Today's Etsy Update

I just added an American Girl Craft Kit for only $6.  It has 3 of the American Girl Crafts items in it. Somehow I just don't think my little girl will appreciate them so her loss is your gain.  And you get all 3 items for less then the cost of one of the craft kits. 
SOLD
I also added some needle felting and am adding a few larger items to craigs list.  I have a box full of fun fushion kits and extras if anyone is interested send me an email and I'll give you a very good deal.

Christmas Card and Tag Kits

My Etsy store is up and running and I'll be adding items daily so be sure to check back often!

Today I added 2 really cute card/tag kits. 

The first kit is all Martha Stewart Glitter Chirstmas.  The kit is only $5. and contains all the goodies needed to make 6 cards and 6 tags to embellish all your holiday gifts.  And the papers are double sided. 

This all comes packaed in this reuseable gift bag.  And I added a few extra stamped images so you have tons of choices for your gift tags. 
 And this is my favorite.  If you like vintage Christmas you'll love this K & Company line.  This comes with 6 die cut card base papers and lots of extras.  If you don't make cards this could be easily used for your holiday scrapbook pages, or it would make an adorable mini album! 

Additional quanties are available.  Send me an email if interested. 
Making these kits first made me start on my Christmas cards even before my stamps have arrived. 
I'm so excited to start early this year, this is a first for me!

Party Favors

I just posted my add to craigs list and have orders already!
First I made these cute little favors for Keshia's wedding from store purchased tins.  I want to add ribbon to the rims but am having a hard time getting a good adhesive, that looks good when it's finished. 


And these are for a Christening of a new baby boy.   Available individually or as stackables.

Happy Wednesday!

What a fun day.  I actually went to my daughters school today and spent the day with her.  They are doing some a fun community event where the science department invites the community in to do science projects.  I know they will have a blast tonight.

We also had our first trick or treaters tonight.  Just some family so they came early.  What fun costumes they had on.  I'll share those pictures later. 

Tonight I was just to tired to do anything so wanted to share a lo I made with some beautiful new 7 Gypsies papers.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Are you ready for the winter holidays?  I'm sure not, and actually still working on fall projects.  But I took a break from the spooky projects today to play along with the PTI blog hop. 

The Challenge:
There is always a lot of focus on Christmas in our industry this time of year, as that is what the majority
of the population celebrates. However, this month's blog hop is dedicated to those that celebrate winter
holidays other than Christmas. Create a project that celebrates Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or some other
winter holiday as we embrace everyone's beliefs in a celebration of diversity through paper crafting.

And this is my winter holiday card. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by Nichole's blog to play along.

More Halloween Fun

Last night we went to WalMart and picked up the final touches of goodies for our Trick or Treaters.  Then came home and put the bags together.  It's my task for the next 2 weeks to put the finishing touches on the bags.  This the the bag topper I made today.  We do rather large bags so it's more like a card front but aren't these little googlie eyes cute and scray at the same time.  They are from SEI Mosterville Line and so is the paper. 

Be sure to stop by the Paper Issues Blog and link up your Halloween projects!
Have a fabulous day and thanks for stoping by.

How Much Is To Much....

Hello everyone,
Today I'm guest desinger at the How Much is To Much challenge blog.  Come on over and play along for a chance at the monthly prize. 

The challenge:
Something old is new again! It’s time to go dumpster diving….(well at least in your scrap room) and pull out some of those old papers and embellishments and see what you can do with them. I don’t want to see them in raw form, I want you to add to them or change them to make them new. You can use paints, glues and glitters, inks or whatever other creative idea you come up with.

And this is my lo. 
I hope you have the chance to play along. 

Have a great day,
Joyce
