One of my all time favorite treat holders is this matchbook M&M holder. So simple, yet so cute. You staple the M&M bag inside and then decorate the matchbook. This is what it looks like open. I used the Happy Halloween strip to hide the staple. I had fun decorating the front with the pumpkin jack-o-laterns. The matchbook is so small it doesn't need a lot. What do you do for Halloween? Do you pass out … [Read more...] about Matchbook M&Ms

A Walk In The Woods
Living in Southern California, we don't too many areas around here that look like this. You usually have to make a trip up to the mountains to see some Fall color. Someday, I'd love to see the Fall colors on the East Coast. I imagine it looks something like this. This All About Autumn pattern paper just so pretty. This particular sheet makes me want to take a long walk in the woods, enjoying the many blessings of Autumn. The copper colors, … [Read more...] about A Walk In The Woods

Look At That Shine!
I'm back today with another All About Autumn Suite card. I'm using the Oxidized copper pattern paper for my back ground paper in today's card. I love the combination of the copper and the peacock color. Who knew blue was a Fall color? I love how the copper and the blue pair so well together. As you know, the Holiday Catalog started on Wednesday. There are a couple products that have sold out. But, don't worry, they will be back in … [Read more...] about Look At That Shine!
All About Autumn
Okay, it's not quite time to get out the fuzzy sweaters, but the last few days have definitely had a drop in temperature. Hooray! Today I'm using the All About Autumn Suite. The stamp set stamps these huge leaves and the coordinating dies cut leaves in a variety of sizes. I absolutely love the paper in this Suite. The pack is a 6x6" pack of paper with lots of options for Fall cards and projects. It has leaves, pumpkins, library books, … [Read more...] about All About Autumn
Pick of the Patch
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing one of the first cards I've made using new products in the Holiday Mini Catalog. This features the Pick of the Patch bundle, which is a stamp/punch bundle. The punch cuts out these two pumpkins and stems from the set. The pattern paper is from the All About Autumn pack, which is 6x6" pack of paper. I like these smaller sheets for cards because the patterns tend to be smaller for cards. One nice thing about … [Read more...] about Pick of the Patch
Last of the Seedlings
First, let me apologize for my oopsie on Wednesday. I set my posts to automatically go live in the am. I goofed and set it for pm. I fixed it as soon as I realized it hadn't posted. Sorry! Happy Friday! This is it for the Soft Seedlings for now. I wanted to share one more version in a different color for this card. For this card, I lightly inked it in the early espresso color so you can see more of the veins in the leaves. This card … [Read more...] about Last of the Seedlings
