For thanksgiving this year I gave out handmade Blessing Jars.  I printed 20 scriptures onto paper and made a tag that says, "Messages to Inspire, Encourage and Comfort"  I put them into a mason jar and covered the top with fabric.  I put into a cellophane bag with a bow.

I hope they enjoyed receiving them as I did making them.

Thanksgiving Craft Project

Im sorry Im so late posting for November.  Regular life has had me super busy.  Her is a project I made with my senior craft group.  I used Tim holtz rosette die for the back, scallop for the inside wings, circle punches for the body, Boho flower punch for the feet and 1/2 heart punch for the gill.  I had everything pre cut and ran the pieces through the sticker maker.  They were able to put the project together very quickly.

Christmas Tag Swap

I saw a really cute punched Elf Pattern on Tinker With Ink & Paper and knew I wanted to use that idea for my Christmas Tag Swap at Swap Your Heart Out.  I used the Tim Holtz Tag for the base, embossed the background and changed a few details. 

I really hope the girls like them.

My Version of Stampin Up Cover Ornament

I loved the paper ornament on the cover of the holiday Stampin Up Catalog.  I don't have the stamps or dies so I decided to try to make one with what I had.  I used my Cricut to cut out the ornament shapes and used my Tim Holtz Rosette for the center.

Art Journal Project

I have started an online Art Journal Challenge at Mini Album Scraps.  It is a self paced group teaching us how to create an Art Journal.  The leader Corissa Freeman posts Videos for each challenge.  Her U-tube is So much to scrap about
The first two challenges were
1.  To purchase an Art Journal
2.  To decorate the front and make a handmade flower.

This is what I came up with....

I made a pocket on the inside to hold a tag which has details of each challenge.

The bear on the top is holding a bottle, has a paper crown and a medallion with the babies name. 

 The second layer has a hand painted paper box filled with treats.  On the back I added 3 paper covered clothes pins to hold mittens.
