St Patrick's Day Share

First of all, I am embarrassed to say that I had decided I was going to update my blog at least 3 times a week this year.  As you can see from my posts, Jan 1st, then nothing.  I really am going to try and do better. 

St Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays.  Not sure why, it has nothing to do with the green beer ;).  Green is one of my favorite colors and maybe that is why.  I also enjoy the thought and belief of "luck".  I am so "lucky" for so many things in my life. 

Valentine's Day Gift Bag

I found these gift bags on clearance and decided to add a little to them.  I thought the brown matched perfectly with the chocolate chip cardstock.

Stampin Start

I created this card using only the starter kit supplies that you get when you sign up to be a demonstrator with Stampin Up.  I loved the challenge!

Pie Box Candle

I found these cute little pumpkin pie candles in the dollar bin at the craft store.  This is the pie box I created to hold them.  I changed out the ribbon they had with some pumpking pie ribbon.  They had other "flavors" as well. Can't wait to make more!

Instructions:

For the box insert that holds the Pie:
I used a 5x5 piece of CS and scored all 4 sides at 1/2 inch.
I then cut out the square of each corner.
Last, I used the 2.5" circle punch to create a spot for the pie to sit.

For the box:
I started with a 7x11 piece of CS. 
Holding the paper vertical, score 1.5" from the left and the right.
Holding the paper horizontal, score at 1.5", 5.5", and 7".  Cut in on the side pieces as shown below. 
Here is the template.

Hope that helps.  If you have any questions, just let me know!

Heartfelt Thanks!

This is a card I made using the new DSP in the Holiday mini and the stamp set Hodgepodge Happiness.

Halloween Decor Elements

I added the Halloween Decor Elements to create a display piece for Halloween.  This was a very simple project that took less than 15 minutes to create. 

Open House

I had an open house yesterday that was so much fun.  We did two make n take projects and I had tons of samples on display.  Thanks to everyone who came.  It was wonderful meeting everyone.  I also had a door prize, and the winner is.....Deb Geist!  Congratulations and I hope to see everyone again soon!
