Gift Bag Idea + Tutorial

Have I mentioned how much I love fall and crafting during fall?

The kids are in school, the days are colder, it's just nice go snuggle in and create. 

With the CME November kit I created these gift bags, which were included! HOLLA!

 First I sprayed the acrylic frames with Irresistable Spray from Imagine Crafts,

after I let them dry I inked them with StazOn. 

 Then I trimmed out the patterned paper to fit the front panel on the bags. 

I trimmed the burlap to fit in the frames, and glued them to the back. 

 I added it all to the front of the bags and added some pins and ribbon. 

 Really it's  nice simple handmade touch to a gift that would easily bring a smile.

~Thanksgiving: ColorBox Copper & Scraptastic Club!~

Good morning and Happy Monday my creative friends! 

I actually was able to craft this weekend, not only was I inspired 

and feeling back to my normal crafty self but also I had time!!! LOL

Ashley came over to help me clean out my craft room and I got right to work

the next day. I have a BIG special project coming up for VLVS and I got

a jump on my Thanksgiving projects too!

In the new Scraptastic Kit Club this month they have an exclusive stamp 

add-on. I used that and the Farmer's Market kit- perfect for Thanksgiving. 

 I really wanted to make the stamps popped and use them on a layout

rather than another card so I decided to grab the ColorBox Copper ink

and just make my own embellishments. 

 I am hoping if I make all my Thanksgiving layouts now, I can add my photos 

after we have Thanksgiving dinner/ day. Because I always fall behind on these

fall themed layouts. 

 One layout ready for a 5X7 photo down and 10 more to go! LOL

So are you working on your Thanksgiving projects yet???
