Snowpeople Goodie Bags
I still have a bunch of old white paper bags to reuse so I decided to make snowpeople goodie bags for my notary group. The bags hold a small notebook and refill, a pen and chocolate of course! I made the scarf using leftover ribbon from last year.

Mini Thank You Cards
This is the project I made to use the mini thank you cards with stenciled leaves from a previous post. The ‘pillow’ boxes contain basket filler and chocolates (of course!). I use glue dots to hold the ends closed and raffia or twine to wrap around the ‘pillow’ and I wrote a thank you message

Fall Leaves
My old coffee cup sleeves have been given a bright, new purpose for Fall. I used acrylic paint in dry brushing the corrugated side of of the sleeve and then used a leaf punch to make a number of leaves that will be added to an upcoming project. Coffee and crafts a great combination!

Paper Flowers
I made this 10” tissue paper flower to add to a co-workers birthday gift. It will outlast a balloon and adds a great “bloom” of color. It’s a quick and easy accordion fold project.
Background Collages
I am making small collage backgrounds to use up my paper scraps. I use gel medium to attach the scraps to my base paper then stencil and foil for added color. I run the dried paper through the Xyron ‘Create a Sticker’ machine to get and even coat of adhesive that makes the paper adhere

Birthday Card Stamping
A happy circumstance for a Happy Birthday card. When stamping this card the first impression was a bit too light, but I was able to darken it without smudges using my precision press!!! so glad when tools work the way they are supposed to.
