Don't these sentiments fit graduation perfectly??!!  Their adventure awaits, so why not give them a journal to record it in? The Kraft Grid Journals from the Annual Catalog are such a great size!  Perfect for a pocket or purse.   What better way to record your goals or thoughts when you are out on an adventure!  To make this bold journal, I first stamped Gorgeous Grunge on the cover in Memento Tuxedo Black.  A piece of map from Ty...

I have a fun little treat bag to share today that actually matches my card from yesterday .  I used For Being You and Stacked with Love Designer Paper Stack. The paper from the designer paper stacks doesn't quite fit the Mini Treat Bag thinlet, but I made due.  I used two of the smaller side to piece together the back.  With the design of paper that I used, this method worked out fine. For the front, I cut a banner with the striped paper and added a few embellishments.  The sentiment was stamped on a starburst of Calypso Coral.  I...

I have to say that I really LOVE the new Mini Treat Bag Thinlet in the Occasions Catalog.  It was one of the first items on my wish list and I am soooo glad I got it!  There are endless ways to use this bag and today I am going to share one. This treat was inspired by a bag of Berry flavored Skittles that was sitting on my counter.  I looked at it and thought of Rich Razzleberry.  So down I went to my craft room and whipped up a cute little treat bag with Rich Razzleberry designer paper. I embellished the front of the bag with some of the extra thinlets in the set.  I think the borders are great, especially since they can be used two ways.  I added the actual heart border to the bottom of the bag then scattered the hearts around the top. I love the look of the Pink Pirouette and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper with the richness of Rich Razzleberry. I think the next thing with this thinlet that I will tackle is the cute box that Connie Babbert came up with....

Welcome back!  We are on day 3 of Preview Week for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary .  I absolutely LOVE the new catalog and have a really fun project to share today. The new Mini Treat Bag Thinlet Die is a must have for so many reasons.  Here's a great example of a quick little gift that can be put together in s short amount of time. I made this bag quickly with just a few supplies.  The bag is made with the new Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper.  This paper is to die for!! I love all the beautiful patterns.   It took me a minute to choose a design for my bag, I couldn't decide! To make the bag, you need (1) piece of 6 x 6 paper and (1) piece of 3 x 6.  Simply run them through with the bag thinlet and adhere with Fast Fuse tape.  I only added a couple of embellishments to the front, the paper is bold and doesn't need much added.  I grabbed a doily, folded it in half and stamped a sentiment from Painted Peta...
