Pop Up Treat Box

One of the challenges this weekend at the My Scraps and More Wonder"FALL" crop was to create a treat container. Many months before I had seen a pop up treat box/bag on YouTube. I wasn't able to find the video again (I didn't look very hard either) so I just decided to go off of what I remembered.

When you open the flap a small treat is lifted up out of the box.


Challenges:
Getting Cricky - Simply Sunday - Fall Treats

Nature Walk Layout


I used Creative Scrappers sketch #172 for this layout. I also used a recipe challenge from My Scraps and More. My recipe included journal strips, brads, black and white photo, 2 patterned papers and sewing.

Challenges:
Creative Scrappers - Sketch 172

Apple of My Eye Layout

My Scraps and More held their Wonder"FALL" crop with weekend. One of their challenges was a BINGO challenge. I chose to use brads, stitching, buttons and glitter. This is the layout I came up with.


Challenges:
Wee Memories - Challenge #69 - Patterned Paper
Whimsical Wednesdays - Anything Goes

Owl Birthday Card

I used my new favorite cartridge, Create A Critter, and scraps for all of the cuts on this card. To make the branch I took grosgrain ribbon, rolled it into a circle and glued it to the paper. I didn't have any tacky glue or anything like that so I used Mighty Mend-It (yup the infomercial stuff) that my husband's grandmother gave to us years ago.


Challenges:
My Craft Spot - Monday Challenge #26 - Ribbon
Fantabulous Cricut - Challenge Me Monday #79 - Leaves are Falling
Celebrate the Occasion - Challenge #32
Ribbon Carousel - RCC 22 - Alter It
Cricut Cardz Challenge - #92 - Owls

Doodlebug Birthday Card

Just a quick post today. I need to beat a deadline all while participating in an online crop over at the forums of My Scraps and More. It's been a lot of fun and there are a lot of great prizes to be won!


I used Doodlebug for everything but the balloon. I cut the balloon from Elmo's Party and used We R Memory Keepers candy stripe twine for the string.

Challenges:
Celebrate the Occasion - Challenge #31
