Best Wishes

Hello everyone!  Every new year I resolve to play in more challenges.  Now that I have my own craft room, I think it will be easier to create now.  I had time since I'm off so I decided to start this year :)  And I'll just have to schedule time to play starting on Wednesday when I go back to work.

This is for the MFT Sketch Challenge.  The deadline is noon Jan. 1.  It isn't exactly what I wanted to make, but I decided to post and play along anyway.  I think I'm just out of practice LOL!


I used MFT Gift Box Cover-Up Die, Best Wishes Die, and Forever and Owlways Stamps and Dies.  The sequins are Chocolate Truffle from Annie's Paper Boutique.

Have a great day!

Trendy Bakers Twine -- Salty & Sweet Treats

Hello everyone!  I'm posting over at Twine It Up with Trendy Twine.  Is anyone else going crazy trying to finish last minute gifts and cards besides me?  I haven't mailed one card and have been trying to get some treats for coworkers finished for this week.


This weekend I made some quick chocolate covered pretzels and added a Cranberry Tag-It with Peppermint Twist Trendy Twine for some fast treats to pass out at work.


I used some pretzel bags that I had in the house and wrapped my Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine around it.  I stamped my sentiment from This is December #2 stamp set onto a Cranberry Tag-it.  Next, I added a Candy Cane Trendy Page Dot and some Peppermint Stick Sequins to the tag.  Finally, I tied it to the top with a bow.

Life is crazy, so treats need to be easy LOL!
Have a great day!

Trendy Bakers Twine -- Be Merry!

Hello everyone! I'm posting over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine today.  This month, the Trendy Gals are spotlighting Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine.  I also used the Small Pillow Boxes, the Merry & Bright Stamp Set, and Peppermint Stick Sequins


I filled my Small Pillow Boxes with my Christmas M&M's.  Then I wrapped my Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine around the box like a package and made a knot.  Then I used a tag die to cut out the tag, stamp Be Merry from the Merry & Bright Stamp Set onto it, and I added a sequin to each tag from the Peppermint Stick Sequins.  I just finished it off by tying the tag onto the box and finishing it off with a bow.


Have a great day!
