Gift bag from an Envelope– Part II
Posted: Sunday, April 29th, 2007 | Comments
This is an update for all the questions that I have gotten!
You can see in the photo the regular medium Vanilla envelope was sealed and (holding it portrait) using the tag punch, punch out each side, leaving the flap in the middle as a handle. I actually can get down one and a half punches to make the handle longer.
Trim the outer 45 degree angle left from the tag punch off to square off the outer edge.
I could have just explained it, but a photo is worth a thousand words!

Gift Bag from an Envelope
Posted: Thursday, April 26th, 2007 | Comments
This cute little bag was made from a regular sized vanilla envelope… sealed and then the “tag punch” was used to punch the sides and what’s left in the middle forms the handle and you can slip something small in it.
I got this adorable idea from my downline Jackie Schultz who borrowed my Doodle This set and when she returned it, included a sample of the one she made with it! Thank you Jackie!
This is one of the seven projects for my April Stamp-A-Stack of stuff I am doing tonight and tomorrow morning.

The lure of sponge daubers…
Posted: Thursday, April 26th, 2007 | Comments
I am preparing for my class tonight and my cat Bonnie has discovered that I have left the sponge daubers unguarded! They are her weakness…showing once more how versatile this wonderful accessory is!
Bonnie is one of three kitties that I have adopted from the Dumpster Cat Rescue League (located in DE). They are a wonderful organization of ladies who network to rescue, spay and find homes for these cats and kittens. They rely entirely on volunteers and donations from generous cat lovers.
Bonnie is my favorite and my buddy. I had a black and white cat named Shadow for 15 years and when Shadow went away I didn’t think I would ever love a cat that much again. Well, Bonnie is a very close second! I am glad I took the plunge to love again, because we were meant to be together. Her litter mate Bella is a very beautiful black and white cat, but regards me with a look that sizes me up as a “lower life form”. I know where I stand with her “I live to serve”.
I will be posting soon some of my class ideas!
6×6 Album with “Tickets & Tokens”
Posted: Thursday, April 19th, 2007 | Comments
I love these easy to make paper “albums”! I will be teaching this class at the ScrappingGetaway.com event in Philadelphia this weekend (and I offer it quarterly).
This album is exactly half of a Scrappin’ Memories(tm) kit and I will be uploading the photos of all the different books that I have made with the different kits. Until then, you can view the ones on my Project Gallery which include directions on how to make them!
