'School Rocks!' and 'School is Cool' Treat Bags

 

It seems like the kids just got out of school and already it's time to think about them going back. Sometimes a little note from Mom or a snack presented in a fun way lets them know that they are loved even if you aren't there for lunch anymore. I created a couple different school treat bags to give you some ideas. 

With 'School is Cool' and 'School Rocks', I hope to convey going back to school in a positive way. I used my I-Rock to add some fish bubbles on my School is Cool treat bag. 

The I-Rock is super easy to use to add metallic gems or glam rocks to any project.

 

 

Supplies:

Imaginisce : Pattern Papers (Family Fun), i-Rock, metallic gems

'Thanksgiving Turkeys For Your Table'

Are you looking for some Thanksgiving table decor? I love decorating for a party! These turkeys are going to look great on my Thanksgiving tables. The inspiration for these came from a Minnesota scrapbook store in Pine City. 

I saw rosette turkeys while on a girl's outing last Spring and thought to myself... I need to make something similar to that!  The Imaginisce Bushel O' Fall pattern papers were a perfect choice. I love those yellow, orange, and reds mixed with a touch of teal blue. 

These turkeys were easy to make. I created 3 rosettes using 1", 1.25", and 1.5" strips of pattern papers. I used my i-Top punches to cover the middle of the rosette, so it still looks like turkey feathers. Use a small in the front and a large one in the back to cover the hole in the middle. You want them to look nice from a back view too. 

Supplies:

Imaginisce : Pattern Papers (Bushel O'Fall), i-Top, small, large punches, i-Bond Hot Glue Gun

Monthly Challenge Round 1!

March Madness is the moniker given to the chaos created by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (college basketball) tournaments that traditionally begins the first week of March. This American tradition sends millons of fans into a synchronized frenzy each year due to the concentrated hype surrounding 69 teams vying for college basketball's biggest prize.
