Altered Starbucks Bag

Here's an idea for

making a quick gift bag using one from Starbucks (and an extra perk... the bag smells like the Verona that we carried home in it).

I sprayed the bag

with Lindy's Stamp Gang Creme Brulee Cream Starburst for a bit of shimmer.

I adhered on a 

Pink Paislee Artisan Elements swirl that I decorated with Eucalyptus Stickles (Kirsty has the AE here). I topped that with some Prima flowers, an I Am Roses bloom and a satin bow. Easy as 1 2 3. After I tucked in my gift, I put some color matching tissue in and now I'm all set to visit my sister and celebrate her birthday. Can't wait to show you the mini album I made her!

Home! Sweet Home! Christmas Card

The Penmaker and I

made a stop at Walmart yesterday, to pick up a little something for our granddaughter, Dixie who is celebrating her third birthday today. Afterward, we swung through Starbucks for their 2-5pm special. Are you aware of this...

We both went for the Carmel Burlee Latte. It was delicious! After, which being in a Christmas mood, I went home and made another card. 

It's made with the

backsides of these two papers from My Mind's Eye All Is Bright collection...

 "Joy"

"Christmas Tag"

The base is Recollections

Kraft cardstock, which is extremely sturdy, and a dark red scrap from my leftovers for the mats. I applied a bit of Clear Rock Candy Stickles to the torn edge of the piece under the image, which, by the way, is from The Graphics Fairy.

My paper doily stash

has just been replenished. This beauty came from Etsy. The flowers and leaves on the right, are all I Am Roses, the tags are Idea-ology, and the 25 brad is from MME Kraft Funday pack (a surprise to me, also!). The metal corner piece is Momenta (I am soooo loving these things!).

This sticker is from the 

MME All Is Bright 12x12 Chipboard Accessories. The red Ruffle Blossom is from Maya Road. All my lace and pearl trims are from my box of scraps... can't remember now where most of them have come from, but the piece across the bottom looks like it could be Prima or Webster's Pages.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
