Memories in the Making: Mini Shopping Bags

Mini Shopping Bags

I just love CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge mini shopping bags and have used them so much this holiday season. They are perfect for sweet treats, ornaments and any small gift. This week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge was to use the very festive and colorful wreath below to gather inspiration for a project. I loved the color combination and all the polka dots and was inspired to decorate some mini-shopping bags as gifts for my daughter's dance teachers. Do you see the inspiration?

I used the black tone on tone plaid paper from the Sweatheart Workshop on the go pack, the Pear B&T paper for this spring's Sophia paper pack, and punched the Sunflower stars out of the snowflake stocking stamp from October's Stamp of the Month.

Create your very own custom polka dot tissue paper by using the eraser of a pencil as a the perfect stamp.

So simple, yet so cute. Scrappin' makes me happy!

Time goes by way too fast! It seems like it was just yesterday, I was a new mom "learning the ropes," making mistakes and just trying to figure motherhood out. Now I am a mom of 2 school aged childern. How in the world did that happen!

Luckily, I have photos on top of photos to prove that these two children here once little. These photos are precious memories that I love to look back on and remember. Reminiscing always helps me to see that I am so blessed and do have "A Wonderful Life."

I have found scrapbooking to a be hobby that helps me do this. Not only can I showcase my favorite pictures on a layout, but I can also capture special memories and funny/favorite quotes, to always keep thoses memories fresh.

I hope to be able to use this blog as a way to share this hobby with others as well as to share tips I come across along the way that help making crafting fun and not too time consuming. Although, I will mostly share paper crafting, I hope to also include fun "mommy tips" for crafting with kids, birthday parties, fun and easy recipes and just about anything that makes life with kids a little bit easier. Just know there will always something "crafty" here. Crafting just makes me happy!
