Sweet Treats...

The other day I wrote about bus driver appreciation day.  Well, my son was carrying the gift bag that I made with the pumpkin bread that he and I baked and as he climbed the stairs of the school bus to present the gift to Miss Valerie, he tripped on the last step and fell flat on his face.  The bag handles ripped, the cookies fell out...I felt so bad for him.  He gathered the bag together and got himself up and then handed it over to the driver.  I just knew he would be upset.  I wanted to jump on the bus, give him a hug and tell him it was okay.  When he got home from school he told me what I had already suspected....he cried the whole way to school because he was so embarrassed....poor little guy.

Well, Sunday is his 7th birthday so we bought goodie bags from the dollar section at Target and embellished them.  The pumpkin is made from three Stampin' Up! punches.  The Small Oval punch, the Ornament punch and the Round Tab punch.  The label is made with the Modern Label punch and the Word Window punch and the "sweet treats" stamp is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.




You can see a video tutorial below on how to make the pumpkin using the three punches.

Witchy Woman

Well I spent half of the day searching on-line for jobs...yuk.  Got word yesterday morning that one of the places I interviewed at was "moving in a different direction" with the job opening they had.  Such a stressful roller coaster ride this job search thing can be.

Well the other half of the day I spent losing myself in my craft room making up little boxes for Halloween and Christmas.  Today I'm sharing the witch box I made.  I used Sahara Sand, Basic Black and Lovely Lilac card stock along with Old Olive and Lovely Lilac classic ink.  On the face I used the large oval punch and several different sized circle punches.  For the eye lashes I used the large flower from the Boho Blossoms punch.  The face is designed on the Top Note die cut with the Big Shot.  I'm planning a video tutorial for this piece so check back if you are interested in seeing how I made her step by step.
