So Im off to Play Go Away Monster with the baby but...

I have two things to share, one is another mini-would-be-charm had I remembered to punch the hole on top befor finishing it ;). Or two of them, I colored the one on the left and 9 year old colored the one on the right...


And the second is a batch of Christmas card that I just LOVE how they turned out, I need to make a lot more over the next day, I dunno if Ill get them all done cause I want a variety of designs but I may not have the time, its quicker to make them all the same...

The Greeting Farm Charms

So I didn't quite get the bracelet made, but I did get some charms done today!! They are not as good a quality as I was going for, I burned them just a bit. Ill be doing more soon, so keep your eyes peeled :D. Ive already had a request from someone who wants to order a set, Im not sure yet what to charge... fairly time consuming....

So its been a while...

But I was a busy little beaver all day yesterday, making paper stuff, fun paper stuff, REALLY fun paper stuff :D. I can see these are going to be some of my favorite things to create for a while...

First up, the cutest thing ever, an all paper picnic basket, which I downloaded the template for at http://www.papertreyink.com for $5

I printed the template onto the card stock on my printer, cut it out, scored it on my scor-pal, punched the decorative top flap with a border punch, and then used scor tape to adhere it together. Colored the greeting farms little red riding hood Anya stamp in with my copic markers and voila, here we have an adorable little picnic basket which I will be sending to my grandmother who just had surgery, if I can find the patience to lug my fit throwing 2 year old to the post office with me ;)






Next, a set of mini milk cartons and a cute matching carrier that I will probably use to send a teacher a gift on her birthday. Template also downloaded from papertreyink.com.

Template was again printed on cardstock, then it was cut out, scored, put together with scor tape and then decorated with my awesome new pink and black paper stack from the hobby lobby, which I got during the 50% off paper sale. Holes punched in top with crop-o-dile, ribbon weaved into holes, and corners of holder rounded with a crop-o-dile corner chomper.







And last but not least, my Jamie Fraser/Outlander inspired pocket calendar. Image also from the freeting farm. blank pocket calendar came from californiapapergoods.com
