mini gift bags…

I have a little tutorial up over on the Doodlebug blog today!

It’s all about taking one of these:

And turning it into one of these:

Yep – from an envelope to a gift bag! 

It’s super easy…and a great way to use the “extra” envelopes you might have on hand.

I’d love for you to check it out!  And if you make some envelope gift bags, please leave a comment with a link – I’d love to see your creations!!  :o)

See all those fun patterned papers in the banner…you’ll never guess what I used to create it!  Check it out here!

I am having so much fun with these photos from a few years ago – I can’t believe I didn’t ever scrapbook them.  The kids all look so little – there’s nothing like a scrapbook page with 3 year old photos to convince you how fast time flies and how quickly your kids change and grow up! :o)

doodlebug halloween cards…

My first design team assignment is up on the Doodlebug blog today!  I was assigned to use the Doodlebug create-a-card bases.  Of course I opted to make Halloween cards – these cute colorful monster designs were just calling my name!

And since these create-a-card packs come with envelopes, I wanted to make a coordinating envelope too!  It was easy with the cut-out pages and rub-ons. :)

These pumpkins are super cute…but I added google eyes to fun-ify them even more!

For some reason the card and envelope look a little yellow (below) in the supply list – but be assured, they are a pretty pumpkin orange! :)
