Treat Bags

Morning hope you are all well and ready for our new ATG/Create a container challenge at 613 Avenue Create.I made three little treat bags made with Toilet roll/kitchen roll inners,covered with paper and glued at the bottom,lace and ribbon round the bottom and for handles,selection of dies from Tattered Lace craft mag freebies,Sue Wilson,flower was made with another craft mag freebie die,small paper flowers/butterfly/gems/dewdrops/papers/liquid pearls/ribbon and lace from stash.

I started sorting through my oddments of paper which was steadily mounting and had the idea of cutting all the different sized strips into 6" lengths to fit onto a 6" square oddment of card and sticking them on using similar colour tones-really please with how they turned out and more oddments used--result-not made much difference to oddment pile though lol.

Embossed Postcard

Morning and we have a new ATG challenge at Daisy Chain and I made a poscard which I also entered into a postcard swap on FB.I stamped and heat embossed the Indigo Blu image in black and the corner flourishes(think they are from Sheena Douglas) in white-mistake because when I covered the card with panpastel it coloured the white too-I then edged the card with a black soot Distress Ink pad.It has to be one layer to go throught the post as a postcard sooo-done!Just sharing a couple of quirky comments from Holly-Ann(grandaughter 8yrs)she wanted a birthday card for a friend and was torn between a small one and a large one -really love the larger one but best take the small as she lives in a bungalow-right!!!She got so excited having a balloon fight with her grandad she came out with ---oooh I could lick a pig???really lol.
