ANOTHER challenge entry!

I have been having fun crafting lately, can ya tell?  I embellished this gift bag for a Valentine's Day challenge over at stayingcrafty.blogspot.com  I did the blog hop, and now I am submitting my entry!!!   This is what was required:          

"create a project that has some type of love theme, wedding, anniversary, Valentine's, etc.
It also has to have something to do with wrapping a gift, or holding something like Valentine cards or candy.  You can make a bag, a box, a tag, etc.  You can alter an existing item or make something from scratch. There are a lot of possibilities here!  No cards or scrapbook pages."

Here it is! 

RECIPE:  I took a fuschia gift bag and added this beautiful shiny, glittery, heart paper to the front.

I used an EK Success border punch on a piece of Basic Black Stampin' Up cardstock and adhered it to the bottom portion of the bag and added some pearls.

The tag was cut out from the Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge at 3-1/2" in Stampin' Up Basic Black cardstock, and the shadow also at 3-1/2" in Very Vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up.  I used Tattered Angels Pearl Glimmer Mist on the tag, added pink pearls, and hung it from the handle with black ribbon. 

The handle has several Stampin' Up organdy ribbons.

KYLIE IS A CRAFTER TOO!

My daughter Kylie loves to make cards.  She is 4, and wants all the fun stuff, of course, so she got a lot of things for Christmas so she can craft with me.  We got her a little table, and she likes to spread out, stamp, cut, use ribbon, and loves stickles!  She is so cute and talented!!  My husband was impressed with her card.

She made me laugh yesterday, because I recorded my first video, played it back on the computer, she was watching and her comment was..."Mom!  You're a movie star like the other ladies on the youtube videos we watch!"  I FELT SO SPECIAL!  I aspire to be as great a "movie star" as you ladies out there making informative and fun videos are.  

Hello Everyone!

I am so excited!!!  I have my first follower-Tisha!  Hurray for me!  I can't wait to get started building my blog and making it special.  I plan to have videos as well as pictures for my friends and family to see what I do in my spare time.  I love seeing all the videos and visiting people's blogs, and getting to know my fellow scrapbookers/card makers.  Stay tuned, I will posting a video of my craft space soon!
