Gingerbread Gift Box for MyTime Made Easy

I love Gingerbread Men!  One of the first things I think about baking as it gets close to Christmas are little tasty gingerbread men.  The new paper at My Time Made Easy is perfect for decorating a gift box of gingerbread for Christmas.  This new template is called Gifted - and the possibilities are endless.  This box could be decorated any color, any theme your little heart desires.

I desired Gingerbread Men, of course!  However, I did not actually get around to making any actual gingerbread men, so will you please just imagine they are there? 

I made the banner by just cutting out the cute images on the paper.  Easy, but cute, huh?  The tag is made with shapes from the new Homemade Labels Cut File and the Homemade Labels Sentiments stamps.  You've already guessed that there's more to see, so go see  all the pretty creations here:

Halloween at AWNB and RRR

 It's Halloween at Art With No Boundaries and Recycle, RePurpose & ReInvent! 

You might recognize sweet Priscilla on the cover of the box.  She is one of Chris's creations at CS Designs.  When Priscilla opens the door, she finds a very interesting trick or treater.

The bonus round at RRR is No Bones about It.   I thought the skeleton would fit that requirement nicely.  I recycled the skeleton and the yellow ribbon that were on a gift bag from last year's Halloween.

Now for Art With No Boundaries.   This time I created a Halloween ornament using Solitaire Mask of Webs.

Isn't she cool?  Couldn't resist using the aqua and orange that's so popular right now.  Be sure to check out all the other awesome projects at Art With No Boundaries and Recycle, RePurpose & ReInvent.  ome join us!

I Support You for My Time Made Easy

At My Time Made Easy, we are continuing with the October Release.  Lauren made this pretty ribbon template in honor of Cancer Awareness.

 

I made a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness, but you'll see several different colors at the other DT blogs.  Many of them shared their stories of how cancer has had a great affect on their lives and why they were choosing a certain color.  We have been so lucky that cancer has not entered our lives as of yet.  I am very thankful.

 

You can see all the new release in the New Products section at My Time Made Easy.    Be sure to visit to these blogs to see more ideas for the Ribbon Template:

Holly Jolly at My Time Made Easy

Just looking at this peppermint candy box makes me feel Holly Jolly!  That red and white with the cute candy cane stamp certainly sets the mood.  It's time for preview days of the October release at My Time Made Easy.

The Candy Wrapper Template is just perfect for Christmas - but it would also be great for birthdays, too.  I decided to create a peppermint candy wreath for the surprise inside.  I saw the original on Martha Stewart - she used icing to hold it together.  I went for the hot glue instead and added a couple of leaves, too.  The wreath is displayed for giving on a tag made from shapes in the new Homemade Holiday Labels Cut File - aren't they pretty together?

There are lots of new goodies to see today.  Check them out here:

Halloween for Craft Us Crazy and TCC

Craft Us Crazy is back!   The challenge for the next two weeks is Halloween or Anything Goes.  That makes it really easy - so link up those projects!

We are being sponsored by one of my favorites:  The Cutting Cafe.   Regina is giving away three sets of choice to the winner!  Since I'm a designer for both, I've combined my project for this week. 

Chevron is everywhere!  Have you seen those cute little chevron bags for sale?  Well, you can now make your own (for a lot less).  I printed the orange chevron from the Fall Chevron Set onto copy paper, folded it up, zig zagged the sides and pinked the top.  It feels just like the bags I've bought!  The bat is from Halloween Time and the spider is from Halloween Trio.

Inside is one of the cute Halloween Bingo cards with a yummy pumpkin lollipop and a tag from Halloween This and That. 

Be sure to go to both Craft Us Crazy and The Cutting Cafe Blog to see fun chevron and Halloween projects.  And they've both got giveaways, too!

Chinese Take Out for AWNB

We are continuing our Asian theme at Art With No Boundaries.  Just look at these gorgeous dominoes created by Chris at CS Designs.  I used one of the traditional Geishas (on the left) and a Harajuku Girl (on the right). 

I created a gift set using a clear takeout box and a pretty drink umbrella we've had in a kitchen drawer for about 20 years!   I made some paper fortune cookies to slip inside. 

We hope you'll join us at Art With No Boundaries.  You'll see the DTs wonderful projects and these pretty new images!  So glad you stopped by...

Fall'n for Flair

Why are those cute little pins called Flair?  I wasn't sure, so I went to Google.  It appears that in the movie, Office Space, that Jennifer Aniston's character had buttons pinned all over her waitress apron -showing off her flair.  So, there you go, now we know (you probably already knew)... 

The new theme at Paper Issues is Fall'n for Flair.  Got some Flair?  Link it up!  You could win your own flair from A Flair for Buttons.  They are giving away two sets of six buttons!

Have a wonderful week!
