New Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial available today!
Posted by: | Comments
While previewing the new Summer Mini Catalogue last month, I was inspired by the new Designer Series Paper pack, Beyond the Garden, to create some beach themed items. Beach bags immediately came to mind!
I always seem to be collecting a new beach bag every year (mostly cause I can’t find the previous year’s one!) and I love the fun bright colors they all have and of course, their capacity to hold lots of items for a day outdoors. So, to stay true to the purpose of a real beach tote bag, I created these three replicas keeping space in mind.
All three totes are large and strong enough to be used as gift bags for that special summer or Hawaiian themed party:
*** Flower Rimmed Wild Wasabi tote measures 8 1/2″ wide at the top, 7″tall excluding handle (11″with handle) and is 2″ deep
*** Daffodil Delight Nautical Striped tote measures 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and is 2″ deep
*** Round Clutch Handle tote measures 7 1/2″ long, is 6″high and 1 1/2″ deep
Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial includes:
15 pages of written instructions and measurements to complete all three projects
40 step by step photos to assist you in recreating the projects
$3.99 CAD
The tutorial will be emailed to you as a PDF file following your purchase through PayPal.

Leadership Gifts
Posted by: | CommentsWhat an amazing day at Leadership conference today! We were exposed to non-stop fun and excitement, which lasted about 14 hours! I’m happy to be sitting in my very quiet hotel room writing this very short post before I crash into my bed! Incidentally, our hotel room has a king sized bed in it, with one of those “sleep number” mattresses.
You know the ones, you can decide how soft or hard you want each side of the mattress to be…
Well, I picked a number out of a hat last night as I was laying there…it felt like a good choice at the time…
…this morning, my lower back was screaming at me!! I’ll choose a different number tonight and see how it goes…
…I’m just anxious to get back to my own bed with my memory foam top…
…moving on…
Here is a little something I made for Becky Roberts and Kim Sinclair, my leadership buddies this week (please excuse the bad hotel lighting for these photos):
I made them each a Trapezoid Purse and filled them with Coffee Crisp chocolate bars – they apparently don’t have these in the US.
Supplies used:
Stamps – Eat Chocolate
Paper and Ink – Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Pawsitively Prints II DSP, Chocolate Chip
Accessories – Pear Pizzazz poly-stitched ribbon, 1 3/4″circle punch, Scallop Die #2 and Big Shot, 1/8″hole punch, dimensionals
TTFN!

Christmas Packaging Idea
Posted by: | Comments
Here is a cute idea for you to package some really cute little items in.
It’s a purse shaped like a trapezoid – just like my real current one! Once you fill it, it’s not gonna tip over, that’s for sure!
This is an open view .
When closed, the front flap and cover/lid are secured together with velcro or magnets – they both work well. I left the front tabs unattached to the sides for ease of loading and unloading goodies and treats.
Same purse – different look
My tutorial for this trapezoid purse for gift giving is available today!
It includes 9 pages of instruction along with 26 photos to assist you in creating your own purses.
The tutorial is available starting today for $1.99 CAD.
I’m going to go make a dozen more and then figure out what fun and festive things to put inside. Not that it matters because it’s all about the packaging, isn’t that what they say?
TTFN!

Christmas Tea Box
Posted by: | CommentsI saw a new brand of Christmas herbal tea in the grocery store and it managed to fall into my cart and come home with me – I decided the tea bags needed a new, more festive box to sit in:
This box will stay visible in my kitchen during the Christmas season. Only 3 weeks until its time to put up the tree! I love it!
TTFN!
