Tea Bag holder




I made this tea bag holder with my new Whipper Snapper stamp sets. I knew I wanted to make something with a tea bag when I first saw this tea pot image. I LOVE tea and it just goes with a warm, cozy quilt. The tea pot is cut out and covered with crystal effects to make it shiny like ceramic. I added the zig-zag 'stitching' to the borders - I am not a sewer and do not own a sewing machine, but the card needed something to finish it off. I'm happy with how it turned out!

The ribbon and tea pot image are on a belly band keeping the card closed. It slips off easily so the card can be opened.
I added a 'quilt' to the inside left and the message on the right. This brand of Earl Grey is my favorite!

New Moon Day




The big day is finally here, I'm seeing the movie tonight.

I found these chocolate fangs in early September when the Halloween candy was just put out. I bought them and knew I wanted to make something fun for me and my Twilight friends (I'm nerdy like that!). I decided to make little treat bags with decorated toppers. I made a total of 19 bags. I really *despise* mass producing stuff, but these were fun!!

I used a cuttlebug for the black background, added a red strip of paper, a clear embossed moon, a punched out bat, 2 confetti hearts, a computer printed message and 2 brads to hold it together.

Not only do I get to see my good friend and go to a movie today, but we're eating at PF Changs for dinner which is my favorite restaurant!!!!! I already know what I'm ordering - vegetarian lettuce wraps. LOVE THEM!!!
