Simple Gift Bag from Shanna

Hello to you all today! Shanna here with a little quick bit of inspiration for you. 

Yes I said quick. This week became crazy busy as my husband came home because last minute he got a weekend off which totally threw off my agenda. However, being the mom I am got to thinking ahhh how can I create something that will inspire people to create on the fly but be super simple, super cute, and really quick. 

I decided to head to my stash of things to alter and I had this little bag from a bag set I bought. You can find these in any party section of craft stores or where they keep bags and envelopes and such. 

I opened it up and added Distress Ink all to the side. Then I grabbed my papers and cute them down to fit. Then I had a lightbulb idea! 

I fussy cut out these flowers from the paper.... and then I cut a strip out creating my own banner from the ... paper. Then I used a stamp from my stash that basically explained who the bag was for. 

The longest part of this of course was the flower fussy cut but I just thought it was so perfect and so cute and great because my daughter's birthday will be here in just 2 days so what better way to sneak her some jewelry our candy!

So give some gift bags a personal touch and have fun!

Araceli From The Planner Creative Team

Hi! Today I am sharing my weekly layout using Heart of Gold Note Page inserts. This week I decided I wouldn't restrict myself to a Monday-Friday Schedule, giving me the freedom to complete the tasks whenever I feel like it, lol.

I decorated the page using stickers, stencils, labels, washi tape. I then used the marion smith Planner Stamps & the Date Seals.

On the right side of my weekly layout, I left a section blank for anything that may pop up during the week. I can easily jot the info down. 

I like to use the notepads in my planner. I hole punch them and insert them into my week. 

I used the Purple heart checklist note pad & a Journaling card that came in theScrap Pack. . I use one for errands/places to go and the other for items I need to buy.

Well that is all I have for you today. If you would like to see more inpiration layouts/etc. You can find me on INSTAGRAM. Until next time, bye bye

Halloween Shadowbox by Yasmin Tölche

Hello all! It's getting closer and closer to Halloween and I've made a halloween decoration with the Marion Smith Designs "Wicked Times" Collection. I love it!

I have to say I do adore making these shadowboxes and gluing all sorts of nicknacks into them. This one was just so fun to make!

This is little shadowbox with trinkes ready to decorate my house. I've added papers for the "Wicked Times" collection to the background and glued loads of junque and gems to accent my piece. The sceleton is the coolest thing ever and are dangeling loosley in front of the box. The flowers are Marion Smith Designs and the small little brown bottle is also a junque and gems.

I can't say it enough the sceleton is just way cool. I've painted the whole box with black gesso, Then I added colorlab pigment into white gesso to make the orange and the purple paints. I covered the whole piece with crackle paint. I'm still unsure if that was the right move. What do you guys think. 

Anyways.. Hope you have a fantastic halloween celebration! Thanks for joining me here today!

Altered Wooden Box from Shanna

Hey y'all. I am excited to be the one to inspire you today. 

I decided to reach into my bin of things to alter and I grabbed this wooden box. 

I decided to "Junque" it up.

So I decided to use several to paint the box with a cream acrylic paint and then covered the box with Junque Gypsy papers.

All the papers with roughed up on the edges then inked with Distress Ink. I used cardboard to layer the lid giving it some dimension. 

Then I cut some pieces for the inside and did the same thing. 

However, for the inside I added a little saying. I also add some lovely Petaloo flowers. 

My favorite part was adding some extra gold trim around the edges to match the gold latches and hinges on the box.

Items Used:

Junque Gypsy Collection - Nota Bene

Junque Gypsy Collection - Dolce Vita
