Goodie Bags

Posted by Laura McBride This month, my supply from WholePort included goodie bags and stickers that can be used for gifts and parties. It just so happens that I have my piano recital tomorrow (both Valerie and I teach piano lessons!), so these came just in time to make goodie bags for my students.

 The bags come with a strip that can be pulled off, revealing an adhesive layer to help close your bags.

These stickers are too cute!

I hope my students love them!  Be sure to check out WholePort's website for all sorts of packaging materials from stickers, to twist ties, to bags, to ribbon and more!

Memorial Day Round Up

Posted by Valerie Earnest Memorial Day is coming up soon, and I know you're dying to deck your halls patriotic-style.  Or maybe that's just me.  Anyway, I've put together a few ideas, both from our blog and from some of our crafty friends.

First, you can't go wrong with a simple Star Banner.
  
You can also make a patriotic-themed Scrapbook Paper-Covered Star.

This Patriotic Wooden Block is simple to make and perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Of course, don't forget to check out Laura's Patriotic Wreath if you missed it this week.

And there's my Land of Liberty Framed Vinyl and Free Printable.

I love these party printables from Homespun With Love.  They really help you remember the purpose of Memorial Day.  

I love ribbon topiaries and this one from Bug Lover Cards is just beautiful!  Now I want to make another one!

Are you feeling inspired to create yet?  I know I am!  Pretty much I am just excited for Memorial Day because school will be out, and I can spend it with my kids without worrying about getting ready for school the next day.  How are you celebrating Memorial Day?

Patriotic Wreath

Posted by Laura McBride Memorial Day is just around the corner, followed shortly by the Fourth of July (say what?!) This wreath will be a great decoration to fit the festivities.

I used beaded necklaces and a scarf from the dollar store. I'm not sure why, but I always feel like patriotic things need a little sparkle. Thinking of fireworks maybe? 

This was a 14" wreath form, and I ended up needing 32 necklaces to complete the whole circle. So for about $10 you can make a wreath like this too! I used hot glue at the beginning and end of each necklace and wound the red and white together. My son mentioned that it looked like a candy cane, so maybe I could change the scarf out at Christmas time for a green one! Thanks bud! I love things I can use more than once ;)

Also today is the last day for our Silhouette chipboard promotion. Seriously, if you've been thinking of trying it, this is the best price you'll find.
