sharing some more Paper Bakery love

Good morning once again.

Today I thought I'd share with you some of my other creations made with the Library Book add-on kit from the Paper Bakery this month.

First off, here's a card:

I used a Fiskars punch to make the flowers out of the tissue paper and used my EK Success zigzag border punch to make the chevron stripes. The tag by itself was beautiful but I thought the flowers added just the right touch. 

Here's a little close-up shot of the flowers: 

I used the tissue paper again to make the ruffle on the top of this layout about our summer trip to Galveston Island in Texas, not too far from where we have family living outside of Houston. 

I appreciate so much that you could stop by my blog today. 

What are you up to this weekend? 

Are you ready for the coming holidays? 

It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than two weeks away!

What is your favorite Christmas treat? 

I hope that you have a great weekend!

The Paper Bakery!

Good morning!

How is  your week going so far?

Are you ready for the holidays?

It looks like Christmas exploded at our house- there are storage containers all over the downstairs, remnants of treat making in the kitchen, toys all over the living room floor...

We just have to make it through the rest of this week and then the kids will be home for Christmas break, we can relax a bit and  hopefully clean things up, too. We've just been running around like crazy and making our rounds to the doctors as well.

This month I had the fun opportunity of guest designing for the Paper Bakery, a fun little kit club that specializes in project kits that are great for altered items and also things like layouts and cards.

Here is the cute kit that I got to work with:

Here is one of the layouts that I created with this kit:

These are just hand-cut hearts and I used my EK Success border punch for the chevrons.

The tissue paper in the kit was so cute! I used one of my Sizzix dies to cut the flower and then bunched up some of the blue trim to make the flower center and a piece of a fabric strip for the tie. 

The brown flower came in the kit and the others were cut from the same flower die that I used for the tissue paper flower. 

I'll share some more things tomorrow!

Thanks so much, Sarah, for the chance to guest design this month. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
