Season of Joy

Hello everyone, I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. We all have a lot to be thankful for, I know I do!

I am letting you know, from here on out through the New Year, I will only be posting random cards and projects. This is a busy time of year, and I have family obligations first and foremost. So, I will not be posting Make and Take Monday or Project Friday until the second week in January. However, I will be posting, just not on a particular schedule.

Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to seeing you soon. Have a blessed week! Hugs Brenda

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I did not have any classes going on this week, so I don't have a project to post. However, I do want you to know I was thinking of y'all.

Enjoy spending time with family and friends. Thanks for stopping by. See you next Monday, with a new make and take. Hugs Brenda

Christmas Note Pad

Project Friday

Hello everyone! It's time for another project. Today I would like to share with you, this note pad and holder. I made this, because we all need little Christmas gifts to give, without going broke in the process. There are a lot of these of all sizes on YouTube. I measured my paper pad, cut and scored accordingly.

Thank you for stopping by, today. I hope you like this quick and easy project? Make some for those special people on your Christmas list. They will love you for it, because you took the time to make something instead of buying something. Handmade is special.

Have a great weekend! Hugs Brenda

Two Pocket Tea Bag Pouch

Project Friday

Hello everyone! It's Friday and I have a cute project for you today. I came up with this two pocket tea bag pouch. I have been looking on the Internet for something that would hold a couple of tea bags and I found one, but it was more intricate than I liked. So, this is what I came up with.

Is this cute, or what! I may do a tutorial on this, but I'll have to get all my measurements and scoring worked out first. It's very easy,but I just want to have the proper measurements.

Folder using Thick 12x12 Scrapbook Paper

Hello everyone! Today I have a quick and easy project for you,  using a 12x12 sheet of thick or double sided scrapbook paper. I found this project on YouTube by May May Made it. Go check her out! She has a lot of different craft projects, with easy step by step instructions.

I made 80 of these in no time at all. I did a section at a time with an assembly line going on. I did all the scoring, then all the ribbon, the brads, and then last but not least, I put in the note paper.

If you have a lot of thank you gifts to give, this is the perfect project. Also, it's a great way to get rid of a lot of your stash you've accumulated.
