ABAC - Candy Holder & Book Mark

IMG_2010

Good Sunday morning, peeps!

Hope the day is treating you well so far! Today, I've got an Anything But a Card project to show you for my post at PaperWorks Company.

It's a candy holder and bookmark all rolled into one! I saw Ashley's project and wanted to 'taglift' (is that the right word?) and make my own version. Isn't it cute? It's so easy to make too! Thanks, Ashley!

In the back of my mind, I worry about how the card-making and scrapping industries are affecting our trees, our Mother Earth. I always think to myself that most people will value their cards, their scrapbooks, and that my friends will not throw away my creations. But who are we kidding? Some do get trashed.

But there's a light that begins to flicker in that corner of my mind when I see people upcycling or making two-in-one gifts like these. I hope our loved ones continue to cherish our momentos, our memories, and our hard work. And that the tree that once was has reincarnated into beautiful patterned paper that we all will always treasure.

Okay, enough corniness already!!!! Buwahahaha!

Supplies:
Stamp- PWCO's Safari Friends- Zoie the Zebra.
CS- American Craft, Neenah.
PP- Authentique.
Misc- Ribbon, Tim Holtz mini attacher, Martha Stewart punch, Candy, Button, Twine, Copics.

toot-a-loo!

ABAC Jungle Tray

IMG_2265

Good Sunday morning, everyone!!

It's my turn at PaperWorks Company's Anything But A Card Sundays. Today, I decorated this tray from Maya Road with Safari Friends.

I've got a couple of nieces and nephews whose birthdays are coming up and also some friends who are expecting babies. I'm not sure who this will be for yet but it could be used as a trinket holder or a hanging wall decoration. I left the top middle part blank for personalization with a sentiment or picture.

I kept the embellishments to a minimal (actually none). Just used the colorful papers and animals!

For the sentiment, I plan to use tiny letter stickers from My Little Shoebox. I may take a pic of the finished product and show it at a later time.

Hope you all are having a great weekend so far! And for those in the U.S., Happy Labor Day!

Supplies:
Stamps- PWCO's Safari friends (all four) and Jungle Jester (Timothy the Tiger)
Tray- Maya Road
PP- Echo Park (from PWCO's June monthly PaperCard kit)
Misc- Copics. Memento ink.

And don't forget to come back here tomorrow for:



It's BFF-ers, Jo's birthday blog hop and she'll be offering some blog candy...and so will I! Hint: one of them is a very popular item and keeps selling out at my local scrapbooking store!!

Toodles,
