How adorable are these Halloween favor bags??
I would love to hand out something similar at a Halloween party!

In honor of me (wishing) to make these bags -
here are the two products on my wishlist this Wednesday:

1. Drippy Goo Edge punch by Martha Stewart
2. Batty for You* by Stampin Up

*I can't seem to find the original stamp set used to make these online anywhere, but I bet the Stampin Up set would look just as cute!

Update - I just saw this post where the ladies at Craft Critique made the Favor Bags IRL... SO CUTE!!

Another Wedding Gift Card

I embellished another Bed, Bath and Beyond card for one of the Hubby's good friend's wive's bridal shower.  (Phew - that was a mouthful!)  Of course I forgot to take a picture of it BEFORE I wrote in in...so I apologize for the blurs, but I think it came out really cute! We just attended their wedding this past weekend and had a BLAST!! I also made her a pair of underwear with her new name, but I can't remember if I took a picture or not... hopefully I did, then I will post it!!

Happy Birthday - Go Bears!

Here's a Birthday Card I made for my Father-In-Law who also happens to be a huge Chicago Bears fan... so I decided to make the card in "Bears" colors!

Bachelorette Bash Gifts

With all of the weddings and showers I'ven been to this year... I've also been to a lot of bachelorette parties!  Coming up with cute gifts for the bachelorette is always easy :-)

Here are some undies I "bedazzled" for a friends.  Every bride can use a "Something Blue"!

Cute Birthday Present

My friend Jenn turned the big 3-0 this summer!  As a cute gift a made her a set of "J" stationary as seen above.  Then I wrapped them up in a cute plastic box.  It made a super cute & easy birthday present!

All of the backgrounds are embossed with Cuttlebug folders.  Its hard to see - but on the tag of the gift, the front is embossed to say "happy birthday!".

Vegas Baby!

Back in February... I traveled to Vegas for the bachelorette party of a friend. Of course I couldn't pass up an opportunity to use my new Cuttlebug!

I made buttons for all of the girls at the party to wear - with a special button for the bride!


Of course buttons weren't the only crafty fun... we had a blast decorating the room too.

The year of the weddings continued....

This weekend we attended the wedding of one of the hubby's oldest friends. Unfortunately, I had NO TIME to make a new wedding card - so I used an old standby that Stampin Mom had on hand!
