Stamps R Us Challenge

I am a member of the Stamps R Us blog group and this was my month to host the challenge. The challenge this month is to create anything but a card! It can be a scrapbook page, altered item, bag or basket, sewing project...........just whatever............as long as it's not a card. Anyone can play and anyone can WIN, WIN, WIN!!!!! So come on over to the Stamps R Us Challenge Blog and play along.

I used a tutorial on You Tube to find out how to make the little bag I have here. I think it was listed as a 12 X 12 box from Chickn' Scratch. These are super simple to make and will actually hold quite alot of items or a cute gift. I have also covered an "adult" composition book and a "baby" composition book. This was a "FIRST" for me as I've never attempted anything like this. I think it came out ok though. I like the "adult" one better I think. The "baby" one is pretty plain. The papers I used were from a Martha Stewart paper pad. The "Journal" letters are chipboard that I covered with some of the patterned paper. I also added one of the little puffy flowers at the top.

Go check out the Stamps R Us Challenge blog and enter your project today. You have until the end of the month to enter but you may want to do it now so you don't forget!! Be sure and sign up as a follower too. We'd love to have you.

Thanks for stopping by.....................

The Beginning..................

Well, I finally took the plunge - and created a Blog......I hope you enjoy some of the things I will be showing you. I'm going to ATTEMPT to post at least several times a week. We'll see how that goes though.
Enjoy!

The first project I'm showing you is a gift bag and card that I created for the I {heart} Papers Birthday Bash. I used SU Baja Breeze cardstock, Parisian Breeze DP. and Baja Breeze ribbon. The stamp sets used are Eastern Blooms and Oval All from SU.
