Hello! I'm up on the DCWV Blog today showing this cute gift bag I made for a friend who definitely deserves the time and extra effort. We've been friends for 13 years! gasp!

You can find these super size stacks at Joann stores.  I love them because they're double sided and the patterns and solids coordinate so beautifully.

Hello! I can't believe it's already September!  that means my baby turns 1 this month. oh my God where did the time go? so I'm using the pink foil stationery and the silver and white box of cards to create birthday invites. I use the front of the silver foil stationery but had to back it up onto silver and white card because the stamp I wanted to use on the inside was longer than the pink foil card. I cut the greeting out of black DCWV cardstock using my scan N cut. then I ran it through the Xyron sticker maker. I cut the one out of DCWV shimmer cardstock and backed it with DCWV silver glitter paper. Hope I've inspired you to play with your crafty supplies today!
