Pebbles Layout- "So Many Smiles Begin With You"

As you can see, I've been using the "From Me To You" collection a lot lately.  I am so in love with this beautiful collection.  I love the colors, the soft delicate details, the chalkboard  elements, and the beautiful stickers and photo frames.

These butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.  Notice the cute little typewriter?  It's chipboard, and it one of my favorite embellishments from this collection.

These Thickers are "Kenzie" font, Gumball color.  They actually match better than the photo implies.

I love the chipboard embellishments.  This chalkboard frame and the flowers are both from the Chips pack of chipboard.

And these "LOVE" stickers are lovely.  Notice the photo frame overlay?  These come in a pack of various styles and sizes and make your photos pop.

Doodlebug Fall Wreath and Thankful Layout

This wreath should appear sometime on the Doodlebug Blog, but for now, I thought I'd show you since we're leaving the fall season and entering winter.

The wreath was done by cutting various shaped and sized leaves from my Silhouette Cameo using Doodlebug's Happy Harvest collection.

The leaves were then scored with my Scor-Pal to make them more life-like

And then folded to create dimension

I used grapevine to make the wreath base.  You can either make the wreath this way, by wrapping it in a circle and then tying it with craft (floral) wire, 

Or they do make grapevine wreaths already done for you.  I just had grapevine on hand already so that's what I used.  It's a bit difficult to work with and makes a huge mess, so do it outside.

The leaves were all adhered using a glue gun.

And the banner was also cut with the Cameo.  The font is Times New Roman.

I also made this layout for the blog, and since yesterday was Thanksgiving, I wanted to thank you all for being such great supporters of my blog and my work.  I love having great comments and emails from readers.

Thank you!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends!

I'm so thankful for all of you!

Pebbles "From Me To You" Cards (Edited)

These cards were made using the "From Me To You" collection from Pebbles.  Two of the cards include the gorgeous gold rub-on sentiments.  

Can you see the gorgeous shine?

This card was made with the polaroids from a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock, as well as some stickers and page pebbles, and a little bit of American Crafts cardstock.

And this card once again uses the gold rub-ons, some chipboard, American Crafts cardstock, and a doily cut from a Lifestyle Crafts die.

Pebbles Halloween Treat Bags + Candy Corn Caramel Popcorn Recipe!

One of my October projects for Pebbles were these cute treat bags.  I was going to "Witches Only" party, with a treat swap, and a papercrafter like me can't go to a party like that without making my treats adorable.

Adorable, right?

The toppers were made by hand cutting the white banners, and then the rest was done with Stampin' Up! punches.  I embossed the orange circles with a spiderweb Cuttlebug embossing folder and my Big Shot, and then adhered it all together with dimensional foam adhesive.

The toppers were attached to the treat bags by punching a tiny hole with my mini hole punch (Martha Stewart) and then I tied them on with Doodlebug Doodle-Twine

And what's inside you ask?

Candy Corn Caramel Popcorn!

Candy Corn Caramel Popcorn:

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 cube margarine

1 cup corn syrup

1 cup brown sugar

1 large bag candy corn

Cook all ingredients except candy corn over medium heat until at the soft ball stage, or until you can drop a little in a cup of cold water and the candy will set up and feel soft.

Pour over a large full bowl of popcorn (1/2 cup kernels, air popped)

Stir in candy corn as desired.

Enjoy!
