DIY Goodie Bags

Well tonight, I was looking through pinterest and I saw this goodie bag where you emboss them. Very cute. However, I only had lunch sized bags and it wasn't working with my sizzix. So I decided I would improvise. I already had everything out. Well, here's my little photo tutorial on it all..... I hope you like and I'm sure you'll come up with your own style and twist as well.....

First I got out my embossing folders....

Then I got together my paper bags.... 

Then I folded the bottom flap down so they touched eachother so I can cut JUST the bottoms.... 

This is how I cut.... 

So then I am left with this to cut off....

So Now I have two.... 

So now we are going to take one of them..... 

Now choose your tape.... 

And now just tape the bottom of your bag... 

Then fold it up to the other side.... 

Then trim the edges.... 

Then I took my scalloped punch for detail... 

So it now looks like this... 

I then place this in my embossing folder.... 

Then I put it in my Sizzix... and now I have this.... 

Like I said, I'm sure you'll be able to put your own twist on this also and I hope you do! 

Hope you are having a great weekend! And Happy Mother's Day to you Mommies of ALL ages!!!!

Mother's Day Printables

Mother's Day is just around the corner! Are you ready? If not, here are a few ideas.... 

How about some free printable art? This poster measure 8 inches by 10 inches. The only thing you have to do is print and frame... And a little idea, underneath where it says "I Love You" you can sign your name to personalize it in your own handwriting and make it special.... 

How about another one?! 

And I made it in a few other colors for you as well!!!

teal/aqua blue... Pink.... and then Mint Chip :) 

How about a free printable gift box for your little goodies? 

They are to designed to be printed out on

an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of cardstock...

How about a few different colors of the little gift box too?! 

And in case you missed it, I had a free printable Mother's Day Card here... 

Daughter's 10th Birthday And FREE Mother's Day Printable Card!!

Well, my daughter's birthday was Tuesday... We had it fall on Mother's Day one year which was really cool... It didn't this year, but it did fall on "Kid's Night" at their FAVORITE buffet place... Notice the balloon crown :D (my son got a sword, I don't want him to read this and see I forgot him! LOL) ---

This is my daughter... Notice her sweatshirt? Yes, another "you're so smart Mom!" moment.... Apparently her dress that she picked out for her special day was too cute to wear a coat or a sweatshirt until we got there and realized she was freezing.... Thank goodness Mom's always cold and has an extra sweatshirt in the truck at all times! haha!

And that's my day... We ended up doing a little shopping too!!!!! 

And now we are onto Mother's Day... It's coming.... I hope I scored some brownie points with her birthday! HAHA... Kids asked me what I want for Mother's Day... I said "clean bedrooms." They asked if they could make me breakfast instead, lol... Mind you, their rooms aren't bad at all, I'm just picky :D 

Here's a free printable Mother's Day Card for you to print and use! 

**Hint**

Print two out, then cut out a few of the details and use pop dots to give your card a dimensional feel.

You can also add flowers, a little stickles and more to give it a little flair!
