Halloween Cat Iris Fold card and more...

...doodads for the Christmas paper bag book to share. Yippee....the book is done (well except for a few personal items I'll be adding for the recipient once I know who it is!). I am very happy to have that checked off my list!! :)

I stamped a bunch of images in coordinating colors and popped them into little bags. They will go in the 'pockets' of the bags.

For the actual bag sections I made the mini composition book shared previously and I found the cutest tiny bag of mini jingle bells. My third addition is a microscope slide I made with blue glass glitter.

I also had to make a card for a monthly lottery with the theme cats. So, I had this Iris Fold pattern I hadn't tried out yet, so I thought it was the perfect time. After I finished the cat I masked him off and used my Versamark pen to draw in the moon. I then covered the moon with interference gold Pearl Ex and outlined it with a Clear Glaze Pen. The background was water colored with my Peerless Water Colors. The fence is a Sizzix die cut from wood grained paper.

The custom envie is scrapbook paper and a clear sticker.

Just sharing what I did with my Sunday!!

Christmas Paper Bag Book

Here's is the nearly finished Christmas Paper Bag ART Book I have been working on for one of my Yahoo groups. I still have the goodies for the insides to do....but wanted them to be a surprise for the recipient. :::smiles::: The only criteria we had was to make it Christmas themed. I flipped through my stash of Christmas scrapbook papers looking for a set with a theme. When I found the "Jingle Bells" background words paper set, I knew I had found my theme. It is not traditional colors, which I enjoy. All of the circle, star, snowflake embellishments were hand made by me. I printed out the lyrics to Jingle Bells which run throughout the book. I put it together using my bind-it-all and tied the spine with ribbons. Anywho....here it is!! :) Click on the pics to see the details!!

Back cover. The "JOY" is a pocket that will be filled with a goodie.

This is a coordinating mini composition book that goes in one of the bags. It measures 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches.
