This is one of the items I am making for my craft fair also they are called Genie Bags . WHY are they called this ? I have no idea but they are sure cute.. I have no measurements to share since I used different sized bags just measure out your paper bag the width and the length then add an extra 1/4 "-1 " more when cutting your CS especially in the length with the handle and all ..I used the word window punch for the handle punch once then move slightly over and punch again .. since its so hard to punch through both pieces of card stock I punched out one 1st then used that as my template for the backside piece .. I used The snowflake spot for this genie bag along with lots of dazzling diamonds , and I also used the tag punch for the mini tag for my genie bag stamped snowflake on vanilla CS in Bravo burgandy and then fliped over tag punch and then I folded a piece of bravo B cs so that I could punch out the mini tag/ book lined up the punch so that there is a connection so the tag is more like a mini book I used the Left side as my binding for my mini tag ( slide punch , looking from the back side I slid the punch in and left the one side of the punch outside the line where the score line is this will keep the tag as a book..( so basically your not even punching the left side of scored line of the cs HTH ) I then added retired burgandy wide ogandy ribbon . I am Only making about 10 of these not to sure If I will add something inside or not yet ? and then the question would be What to add ?
Today I am taking my mom in for her eye lens to be measured for her cataract surgery thats approaching .. she needs both eyes done but will do only one at a time ( by doc request ) I am so proud of her to be doing this .. she is really over due to have it done especially in her right eye so that will be the 1st one done then in Dec she will have 2nd one done Right before we head to TN for Christmas so after I return from the doc today with my mom I plan to get busy making goodies and also getting ready for my stampers club on Friday ..
I have decided to use those Santa wrappers from yesterdays post as one of the M&Ts this Friday instead of having a Christmas stamp camp this year .. Hey Stampin Queens :Those Large candy bars were on sale at CVS a few days ago BUT I guess they are no longer on sale for .99 cents .. Harriet said they are back to reg price .. But still check your local dollar store I have seen them there also .. May not be a great selection, But the Santas make up for that I suppose .
Until later ... Happy Stampin!




























..
that vist my blog on a daily basis .. you make blogging so Much more fun .. Just knowing your out there looking and " maybe" getting inspiration . I didnt post today as you all could tell, Thats because I wanted to keep this give-a-way Post at the top so I skipped a blogging day
BUT no worries I will be back early tommorrow morning.. and Boy do I have lots to share ..I have been ONE stampin Fool today making goodies for my craft fair so stay tuned ..



























Thanks for peeking in on my blog today ..












HUH? ... Yup this card is simular to the Frogie card I made awhile ago with my Great 70% off stamp ( remember? ) BUT different because, look at the saying .This is one of many cards for my swaps at regionals on this Saturday( 2 days away ..I can hardly stand the excitement ) .. How funny huh? Very easy to do I used the saying from "Birthday Best" set and for the saying I just omitted the "A" and then hand wrote the" O " in place of the "A" myself after I stamped the saying ... OMITTING:






to start off the week we have a Church state meeting tonight in Fenton Mi and then we are also celebrating Bro Dills retirement ( Note to self I have to make a cute card today ) .. I have a RA doc appt. today and I must not forget to get daughter to Chiro. today she has been going 2 days a week lately and it seems to help .. anyway continueing on.... I have a workshop this Thursday, Friday I have a scrapbook camp( which I still need to prepare for both of these events TODAY!) and Saturday is Regionals and then in the middle of all this they say on the news this morning SNOW is heading this way from Canada OH NO Its way to early ..It doesnt even feel like we had Fall/ Autumn season yet must have skipped ove that withoutme looking .. and not only that But we need to still winterize the boat, & our pool and also get a hot tub cover .( remember that issue a few days ago ??) tooo much to do before the snow hits Thursday .. Maybe it will pass over Us .** Dawns crossing her fingers **




YUP Oct 7th is a Fabulous day NOT only is it my 3 yr anniversary for being a demo with Stampin'Up! But that it is special holiday also .. Its the 1st annual National card making Day
check it out here
.. he wanted to fix our hot tub cover
( since the one on there was like a HUGE-O Sponge-O) seems over the years the cover/lid had been obsorbing the moisture and just being out in the weather its taken a beating .. well to make a long story short he didnt fix it so Now we are on a mission to purchase a new cover .. any ideas where to get one very inexpensive ?? please share we are seeing them for around 400.00
..JK
and I have learned so Much I highly recommend this book to everyone .. 

the way they turned out especailly since I find this typically hard for me to do .."make NO layer " cards anywho.. I used the Snowflake stamp set and stamping image in Bashful blue and then took my Brilliant blue dauber and daubed this color on top of the bashful blue .. just radom on the image I dont think this may show up in the photo very good today .. I then added glitter
and then of course to the snowflake also .. ( ya know since this card says "Sparkle " we needed to add some right ? 
since watching the whole season 1 & 2 on DVD ) I guess I have become spoiled .. anywho I am still wondering whats Henry/Ben story man he looks so evil
. and what was up with the 1st 4 or so minutes of sign on ..The "OTHERS" have a whole little town set up in the middle of NO where on the island I swear I thought it was a flash back thats how great the town was they have a Book Club social club going on , fixing the pluming on a house , just your everyday small town adventures Just this town happens to be in the mibble of no where
. and I have to make more cookies today ( or Friday depending on how long I will be at the church today could be a all day affair ) for Daughter for Saturdays car wash fundraiser ..

.. I also tied all the colors of my card together with the top bow .. I hardly use organdy ribbon But this card seemed to want it so I then added my GG snips to the final slip of the knot . and lets not forget the doodles .. Hee! Hee! I used the rough around the edges for the background on the lovely lilac & only orange attached a eyelet to each end of the slider and then added linen thread.. to keep the slider going stright I added 2 dimensionals on the back side of Frankie to keep it lined up ..But not to close so It could still slide smoothly if you KWIM ?


from my cell phone anyway ..
sample and I was just wingin it 
... But the more it sat there staring at me the more it grew on me .. sooo I took a picture of it and here it is .. This card I dry embossed on whisper white But instead of using the puffy side for my card I turned it around and used the concaved side ( so I guess you could maybe call this reverse dry embossing )
) I remember when I got home from Convention a couple years ago 2005 Salt Lake Ciyt UT.. was gone for a week well I came home to a new bedroom closet remodel and also the wash room redone with new shelfs .. Not to much he can do in 1 day when I am off to regionals in a few weeks right ? anyway he measured our daughter and here all along I have been telling everyone she is 5'9 well I stand corrected she is 5' 11.5" OH MY she is growing like a weed everyone
. I am for sure the shortie in my family now ..


this size ,perfect for many images ) and then punched out my snowflurries with the 1/2 circle punch and used a dimensional I really enjoy
