All Day Baking For You!! Not!!

Today I combined three of my favorite companies Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons, Jaded Blossom and Peachy Keen to make my entry in the Christmas Challenge over at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.

I started by cutting out the Oval Window Treat Bag in some festive cardstock. It is easy to assemble and can be used for any number of different projects. I added some Chips Ahoy Holiday edition cookies to mine.

Next I cut one of the Elves from the Silly Little Elf Girl file from PPPR. I omitted a few cuts so I could stamp her face with the Peachy Keen In The Garden Face assortment and to replace the stars on her skirt with some star rhinestones.

I embossed the candy cane in red from the Jaded Blossom Freshly Baked for her ornament.

The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom's Baked with Love stamp set and is embossed on the baking tray from the Jaded Blossom Baking Dies.

I love how this turned out! There are so many possibilities that I could spend everyday for the next 10 years and still never get all the projects I would like to do... but I can try :)

Fall Straws

Well I'm finally done rearranging my craft area, took awhile but was totally worth it. I'm very pleased with the way it looks now. Today I wanted to share the cute straws I made for the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Fall Challenge. I adore Lisa's cutting files, they are so fun to create with.

Last week I was in Target and found these Fall paper straws in the clearance and of course I brought them home and hung them on the peg board of crafty finds :) 

I used two of the Friday Freebies to make my straws... ( LOVE the Friday Freebies!! ) I cut all three leaves from the Leafy Faces file and made a shadow layer for each. Then using Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick and Peeled Paint inked all the edges of the leaves.

Finally I added faces from Peachy Keen's In The Garden and Cornies Faces Assortments.

Then I needed something to hold all my cute Fall straws. I cut out the Pilgrim Hat Treat Bag omitting the handle...perfect for my straws.

Happy Thanksgiving to our neighbors in the USA in the coming days. Hope everyone if having a great afternoon and has found some time to craft. Make sure to link your project to the Fall themed challenge at PPPR.
