My Pink Stamper Challenge - Monkey Treat Bags

Robyn over at My Pink Stamper is having a challenge to create something to give to someone else. I'm the Children's Pastor at my church and have been wanting to have some goodie bags to give to guests in our classes. We have several age groups, so I started with something for the younger boys. I'm going to make more styles...but here's what I have so far. These are bag toppers. The bags will be filled with candy and little toys.

Scripture Card

I love Verve Stamps! They have the most beautiful scripture stamps (and other kinds as well). I made this card for a lady at church that's battling cancer. And...gasp...I didn't even use my Cricut! That's unheard of in my house. =) I used the stamp from Verve and some K&Company paper that I have been holding onto forever because I love it so much. Kinda pitiful to buy all this pretty paper and then not want to use it, isn't it?

Blessings,

Frank!

I love to check out other people's blogs. It helps fuel my creativity and gives me great ideas. I saw the cutest Frankenstein card from punch art the other day and wondered if I could re-create it with my cricut. Here's my take on it. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and Storybook. The sentiment is handwritten as I don't have any Halloween stamps. I'm not sure where I saw this so I apologize for not being able to acknowledge my inspiration.

Thanksgiving Challenge

This week I decided to try out my first challenge. One of the blogs I frequent, Cricut Cardz Challenge #45, has a challenge this week to make a Thanksgiving card. I don't have a turkey (or anything really thanksgiving-ish) on any of my cartridges. So, I got to play with my Gypsy...yippee! I am not in love with this card but decided to submit it anyway. It's missing something but I'm on a deadline so I'll just have to leave it as is.

Pumpkin Favors

Here are some little pumpkins I made as favors for our women's group at church. Our theme for the October meeting is pumpkins and scarecrows. I wanted to give everyone something festive for fall. They're quite simple but I like 'em!

Ghost Card

My co-worker asked me to make her some Halloween cards. Here's the first one I made. I created the ghost using my new favorite thing, my Gypsy. I welded some tags from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and added the smile and eyes from Plantin Schoolbook. The BOO letters are from Sesame Street Font. The actual card is green and the orange you see is the envelope.

Blessings,

Birthday Card

I made this for a lady at church. I saw this layout sketch somewhere and loved it, so I thought I'd try it. I love the pink and green together. You can't see very well in the pic, but the Happy Birthday is stamped and embossed with lovely pink embossing powder. I cut the flower from Serenade Solutions cart.

Blessings.
