Great Decor Using Paper

I love office supplies!  I mean all kinds of things like post-its, paper clips, colored pens, pencils, notebooks, etc.  With that, I took my giant clothes pins (used for decoration) and added a little something special.  I took some scraps I had left over from my latest scrapbooking project along with some brads, ribbon, straight pins, and adhesive...and here you have it!


I feel so accomplished when I create fun projects like this one and with using all my left-overs...no waste!  Even my kitty Joker agrees as he made himself at home right on my scrapping table.


Stay tuned as I bring you more information about what great things the new Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book from Close To My Heart.  Contact me if you would like your own copy!  Danielle Valentino

Paper Rosettes

Happy Saturday!  My daughter's 11th birthday is coming up and we will be having a family get together to celebrate.  I thought I would take this rainy day to create some fun stuff for the party.  Here is a peek at the paper rosettes I made that will be attached to the favor bags.


These are super easy to create.  Just take 1"x12" strips of patterned paper, score every 1/4" and acordian fold.   Attach the two ends and push down the center.  I use a hot glue gun to assure a strong hold.  Here is a pic of the rosettes attached to the favor bags.




These favor bags.boxes were created using my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge exclusive to Close To My Heart.  This is one of the many reasons I am looking forward to the new Artiste cartridge that Close To My Heart just introduced.  So many neat things you can do with it.  So for all you Pinterest fans, stop pinning and start creating!!!!  Pre-order your cartridge today!!!  Just ask me how.........send me an email!
