DT: Gift Tags/Bookmarks for the teachers

Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

I made some gift tags for the chocolates, I gifted to my kids teachers and wanted to share them with you:

These gift tags are very sturdy and could be use as bookmarks too. I used "Thanks" sentiment stamp from Sizzix, its complimenting circle die, and some religious sentiments dies and doilies from BoBunny for the  bookmark. I also used some Clear Scraps acrylic angel shapes, I had previously alcohol inked for some of the tags/ bookmarks, and decorated them similarly to the circle tags. For some of the tags, I also used shipboard stickers from BoBunny (see the "dream big" tag).

I used my CutNBoss for cutting out the circle tags, sentiments and dollies. I also used some leftover gold foiled printed papers and gold cardstock to cut out the circle tags, the doilies and the sentiments.

Here you can see the angel tags in better detail:

I hope you enjoyed these super easy to make tags/bookmarks.

Connie Can Crop- DT: Grapevine Layout

Dear scrappers, 
This is my post for Connie Can Crop.  I made this layout for a fall break trip we took 3 years ago (speaking of procrastinating...):

My supplies:

closer look at the left side:

To the right side:

some closeups:

I used this paper from BoBunny because it accents the pumpkins in the pictures, I took in our fall trip to Grapevine, TX 3 years ago. I made this layout during my trip to Boston, I'm so behind my scrapbooking LOL...

I made this layout at the inside courtyard of the Boston Central Library:

The weather was fabulous and believe me the looks I received for crafting in public were amazingly funny, you know, she must be crazy kind of looks... But i had fun and met my deadline at Connie's blog.

BTW, I used some cabochons from Connie's Crafty Cart:
