More fun projects

I am really enjoying the fall colors of blues and oranges in the November CMD kit. I needed a little gift bag this weekend for a friend and pulled out my November CMD kit and Papertrey Ink template. This template is called Around Town Tote. It's a great sized bag, not too small. I filled this one with lotions and bath gels from Bath and Body.


I made a paper ruffle with some patterned paper and a fabric flower using some fabric from the kit. I also made a matching thank you card using the rubons in the kit. Cute owl!



I also made this thank you card using the little chipboard houses in the kit. I can't enough of those little guys!!




Hope you all had a great weekend!! Ours was really busy but the weather was gorgeous. Perfect for 2 soccer games on Saturday!! I hope you had time to be creative this weekend. I'm starting to think about the holidays and what I want to start making. I have some new stamp sets that need breaking in, hope to find some time this week! Thanks for stopping by!
