| I used some doubled sided glitter pattern paper and a old (2007) Stampin Up stamp. |
 |
| The "thanks" is a die cut. |
 |
| The gift card is attached to the "Thanks" insert which pulls out of the pocket. |
 |
| I've had these embellishment for a long time. Not sure where they even came from. The fruit and turtles are so cute. |
 |
| The belly band slides off and you open the box. I put a gift card to show the size of the box. I hadn't bought the gum when I took the picture...(smiling) |
 |
| Here is the Jeopardy board I made |
 |
| Here is the basil box kit. We tied ribbon around the boxes and added the tag. (Sorry about the pictures! They were taken in my craft room) |
 |
| I made these grab bags to sell miscellaneous items for a $1.00 Do you see the eye balls? I think they came out really cute. |
 |
| I used Memory Box "Delicate Butterfly Arch" with Heartfelt butterfly dies. |
 |
| I added glitter behind the arch to make it really sparkle. |
 |
| Inside the card. |
 |
| I folded 65 one dollars bills. This wreath had $40.00 on it. I used flower pins to attach the money to the styrofoam wreath and added flowers and ribbon. |
 |
| The second wreath had $25.00 on it. |
 |
| At the last minute our chapter was asked to make the invites for next years State Conference. The theme for next year is TOPS is FAN-TASTIC. I decided to make fans. I printed out the invites on colored card stock and used a die cut to cut them out. Some of the ladies helped glue them onto the Popsicles sticks. |
 |
| When the ladies completed their weekly challenges they were allowed to pluck a turkey feather and write their name on it. If you gained weight you had to pay your weight in pennies. Three names were drawn from the plucked feathers. They really enjoyed it. |
 |
| I painted a Styrofoam ball and used die cuts to make the feathers and the face of the turkey. |
 |
| This is the first one I made. I got the instructions off- mychicnscratch.com |
 |
| Inside |
 |
| These are the ones I made for my TOPS group. The theme was "Pirates" I bought Hats, Patches, Mustaches, and treasure boxes for the installation. |
 |
| Inside the gift card holders. |
 |
| Here we are in our pirate gear. |
 |
| I made six cards using a 12 X 12 single sheet of pattern paper. |
 |
| The cards had to be mailable without additonal postage so I chose a 3-D pattern paper. |
 |
| I added lace and pearls to some of the cards. |
 |
| Here is a close up of the paper. The card on the right has no ribbon or pearls added to it. I added lace and pearls to the card on the left. |
 |
| I decorated bags and made a ship's wheel. |
 |
| Using Die cuts, I made embellishments for 16 bags. |
 |
| I just love the little flip flops. |
 |
| We have six officers so I made six extra special bags for each one of them. |
 |
| Here is what the embellishments looked like before I put them together. Thanks to my neighbor Heather, she let me borrow all her dies. |
 |
| All done and ready to be glued down. I popped in a movie and before I knew they were all done! |
 |
| Each of the officers receives something to represent their position as an officer. The Leader gets the wheel, Co-leader receives a lifesaver, Treasurer buoy, Secretary clipboard and the Weight recorder an anchor and whistle. I found all the items above at the Dollar store except the ships wheel. |
 |
| My creative crafting was tested with this idea for a wheel. I came across this round piece of white styrofoam at the Goodwell. The light bulb went off and I knew what I was going to do. First I painted it all brown. Using a key ring, I ran twine around foam and through the key chain creating the ship's wheel. |
 |
| I was really happy the way it came out. I could have bought one on-line but for .99¢ how could I go wrong...hee hee |
