Sophomore layout

 Hello, hello!
I hope you've been enjoying some scrappy endeavors lately.
Today I'm sharing a back to school layout based on a sketch from Sketches In Thyme.

 The sketch had some really fun layering behind the photo and it worked so well for this photo.
I'm positive I will use this sketch again.
Check it out and play along for a chance to win!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hoco layout

Hello, hello!
I've got a fun layout to share with you today.

I based this layout on the challenge from Scrap Our Stash.

 I stuck with the basic layout of the sketch, used wood grain paper under my photo on the left and and owl sticker for the embellie.

Adding some hand doodling around the layout really helped finalize my layout. 

Thanks for swinging by!

XCountry treat Halloween style

Hello!

Making team treats is a lot of fun, but making them with AWESOME Halloween themes is totally up my alley. I showed you the box of fun items I got from Oriental Trading* last time, but here it is again to refresh your memory:

 

 This time I took those cute little orange treat boxes (they come in so many fun colors!) and made this for my son's Cross Country team:

I was making a lot so I did a sort of assembly line. But first I did a box in each stage and took a photo so you could really see what was going on and how simple this was. Which was good because there are a LOT of runners on a XC team! lol:

I've labeled each stage in the photo above for convenience.

1- This is how the boxes come with orange ribbon pre-cut.

2- I folded each box to open them up, added a bit of the fun Halloween washi tape and then trimmed the sides along the box's edge with my scissors. 

3- I used my computer to put a little label on the treats. It says "Freaky Fast Fuel"

4- I have this awesome skull & crossbones punch. You bet I put it to good use with the cool patterns from the Scrapbook Paper Halloween mix.

5- Add your treats and fold up the bottom of the box.

6- Push your ribbon thru the holes and tie it up anyway you want. I put a little slim jim in there for extra fuel for the runners.

This washi tape is so cool! I love that with these little pieces I was able to get so many different looks on each box. I couldn't decide if I liked the lit jack-o-lanterns in the tree or the bare tree w/ the bats better.

My son said the runners were all surprised and super excited to get the treats.

And here's my runner. This is his first year running. It's really cool to watch how much he improves each race. Especially since I am NOT a runner. lol

Hope you like my little treats.

Thanks for stopping in!

Softball Treats w/ Love my Tapes.

 Hello!

I have a fun Team Treat project to share with you today.

My daughter's softball season is in full swing and I like to help encourage them with little treats here and there. They were headed to take on a particularly tough team recently and I thought I would encourage them with this fun treat.

I cut the bats with my silhouette, added a bit of inking and the quote. Then taped the handle, just like a real bat, with Blue Stars washi tape from Love My Tapes!

I used the Tape Runner I received from the store because I'm always having trouble with the decorations popping off the treats with my normal glue.

I can't believe how well it worked!

My daughter took these on a 2 hour bus ride and when she gave me the extras the next day, the bat and ball were still stuck solidly to the bag!!

I can honestly say my last glue did not do that.

Here's a close up of the project for you:

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
