Mischief Pillow Box

Ever have an odd shaped item that needs to be wrapped for a gift?  Or maybe you just want a creative way to present your gift...  This super cute pillow box was created using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge from Close To My Heart.  I used the Mischief My Reflections paper pack to cut out the pillow box shape to my desired size.  Then I simply folded and adhered to create the pillow box.   For the tags, I selected a few labels from the Mischief paper and cut them out.  The final touch was the organdy ribbon from the Colonial White Ribbon Collection.  The pillow box can be made cut at many different sizes and makes a great presentation for a gift card or a few small treats!

Happy Halloween!!

Cards & More October Playgroup

I created this 8" x 3 1/2" Mischief card for my monthly Cards & More playgroup. Today we created a fun banner to decorate our homes for the upcoming holidays as well as the cute Halloween card above. We get together once a month and create cards or a fun paper project, thus the name for the playgroup is Cards & More. We started about three years ago with an original group of three ladies (miss you Pam!) and have continued to grow.  I truly enjoy hanging out with them! We have a great time catching up each month while enjoying a relaxing Sunday afternoon.  Here are a few shots from today, everyone hard at work on their projects!

Here is my completed "Spooky" banner displayed in my family room (this is on the entertainment center above the TV):

If you live in the Central Florida area and would like to join our playgroup- just let me know.  The Workshop on the Go kit each month starts at $29.95 and you can create the scrapbook layouts and/or  the paper craft projects available each month.  You can also gather your friends and start your own playgroup- my house or yours....  contact me and I will give you the details to get started.  If you do not live in the area, remember that all projects are available for you to create, even if you are long distance or just unable to attend!  I will provide a cutting guide and directions.

This is a perfect time to start creating Christmas cards and other fun holiday projects.  Contact me to join in the fun!
