Today, As I was playing around with the smallest pieces of scrap DP in my "Studio" (aka: the closet), it dawned on me that I needed to "Talk Stash"........ So here it is.
I pulled out all the stops on these..... Started out creating the fun little treat box (have I told ya'll how much I love to create treat boxes?) Forgive me if someone else has beat me to this fantabulous idea, but I find it very intriguing to create my boxes using die cuts. For Today, I was experimenting with the large Stampin Up label. (I think I should do a tutorial on this process later)....
Once again, I have reached for the My Cute Stamps "Royal Celebration" from ABC Toys & Crafts.. This little castle just screams to be paper pieced and that is where I really used little pieces of "Trash"!!! Just look at the way that little fantasy house is constructed. The pillars and mid section are mounted up on foam squares, Windows and doors were given a little shadow with Copics. I then decided to add some glossy accents to the windows.... OOOOOOO AAAAAAA, Can you even imagine how small the piece of scrap was for that little flag??
The Tags were cut using the Cricut and the only cartridge that my cheap rear owns!, I stamped the tag, the handle & the sides of my box using some of the smaller stamps included in this set. The handle was a strip of CS that I stamped then used a border punch down both sides and glued in place.
Since we are talkin' "SCRAP", check out the Birthday card that I threw together for my hubbie.
As of today, he has been gone one week. He is in Afghanistan with his team of guys. I was putting together a "BIRTHDAY PARTY IN A BOX" and really wanted to add Party hats along with the "My Little Pony" party supplies but there just wasn't room!! Darn the luck... So this card was completely created using scraps that were lying about, yes even the base!!!
I've arranged with a couple guys on his detachment to intercept this package and set up his Party ahead of time and then Suprise him. His party is complete with microwavable cakes, candles that play music, Gatorade packets, coffee, tablecloth, napkins, chips, & what party would be complete without FAVORS?? The guys will look so cute playing with their bright colored parachute dudes and paddle balls........

Your gift bag is so cute, as the card. My girls would love that castle. I hope you're cool there because it's SO hot here. I'm missing Croatia and can't wait to get back to "real" life there in just 2 weeks.
I have bought a new computer. All of my existing ITune songs/library etc are on my partners computer at a different location. When I plpug my Iphone into my computer to trabsfer all the data it wont allow me and I am worried that I will delete all existing songs on my IPhone. Is there an easy way to do this?
