DAR - End of Year - New Officers Installed

I was a great day for our General Daniel Newnan Chapter of DAR.  Our New State of Georgia Regent, Joyce Ball Patton, was on hand to install our new Chapter Officers.

We will all miss our current Regent Kayla King Hudson.  Such and wonderful, kind, and lovely soul.  She is moving away from our area, but will never leave our hearts.

Grown UP Coloring Books - What FUN!

I have ordered my GrownUP coloring book for my birthday.  I wanted to try one that I could use with watercolors and not just pencils and markers.

My buddy over on the Mind of Watercolor channel of YouTube demonstrates how to use the books with watercolors.

The book is here: Secret Garden

And Steve's video is here:




I will post some finished in 2016.

Remake of Is it a Bag or Box?

So there are many tutorials out there for making treat bags.  I really love this one from Creatin' with Kirsteen.  However, it did not work for me.  I could never get the paper wrapped around straight.  It was all wrinkly.  I decided to recreate this look with my own method.

Kirsteen's Video is at the bottom of this post.

Here is a tutorial video of my Bag or Box?




Here are some finished BOBs

Re-Post February 2013 Stampin Divas

So the continuing saga of the Lost Blog.
Another lost post from February 2013.

We made three cards in February 2013.  The theme was all about quilting.

Treat boxes from Paper Pumpkin and Box or Bag

I found this video from Kimberley Morris where she shows how to make boxes and gift bags from the November 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love it when my fellow demonstrators find alternative creations from paper pumpkin kits.

You can view Kimberley's video here on YouTube: 

You could make the box slightly bigger by scoring 1" and then 2-1/4", of course it would then be too shallow for that candy she used.  It would of course hold 2 of my pralines.

I also found this great Video from Kirsteen on making a Bag O Box. What is it? A Bag or Box.
