Tags for Fundraising Baskets

Hi there,

I have been working hard at balancing all things in my life these days, my little crafting business, working full time, being a mom to 3 very busy boys and fitting in some quality time with my dear hubby, so my blog has been a little bit scattered.  

But I do have a fun project to share with you today...a project that I made a while ago for one of son's hockey team fundraisers.  

The fundraiser was a raffle for 3 different baskets and each basket had a theme.  (Theme's make things so much fun!)  The themes were 'Boys Club', 'Girl's Night Out' and 'Coffee and Things'. So each of the baskets were filled with beverages and accessories to match each theme.  All parents pitched in and sold tickets for the baskets and then there was a draw for each one.  

BUT...what is a basket without a tag that can illustrate the theme?  So, I offered to help and make a tag for each of the baskets.  Here are my tags.....

I used some of my favourite ribbons and retired framelits to help capture the themes.  I found some fun and free fonts online to create the basket name and framed each with the Deco Framelits.  I used my Banner Framelits to create the background with the colour of the basket and some vellum.  Here is the  tag for first basket - girls night out!  It had some yummy girly drinks.

The second basket is for the coffee cognisor.  Oh so cute!

The final tag is for the Boys Club basket - lots of drinks inside for the men!

So which one of my little babies were these for?

My oldest.  (Brace yourself, proud mama moment ahead.)  Here is he is doing what he LOVES......

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween with Roger's Daytime TV

Happy Halloween everyone!

Today is a very exciting day at our house.  The pumpkins are getting carved and the candy put into bowls and the costumes are all ready to go! 

To help with the spirit of Halloween, I have pictures of the projects I made for my latest segment of Roger's Daytime TV.  As always, I have SO much fun participating in these segments and promoting Stampin'UP! to our local viewers.

My first picture is of three different treat holders using the Fry Box Die.

 

I created lots of different square pillow boxes using our new Square Pillow Box Framelits die. I decorated them using a variety of different stamps.  Here are some with Sweet Hauntings 'tombstones' as well as Howl-o-ween Treat stampset with coordinating Boo to You Framelits. 

My Season to Season Wreath Project Kit done up with the Halloween favours and ribbon.

 

Another Square Pillow Box die using a window sheet - I must admit it was a little tricky, but it sure looked cute!

 

This Pillow Box is my favourite - vellum!  You can just barely see the candy corn treats inside.  The stamps are from Sparkly Seasons, the witches hat is from the Boo to You Framelits and 'spooky' is from Seasonal Frame Thinlits Dies that coordinates with the Sparkly Seasons stampset.

 

A few more pillow boxes...

My final treat holder is a CASE from my stampin' idol, Erica Cerwin.  She is a genius!  Here is a link to her video creating this little guy.  

 

And finally a little Halloween card.

 

I hope this helps get you into the Halloween spirit.  

Happy Stampin'
