Treat Bags!

I've finally taken the time to snap a few pictures and get them uploaded! The craft show is fast-approaching, so I've been focused on being creative!
Hope you enjoy the pics! Comments & suggestions are welcome! (Also check out my new "The Jackson's" blog I'm slowly putting together!)


I started out by making treat bags out of paper bag lunch sacks. I thought they were cute until...


...I saw this style of bag on Ashley's blog & had to find some to get creative with! I love the windows, and the bags are lined, so you can fill them with cookies or munchies & you won't have to worry about greasy spots showing through!

Journals

A few weeks ago, my friend Darci gave me a tip that Target was selling composition notebooks for 12 cents a piece! Of course I had to run out there and fill up my cart! Following are a couple of projects I've put together...


This holiday planner is divided up to help get your holiday plans in order! Some of the tabs include: Calendar, Gifts, Cards, Recipes, etc. I also added a little pocket inside the back cover for stamps!


Wouldn't this make a great teacher's gift?? I hope my craft show customers think so! :-)

Cans!

Here are some of my altered paint cans. I have used too many different papers and embellishments to list! (I hope to get better about listing my materials in the future!)


These are my quart-size cans. Aren't they cute? They are the perfect size to sit on your desk and fill with candy or pens/pencils.

The following cans are all gallon size. I decided to make a matching card to include with each of the gallon size cans...




I think this set is my favorite so far! Makes me think if chocolate! The card has the word "Friend" on the front. I included a close-up for you to see.

I want to have some fall goodies for the craft show...so this is the first "Fall" can I've come up with...I found the scarecrow stamp at a garage sale for $2!!


This is what I ended up doing with the "Baby" can I asked for advice for in an earlier post. Just some simple white ribbon attached to the handle. I think it looks a lot better in person than in the picture!
