A Craft HAUL from SGD and a few more surprises from the dollar store!

Hello my friends!  I received a package in the mail today!  Don't you just love getting packages in the mail? A little early Christmas present to my self that I thought I would share with you!  This box of goodies came from Scrappin' Great Deals, and I have to admit, it was wrapped up much nicer than it looks here when I received it.  I had already dove into it before I thought to make a haul post.  But just barely.  (Notice the yummy Werthers!)

Look at these new Christmas dies that I am eager to put to good use!  I also got some of the new Ranger Enamel Accents!

 I got a die for a stamp set that I already had, MFT "Make yourself at Home".  This will be a fun scene-making set.  I also got a new Lawn Fawn stamp "Sprinkled with Joy", which will also be a fun scene-builder.  The matching die is on back order and I can't wait to receive it! 

This is the stamp set "Make yourself at Home" that I had previously bought.

 A couple of fun stencils, some sunshine and some falling snow.

 Then, later today I was at Dollarama and found a few goodies.  I found this stamp set from Inkadinkado for just #3.  Just to give you a perspective, the bottom stamp is 6" x 6".  The top layer of stamps is actually a set of 6 stamps, so I thought that was a pretty good find. I like the images  a lot.

some more K & Company embellishments

 Some close-ups.  A nice vintage feel to these.

 And finally, some Prismacolor erasers.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my little haul and you can look forward to seeing some of these items in use soon.  I already have some ideas brewing...
Thanks so much for stopping by, have an amazing day!

Tag # 8-31 "Best Friends" Made from Dollar store haul

Hello my friends!  I have been busy painting for a show that is coming up fast!  So this was the perfect time to take a break and make a quick tag,  What better way to do a quick tag, than using embellishments that are already made with a sentiment on them?  As I mentioned in my previous post,  I wanted to do a tag using only things that I got at the dollar store.  So that's what I did to make this quick and easy tag that could easily be translated into a card.  Everything I used was from the dollar store, even the adhesive, with the exception of the punch I used for the butterflies.  But the card that I cut them out of was!  In hind-sight, I probably should've used a better pair of scissors to cut the ribbon!

Keeping it pretty short today, but I did want to share this with you.  I wanted to show that you can use dollar store items, and do something quick and easy, and it can still look pretty good. (but use sharp scissors!).  I actually have a couple of other ideas, so you may see one or two more tags mad from my haul.  Thanks so much for popping in!  I hope you like my quick and easy tag.
Have an awesome and artful day!
