Vacation Time!

Hello, it's Oldie But Goodie day at Catch The Bug, and although this adorable little Pig isn't too old, he's definitely a Goodie and truth be told I couldn't wait to use him!

The card base is so saffron, with designer paper from Doodlebug-fruit stand pad. Then I finished it off with twine and a button.

I also used the Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC224

A Star Is Born!

Hello, my Nephew Jack was in a school production of The Wizard of Oz. Our whole family went to see it, and what a treat it was, it was so well done, hard to believe it was a public school production!

Jack was one of the tough boy Munchkins as well as a flying monkey. I made this treat for him, for a job well done.

I found this awesome Tutorial for Hersey Kisses Star treat holders by Brenda of Qbee`s Quest. She has tutorials for several Hersey Treat Holders, there`s super easy and so clever!

To finish it, I used the Flying Monkey Riley, from Riley and Company and the sentiment is from Stampin Up Picture This set.

Have a Great Day!
