Welcome to the October challenge for the Crafty Secrets' DT!
This project was SO FUN!!! Let me show you ....

Each of the DT members used a tutorial that you can find
HERE to create a paper sack from an envelope. And we each got to pick a theme, so I chose "Thank you" and then made this sack using a brown envelope, burlap,
satin wings,
cameo setting,
lace trims, and these goodies from
Crafty Secrets:
-
Love Mail creative scraps
-
Mini Frames stamp set (chain stamp)
-
Grand Greetings stamp set (sentiment stamp)

and as part of the assignment, I made a card to go with the gift bag.

Another cute sentiment from
Grand Greetings, and a cameo setting with an image from
Mini Vintage creative scraps. the background pattern is from
Love Mail. I used some bits of trim and a burlap scrap salvaged from the bin ;) ...
Take a minute and see the great stuff the rest of the DT has come up with:
CRAFTY SECRETS
HEARTWARMING VINTAGE BLOG
And I just totally shocked myself by looking back at the archives........... I've been blogging for a
YEAR already? how amazing is that. I've gotten bad at updating recently. I'mso busy with classes, practice, work, and so many other things. As time permits, I will keep this blog updated if anyone wants to read still (raise your hand if you do).
Last week my family took a vacation up in Cameron Highlands (Malaysia).Here's a few I have handy to show you.
We saw loads of pretty flowers...

Gorgeous scenery...

STRAWBERRIES!! at the strawberry farm! ...

Ok that's all for now...

p/s ... For those of you who asked, the little felt flower on the card in my last post was sent to me by my friend
Annette. I bet she made them on her own, so if you want some of your own, go and bug her :D (sorry Annette) ....... I think she used to sell them in
her etsy shop.
