Treat Time With Kathy & Dorcas ♥

Happy Monday Lovebug Friends!

  

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and today I am sharing with you some adorable, and easy to make, Fabric Bunny Treat Bags.  I have used different colors of Rumple Ribbon to tie cute bows at the top to form the ears.

 

The pattern to make these is a free cut file from the Silhouette online store.

 

 

Be sure to stop by my blog for all the details.

 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

 

Dorcas

I wanted to make treats for friends who have helped me this week as I have been recovering, so I purchased some lollipops and made this lollipop cover using Envious rumple ribbon.  It has the same concept as a matchbox and it's suitable for a flat lollipop.  Enjoy!!

Harvesting Memories Blog Hop

Welcome to Harvesting Memories Blog Hop!  Hopefully you harvested a delightful project from Sandy, but if you accidentally stumbled here, you might wish to start with our blog hostess, Lisa

Next week as we prepare to enjoy the traditional turkey feast or a non-traditional meal like spaghetti and meatballs (yes we did that one year), we should all ponder the blessings and joy we have in our everyday lives.

I am thankful for wonderful parents, a devoted husband, delightful daughters, and of course, our magnificent seven grandchildren.  I am grateful for a full-filling 38 years as an educator and my engaging “retirement” job working with my other passion – genealogy!  I am blessed to be a part of LoveBug Creations while designing projects for all the super craftie pals I’ve met along this journey! If you've a mind to celebrate our one-year store anniversary slip over HERE

My first set of projects is all about table decor - I used a Cameo cut of a darling turkey resting on a pilgrim hat for a centerpiece at my table.  Then I fashioned a place card for each guest with a matching turkey and a "turkey" lollipop topper for the plate.  I love carmel-apple suckers for this!

Here I used LoveBug Creations Simply Sheer to add a bit of sass to my turkey double-sided table decor and lots of Stickles.

I fashioned LoveBug Creations Mama's Mesh on the pilgrim hat of the lollipop and a swatch of matching Mama's Mesh tied for the table card plus a sunflower sticker and colorful gobble stickers  - orange checkerboard paper from my paper stash plus kraft paper for the base of the table decor - if you want to write or computer-generate a name for each guest, this could be a decorative name plate as well (or a take home bookmark).

And of course I made several Thanksgiving cards for the occasion as well - stamps, leaf and flower punches, patterned paper for criss-cross style card, LBC Simply Sheer Ribbon, and lots of love:

First of all, I want to thank Beccy's Place who has an amazing collection of free digis. 

Christmas is full of candy treats for the holidays and festive tables set for gatherings.  With that in mind I made a lollipop topper for a table favor.  I used a Sizzix ribbon die after I embossed some white card stock.  The image was colored with pencils and glitter markers.  I fussy cut the dancing lady and adhered her to the paper bow and then I topped her off with LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon.  Each place setting at a Christmas table can have a treat. BTW, the sucker is my favorite - caramel apple!!

Paper Piecings by Nikki DT Offering - Fight Like A Girl

Happy Crafting Day to You!  Today I want to talk about a very serious topic - Breast Cancer.  I bet you all know at least one person who has been touched by this and with your crafting talent, you want to bring a bit of sunshine to that person - so here's an idea for you (actually several ideas)!!
Link It Up Pink http://www.linkupforpink.com/

Paper Piecings by Nikki has a wonderful cut file called Fight Like A Girl.  I used that file to make several different projects which I call the Breast Cancer Awareness Pack.  Here's what I made:

1.  Two different Breast Cancer Awareness Brooches, each with the image from PPbN.  These brooches could be worn on a jacket, a shirt, on a purse, etc - use your imagination.  Have a fashionista in your circle of friends who wants to make people aware of this cause??

2.  Two different Breast Cancer Awareness Book Marks, each with the image from PPbN - all glitzzed up with gel pens for added dimension - have a reader in your circle of friends who would appreciate the thought??

3. One Breast Cancer Awareness Lollipop - as you'll see in the picture I have plenty of room to make and send more but I wanted you to get the idea.  I took my favorite sucker, Caramel Apple, and added a bow cut out of a Sizzix die and added the PPbN image, glitzzed up and ready for gifting!  Have someone who wants to Fight Like A Girl against the Big C??

Together Let's Lick Cancer!!
You can find this file and so much more at the PPbN store - http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/

Remember, no matter how you piece your paper, have fun with it........cyberhugs.........Mama LoveBug!
