Hello Creative Friends,
Thought I’d share a quick project for ladies meeting favors. I think I shared these before but that was on my old blog and I couldn’t find it on this one so I’m sharing it again. It’s one of those easy ones.
This is basically just a piece of 7 3/4 x 2 piece of card-stock, scored and folded at 2 inches on each end to make a pouch. Then a hole punched in one end so it will hang on the bottle. It requires just a few embellishments. For mine I just used some of my scrap papers I had on hand and a stamped flower image for embellishment. You can add in any individual drink packet mix you want.
I updated the Lemonade Theme on the website and this would be a good one to go with that but can work with any of the Women’s Ministry Themes.
Follow a tutorial for this project on the Chick’n Scratch website.
Have a creative day,
Hello Creative Friends,
Today I’m sharing a shoe craft to go along with the Women’s Ministry Shoe Theme that I just got added back on my main website today. One of the verses for that theme is Psalm 119:133
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.”

One of my favorite places for printing out crafts is over at the HP Activity Center (Hewlett-Packard). They have some really fun things over there and one of the projects is some cute little princess shoes. They are cute just like they are but I printed them out just to use for a template so I could make some different colored ones out of card-stock. I just transferred the guides of their score and cut lines to my card-stock.
Note: If you do decide to print some things from over there, read their “instructions” for each project first. Many times you need to print off just one of the the pdf pages, then turn your cardstock and put it back in the printer and then print the second page because many of their projects are front and back. When I print their projects just to use as a template I don’t print the extra pages of the projects to save on my ink.
*****Edited 5/15/12********* HP has redone their website and now you must go through the following steps to retrieve the pdf file for this project.
You can find the shoes on the HP page with their Glamour-Princess Party Kit. Go to their Creative Studio. Click on Project Types – Party Kits and Decorations - Party Kits = Glamour Princess Kt – Slipper Decoration.
I used my Sizzix Blossom Party Die for my flowers and put them together with a flower brad. I just wrote out “Order my steps” for the tag and made some dashes for seams with an ink marker. These shoes are great to hold little goodies such as small cello bags of candy. I put some Hershey’s Hugs in mine. You could also fill in the shoe with shredded paper filler and add in a few wrapped candies.
My devotional for the shoe theme, Well Dressed Feet can be found here. I did manage to get a lot of devotionals and pages added back onto my main website today and you can find all of those listed on my homepage here.

Hello Creative Friends,
Happy 4th of July! I hope you enjoy your day. I’m so grateful for our freedom and those who serve and have served to help keep it.
I thought for my first Sunday post on my new blog, I’d share this little Scripture fold-out album that I made to put inside an Altoids size tin. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for a long time. I finally got to it. I’m going to give it to a special friend. The fold-out has 5 panels. I was going to print out some verses from the computer but I ended up using some of my Verve Plain Jane bible verse stamps that I have. I thought they worked well together.
I added some buttons, little brads, a punch bird, and some little punch butterflies and flowers to perk it up. My flower on top of the tin is made with punches. I used some of that October Afternoon Thrift Shop paper that I love so much. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.
I just put a few buttons and a punch flower on the first page as it would be on the top when it’s folded and I wanted to tie it up with a bow. You can click on any of the photos for a closer look.
The above photo is how it looks all tied up inside the tin. I just attached the ribbon on the underside of the last panel so I could bring it around and tie it.
Supply Lists?
I decided I’d start putting my supply lists for my projects at the bottom of each post so they are easier to find. Sometimes I just say things like card-stock or designer paper or just punch shapes though as I use what’s in my stash sometimes and don’t have a clue where, when, or what color or brand name they are. I don’t always write what color of ink pad I use either. When I start keeping track too much, it doesn’t remain fun for me any longer and I like to enjoy what I’m doing!
Have a creative day,
