Mini Treat Bag Thinlit!

Posted on December 24, 2014December 24, 2014 by Josee

Good Morning!

It's Christmas Eve, can you believe it?! My kids are so excited! One more sleep! 🙂 This is what happens when the kids are home for a few days before Christmas and are WAY over excited while I try to finish up some work before I take some time off 🙂 Lol! Do you like my new hair do? 🙂

I, on the other hand am excited about the NEW Occasions catalogue coming out January 6th! One of the new items in the catalogue is the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit. SUPER cute!! AND SUPER easy! This will be a very verstatile die to have- think party favors, valentine treats, easter treats…you could even fit a gift card in there for a cute packaging option!

To make this bag, I also used the mini hearts thinlit- die cut from the 'Best Year Ever DSP' (Sale-a-bration) on the strip at the bottom- that comes with the Mini Treat Bag set of thinlets, and the stamp is from the new set 'Hey Valentine'- a really cute set for kid's valentines too…and Calypso Coral Pompom trim! So cute!

You are going to love this new catalogue! I can't wait for you to see it!

In case you missed it, I'm having an Open House! I hope you will join me!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and get to enjoy the holidays together!
