Project Inspiration- Musin Drawstring Gift Bags

This video is on page 99 in the CTMH Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book.

Give a gift that is personalized down to the very bag itself. Using the CTMH Muslin Drawstring bag can make this possible. You can stamp and embellish directly on the bags for a unique look that is perfect to say thanks, congratulations, happy birthday, or just because. The "For a Friend" stamp set is a good stamp set to decorate a bag and make someone's day. Watch this video to learn more about personalizing these little bags.

Today's video comes from page 86 in the CTMH Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book.

Project Inspiration- A Different Spin

Add a different spin to your layouts and cards by incorporating a spinner into your artwork.

Canvas Art

This is my first time working with a canvas product. The canvas came as a kit.  The cool zigzag pattern was already on it. The kit came with chipboard elements in different colors so you could choose the right color combination for your home. It also had the bling and twine included along with a great stamp set. My husband even thought it looked nice!! Now that is a plus !
If you get the chance to work with a canvas in your scrapbooking give it a try. It is a fun and unique product to work with.
