Bright Christmas

I always thought I was more of a traditional Christmas colors kind of gal but the last few years the bright punches of purple, pink and turquoise against white have really caught my eye. 

I played with some papers to create a Christmas/Winter paper bag scrapbook album. It's just so fun and cheery and I'm pretty sure matches with my girl's snow outfit, lol. Papers used were from a 6x6 pad from Recollections I picked up at Michaels mixed with some DCWV Chip Chatter alphas for the front cover. The embellishments were also mostly from Recollections accented with some Primas and hand punched snowflakes.

While cutting for the album, I thought how fun owl treat boxes would be in those shades. Cute for a Winter Wonderland party or Candy-themed birthday.


And with some of the leftover papers.... cut them into strips, coil around a pencil and toss inside a clear glass or plastic ornament. Or punch snowflakes or other themed shapes and sprinkle some glitter inside. Top with a colorful ribbon and Voila!... quick and easy Christmas gift.


Happy Crafting!!! ~Heather~

Prima Marketing

I'm very excited to be getting Prima Marketing Inc. supplies at BBG. My order has been placed and will hopefully ship soon. I actually just can't wait to start using them! They will be listed for sale as soon as they arrive. The first shipment will include many flowers and I just had to get the WHOLE umbrella line. Until then, I can brainstorm... Heather

PBAs--Great Gift Idea


For the past few years, I've been on a kick to introduce new types of paper crafts to the community--whether it be at craft fairs or given as gifts. I've received very positive feedback on my paper bag albums (pbas). Yes--Paper Bag Albums--constructed from brown paper bags!

Easy directions:



1. Start off with 3 paper bags. There are generally two sizes but I prefer the largers ones. Folded they will be approximately 6" x 6". Alternate the bags and fold in half. I use a 3-ring punch to punch the holes about 1/4" from the fold.


2. Theme: I've made bags celebrating Mom, Halloween, Birthdays, Weddings, Baby, Recipes--just about anything! They are also a great personalized album to give to a child to keep their own photos.


3. I adhere all of my background cardstock/paper first. I measure the size of the folded paper bags and crop my paper to those specifications and adhere. I then go through the "inside" pages and add embellishments, ribbon, quotes and photo mats. The front of the album I save for last and the back I only use cardstock.


4. Make use of the openings of the paper bags! I use them to tuck journaling tags, extra photo mats and recipe cards.


It makes for a great craft activity to do with children, especially on those rainy, summer days!
