Why am I such a procrastinator? I'll have a booth set up at the Edgerton PTO Holiday Mart on December 6th, and I am sooooooooooo NOT ready. I've got a ton of stuff to do and no time to do it. So, with that being said, I'm going to post and run!!
Who DOESN'T have leftover Halloween candy every year? Yeah, exactly. I had this bag o' Smarties (well not the WHOLE bag) left and wanted to figure out something to do with them. Voila... my:
Winter Cheer Mini-Pocket Pouch
Stamps: Ready Set Snow, Ornamental Snowflakes, Tag Tidbits Paper: Toodle Loo cardstock, white UltraSmooth cardstock
Ink: VersaMark, Reflection Blue & Iris Palettes
Other: Stardust Stickles, photo turn & brad, misc. ribbon, foam tape, sewing machine, Giga Scallop Square Punch
Fun, huh?! It looks like I have a scallop rectangle, no? NO! The white ribbon is not just a bit of loveliness... I punched two squares, glued them together and wrapped the ribbon around to hide the overlap. Genius... me thinks! :) Ok, maybe not genius, but it IS another way to extend your square punch versatility! I'm sure I'm not the first to figure this one out either, so if you've got some examples, share the link!!

I know this little pouch doesn't hold much, but it does hold the small Smarties packs, and it would be great with three little tags in the pockets w/ a little index photo (ya' know, from the small proof sheets at Walgreens) and a bit of journaling. Or maybe go the whole blessings route for Thanksgiving.
I've had my Janome Mini sewing machine for awhile and hadn't used it! I've still got to play with the tension since it is totally different sewing on paper rather than fabric.WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Totally awesome and would work great as a gift card holder as well! So clever!
Barb this project totally ROCKS! You could also make one of these to hold gift cards, would have to adjust the size probably. But great for that special someone who likes a variety of shopping options! ;o)
super cute idea! what a "smartie" you are! :) Happy Thanksgiving!
Great project!! I would never be able to put Smarties in there- I am a Smarties kinda girl. I like Smarties better than chocolate.LOL
What an adorable packet of candy!!! Great job. Happy Thanksgiving friend.
Very cool project! I love your design. Isn't it fun to sew on paper? You're right, it's totally different than sewing on fabric!
