About: Our family loves Halloween and candy corn so I wanted to make a special treat container for it. I also love the accordion style flowers and wanted to make them in a larger format for decoration.
Designer Notes: For the decoration I cut a 12x12 paper into 3 - 4x12” sections (for the large ones). I then used my Bind-It-All to punch one edge and accordion folded the paper alternating between 1” and ½” so there are small and large folds in the paper. Then join it together to make the large circle and add a die cut to the middle.
For the treat container I cut my acrylic into 4 equal pieces and also one other piece for the bottom. Put the acrylic through the Bind-It- All and attach the pieces together with cord or ribbon. I then attached stickers to each side and made a handle from a piece of Owire. I added a smaller form of the accordion flower to a Starbucks stir stick sprayed with black glimmer mist. Then add your favorite treats!

About: I like pretty things in my purse and my First Aid Kit definitely wasn’t! So I decided to make something to hold all my first aid items that looked pretty.
Designer Notes: I covered the Cover-All with Echo Park paper and stickers and added some ribbon on the spine. For the inside I made little pockets from the Echo Park paper to hold all my items. This is really easy to do. For this size I used 6”x 6” paper and scored 3” on one side then flip it and score at 2”. Then fold it together to make a page with pockets and bind it at the open side. I also added some of the Maya Road scallop envelopes to hold stuff.

About: Last year our oldest son’s teacher had them set up a Homework Drop Spot in the house where they would always put their homework, forms and planners that needed parents attention during the school year. It was really great, kept us organized and we always knew where things were so I know we are going to do it again this year and wanted to decorate the spot a little. The school house was inspired by the new Crate Paper School Spirit Collection!
Designer Notes: You can decorate this with any school themed papers but I really love the old fashioned school house on Crate Paper’s new School Spirit line so I imagined it on a larger scale and paper pieced it together. I also spray painted a chipboard shape with chalkboard paint so we can write notes if there is anything we need to remember and added it behind the house. I used the hang-it-alls in the corner and used my brown StazOn to make them more brownish in color. Finish it off with some ribbon and fun embellishments like my canvas tree and owl.
