Life's Celebrations Blog Hop





Welcome, welcome to the MemoryWorks TeamWorks members' Life's Celebrations Blog Hop!
(Try saying THAT five times fast - I dare ya!) Our hop is sponsored by Simple Stories, and throughout the hop, you'll see all kinds of projects showcasing the NEWEST Simple Stories lines. Be sure to comment on ALL the lovely projects, as Simple Stories will be giving away a prize to ONE lucky commenter from all the blogs. So the more comments you post, the better your odds of WINNING!


Now, onto my projects...
I used the Happy Day line to create my projects. When I first saw the elements in this kit, I couldn't wait to play. Everything is so bright and fun, and makes me want to party! LOL

Since the theme of the hop is Life's Celebrations, I decided to go with some gift-y items. Don't most celebrations include gifts? Yeah...



First up is the gift bag. This is a plain bag I had left over from Christmas. The color went great with the Happy Day line, so I just layered a few pieces together, tied on a bow, and voila! Instant gift bag!



Next up is a treat bag that can be used as a party favor. Just a strip of fun patterned paper, a strip of stickers, and a couple staples.

And last, but not least, a gift card holder. This is actually made from three of the trading-card size cards that I had not yet cut apart. I folded them into a tri-fold and glued one side down, forming a pocket (would be great for putting money or even another gift card into), then made a quick photo corner to hold the gift card in place.


If these projects seem simple, that's because they ARE! The Simple Stories lines have such strong, solid designs that you can do a lot with them without a lot of effort. I did bling it up a little with some Stickles, but even that wasn't necessary. Try it for yourself!

Oh, and before you go, I'm offering up a little blog candy myself! I love these coordinating stamps from Unity, and MemoryWorks has loads of them to offer. I especially love this little banner set that goes so well with the Happy Day line, so it's what I'm giving away.



To be entered to win become a follower of my blog. Already a follower? That's great! Any comments left on this post will count as entries too! Deadline for all entries is Sunday, October 9th at 8:00 pm CST. I'll draw for the winner the following morning.
