613 Avenue Create - Random Act of Kindness week

How often do you see a random act of kindness? In the world we live in today, probably not very often, but it does happen. They can be small gestures, doing something for someone that they are not expecting. 

CHALLENGE #97  Random Acts of Kindness Week 

SPONSOR:  Fitztown

Image:  Fae 9

Our challenge this week over at 613 Avenue create is just that, We challenge you to create a little something for your mail carrier, favorite waitress, bank teller, friend...well you get the picture.

I LOVE the image I used this week. It is called Fae 9 and is one of the many images in the FAE collection over at Fitztown. Stop by and check them out, they have some fantastic images.

I decided to make a gift bag. I will use it to give a little something to someone special. It won't have to be a special occasion, but a random act of kindness that I hope will make someone's day!

Pattie's Creations - Fall Colors

Boy times are getting busy....but not to busy to share a little challenge inspiration for our current challenge over at Pattie's Creations

Theme:  Autumn Colors

And they sure are popping up everywhere. For my inspiration this challenge, I am using a fun little image called Spooky Scarecrow.

This is a great image for any Halloween project. As you can see, I decided to make a little gift bag. Perfect for lots of little treats...or one large treat. 

Here is a closer look.

I made a cute little matching tag as well.

Pattie's Creations - Altered or Recycled Challenge

Happy Friday all! It is especially happy for me as it is my 22nd Wedding Anniversary. Wow! It is hard to believe that I have been married that long. He is a wonderful guy that supports my crafting hobby. He recently converted our Family room into my craft room and it is where I sit and create nightly!

While we are still the same people, we have "altered" just a bit from our wedding day. We are definitely older, a bit grayer and unfortunately a "few" pounds heavier. But we are wiser, we are parents and we are happy. So even though something may change, it many times is even better.

So with that in mind, I want to challenge you this week to play along over at Pattie's Creations.

Theme:  Altered or Recycled

The image I chose to work with is called Dog Days of Summer. I have created a link that takes you right to it. When I saw this image, it made me smile. Especially recently with the hot summer I have been enduring here in Arizona.

So I started out with a plain gift bag.

Kind of Blah right?

Well, this cute image sure does make a difference. I also added some paw prints and bones along with a sentiment that reads:  Anyone can be cool, but Awesome takes practice!

I will be delivering some cards tonight that I made for my Aunt, and they will fit perfectly in this cute little bag. I am sure she will get a kick out of it. She just moved to Arizona, so she will appreciate the "cool" sentiment.

Well, that is it for now!
