Goodie Bags for 3 Spring Occasions by Samantha

Hello! Samantha with you today with a project using the new patterned bags. I have a bit of Spring fever, so I thought I'd style goodie bags for 3 Spring occasions. 

I used the same layout for embellishing all of my bags, but as you can see, they all have a very different feel. 

My first bag was decorated for Opening Day! Whether you'll be headed out to the ball park or watching from home this decorated bag is a great way to turn peanuts or popcorn into a special treat. I used a blue zigzag patterned bag, layered on a circle cut from a black striped patterned bag. I embellished with baseball stickers from Take 2 Stickers By The Dozen Baseball and a 2017 sticker from Year of Memories 2017. I sealed the bag shut with a sticker from Calendar Companion. 

My next bag is a Spring themed thank you bag. It's great for a small teacher or hostess gift. You can slip in a gift card, a handmade bar of soap and some lotion, or some pretty nail polish. For this bag I started with a striped bag. Then I added a 4" White Doily. I embellished the doily and the bag with stickers from We've Got Your Stickers Thanks. 

For my last bag I created a Spring birthday bag. You could slip a little birthday treat in here or a gift card to go out to eat, some tea bags, or even some packs of seeds. I started with a bright green striped patterned bag, then I layered on a circle cut from the pink polka dot patterned bag. I embellished with stickers from Take 2 Stickers By The Dozen Birthday and Sentiment Happy Birthday. I sealed the bag shut with a sticker from We've Got Your Sticker Happy. 

...and there you have it: goodie bags for 3 Spring occasions. I love how these patterned bags can make a little gift extra special! What would you stick in these patterned bags?

March Planner by Melanie

Hello from Melanie!  Spring is in the air and it is time for some March Planner pages!  I started off with some of SRM sticker sheets, LePens, and mint jute.

SRM stickers add such great color to my planner pages. I appreciate how easy it is to coordinate stickers from different sheets and themes.

The Planner sticker sheet has great icons to use to indicate important things to remember--from doctor appointments to Daylight Savings to meeting with friends.

 Here's to a fun-filled March!

January 2017 Planner Pages by Melanie

Happy New Year! Melanie joining you today with some planner fun!  I am looking forward to 2017 and hope you are as well. 

My planner definitely helps keep me on track for a more successful year. Usually I only add color to my weekly pages because, well, this is what my monthly pages end up looking like . . .  The days are packed . . . but . . . Blah.

So, to start the new year off a little more brightly, I used SRM stickers to give my January planner layout a splash of color. 

 (Trust me, my sharpened #2 pencil was poised to write in work schedules, appointments, lessons, sports activities, social events, etc. as soon as these pictures were taken. But now I'll have some color amongst all the lead writing).

The "A Year to Remember" Calendar Companion sticker sheet is perfect for planners and calendars. The little icons fit perfectly on special dates or days to remember.

I love the Freestyle stickers and their funky shapes. They add just the right amount of color and style to my pages. 

To add some finishing touches, I used the 2017 Year of Memories sticker and black sticker stitches (I think I use these on every project).  

I love to see how you complete your planner pages on the SRM's Facebook Planner Sticker Fun page. Thanks in advance for sharing your projects!

2017 Desk Calendar by Melanie

Hello! Melanie here today to share one of my favorite things -- SRM Calendar stickers! They are so cute and perfect . . . and I love calendars :)

I used the 2017 Decorative Mini Calendars to put together this desk calendar I can use at work. 

Having something small and as a quick reference is very handy for me. And if it is cute, it is an extra bonus!

For each month I used 3x4 inch cards (I have a TON of these in my stash). Then I added the calendars and an embellishment.

The SRM Sticker Stitches worked beautifully to add a finishing touch. They come in several different colors to add a fun pop to your projects.

I used my binding machine and 1/2" coils to connect each of the month pages together. Because it fans out, it sits really nicely on it's own.

This calendar is for me . . . but I can definitely see myself making more for gifts :)

Enjoy your day!
