Tea Bag Holder

Morning! Just a quick little post for ya today to show you a tea bag holder I made last week.

I wanted to make another tea bag holder but in a different way from my last one. I got this wonderful idea from Joyce...she sent me the directions and I quick threw one together. The accordian sides, when open, they have pumpkins stamped on them too!

So...what did I use? The stamp set Pumpkin Patch, Old Olive card stock, Dusty Durango DSP from the Level 1 Hostess paper pack, and some Old Olive Ribbon.

Such an easy project...don't you agree?

That is it for today...I'm stamping up a storm getting ready for my 3 Clovers Challenge day on Thursday and for Blogger's Challenge on Friday!

Don't forget about my Pretty in Pink Promotion! Just click on the pink ribbon in my right sidebar for all the info!

Have a super day all!

3 Clovers Challenge Day!!

Morning everyone! How is your week going? This week, thankfully, has gone quite quickly...I can hardly believe that we are only a week from vacation...yay!

Anyway, today is 3 Clovers Designs Challenge day! Yay! Being that this month is breast cancer awareness month Kerry has challenged us to use pink on our card/project. Uhhhh....I love pink! So I decided to combine this challenge with a swap that I'm in and Story Time Sophia is what I came up with. Isn't it just such a happy card? I love the buttons and whimsical feel of the card. The size of the card also makes it more of a note card size at 3 1/2 x 5. I love that size for quick notes to friends or make a card that size with a thank you image. Great stuff!

So, there you have it! I hope that you have a wonderful Thursday and I'll see ya tomorrow for my Blogger's Challenge post.
