fun favors and a layout.

Happy Tuesday, to all you Swanky fans! It's Sarah, here.

Today, I thought it would be fun to share a couple of projects that I have recently created.

First up, I made these cute little bags that work well as favors. You can fill them with anything from chocolates to cookies. The possibility is endless.



I punched two holes at the top of the favor bag, and then I threaded some ribbon through to make bows. The bows will help prevent from any of the inside contents to fall out.

I also wanted to share a layout I created using a couple sheets of patterned papers.



Aren't the colors to this phenomenal?! I cut out some of the flowers on one of the patterned papers, and I used them as embellishments.



What do you think?! Pretty stuff, huh?!

I know I say this every time I post, but I truly mean it when I say that the papers speak for themselves. :)

Happy Tuesday!

hugs,
sarah.

Simple, but gorgeous!

Need to spice up an empty space on your wall or door?! Try creating a simple, but gorgeous, wall hanging. All you will need is just a couple pieces of Urban Lily papers.

In today's project, I used the following sheets:




That's it. Just a couple sheets of paper will allow you to create the project pictured below:


I took some wood products from Zutter, and I covered them with my first sheet of patterned paper. Afterwards, I cut out some cute journaling spots from my second sheet of paper; I embellished my project with these cut outs.

To create that glittery look, I applied Modge Podge Sparkle to the surface of my project.

Once it was dry, I used the bind-it-all to create holes to loop some tulle.



Can you believe that only TWO sheets of Urban Lily paper can create this project?! If you don't believe, you should give it a try! You will love the result of your outcome!

Happy creating to all.

Hugs,
sarah.
