OA Product Pick: Flower Sack

Yesterday on the October Afternoon blog, they showcased the new Flower Sack die-cut embellishments.

They are soooo cute and fun to work with!  They have them for all of the new collections:  Sidewalks, Farmhouse, Sasparilla, and Holiday Style.

I have the Sidewalks Flower Sack (shown here), 

and here is what I created with it:

The butterflies and 'Fun Times' banner are from the Flower Sack.  I also used a Journaling Card, Buttons, 'Celebrate' pennant from the Little Fliers, and some twine from the Wrap Pack.  So quick and easy!

They are a perfect size for tags and cards, but are great for layouts and other projects too!

Head on over HERE for a chance to win some, and don't forget to check out what the other girls on the design team created using them.

Well, that's it for me today.  Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Getting sketchy...

 Hey everyone!  How is your weekend going?  So far, so good here.

This week on the October Afternoon blog I got to play along with Marcy Penner's sketch challenge.  (You can see the sketch here.)

 I mostly used papers and embellishments from the Sidewalks collection. 

I created the flowers with my Cricut Expression and Sweet Treats cartridge.

And for the grid pattern in the sketch, I got out my sewing machine and used the lines in the patterned paper as my guide.

If you get a chance to play along with the sketch, make sure to post over in the OA Flickr Gallery for everyone to see.  ;)

Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
