Heidi Motz is The WINNER!!

Heidi Motz is the Easter Open House Raffle Winner! Congrats, Heidi. This is quite fitting actually because Heidi was my first Hartley Handcrafted customer. She had me make her darling daughters 1st year scrapbook last year. She's been such a great encourager for me in this adventure, as many of you have, so I hope she will enjoy this little perk over Easter Weekend.

Thanks, Heidi!

I've been working on a raffle basket full of goodies for the boys school carnival silent auction coming up. Here are a few of the items to go inside it. I still have a few other things I want to add to it..but thought this was a fun start. Of coarse, I'll add a business card and a nice coupon for a % off the winner's next order.




Here's the few items grouped together.

Here is a little treat basket. I have no idea about the pattern for it, so don't ask! LOL! It was made from a scrap of vellum card stock that I just played around with to make it into what I wanted. It holds 8 thin mints with scalloped circles on both sides to sandwich the mint. I punched out a snowflake so the wrapper would sparkle through.

Here is a stationary folder. I took a 12 x 12 piece of card stock and scored it 6 inches in. Then, turned it so the score line ran horizontal, then scored it 3 inches from the bottom. I folded on the score lines, clipped a V (upside down V) on the 3 inch fold, then folded that up to make a pocket. See the next photo.











Here's the inside. I ran my snowflake SU! wheel down the side of the stationary, used a snowflake from SU's Snowflake set, and ran the wheel on the flap of the envelopes.









I love how these turned out. I ran vellum card stock through my snowflake cuttlebug folder and it made the neatest designs on the front. I attached a white piece of cs on the inside and stamped a snowflake in the corner. Ribbon is from Michael's.















I had fun with my new SU! Scalloped punch with the edge of these cards. I had some snowflake vellum in my paper stash and ran that down the inside..you can see it peeking out on the right side. I scalloped the edges of that too so it was edged nicely when you open the card. The snowflake on the front is from a set of pre-made embellishments by Making Memories that I got at Michael's. The 8 cards are wrapped with the ribbons to make a nice packet.
