Making progress :)

GOODNESS. Working on these paper things takes forever! Today I covered a lot of ground- I cut out all of the candy labels/tags and I cut out all the cake boxes! I almost have them glued- I have about half left. I wish they hadn't taken me so long to make them, but I basically didn't do ANYTHING the other day because I had a really bad headache :(


The above image is the finished candy labels and also the boxes cut out. I designed everything on the computer myself from scratch, except for the AWESOME decoration around my name on the top of the boxes. This design is one of the Photoshop brushes the lovely Lileya . She has tons of other things she has made and they are all free to use as long as you give her credit and don't take credit for them yourself. I would really love to draw up my own some time, but I don't have enough time to design them and STILL get all of the Halloween things listed. 

Here are some detail shots of the cake boxes. They will have some thread wrapped around them to keep them closed :)



I am so happy to show you this next picture! There was a sale at Micheal's Craft Store this week- ALL polymer clay was 99 cents a block. 99 CENTS A BLOCK. Can you believe that? That's almost a third of the original price! Needless to say I got about 25 blocks of it. I wanted to get some more so bad, but I am running low on funds lately :)


Thanks so much for stopping by and reading! I will hopefully have some more pictures of minis up soon. I didn't expect to take this long on the paper goods!

    1. Yeah! I know! IT WAS A MAGICAL SALE. I wish they had it more often :C
      And thank you! I have had horrible migraines ever since I was little, and they basically weaken me for an entire day every now and then.
