I decided to use a couple of each to make some holiday treat bags! The tutorial for these adorable little treat holders is from an awesome YouTuber named Darby, and her channel is called "Rejoice and Create". You can find the video for these bags here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03w6Vs7BINE&t=93s I also wrapped the Hershey's nuggets inside with a strip of coordinating paper from each pack.

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to another blog hop Wednesday brought to you by the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team. This week we've all made projects with some of the cool patterned papers from Brutus Monroe! I chose to make these cute little mini notebooks. I followed this tutorial here: https://youtu.be/3VJ5jLuGf7o All of the notebooks and the inserts are laminated to make them durable.

I started out by making cards with some of these new papers, but then decided I wanted to go beyond that. I love making little treat boxes for friends and coworkers and family, especially during the holidays or birthdays.

She is in the UK and does fabulous tutorials for all different treat boxes. At the end of the post, I'll number the boxes, and I'll link to each tutorial. For th...
