A Bucket for you!

Seeing the cool things that you can do thinking out of the 'box'.....er, pillow box that is...

I found this on Splitcoaststampers, and oooh, the possibilities are endless. I don't think this came out really super 'cute', but it was what I had at hand. I was using the papers from the Night & Day Designer papers, and Basic Gray. I used my Spellbinders Nesties to cut out the scallop and the circles.

Stamped this cake from the 8 Great Greetings set, and colored in with SU Markers.










I got some Ghiradelli candies from Michaels and then wrapped it in the smallest cello bags and tied with gingham ribbons.

The red foil metallic shreddies are from the party department in any big box store.....but you can use the paper kinds as well!

Email me if you have any questions about this project!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I decided to stamp a few cards to send out to friends to remind them to get their annual check!

I have been lucky so far, but my mom had a scare a few years ago, and although it was benign, at least she got it checked out.

Just reminding you to not put it off. I find that I do that often....so this is also on myself too!!!

hugs!

recipe:

Pixie Pink cardstock

Whisper White Cardstock

Top notes Die

Polka Dot Ribbon (melon mambo)

Teeny Tiny wishes

Ribbon of Hope Stamp

Baroque Motif

Waterfall Album Class

This is the WATERFALL Album! I adapted the waterfall card that flips the pages, into a 6x6 book, that can hold larger pictures for that special person or event! I used basic black cardstock and Night & Day Designer paper, from Stampin' Up!'s Mini Catalog, and although I didn't do the inside yet, the polka dots just lent itself to Cherries! I love cherries!

The Cherries are done with the 1 3/4" circle punch in Real Red, and the leaves are punched from Garden green, I punched it twice to make the oval shape. The stem was hand cut. I highlighted the cherries with the white gel pen.

I have tried to post my first video, but for some reason, it failed...so although I have been trying to work the bugs out....I hope to be able to post it soon.....

The way this book works is by pulling the tab, and the pages flip over!

WCMD - World Card Making Day!

Yesterday was World Card Making day!

So, I planned for my daughter and her friends to come and make cards for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. They would be able to have some fun being creative, and also get community service hours, which they need to graduate.

Our goal was to make as many cards as we could. Of course there was supposed to be more girls, but only 3 showed up (including my daughter).
But, I had planned for at least 100 cards. I thought it might be close where we might not finish, and maybe if more girls had shown up, it probably wouldn't have been completed (funny how that works) but with these 3 girls, and 2 moms plus myself, we did pretty good!

We actually did 118 cards!

Teamwork...(the girls are from our Basketball team!)

Days of Old Christmases.....Christmas Traditions or Crafts from Christmas Past

Once upon a time....when I was a little girl...
my mom used to take the little magazine called the Reader's Digest and she would collect them...and then make them into Christmas Trees to set out on the table. I remember doing them in Girl Scouts as well. We would fold the pages, very carefully, and then spray paint them at the end, but we'd also decorate them with yarn and ribbons and bright sequins...

Those days are long gone...

But someone just had a link to them, and it brought back memories from years ago..(the 1960's!!!)

Here's a link in case you want to know how to make these

Gift Giving

Gift giving can be so easy to do with the "right stuff". My upline shared this idea with us at our meeting on Saturday, and so when I got home, I made this for my SAS class as a gift from me!

I am having a class on Halloween, and I would love to show you how to make this!

So, if you would like to learn how to do this, be sure to email me and come to my class!

Gift giving is fun, and can save you money if you make it yourself!
