This was a really fun project! This box could be used for Sooooo many things! I thought about making a gift card set to give to a dear friend.....but then it came to me...a cookie mix box! I just love to give gifts to the hostess of any get together we go to, and really thought this would be so cute...and I was right!

The box was super easy to put together and was really fun to embellish!

Christmas Card Challenge

Hi! today my card is from the christmas challenge over at SNR Card University, this week we were to do any type of embossing. So I decided to use my Nestabilities Lable die 1 to dry emboss around this cute little stocking. I found this Karen Lockhardt stamp down at the little scrapping booking store I found last week, and it was on clearance! Can you believe it!

If you are interested in getting a head start on your christmas cards, come join us over at SNR and join in on the weekly challenges, you will have your christmas cards done in no time!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Sweet sketch from the Pink Elephant

Happy Wednesday folks!

Today I am posting my take on the sketch from The Pink Elephant. What a sweet sketch! I just had to use my new Karen Lockhart stamp I found down at a quant little stamping store in Old Town St. Charles. I about fell over, when I saw this stamp was on sale at this shop...so of course, I had to purchase it! I had been eyeing it on line for some time...It was really easy to color using my Copics...I was a little concerned as I hadn't done anything so detailed before...but it was really easy.

Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Stamps: Karen Lockhart, PTI for sentiment

Paper: PTI Lavendar Moon, Dark Chocolate, bitty squares in Lavendar Moon

Project Tuesday at Stamps and Smiles

It is Tuesday, and that means Project Tuesday at Stamps and Smiles



This week we are making a really cute bag made from 1 sheet of paper! I decided to create a little thank you gift for a bridal shower I will be giving. I just love how it turned out! Such an easy project!



Instead of using a ribbon to close my bag, I decided to use a covered button as the closure, and then applied velcro for the actual closure so the button is only a design element.




Please join us over st Stamps and Smiles for the Project Tuesday, and link your project so we can all take a peek!


Thanks for looking!

Stamps and Smiles - late!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful father's day! Treating your father to something special! We just got back in town this afternoon, we purchased my husband a new truck! We had to drive down to Arkansas to pick it up, my husbands brother is a car dealer...so that is what my husband received for fathers day! I have to say, that's a great gift! Oh, he also requested King Crab Legs for dinner, so I will be prepairing those shortly.

Anyway...for my card.....I had such a busy week at work that I lost track of time and when I created this card from the Stamps and Smiles weekly sketch challenge...I didn't realize it was the sketch from last week! But I love this card so much, that I wanted to post it anyway!

These are the new stamps sets from Papertrey Ink...isn't the basket just the cutiest! As soon as I saw this set during the preview, I just new I had to have it!

The backround paper on top, I designed myself using some of the Papertrey Ink backround basics.....

Happy Monday!

Well, I am at it again, I have attempted to combine 3 challenges into 1 card! This week, I am using the Holiday Challenges on SNR Card University which was to use pink somewhere on your card. So if you look hard enough, you will see a few of the christmas lights are pink!

Then on to Our Creative Corner where the challenge was to use a border punch on your card. So, along the side of the stamped image, you will see I have used my new Martha Stewart border punch....just love that one!

And finally, The Sweet Shop where they offered the card sketch. Well, I have to say, I losely used the card sketch...I tried really hard, but the stamped image was just too big! So I hope it counts!

So, on to this really cool new stamp set I purchased at a stamping convention this weekend in Collinsville Illinois. I found this set, which is created by Stamps by Judith that I fell in love with! This tree is so versitile and easy to use. I love all the little stamps you can use to embellish the tree! You will be seeing more of these from me, as I have a few other ideas in my head that just need to come out!

So, thanks for looking and have a great day!!!!
