Happy Valentines to you all.......

2011-02-14T08:28:00.000-08:00

Here is my last valentines project for this year. I have been hoarding these Starbucks bottles for sometime now; so i finally altered them and the box with different SU Dp papers and ribbons. For the heart on the front of the box I used SU's hearts and brackets die.

Goodmorning..

2011-02-13T09:07:00.000-08:00

Here are some valentine treat boxes I made for my son 's playschool class. I used the new petal cone die from SU , it is super cute and can see myself using it much more in the future.

Hello....

2011-02-10T09:58:00.000-08:00

Here are the valentine's I created for my daughter grade one class. I wanted to keep them simple and on the smaller side, so I used the SU sweet treat circle and heart cups just directly attaching them to the paper, then stitching on some punched hearts and valentine tag to spice it up a bit.

Well I made it back

2011-02-08T13:19:00.000-08:00

I really wanted to keep this card black and white but of course the red made it way in with some coloring to the little girl as well.

again today , and I have some valentine cards to share with you. I really want to use my owl punch for a valentine card and well I think he turned out just fine. enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Wowzers yet again.....

2011-02-07T09:14:00.000-08:00

I am keeping all my crafting treasures to myself.. LOL Well to ease myself back into my blog and re-learn how to use it agin Iam just going to post a few cards I created recently , then I have a few valentine projects Iam finishing to post. thanks for stoping by.

On to Christmas now.........

2010-11-06T14:40:00.000-07:00

Here are two projects I have created lately , the first is a Christmas ornament made from a 4inch Styrofoam ball and Stampin ups candy cane Christmas fabric and buttons, detailed with Su's rhinestones as well.

The second is a project I have been wanting to try for a while now; a scrap sac I also used stampin ups candy cane Christmas fabric and buttons on this as well. The inside is just an old pillow case. The little bag is filled with sand , the i decided to glue a piece a tat non-slip material on the back as well, just to make sure it hangs over the table( or counter) without slipping off.

Hope you enjoyed the pics and thanks for stopping by.

What more Halloween .......

2010-11-03T13:51:00.000-07:00

Well here are few more Halloween oriented items I would like to share with you ; First is a Halloween card I made for my Mom, using the greeting card kids stamp set, also i used spotted window sheet and I embossed the chipboard circle to get a shinny black. second I though I would also share the Jack0o-lanterns we carved Saturday evening for Halloween; I thought it would be cool to use some different templates this year and I think they turned out great and I hope you like them too.

Also....

2010-10-28T10:11:00.000-07:00

Here are some Halloween treats I created for my daughters grade 1 class using Su's candy wrapper die, although maybe more more work than 6-7 year olds might need they are cute and I enjoyed creating them and think I masted folding that die now , LOL.

Now I know I seen the little mummy can somewhere I just cant remember where, so I hope I did a good job re-creating it. Once I finished the mummy can I wondered what else can I create in the same fashion and I think the Stampin up peach in-color ribbon did just the job for the pumpkin; I'm not quite happy with his face but he still turned out o.k.. Taylor's teachers will be receiving those.

Helloooooo............

2010-10-28T09:48:00.000-07:00

Well yet again it has been forever since I have visited my own lowly blog, but I do have a few small projects to share with you. here are some simple bags I made using the Stampin up favor box die , I filled them with mints and candy corn to put on my mothers thanksgiving table.

Then on a different note here is a card I came up with just fooling around with the SU inspired by nature stamp, hope you like it.

2010-09-30T15:21:00.000-07:00

I thought today I would share with you a little gift set that I created for a friend of mine. Includes a cocoa holder, chocolate holder, picture holder, magnets, and a altered tin for buttons. Its funny now how over the last several years how a plastic or tin container cannot be thrown out or recycled without it be thoroughly thought over it if could be altered into something great or not to bother, LOL .

Falling leaves...

2010-09-10T09:51:00.000-07:00

Here is the card I made to go with my sister-in-laws diaper cake for her baby shower. I had bought a yellow party dress for the baby that is covered in lace, pearls ,satin and flowers so I used that as my inspiration for the card.

I used delightful daffodil , vanilla and suede paper, vintage wallpaper folder, boho flower punch, matching ribbons, the top note die , pop dots, and co-ordinating pearls.

2010-08-19T15:01:00.000-07:00

Well here is something I have always wanted to try , just never had the reason; but now have a beautiful niece. One thing I didn't realize is how long it was going to take me to roll 130 diapers and then decorate the "cake "after that..

And please for those who have made these before no laughing, hehehe
