Good morning everyone! I found some super cute stamps at http://www.allthatscraps.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=2ad66e87992de7cb5fce999385712ca4&keyword=lucy I love all the fairy stamps. This stamp made me think of my neice Maggie; I figured it would be perfect for her birthday card. Here is what I used to create the card: stamp: Swiss Pixie Lucy and Woodland Mushroom envelope size: 6x9 Recollections card base: 12x9 : Recollections Kraft pattered paper cut at  2 1/2x4 from K&Company Itsy Bitsy solid background paper is both from (old) SU Hope ya like it!:0)

Good evening everyone! My son helped me make a card for his Uncle tonight. We used the Pagoda cartridge to cut out the bamboo, dragonfly, and kanji. The moon was cut using a round Marvy punch. The kanji says Prosperity in Japanese, I thought it was nice for a birthday card. The paper is from Recollections and (old) SU (yellow, grey, and teal). I let my son sew the card, not bad for a 8 1/2 year old!:0) Have a great night everyone!;0)

Good evening everyone! I know it is a bit early....but here is the "start" of my Teacher Appreciation project. THE CARD:0) These little cards are for my son and daughter's specials teachers..... I say specials...but that also includes Speech, OT, Principal, Vice Principal.....etc. Where would we be without them, right? My son  helped me today too! He loves the craft room.:0) Ok, here is what I/we used to create the cute little apple cards. I used the Gypsy to weld two little apples from the Recess Lite cartridge. The size of the cards are about 3x4, I thought it was just right to put in a cellophane bag with treats.;0) All the cardstock I used is from Recollections (ie Michael's). We tied a little tag (EK Success tag punch) on the stem using Raffia. The stamp came from a set by Stampendous, the ink was the black ink from Color Box. I used some clear embossing powder from Personal Stamp Exchange. Honestly...I am not even sure if they are still around...I think my...

Yesterday I made a Valentine's Day card using the new stamps I won! I was so excited to get them in the mail. They are the first stamps I won.:0) I won them on Kate's blog http://smallbitsofpaper.blogspot.com/  a few weeks ago.

She has lots more really cute stamps on the site (above) as well. Thanks again to Kate!:0) Here is what I used to create my card. For the card base I used a basic white card from a Recollections card and envelope set. The background paper is from K& Company. The folder shape (Recollections/Kraft paper) is from : From my Kitchen. The grass (old SU paper) was cut using the Fiskars border punch. The frog is a cut from Live Simply cartridge. The stamp set is Build a Valentine from My Craft Spot. The ink I used is black from Color Box. On the heart I used a copic sketch pen (R29-lipst...

Good morning everyone and Happy Valentine's Day! I finished my first sketchbook. It is more of a prototype.....since I am not sure if I am done adding things to it. lol Here is what I used to create my sketchbook: the Cinch the Cinch designer book board (6x6) the Cinch sprial binding wire (bark 1.0") paper: Recollections (Simply Autumn)            Recollections (Kraft)            (old) SU            DCWV the Pet Stack cartridges: From my Kitchen (page tabs)                  Elegant Edges (pg. 59 ....book) In order for the tab pages (From my Kitchen) to fit in the book, I cut them at 5.92 x 3.47 (I use my Gypsy). I had to cut an additional piece for the bottom of the page at 2x6 and that was sewn to the tab. I used Creating Keeps...

Good afternoon everyone! I am wrapping up all Valentine's Day treats/holders for my kiddos today. I made a little Valentine's Day treat holder out of a tag from the Cricut TBBM (Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More) cartridge. I measured the bottom portion of the tag and cut a piece of Kraft cardstock and had sewn that to the tag. After I added the grass (used a Fiskars border punch), lake, grass, lily pad, and frog (all from Create a Critter) I used the We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper to round off the bottom of the tag. I used a stamp from Stampin' Up from the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and then attached the dragonfly I cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. The little eyes on the dragonfly are bling from iRock. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend everyone!;0) I am entering this in a challenge, here is the link: http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2012/02/throwback-thursday-challenge-episode.html

Good evening everyone!!! I got a little crafty today and made TWO projects.:0) The first is a little shadow box that has been sitting around my craftroom for a while. I am so glad that I finally made something to put in it.:0) My thoughts for this is.....try and make a seasonal shadow box. I know it isn't that close to Spring yet....but the weather in south TX tells me otherwise. lol Ok.....here is what I used for the shadow box.... Spring Shadow box shadow box: Michael's cardstock: Recollections, (old) SU, and DCWV Nana's Nursery (has the cutest designs!!!) border punch: Fiskars Cartridges: Spring Fever Holiday (SPRING) and Create a Critter The second project I worked on today.....is a paper heart ornament I am pretty sure I picked up at Michael's. I was "going" to put the frog, lily pad, grass, and lake in the shadow box....but it was too big...so it is here on the ornament. Here is what I used in the project: paper heart ornament: Michael...

Wow! Two posts in one day....whew! I had a layout in my head and really wanted to create it. Ever been there? I saw a post on a blog a while back....I want to say Inking Idaho....but can't remember. Anywho....they used (thin) corkboard as an embellishment. I used a Spellbinders die my friend sent me for my birthday today.....with corkboard I found at Michael's last year. I was surprised how well the Spellbinders cut through it. There is just way too much fun to be had with the Cuttlebug. lol Here is what I used: die: Spellbinders apple cardstock: DCWV cardstock: (plain) Recollections card: Recollections heart button: Michael's Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend!!!!:0)
