Halloeen candy jar

I made this Halloween witch treat jar! Easy and fun.

I had my first workshop!

We made the two cards above. Three of each design! We had 7 hours of fun! The ladies received the poinsettia stamp set with the kit. All this fun for $30.00!

Scrapbook layout on canvas

Here is a scrapbook layout placed on a piece of canvas. I am trying to come up with an inexpensive idea for parents day. We would make one for each student to give to there parents. Once again I used the Tim Holtz tattered floral die. I also used the new Martha Stewart doily maker punch.

Tattered Floral Die from Tim Holtz

Look at these cute hair clips! I made them for the girls in my classroom (Kindergarten). I used the Tim Holtz tattered floral die. This is my favorite and most used die.The material I used was fleece. They came out perfect!

Card Challenge #3

Here is the third card from Papers Craft Magazine issue March/April 2013. This card is found on page 36. The patterened paper strip are 3/4" wide and have a 3/4" circle attached to the top. What a great idea!

Easter card

Here is a cute Easter card! The idea is from paper crafters magazine page 26.

scraplifting challenge

So I decided that when I received a crafting magazine I would make the cards/projects I liked the best. Of course just using the design. I think it is called scraplifting. So here is card 1 found on page 24 of the paper crafts magazine from issue March/April 2013. I marked 10 cards from this issue. It is time to get busy!

Hexagon embossing folder card

Here is a cute card! I used the hexagon embossing folder for the white background. I then embossed patterned paper and cut out the hexagons. I then put two flags on the right side. Next I stamped Happy Birthday and punched it out with the hexagon duo punch and layered it on the larger hexagon.
This is where I saw the design of the card.

Water bottle tag holder?

I made these cute water bottle tag holders! I made Valentine tags to put in the inside. I also put the bracelets in the tag holder. I made oreo cookie truffles (sorry no picture) for my coworkers and gave them the water bottle gift. Here is a link on how to make the water bottle tag.

Paper Bead Bracelets

I made a few more bracelets for Valentine gifts! I still haven't made a perfect paper bead but I am practicing. Now I am off to make Oreo Truffles as part of the Valentines gift.

Valentines Day Card

Here is a cute Valentines card I made with Stampin' Up products. I used the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and framelits dies. Let me know if you would like to order the bundle for $36.95. I used Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise paper. I embossed the Tempting Turquoise paper with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder $7.95.  I used Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Real Red Ink pads $5.95 each. I stamped and cut out the shapes with the Framelits dies.
Let me know if you would like to place an order.

Paper beads

I had so much fun making these paper beads! This was my first time making them. I found several YouTube videos that were helpful. Here are two of the videos I found. How to make paper beads
and paper beads with b'sue. Now go have some fun making your own paper beads!

Using Stampin' up products!

I wanted to make a card using my new Stanpin' up products. The pattern paper is from the paisley petals pack. I matched it with marina mist paper. I also used the cajun craze striped ribbon and ink. Using Stampin' up takes out all the guess work on matching the colors.

 

While in California we spent time with family. We visited the San Juan Capistrano Mission.The picture was taken at the end of the day in Starbucks. 

Christmas 2012

Back to scrapbooking for me. I haven't designed a page in two years. We celebrated Christmas in San Diego with Monique and Bobby. Julius met us there (he is going to school in TX). We had a great time and I thought let me get these pictures down on paper. I still have other pictures to scrapbook. It took me forever to do these two pages. Hopefully the next scrapbook pages will be easier for me.

3d paper ornament

Look at the paper ornament I made! The picture doesn't show the tulle very well. I was attempting
my version of the Stamin up ornament. This was my practice one, I am off to make more! Just looking at the picture I know what I need to change. Thanks

Give Thanks Collage

I made a Thanksgiving collage as part of my decorations. I am going to stain the frame so it is a little darker. I am going to make one crafty decoration for each holiday. I usally make banners, but I like this just a much. Click on the picture to enlarge.

sour cream treat boxes

Look at these cute sour cream treat boxes! It is hard to see but then ends are crimped just like the Wendy sour cream containers.They are so easy to make. Here is a video.
Also you can go here to get the directions. Have fun making your own treat boxes.
