Yogurt containers

One of the projects for the last Saturday of the month Boxes, Bags, & Tags class is this really cute yogurt container. It uses a 5 x 6 piece of Designer Paper so you can make 4 from one sheet. It uses various punches and is filled with Hershey nuggets. There is still space in this class to be held on September 27th at 10:00 am. Let me know!!

World Card Making Day

Join me on October 4th from 10-11 am to make 2 cards to celebrate World Cardmaking Day. The event is FREE and you will take one card home and we will deliver the second one to a local nursing home for the residents to send to their family. RSVP by Wednesday, October 1st so I know how many cards to prepare. Place an order and choose a freebie from my "new" sample basket. Win Win!

Our craft boxes with acrylic sleeve

I finished the 8 boxes that come as a kit. Craft boxes with acrylic sleeves. I used the Christmas DSP houses. They are perfect to create a belly band. Added linen thread and a tag. These are for the Craft show in November.

Tea Candle holder

How cute is this? Pootles.uk designed this cute little box. The box holds 12 little tea lights. If you are lucky enough to find the colored/scented ones it would make this project really cute. This one shows the Christmas Designer Paper and Real Red card stock. I will have these at the craft show on November 15th at St. Pauls Lutheran church in Warren.

One of my favorite cards

I just love the colors in this card. It is so simple and so easy to make several at a time. Always a good idea, that way you will have a supply for those last minute card needs.

Hand Sanitizer holder

Love this little holder for the mini hand sanitizers. I used the scalloped topper punch and ran it through the big shot using the chevron folder.

Turkey treat holder

This is another craft show item. It is filled with Reese's pieces. I've used Stampin'Up!s cello bags. Cute, cute, cute!! It is pinned on my Pinterest page.

Another lollipop holder for the craft show

This is the third holder I've made. So easy and what a great favor for your Thanksgiving table. It uses the retired blossom punch but I'm sure you can come up with another "feather" maker.

Same project, different version

Here is another version of the lollipop holder. This one is for Christmas. So simple and so cute.

Another craft show project

I bought lollipops at See's candies in Las Vegas last year. Finally found a way to package them. I love this little holder that uses the scalloped topper punch.

Craft show projects

Wow....I can't believe the problems I'm having posting to my blog. I get the pictures taken and then can't seem to post. I'm working hard on changing that. Today's pictures are of a project I'm doing for a craft show in November. It's a circus train that will contain a package of Animal crackers. I used Coastal Cabana and Chalk talk.

Cuteness

How cute are these 2? QBeesquest has a tutorial for both of these little projects. How perfect is the apple for your teacher? Of course, I've told you my daughters mascot is an Owl so I'm looking at lots and lots of owls. I'll be doing lots of these in the near future.

Happy Anniversary to me!

Today is my 9th anniversary with Stampin'Up! I can't believe it. I love this company and a huge hug to Meg Loven who introduced my upline, then me, to the wonderful opportunity. I love scrapbooking and paper crafting and this is such a good fit for me. I would love to introduce you to Stampin'Up!

For my project today I used the A Little Sumthin' Sumthin' Simply Created Gift Box. (133794 $13.95) The kit makes 10 pillowboxes and will hold a gift card or a small treat. Really really cute.

Project Life

One of the newest products Stampin'up! offers is an easy way to do memory keeping. It's called Project Life by Becky Higgins. Albums, inserts, and embellishments to make an album in an hour or two. Just insert the cards into the pockets, add your pictures and you are done!! Pre-fill out the cards before you go on vacation for the places you will be visiting and you will know when and where you need to take a picture. Love it!!

A Parliment of Owls

I've got the box almost full of owls to take with me to my daughter's. Working on a few little items to add to the box. These were a lot of punching, but fun to make.

Finished project for daughters students

This is the finished project. Thank you to Barbara Welch for her swaps for convention. I used the retired pillow box, 1 1/4", 1" and 3/4" circle punches, 1 3/4" scalloped punch and the triangle punch to finish the project. Soft Suede, whisper white, tangelo twist, and in neutrals designer paper complete the supplies. I put a large pink eraser in each one. I love how they turned out and can't wait to hear her students reactions.

Gifts for my daughter's second grade students

My daughter was recently hired as a second grade teacher. These are the pieces of the gifts I'm making for her students. Can you guess what it is? I'll post the updated project tomorrow. I've used the retired pillow box die, Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White, and Basic Black cardstock, plus a touch of Hello Honey.

This is one of my favorite cards from past classes. I love the Baked Brown Sugar and Pink Pirouette combination. We used the Petite Petal stamp set and punch. Such a delicate card that can be used for any need. I think it would make a beautiful wedding invitation. I'll work on that and post a picture when it is finished.

Project Life products.

I am looking for people interested in memory keeping (NOT scrap booking) or any burned out scrapbookers who want to document their photos without draining time, energy and wallets.
