A Few Office Gifts

Hi everyone! Tis' The Season... So I have created a few little gifts to give out at work to my drivers since they are normally grumpy I hope this cheers them up :)



I will be entering this into the following challenges:

3 Girl Jam - Christmas Project
Love to Create Challenge - Winter Fun
Paper Pretties - Christmas Creation 
Paper Playtime - Winter Fun


So Onto My project!!!

 I wanted to make little gifts for them to make them at least smile. So I took Orange Tic Tacs and made a cover for them out of Christmas Themed paper and cut holes in them so they could see inside..
I stamped them with let it snow because of what I wrote inside each one also. It says "When it snows you will have Frosty's nose!" I used some crinkle ribbon on some and some twine on others as the ties. I love the ways these came out they are so fun to make.. now I cant wait to make some for Valentines day and maybe even more for Christmas!!  The stamps I used are from K Andrew Designs "Winter Wishes" set


I want to take a moment and say that I am thinking of each and every one of the families affected by what happened in Newtown. May peace find a way back to each of your hearts! <3 RIP Sweet Angels



<3 Until Next time

Do The Jingle Bell Rock Hop


Welcome to our Jingle Bell Rock Hop!!!! What better way to kick off the month of December than with some of our favorite Christmas and holiday songs!!!!
For this hop, all the talented Ladies have chosen a fave song of theirs and modeled their project after it in some way.
For our prize this time, one lucky hopper will be chosen to win a premade paper pieced set of their choice from Colleen at CBC Scrapbooking.

I have been hearing TONS of Christmas music everywhere and I love the song Let it Snow! So with that being said I have not done a paper craft this time I have done a decoration in preparation for my Christmas Decorating :)  And Yes this project I was also inspired by Pinterest (I cant stay away from it!) So when I think of snow... I Know I think of snowmen!!! :)

Here is what I came up with

 These are wine glasses from the Dollar Tree. Painted with White Glass paint then the red and green paints are just plain acrylic paints mixed with a little glass paint to give it a little depth. Then I hand painted the faces ( I know they aren't the greatest but these are my first two and it was a little difficult being that the surfaces arent flat) Then they just hold a small pillar candle and there we have it!  Cheap and fun and cute!


Now that you have seen my project make sure jingle on over to Tahi to see what awesome project she has made for you!

Coasting in to vote!

Happy voting day to you!!! Hope its not to cold or hot wherever you are :) The weather here is very brisk and chilly but i'm just happy its not raining right now.
Today is my day to post over at Getting Cricky and I wanted to share a very inexpensive yet cool gift idea that I was inspired by the wonderful land of pinterest!


So Here goes :)


So the recipe for this is :

a white ceramic tile from Home Depot that cost me .16 each
Tim Holtz alcohol ink in green and I used a slate color as the opposite
Then I used StazOn Ink for the stamps and I used K Andrew Design stamp set for the butterflies and the sentiment.
The Tree came from Michaels.

I then put a piece of very thin self sticking cork board as a backing to protect furniture and I got that at hobby lobby and used a 40% off coupon for that which made a whole role of it (small roll) for 2.40 which will make a lot so I am guestimating that it is only going to cost about .05 each coaster or maybe even less than that..

Then I sealed them with a clear coat sealer so that it would protect the inks and  there we go a coaster ready to use for under 1$ yay!!

I will be making these for everyone in my family and even my neighbors because I bought a whole case of tile when i was at Home Depot! LOL!!


<3 Enjoy!!!

I wish her all the best that life has to offer and I thank her for the great opportunity that I have had to grow with paper crafting and I met some very AWESOME ladies throughout my terms with her! 

I will also be entering my project into the following challenges:

I glittered up his leaves, stem and treat bag. I also Glittered up the shutters on the haunted house windows :)
The paper is from : DCWV The Midnight Spell Matstack
Then i distressed the edges of the white cardstock to give it a little extra spooky touch and

So for this I got the dimensions for a 1 nail polish holder off of Pinterest (yes i know i'm so addicted to pinterest lol)

I Then Inked the edges with a little black and stamped it with my K Andrew Designs Set Fall-O-Ween

Welcome to the Getting Cricky "Favorite Things" Blog Hop   
Each of us on the Design Team, along with some very special guests and friends, are so pleased to have you here with us!!  We have a special surprise for you at the end of the hop, so be sure to visit each blog along the way...  You'll end up at Kristal's blog where you'll get to JOIN the FUN!!  So let's get HOPPING to show you some of our "Favorite Things" about Kristal's stamps!!
If you've hopped along from Heather then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Lisa's blog (you'll want to catch up on all the FUN!!)...

This card was made from all my scraps in my scrap drawer :) Even the ribbon !
I did cut the fall leaf out with my cricut an outline cut and then I just added some pretty green glitter to it.
The "skittles" on my card were hand dyed by me.
I ran the circles through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder to give it a bit more texture.
The Sentiment is from the Fall-O-Ween set which I love not only because Fall is my favorite time of year but because you can mix and match and create so many different things with this set! If you don't have it yet it is one to add to your collection I promise you will love it ! :)



K Andrew Designs

Didja know?
Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS  Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!

MidWeek Post Simply Create Too

Hello All!! Happy Friday! Its been a great week here well.. a little cold lol but all in all a great week! I went to a Taste Of Home Cooking show lastnight and got to see them cook some yummy things that I cant wait to try!!! Also Today is my dads birthday and I will be taking him out for dinner tonight :) I admit it I'm a daddy's girl lol! Well onto my projects :)




I wanted to make some simple cards for this post because Simple cards are fun to make too
So for the first card I just used plain pink cardstock for the bg and then white embossed paper for the top layer. Then I used The ribbon along the bottom to give it a pop of color. The bow came on the ribbon which I think gave it a great extra touch.

The second card I used cream colored cardstock and its a mini card  :) I also used a tag punch for the inside tag . The pocket and all of the sentiments are from Pink By Design stamps.


<3 Until Next time!!!

Then I added a piece of that same Halloween paper onto the tablet inside.
I also used a cute black feather and some Recollections flowers and a green brad to the front to decorate it a little bit.

Chocolate Blog Hop!!!




Next to diamonds, chocolate is a girl's best friend and in some cases it may even rank higher than diamonds. This hop takes some neat approaches to chocolate so I hope you can take the time to hop through and see how these crafters expressed their love of chocolate.

You will start at Lorby's World (http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com) but make sure you make it all the way to the end because Tee at One Scrap at a Time is giving away two files from The Cutting Cafe (http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/) to one lucky winner. Tee will have all the details on how to sign up for the drawing when you arrive at her blog.

So get your box of hidden chocolate and enjoy the hop...


So for my project today I made a takeout container holding lots of chocolates YUM! :)
I used the Tags,Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge to cut the box...
The sentiment tag was cut with my stampabilities dies, then I added liquid pearls around it and
Stamped it with K Andrew Designs stamps.
I used a little twine so that it could be carried easier by my little niece :)

Enjoy!!

Thank you for coming today and now on to Lisa

The blank space in the corner will be used to write something cute about the pictures I place on it :) Enjoy!!!

Watermelon Crawl!!!


Welcome to The Watermelon Crawl Blog Hop! Who doesn’t like to bite into a red, ripe, juicy watermelon on a hot summer day? Yum!!!! If you drive down South, you can find people selling them on the side of the road, out of their pick-up trucks. I think these are the best, because they come right out of the garden.  You will always find a cute watermelon cut out at a baby shower or wedding shower, we eat them on the 4th of July, and we make sherbet and wine. You will find them in our kitchens; on our walls, curtains and cookie jars. And they are so darn fun to craft with.  Today we have some very talented women that want to share their watermelon crafts with you. So come do the Watermelon Crawl with us! You don’t want to miss anything so the beginning of the hop will start at Pamela's Blog http://www.kraftykatstampstudio.blogspot.com

The Outside of the card:
 The Inside of the card:

This card was so fun to make :) I cut the watermelon from the DoodleCharms Cartridge. The base was cut from Dark Green cardstock and the overlay was cut from a light olive color .. Then I just distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Ink. I made the gems on the edges and the inside from dying them with alcohol ink. I got the idea from another blogger (doubleclickconnections.blogspot.com) TY!!! :) And the sentiments came from K Andrew Designs

Back to School Time

Hello All!!!! Its been a crazy week here... weird weather .... lots to do yikes.. But it is time for another Simply Create Too Challenge... Theme is Back To School : (Stop over and join us!!!)



For this project I created a colored Pencil case :
I attended the UStream for a stamp release over at Pink By Design and we made boxes like these for the project. So i wanted to recreate it and make it into something for a school type vibe :)
I used all kinds of colors of plain cardstock because colored pencils come in all colors.  I Cut the Pencils out using my Gypsy and My Cricut  (there are also pencils on each side of the box. I also created a slider so that the flap of the box would stay shut and I wraped the slider with ribbon and added a pencil to it.
I added glitter to the centers to give them a little bit of bling and then I stamped them with my Pink By Design stamps .. I thought the sentiment was perfect for this box because colored pencils are tons of fun :)


I am also entering this into :
