Friends!!!!!!!!!!! and SWEET STUFF!!!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope that you are well and enjoying your week. Things are finally settling down for me so hopefully I will have much more time to craft and play!!!

Today is my turn to post over at the CutCardStock Blog and I would appreciate it very much if you would visit me there. Our theme for the month is FEMININE and I have made a CAS card with a couple of tutorials which are NOT my original ideas but I have seen them both all over Cyberia. Many times those things we see require dies and punches and tools. Hopefully you can replicate these ideas without the use of tools, etc.

This is the card that I have made and have given instructions for the dresses and the large bow over at my posting at the CutCardStock Blog. I would love for you to come over and tell me what you think!!

SWEET STUFF!!!

This time I would like to offer the following SWEET STUFF for my followers:

1 Pack of Stardream Metallic Neptune (Red) Paper (25 sheets)
1 Pack of Flat-Back Pearls
1 Pack of 4" Wilton Doilies

All you have to do is comment on my posting at the CutCardStock Blog letting me know what you think of my instructions and project!! The winner will be drawn on Saturday morning from the comments left on my posting at the CCS blog. Good Luck and Thank You!!

Thank you all so much for dropping by today and I hope to see you again real soon! Until the next time I send big hugs to each of you!!!

Heart Bag for All Occasions...WINNER!!!!

Hello, friends and Happy Monday!!! It is so nice to be here! I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and, for the US folks, are still having a great weekend!!

Today is my turn to post at the CutCardStock Blog and I have made a little Heart Bag and have shown how it could be used for more than a Valentine's Day project.

Although I have used a Sizzix die for the little favor bag and the die is discontinued, I have given you complete instructions which I think you will be able to use to replicate the project in whatever size you wish. So please come over to the CutCardStock Blog and let me know what you think of it!

Tea Boxes and SWEET STUFF!!!

Hello to all of you!!! And I can say that it is a joy to be back in the land of the living. If you read my last post you will understand why I have been missing in action and out of commission for several weeks. I hope that your past weeks have been much more pleasant than mine have been. BUT things are looking up.....FINALLY!!!

Today is my turn to post on the CutCardStock Blog and for December we are using the absolutely gorgeous Stardream Metallic Collection. For my project I made a couple of Tea Boxes--one quite simple and another more decorated...

For the blue one I used Stardream Metallic Vista CS and POW Silver Glitter paper. The NOEL is a small ornament and the dimensional snowflakes were made using the Layered Snowflakes Die Set and the Snowflake Mini Seal Die from Whimsy Stamps.

For the pink one I used Stardream Metallic Bluebell (Blue Topaz) CS and Stardream Metallic Rose Quartz (Pink) CS. For the floral treatment I used various mulberry flowers from WOC. The pregathered blue lace and the pink braid are from my stash. All of the other embellishments are from the beautiful Tilda (of Norway) Tiny Treasures paper pad and dimensional sticker pack. I have long been a fan of Tilda of Norway! As a matter of fact I met this Tilda at about the same time I met Tilda from Sweden. My first purchases were made possible in 2006 after I contacted the designer of this sweet Tilda of Norway, Tone Finnanger. She was so helpful and such a delight! These Tilda products are now available in the US and are offered by the talented and kind Traci Savely in her magnificent Art Attack Shop. I'm sure you will fall in love with these sweeties too!!!

I hope you like my projects and will let me know what you think of them. I have given a complete tutorial and more pictures over on the CutCardStock Blog and would love to see your creative take on my tutorial.

SWEET STUFF!!!!

Thank you all so much for dropping by and I hope to see you again real soon!!! I am so appreciative of all of the positive regard, kind emails, sweet messages, etc that I have received!!! Until the next time, I send big hugs to all!!! 

WINNERS!!!!

Hello, everyone! I hope the past several weeks has been much more pleasant for you than it has been for me...Gosh!!! I had the oral surgery to extract two molars and a bone graft and shield with about a pound of stitches (it feels like) and have been back a couple of times for stitch removal in my mouth. At least I was in the twilight zone so I didn't know what was happening UNTIL the feeling started to come back...EEEEEK!!! Then if that was not enough, last Tuesday I had to go for my check up at the Cancer Center, and was informed that I had to be at a hospital in Asheville on Wednesday for yet another twilight time for some unmentionable surgery. Believe me, two knock out sessions within a month and the resultant aftershock has kept me out of commission and missing in action for these past few weeks!! BUT, things are finally beginning to look up!!! Whew!!

But I need to let Mr Random.org name the two winners from my last posting...so here you go...

KT Fit Kitty
