Memory Book Box

Hi Everyone!

Is time just flying by or what...It's time for a new Challenge  at Simply Create, our theme for the next 2 weeks is "Shades of Black".   You can have other colors with at least 2 shades of black/gray.

I have been hoarding this SU DP for eons and decided this would be the perfect time to use it.  At our last crop Gail showed us all how to make these gorgeous Book Boxes.  Thanks Gail! 

I kept the design pretty simple, I wanted all the cute DP visible.  Of course I used my favorite tools...had to use my Cuttlebug and some Nesties and distress the edges.

I am keeping this Memory Book Box for myself.  I will be keeping some of my Mother's treasured black and white photos in it.

This was really fun to make, the crimping was the hardest part...yikes, it ate my paper!  I crimped the edges of the box.

I am entering my Memory Book Box into the following Challenges:

• Crafty Cardmakers Anything Goes
• Cuddly Buddly Anything but a Card
• Hooked on Crafts Anything but a Card
• Meljens Use a Ribbon
• Polka Doodles Ribbons & Bows

"What's New?"

Hi Everyone!

Wow, can you believe that fall is here.  Yikes  I am not looking forward to the time change.   I hate going to and from work in the dark...wah waah and double waaaaah.  Ok no more whining from me.

I got a some new Tim Holtz embossing folders so I just had to make this card to try it out.  I thought it would be a perfect match for  Stitchy's "Steampunk Sally" digi.    I love the new embossing folder.  It looks so much better in person, it's kind of hard to see the gorgeous embossing on the black cardstock.

This is just a quickie post, I used all my favorite tools, played a little with my Copics...attempted make-up...practice makes perfect right.  I think it just adds to the Steampunk look...lol  She will go to one of my friends.

I am entering my card into the following challenges: 

• Anything Goes Die Cuts/punches
• Crafts & Me Use a Digi
• Crafty Cardmakers Anything Goes
• Craft Your Passion Anything Goes/Ribbon

WOYWW 122

Hi Everyone!

It's WOYWW time over at the Stamping Ground.  Check out Julia's blog and join in the fun.  I have been having some issues with blogger and commenting...yikes.  I have cleaned out my cookies and still can only comment on about 50% of the blogs I visit.  I am hoping it's just another glitch in blogger.

Anyhow here's my desk this morning, it's 1 AM and this is what I will wake up to.  As you can see I have been using my Grand Calibur.  I love it!  I am still making Halloween Cards...

I can't wait to go on blog-about and see what's on your work desk!  Thanks for stopping by, bunches of hugs
