Happy New Years to you!!!

Hope you all had a great Christmas! I'm still recovering from losing my voice. I saw my doctor the day before Christmas and from then on, it was downhill all the way. I think my husband enjoyed the quiet days but I was going bonkers not being able to talk. LOL! I made this box last week after I gave up on another box that I was working on. I got distracted while looking at this die. This BAB die from Sizzix is actually quite cute and can be used on a number of things.

This box is called Box #3 and it was initially a Crafter's Home exclusive die but is now available to all the stores. It is a very big box and can probably hold a mini loaf of banana bread.This next box is a new die from Sizzix called ornate box. It's a smaller version of Box #3 but with a cut out window on the cover. I used some new girlie stamps from Hero Arts. I made a bunch of these to give away.I think I overdid the blush on her cheeks.I just have a few more to make and then I'm finished. Here's a photo of the side of the box so you can see the size of it compared to the first box on this post.

Well, I want to wish all of you a very Happy New Years and thank you for always visiting my blog!!! See you in 2010!!!

Happy New Years!!!

I finally have my new computer up and running and can now post to this blog. I didn't know how so many programs that I had on my old computer was not compatible with Windows Vista 64. I think I have been to Best Buy everyday since Christmas buying something else that I need to work with this computer. And today, I tried to load some photos from my Canon Rebel and it wouldn't work. So, I made another trip to Best Buy to get one more thing that would get my photos to load. Hmpff...
Anyways, I wanted to share this gift card holder that I made for Teri for Christmas.

The 3 dotted red background was made using the new Sizzix embossing folder. I love how deep the embossing shows up on the cardstock. All stamps are Hero Arts.

I've been busy working on some projects for another tv show taping for the Joy of Crafting. This will be the first "live"show taping and I'm getting a bit nervous since we will have an audience this time.

Hope you're all having a great New Year's eve! See you in '09!
