Design Team Thursday #10 ~ Joy's Life

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is Joyslife.com's design team Thursday. She wanted us to design something with a St. Patrick's Day theme. I made these festive little boxes that hold cookies, for the occasion.

The pie box was cut from a svg that I purchased from myscrapchick.com.

I used Make-the-cut to welded a shamrock to the top of the box, this created a window. Then I created the frame so that I could cover the edges of the clear acetate window.

The shamrock tag was cut at 2 3/4" and the sentiment is from the All Around Sentiment stamp set. I placed a cookie inside the box and tied the box shut with a piece of jute twine.

I love how it turned out. :)

Have you seen Joy's two new stamp sets yet?
They are so cute! I can't wait to get my hands on both sets!

She is offering FREE SHIPPING right now! Click here!

Tomorrow is the start of a new Let's Face it Friday challenge! I can't wait to show you the project that I made.

I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Thursday!

Today is Joyslife.com's design team Thursday.

I decided to make a 3-d card this week.

The papers are from Papertreyink.com and Cosmo Cricket.

The card base is from this svg cut file, I used Make-The-Cut and my Circut to cut it out at 5". I adjusted the svg file to create the two inset pieces. The flowers are a rolled rose cut file that I purchased from Shelly's blog. Again, I used Make-the-cut and my Cricut to cut them out, they were cut at 3", 2" and 1".

Alex and I made a video showing how to make them. Click here, if you would like to watch it.

The sentiment stamp is from Joyslife.com's Mother and Daughter Stamps.

The twine is from The Twinery.

Create a Book Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Create a Book Blog Hop!

Today just happens to be March 2, which just happens to be "Read Across America Day" and in honor of the day we, at Joyslife.com, have decided to create books. If you have arrived here from Amanda's blog then you are on the right track. If you would like to start at the beginning, then click here.

I decided to make a book for my nephew. This is not my original idea. I saw a similar book, that someone made about 5 or 6 years ago, somewhere online. I made two for my BFF's two boys, for Christmas that year. She pulled them out a couple months back and we were looking at them. I had forgotten how cute they were.

So this blog hop was a perfect reason for me to make another book, for my nephew.
