Super Easy Favor Box

Looking for something fun, different and easy to create? This little box is perfect! It uses one 8.5 x 11 sheet of CTMH's Tulip cardstock and a few scraps. I did randomly stamp the background with Spot on Backgrounds, it doesn't show up in photo, but it's really cute. The stamps you see are from the exclusive new Everyday Celebration card kit you can buy or earn free (link to the right) for a limited time. The adorable dash ribbon is from the Sweetleaf Ribbon Round collection. I plan to make a dozen of these for my daughter's 3rd bday party. Now I just figure out what to fill them with. If you'd like directions send me your email and I'll forward you a tutorial link. I won't spam you promise!

Let's get together in the kitchen

I am on a mission! A few weeks ago I decided to conquer one area in our home/life that needs organizing each week. Well one of those areas was my recipes. I have been holding on to this metal tin I bought with my sweet sister in Baton Rouge at a wonderful scrapbooking store a couple of years ago, yes really that long ago. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it; I just didn't get around to it until recently. I really love the results. Here I used a wonderfully easy Close To My Heart Recipe Kit for the insert dividers and recipe cards. The Paper is a CTMH paper kit that coordinates called Let's Get Together. I'll be happy to order you one if you'd like to make your own. One tip in case you plan to make one... I found was using the large Xyron to make the paper a large sticker worked really well. It sealed the paper to the tin and will make it last a long time. It also kept it from bubbling. I have a Xyron 250.

Kreative Keepsake Box

I just love this paper packet. It's so versatile. I made this Treasure Box for my son and I love how it turned out. I have to admit I scraplifted this from Chris Green a fellow CTMH'er. It's a great way to keep items from Taylor's baby days. If you'd like to try one, the blank box is only 6.95 before shipping and handling. I'll be happy to order one for you.

Thank you Quickie Card

Here's a great card to make when you want to use your scraps and only have a little time.

Time Flies when your having fun

I was inspired by Michelle Zindorf today. She does beautiful work and it always stirs my creative juices. Today I pulled out my trusty brayer, dusted it off and inked up for this card.

Here I used Close To My Heart's Make it Count and Free Spirit stamp set, Black, Sunflower, Crystal Blue, Moonstruck, Olive, White Daisy and Autumn Terracotta ink. This was a quick card to make and fun to boot. I hope you enjoy it. I plan to send it to someone I love as a thank you for being the world's greatest sister and friend.

Moondoggie!!!

Oh what a fun day this was; what a beautiful way to remember it. I just love how this layout turned out. Tuesday of last week my parents, grand-parents, the kids and I went out for a fun day on the Pascagoula River. We spotted mom and dad osprey feeding their babies. Until then, I'd never seen in person a bird caring a fish. On that trip we saw two! The kids had so much fun. This was Taylor's first boat trip and he gave it two thumbs up. I am looking forward to our next boat outing.

These two pages were created during my Hostess Rewards Club that met last Friday night. They were created with Close To My Heart's Moondoggie level 2 paper paper pack, Extreme Happiness stamp set, Building Blocks Alphabet stamps, Elegant Script Alphabet stamps, Cranberry and Desert Sand Ink, and their new Journaling Spots. I'd be happy to help you create the same or similar layouts. Just ask me how.
