2nd Guest Designer project

I am back, a little later than planned, but here it is! I wanted to make up some type of box to hold a tie in for a gift....typical Father's Day gift. Terry and I discussed it and decided that the cupcake box dimensions would work best, and we were right! I made some diamonds for the sides and paper pierced around them and just added some ribbon along the top of the box. I also used the insert on the bottom of the box so the tie would sit higher, you could always add a pair of dress socks in here too!

Thanks for stopping by today and I will be back again either this weekend or early next week with my next project for CC&M.

Teacher Appreciation

This week is a chance to thank the teachers and staff at the school my girls go to, so this year I made the scallop envelope boxes for all of them....6 this year! Both girls have rotating core classes, so they see all of the 4th and 6th grade teachers each day. It is nice for them to get used to changing classes and teachers, but boy...making all of those gifts was a bit of a challenge for me.

I used my polka dot paper from PTI which the girls picked what colors each teacher would get and then they picked out the base color. Once they were assembled, they helped me pick out the ribbon for the top of the boxes. We filled them up with 1 post it note pad and some chocolates which the teachers loved!!! One of the teachers wants to know how to make these, so she might become a new customer...how fun!

Thanks for stopping by today and this weekend I will be posting my second project for Creative Cuts & More, so make sure you come back!

Cake time!

I was asked to make a wedding cake for a cousin and today is the big day! Here is the finished cake....I usually don't do cakes, this is only my 2nd one for a wedding. I do hope that the bride likes it!

Tomorrow I will show you what I made the teachers for appreciation week!

1st Guest Designer project

Here is my first project that I came up with about a month ago when I started to figure out what I was going to do. My theme for this month is Father's Day so since my Dad is Mr. Fix It, I had to come up with a clever gift card holder! I am in love with this stamp set from SU! and the apron card from Creative Cuts & More, they work so well together! I got a little crafty with all the tools that I cut out (it really only took a few minutes to color and cut them out) and decided to make the tape measure clip onto the outside of the apron....it turned out SO cute! There is paper piercing between the tools, it is just hard to see. My husband is loving this project and the other one that is finished...but you have to come back later this week to see that one!

*I do see that my girlfriend Jen who is also a designer for CC&M has a very similar card to this one posted....great minds think alike right!!!!

New projects coming soon....

I got my Creative Cuts & More order yesterday and already have one project done! I am going to a crop this weekend with my Mom and I got something fun to play with from CC&M...you might be seeing more of it often as I LOVE it!!!

Just wanted to let you know that I am on the way back to normal and should be posting stuff more often soon.

What a long week!

I was hoping to keep up with some new posts but had to put that on hold for now. My FIL passed away last Saturday after a long 18 month battle with leukemia. I am a very lucky person to have known him and also for the fact that both my hubby's family and mine have gotten along so very well over the past 13 years! We have been able to spend every holiday together as one family which has been very nice for us and our girls. He will be missed, but we know that he is in a much better place and are glad he is no longer suffering!

I do hope you will forgive me for not posting right now, but I will be back soon as I just placed my order for my upcoming guest designer spot with Creative Cuts and More...

Bridal Shower Card

Yikes it has been a long time since I have posted!!! I made this card in early February for a shower I went to, her colors were blue and brown so of course the card had to be blue and brown! I started with some blue Bazzil paper, used my new curvy rectangle nesties and some rubons from SU! and this is how it ended up. I really love the way it turned out, and it only took about 10 minutes once I decided what I was doing!

Thanks for stopping by today and I do hope to be back again very soon with something new!
