Matchbook Note Pad



Yesterday I found this cute little Matchbook and thought it would make cute little gifts for some of my friend coming to visit from out of town which I have not seen in about 30 years.  We are all in for a shock to see
how we have change through the years.  Should be fun...
Anyway I purchased this from www.myscrapchick.com  and today I saw on Diva's this challenge.  WOW it is perfect.  I got the Tic Tac Toe...

Peeps In The Garden



After last week with all the projects I had going on I am feeling a little Crafters Withdrawals.
  Today I am back in my craft room playing again.  
My husband had a little accident working on the Table Saw and got a kick back from the Ply Wood he was working on.  30 stitches later he has been unable to do his normal cooking and baking so I have taken back the kitchen for a while till he is able to use his hand again.  He is going crazy.  That is his passion.  Cooking and Baking and Shopping.  How lucky am I.  It is all good though  he is healing ok. 

Supplies Used

I decided to do a second project for you only because I was having so much fun making all those beautiful flowers.  This time I made a card using Gold Foil which I embossed with a new folder from Anna Griffin "Roses"
I then used gold glitter to emboss the same beautiful words.

Simple Things In Life



Hi and good day to all. This is another Design Challenge over at CTM. The other day I received my new Cuttelbug from HSN. It was a today special from Anna Griffin but the best part was all the beautiful embossing folders it came with.
So for this challenge we are to dry emboss or heat emboss. I used one of my new folders which is all roses, just beautiful. Then I stamped and water colored my design. Love mixing different elements. Hope you enjoy. Keep crafting...
Supplies Used
Anna Griffin folder-Rosa
Water Color Paper
Flower Stamp-Stash
Tim Holtz-Distress Inks
Life is Beautiful Stamp-CTM "Cherish This Moment" collection

Happy Birthday


Hope everyone is crafting and having fun.  For this card I designed it in the Silhouette.  It is
an A2 card. I used a scalloped design and welded two together.  Sized the other two into 
smaller sizes and filled them in with digital paper from EP.  Even added the dash lines to the pink scallop.
Getting there and learning a lot.  Actually this was suppose to cut all together but I forgot to check the cut lines and it cut the black and white scallop and the pink scallop. After I put it together I liked my mistake.  Well they say we learn from our mistakes and I sure did...
