A New Year !

Hello Friends,
Well the New Year has started and with that new hopes and dreams and New CREATIONS wooohooo!
I have not had a lot of time yet to start any fantastic projects, but a few simple ones is all I have to share at the moment. My hope for the new year is to learn how to do this blogging thing better. Get a better camera to do tutorials, learn how to make those darn tabs on my blog (been at that all day and still cannot get it ) and meet new friends while doing this blog. But the most important thing for me is to enjoy creating projects, that has to come 1st for me or this blog has really no purpose. Anyway I hope you enjoy the projects that I make. I always value your comments and suggestions and hope it brightens your day just a little.
Looking forward to a wonderful New Year

 

I made a Receipe box for my daughter for Christmas and she wanted more things to put on her walls cuz she thought this cartridge from Kates Kitchen was great and my granddaughters love it too. So I scraplifted this 1st one from sweetsassydiva-gspot.blogspot.com and put my own twist on it and then added it to a wooden plaque so it could be put up on the wall or put on a stand.


All these images are from Kates Kitchen Imagine cartridge. There are very simple to do...its pretty much done for you with the printing and cutting out. Its up to you how you want to display or create a project out of these images. Add a few emblishments...Ribbon, Glossy Accents, Glitter, Pop Dots and you have another quick project done.

A CUP of JAVA

Have you ever bought one of these to go cups at your favorite Coffee Shop and they cost an arm and a leg. Well here is one that will cost you $1. And if you happen to lose it somewhere hhhhmmmm, well you can just make another one. Makes a pretty good and simple gift as well.



I bought this mug from a dollar store. Added stamps I liked to craft paper and there ya have it. Could not be any simpler and you certainly could make many different styles.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY PRECIOUS NEPHEW

I wanted to make a special ornament for my precious nephew Jeph who went to be with the Lord last year and give it to my sister and her family. I made a simple one last year and my sister said when she went to put it away after Christmas it broke and she was devastated. So this year I had a chance to make a nicer one...Jeph loved argyle and plaid so that is the papers I chose. Also I got this very nice ornament box at our favorite (Hby Lby) to keep it safe and of course a card to go with the ornament.
I love and miss you nephew. You are forever in my heart




Christmas Tags

 I don't know about you......but I'm so full of glitter and glue I look like an ornament myself! Every year I make a gift tag that's a ornament for the next year and this is my favorite this year. This one is for my 10th great nephew Landyn who is almost 4 mo and his 1st Christmas.
This is from the Snow Angles cartridge I cut the coat at 5" and the mittens at 2". Glossy accents on the buttons and flocking on the lapel and pockets. I think this is just fun!!
Wrapping paper always gives me inspiration as to what tag to make. Embossing the snowman a few pears for eyes and buttons and s ribbon for the scarf. For the life of me I cannot find the cartridge I got this snowman from and have looked 3 times...maybe I'm getting a little worn out,  hehe

SnowFlake Broach

Hello Everyone, 10 more day's till Christmas and I can imagine you are all very busy. I was making a snowflake the other day out of Tim Holtz Grunge Paper and when I got done with it I thought it looked like a piece of jewelry so that is what I decided to do, make jewelry!
