Circle Box

the box file is from Kassandra Schroeder of  thepaperden here posted on the Make the Cut Forum to see what we could come up with it. She is a Stampin' Up Demonstartor, she and her husband design the boxes. If you have not been to her site go check it out she has some unique designs.

Bear files are from MyScrapChick . They have some great sales every now and then. Used Stickles, made the roses on the ledge of the box, and a heart embossing folder on the large pink heart. 

Mug of Treats

template by Sherry Graves.   Used Penny Duncan's Hydrangea leaves and crimped them, some Stickles and MS branch punch. Made the roses and used another file called Fluted Rose, that is the flower underneath the rose.   I download it from  Heather M

I put some crimped paper in the mug and I will add a few more treats, wrap in cellophane with a bow and tag. I think I will give it to my mom from my son for Valentines Day.

February Projects

Heart box all made with paper, except for the ribbon LOL. I created the MTC file,  made the heart from white card stock and adhered patterned paper, also made the roses and chalked them, added some micro beads.

The leaf scrolls are from the Cindy Loo Cricut Cartridge. The leaves are from Penny Duncan's  here Hydrangea svg file. Used some Stickles on the leaves to give them a little sparkle. LOL

A couple Christmas Projects

 I made a good bit of ornaments this year for gifts and also to sell.

I did not mail out Christmas cards this year and only made a select few, for parents and therapists.  This is one I managed to take a photo of.

Projects completed recently

This will be a long post, LOL. Here are some projects completed over the last couple months. I apologize for the bad lighting on some of the photos. When I can't sleep I craft and often take the photos in the early hours of the morning.

                                             

For a challenge on the MTC Forum in 2010. We had to alter something in our home with vinyl. It was fall so I chose a pumpkin. Cut using my Expression and the program Make The Cut.

First Post....

It's so nice to hear the birds singing again, spring will be here soon. YEAH!!

So many have been asking lately if I have a blog. I had one previously and decided to create another one. I will  try and post weekly or more depending on how much spare time I have.  This will be a place where I share my creations and whatever else I may have on my mind, LOL. It needs dressing up and I will be updating it as I go along.

Thank you for stopping by
