Box and Bag Swap

Good afternoon, hope all is well with you. I've been working on a boxes and bags swap. I decided to sign up for this swap so that I would finally try to make some of the things that I thought were really neat. I'm kinda of a chicken when it comes to trying new stuff. I always think I'm going to mess it up, so I don't try it. Well, I was forced to this time, and it worked out good for me. I decided to do the sour cream containers, and the ghiradelli box. We had to have stamping on them somewhere, and at least one embellishment. For the sour cream container I used parchment paper and punched a circle then stamped a cupcake, colored it, and glued it on there. I used a brad to attach it to the container. I used a gem in the middle of the flower and added a bit of glitter glue. I think it turned out very cute. But my favorite is the ghiradelli box. It was so easy. I got the box all done, adhered some dp and made the closure out of a small scallop square with a one inch square punched out on top of that. I stamped a cute little butterfly and colored it with bic mark it's. I used pop up tape and used that as a closure. I did use copics and bic mark it's on the cupcake. And the best part of all is: I used scraps for all of these-yay!! I have so many and forget to use them. Hope you like them, thanks for looking.

2 More Tags!!

Good evening, hope all is well with you. I've finally finished my final 2 tags. These were for the toddler and season group. For the toddler group, I used the giraffe from Imaginisce. The paper is DCWV baby boy stack. I used my nesties to cut the tags. I added a button and tied it off with embroidery thread. I colored the image with copics. I finished it off with an eyelet and fibers. The seasons tag was a little harder for me. I had one concept in my mind, but it didn't come out in real life. Again the paper is DCWV, and I added a felt flower on the side, finished it off with an eyelet and some fibers. I added class a peels sticker around the edges. Hope you like them and thanks for looking.

Tag Swap

Good morning, hope all is well with you. I have 3 tags to share with you. I joined a Tag Swap on SCS. We are supposed to make 5 different tags, 1 style for each group. I've made 3 so far, they are: Baby, Birthday, and Holiday. I've still got 2 more to go, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see them. The first one is Halloween. I used a free downloadable paper from The Angel Company, you can find the thread here. It was just put up yesterday and I decided to use one of them for the largest label. They printed out great. The next layer is DCWV, and the last layer is the stamp, it's from Making Memories. This came in a whole set of Halloween stamps. I used a black eyelet to run the ribbon through, and added a couple of jewels. The next one is the Birthday one. Again I used DCWV CS, and the dp is from my stash. I really couldn't tell you who it's by. The stamp(isn't it just the cutest)is one my mom got for me last year. I colored him with Prisma pencils, and added a little bit of stickles. The saying is from Studio G. I added a couple of jewels from Michael's, and an eyelet and fibers that one of my SS sent to me. The last tag is the baby one. This one was a little harder for me because I wanted it to be for a boy or girl. The little umbrella is an embossing folder for the cuttlebug. The green CS is DCWV, and the dp is Making Memories. I added some purple glitter glue to the center of the umbrella, and a few dew drops, and last but not least stapled some polka dot ribbon with a purple staple. Hope you like them, and thanks for looking.

Chocolate Challenge

Good afternoon everyone, hope all is well with you. This cupcake card was made for my SCS blogger group #2 challenge. The challenge was to use chocolate. So I immediately thought of a cupcake. Who doesn't love chocolate cupcakes? The image I got in a swap on SCS. All paper is DCWV, the ribbon is from Michael's. I used copics to color the image and stickles to highlight. I used blue dew drops in the upper corner. The silver glitter pen is from MS. Hope you like it, and thanks for looking. Have a great day.

An Adorable Ducky Journal

Good evening, hope all is well with you. Isn't this duck the cutest? It is a suzy's zoo duck and I received this image in a swap on SCS, so I don't know the actual name of it-sorry! So I made this journal for the challenge on the Cupcake Craft Challenges Blog. This weeks theme was Spring-anything Spring. I actually started making this journal for last weeks challenge, which was in inspirational picture. Although it didn't make it for that one, it went perfect for this week. I had a whole different concept in mind, but didn't work out. Oh well, live and learn. All CS is DCWV,and the Dp is making memories. I used my new nesties, not sure what they are called, but I love them. The flower and leaf stamps are from CTMH. The actual flowers are from Michael's. They are something I bought on stems. I used jewels from Kaiser Scrapbook. The glitter glue is Icicle Stickles. I colored the image with Bic Mark-Its, and copics. Hope you like it and thanks for looking. Oh, thank you for all the sweet comments about my poor Ashlee. You'll be happy to know that it is healing very well. We've been putting aloe vera on it, and have Vitamin E for after, so there won't be any scarring. Thanks again for your well wishes.

Altered Pail Swap

Good afternoon everyone, hope all is well with you. I've finally got something to post-yay!!!! After the holidays, my computer died, and then I couldn't find my camera. Does anyone else have these days, weeks, months, or is just me?! LOL Anyway, I received this pail with all these wonderful goodies in a swap I did on SCS. This was the first swap like this that I joined up for and let me tell you it was so fun!!!! I got this from Ms.Rhetta, she did a wonderful job. I got several studio G stamp sets, pop dots, candy, Michael's GC in the cutest little holder. She also sent these little glass bottles, that are darling. I got a set of empty ones, and a set of ones that were filled with glitter, and small dewdrops. She sent several rolls of ribbon, and a nail bottle with brads. Thank you Ms.Rhetta, I loved everything. Have a wonderful day everyone.
