Christmas Cookies


I made these cute little boxes for my daughter to give to her friends filled with cookies. They turned out so cute. Cuts from the From My Kitchen, Christmas Noel?and Winter Woodland carts. I used the boxes from the corsages that the girl's got for the homecoming dance.

Christmas Teacher Gifts

I made the teacher's gifts this year a hot chocolate feast. The brown bag wrapped gift has A Child's Year cut on it. This is the box of Swiss Miss packets. The bottles have chocolate "chips" and marshmallows(steam cut From My Kitchen). The peppermint sticks were wrapped with ribbon and the "stir" cut is From My Kitchen. The inexpensive bag was blinged with a cut from one of the Christmas carts(I've forgotten). They were quite a hit.

Blue and Gold


My son had his Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquet last night and he needed to make a place mat. Boy Scouts is celebrating 100 years this year. We used cuts form Wild Card, Home Decor and Plantin Schoolbook. I think he did a pretty good job. And, of course, I'm going to use it in his scrapbook.

Geography Bee


I did this for a my LSS. My son was in the school Geography Bee so I wanted to scrap about it. Inside the Passport I wrote all the answers to his questions he had to answer along with some travel stamps. (Wish I had pics.) And I put his picture in from the bee. The outside is decorated with cricut cuts. I used my I-top for the little, blue bird brad. Man I love that thing. I stamped the black, luggage tag with gold and added the coin for bling.

Valentine's already?



I haven't taken or had the time to post in almost two months. Where does time go? Part is I started a part time job and that has thrown me for a little bit of a loop. I've been over volunteering for years but most stuff could be done from home when I could squeeze it in. Now I have to go to a place of business and be dressed and showered!! Anyhow., I haven't stopped crafting just blogging about it. So for Valentine's day I had to decorate thos cute little Target mailboxes and make a jar of kisses for display. And a cute Valentine card. Don't you love that frog?

SPCC Challenge


SPCC #27 has a fantastic challenge this week that fir right into what I needed to do for the new year. I etched a picture frame with 2010 (bottom right hand corner) from the Graphically Speaking Cartridge. The clock face and hands are from Wild Card. Cardstock stickers are from Scrappin' Sports and More and the fibers are from EK Success called Tonal Adornments. I used three of the seven fibers in the pack. I attached one on the outside of the frame because a corner of the glass broke and I wanted to hide the crack. It ended up looking like New Years Eve fireworks! There is room for journaling your resolutions or you could put a small before pic there of the ever popular lose weight resolution. I also added some silver star brads to coordinate with the embellishments from Me & My Big Ideas New Years soft spoken pack.

SPCC Challenge


The challenge this week was to use violet, red and white. I used this cute snowman off the Hello Kitty Greetings as my inspiration. He is cut at 4" with all the layers. The script words are from Winter Woodland. Snowy cut at 1 1/2" and greetings cut at 1". Oh I need to dust. ;^}
