Goodies!

Good Afternoon!

So lastnight I had a great time with my friend. We went shopping and I spent about 4 hours lurking around crafty stuff. Here's what I got... from the $1 store... 6pk of photo frames to alter, mini clipboard, and 3 buckets, more coasters. Then I went to wal-mart, where I got my first bottle of modge podge, and 5 yes 5 cuttle kids dies on clearance! They were the 4pk dies. (I use the cuttle kids for now, until I can justify buying a bigger machine... we'll see how that goes) I also got a baseball card collector album to put my dies in and I plan to alter it. I'd love to take pics of all my goodies right now.... but what hubby doesn't know won't hurt him ;)

I also received my trade from Splitcoaststampers... Circle of Friendship. Be on the lookout for future photos using all of these supplies!

Hope you enjoy and I'll see ya tomorrow!

Thanks

Good Evening/Night!

Sorry this post is so late. I had a great time with my friend and did get to go shopping! However, my "natural light" has gone to bed for the evening, so I'll have to share my goodies with you tomorrow! Today's card is a thank you card, that sort of just came to me. I have this paper pack that I've been trying to use up. I really don't care for the designs much, but it was given to me for free, so I figured I'd use it covering coasters, and chipboard etc. The actual card piece was one of the solid colors out of this package and it reminded me of Rose Romance. I cut it to 6x6 and scored it at 3. Then I took the flower pattern of that same color and cut it to 5 3/4 x 2/34. Stamped the word "Thanks" and assembled. It was really very easy. It will also fit in a standard mailing envelope which measures 3 5/8 x 6 1/2. After the fact I realized I should have added some ribbon somewhere, but wasn't sure where to put it. Any ideas? I will be making more of these in the future so be prepared! :)

Hope you enjoy and I'll see ya tomorrow with my goodies!

My hubby is the greatest! He knew I was going to be late getting home tonight, so he took the picture for me! Isn't he wonderful??!?! Thanks honey!!

Pen/Candy Holder

Good Afternoon!

Hope you had a great day. I learned how to make this from Dawn's Stampin' Thoughts here. They are so fast and easy... once you get the pattern down you can probably whip up 100 of these in an hour.... not that you need to. ;) I thought these would be really fun to make for "Back to School" gifts. Dawn uses snail adhesive on the bottom of hers in her video. I would recommend using a small piece of sticky strip as mine keeps coming apart at the bottom. I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about the color scheme... but I have a ton of yellow cardstock that I'm trying to get rid of.

Hope you enjoy and I'll see ya tomorrow!

(P.s. My post will probably be pretty late tomorrow, I having dinner with a good friend of mine and then we're going shopping! Hopefully I will come home and have some goodies to share! )

New TAC set

Good Afternoon!

Today's card is similar to the "Thank you" cards I made for the baby gift. I recently received a new TAC set (The Angel Company) and I wanted to get it inky so I went with this. I really like the design.

Hope you enjoy and I'll see ya tomorrow!

Origami box

Good Evening Stampers!

Today's project is an origami box. I learned how to make this box from Dannie's Designs Blog. She has some awesome videos. I made my box a little bit bigger than the one she makes in the video. I used a 12x12 piece for the lid, and a 11x11 piece for the bottom. I would recommend using a 11 3/4 x 11 3/4 for the bottom instead of the full inch difference. The reason being, the bottom of my box keeps falling out. Also, I found the center of my paper by folding it... I don't recommend you do this because you can see the lines in your box lid. Other than that, I am really happy with how it turned out and can't wait to make a bunch more! I know this one is a little plain, not sure how to finish decorating it yet.

Hope you enjoy and I'll see ya tomorrow!

This lil piggy

Good Afternoon!!

Hope you are having a relaxing weekend. Ok, so I bought the Cuttlekids machine. I have been dying to play with it, but couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted to do with it yet. I bought the animal dies that they had at the time, and will get more when they are available. I think he is just the cutest lil thing.. what do you think? The sentiment I got in a grab bag at a rubber stamp convention. I *almost* tossed it, but figured I'd be able to use it eventually....

Hope you enjoy and I'll see ya tomorrow!

Baby Tin (inside)

Good Evening!

Remember the baby tin I showed you a couple of days ago? Well I finished most of the inside gifts lastnight. I made this cute little brag book, and 6 thank you cards. I was originally planning to fill it with thank you cards, but really wanted to use my bind-it-all, so I made the book.

Hope you enjoy and I'll see ya tomorrow!
