Project Wednesday???

Okay - I was going to blame this one on blogger - again because my post didn't go up yesterday! After looking, however, I realize that I am to blame and I totally forgot to hit the publish button! That's what I get for trying to do 12 things at the same time!! Anyway - here it is:

This cute little creation is a card with an extra flap that can hold a gift card, etc....thereby making it a card and a gift in one! Pretty ingenious, huh??

But of course, I cannot take credit for it! I followed used a template to make it - which you can find over on the PROJECT TUESDAY BLOG. The paper is Bo Bunny (I think) and I love the way this turned out!

I added the little band to hold it shut and used my QuicKutz die for that big daisy! (One of my favorite dies!)

I left mine blank so I can personalize it for whatever occasion I opt to use it for! CUTE CUTE CUTE!! Be sure to pop over to the Project Tuesday blog and see what all the other members of the Design Team have created for you today!!

TREAT BOX!

Hey everybody!! Time for another Project Tuesday!!

I must apologize because I am feeling very late with this post - but here it is! I think this box is adorable!! It was inspired by Julie Buhler and you can find her tutorial for this gorgeious Treat Box with step-by-step instructions.

It's really easier than it looks! The hardest part is the window and if you have a Coluzzle or other circle cutter that does not go through a die cutting machine, but Julie explains it BRILLIANTLY in her tutorial!!

I actually didn't plan it this way when I started but I had picked out the paper first. It's in the Strange Days kit by mgl Studio (Yes, digital!)...I was then searching for a "prop" to put into and it soooo remind me of M & Ms that I ran to the store to grab some - just for the pictures of course (and yes, that is the story I am sticking with!!)

Be sure to link your creations onto the Project Tuesday blog!! We can't wait to see them!!

Project Tuesday - Gable Box

It's Tuesday - and you know what that means!! Another fun project for you over at the Stamps & Smiles Project Tuesday blog! Today we are doing a Gable Box, and you can find the instructions HERE.

This is a CUTE little project and it was quick and EASY! You need to run on over to the Project Tuesday blog and see what the other girls did!! Here's mine:


If you read my blog regularly, you know I am all about Digi right now and this project is no different! It was made using digital papers from Studio Ziska, where I am currently a guest on her Creative Team! This kit is called Playtime.

Just one other challenge to go with Project Tuesday today and that's for Daring Cardmakers who asked for bling/sparkle.

PROJECT TUESDAY!!

I am very excited to bring you my first Project Tuesday project as part of the Design Team! :) :) :) I must say this one was a little tough for me - I had never done something like this card before. Today's project is a Pop-Up Accordian Card. You can find instructions HERE!

I opted to make a thank you card for my son's teacher. My son Devin has ADHD and he is lucky enough to have a teacher with some extra patience.


Unfortunately, I was unable to get a good picture of the entire card open, but I think you can see easily enough how the card progresses. This was a fun one to make!

Be sure to visit all the other Project Tuesday girls! They have beautiful stuff for you to see today!

Sometimes I amaze myself....

Okay - I am a challenge junkie and I admit it....is that really so bad? It is when I make one project for SIX challenges! I think this one is a record for me. So, without further adieu, here it is:
Now, you may ask how it all started. Well here's the run down:

• It started with Triple the Sketch and Project Tuesday. I had previously done this bag for Project Tuesday a couple of posts back. It was such an easy and cute project. When I saw this week's sketch for Triple the Sketch, I was thinking it was PERFECT for a bag!
• The next factor was Our Creative Corner - use your favorite color combo. My favorite color combo is black & white with a POP of color. Doesn't matter what color the pop is...
• This was then followed by Stamp Something - Showers or Flowers. I might go back and do the showers too. I have an idea for that one as well.
• Scrappy Frogs was also asking for spring flowers. LOVING these flowers!
• And last, but certainly not least, the Pink Elephant asked for Mother's Day or Mom Birthday. Now my mother's favorite color was always red, so when I was picking my POP, I went with her favorite color

That's it - count them up! It's 6!! (Yes Dalis - that's more than a triple dip!)

Below is a detail shot on the flowers.

So thanks for stopping by. I might do a couple more of these challenges with other entries, but...I am liking that I could fit six challenges into one entry.

Project Tuesday

This "sweet" little bag was done for Project Tuesday over at the Stamps & Smiles Blog. It's their first project Tuesday and I must say I just LOVE the project!! It's this cute little Double Pocket Bag. You can put a card on one side or a gift card on the other...or anything flat really! Cocoa, seed packet...you get the picture! Here's another view of it:

I think all the papers are Sassafras Lass and the stamp is Unity - from their "Be Owl Mine" set. I thought it worked perfect on this little bag! Stamped in Blazing Red Stazon ink and colored with Bliss Blue! Adorable little buttons as flower centers and it's done!

I can't wait for next Tuesday and the next project! You know me - I love a challenge and I love 3-D items! You can count me in!!

As always - thanks for stopping by!
