Composition Book Cover

This is my first try at covering a composition book.  I really like the concept, but I'll have to play around with paper and where to layer, etc. I don't want to put too much on the outside that will get damaged, but I kinda think this one is a little plain.  Just can't figure out what else I want to put on it.

 I'll be trying a Christmas planner next that I saw on eighteen25.   I hope they will sell for the holidays.

Post it note holder with pen

Who doesn't LOVE post-it notes?!?!!  Here is a sample post-it note holder I made with some old Stampin' Up! Designer Series paper and a pen from the $1 bin at Staples.  I definitely plan on doing some more of these in the future.  It was so simple to make and would make a nice addition to someones desk or purse.

Halloween is coming

I don't usually do anything for Halloween, but I saw these m&m's and had to make these candy tubes.  They are white chocloate candy corn m&m's.  Not sure what they taste like, but they turned out pretty good.  Enjoy!

Here's a close up of the toppers.  Since I don't do a lot of Halloween I didn't have Stampin' Up! stamps to use.  These stamps are out of the $1 bin at Michael's craft store.

Nugget candy wraps

What a great way to say thank you to your Stampin' Up! customers and show case the 2011-2012 In Colors AND the new It's a Wrap Occassions stamp set!!  Whew! 

I plan on making a few more so that each guest at my SAS this coming Friday can have more than one or two.  After all, not only are they adorable but they are tastey too!

PS: Contact me if you are interested in having some of these at your next party, baby or wedding shower or need some stocking stuffers!!!

Christmas pillow boxes

I am really loving this new Cricut cartridge.  Here are the Christmas pillow boxes I promised.  These of course can be made using a ton of different kinds of paper to suit your likes or needs.  This is Stampin' Up! designer paper from last year.  These are the perfect size for regular gift cards.

 Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing any for this holiday season.  They are only $1 a piece (plus shipping costs if they will be mailed to you).

Pillow box

Here are a couple sample pillow boxes I made with my new Cricut cartridge (Wedding).  I don't know I'll use the cart for much else and to be perfectly honest I bought it soly for this cut.  I plan on making some in Christmas colors/paper tomorrow so if you need some gift card holders for Christmas or any other occassion, contact me.  The one on the right is the perfect size for gift cards!!! 

I can go larger too so if you have a gift you want to give in a different wrapping than normal it'll work for that too. I'm thinking jewlery or any other small gifts. I can also do smaller ones so if you are in need of Birthday or Wedding party favors for mints, candies, kiddie toys, etc. I can do those too.

Contact me today to place your custom order.

Grandparents Day card

Grandparents day is next Sunday and I made these cards for MY grandma and the girls' Oma and Opa. 

 I love making shutter cards, but they take a good bit of time and paper.

 It's easier if you make several at one time (which I did).

  Hope you enjoy.

Michelle's graduation explosion box

So now that my niece, Michelle, has graduated I can finally display her explosion box. This box was the PERFECT size for a square necklace box to fit inside it. So her gift was not only the cute Hello Kitty necklace I bought her, but the decorated box which included several great quotes.

Here are the pics. Hope you enjoy.
