is it that time already?

A while back I posted a kleenex box made out of the kraft paper with a snowman image on it. I decided to change it up a bit and came up with this one. I really like the way the red pops! I used the cuttlebug "spots" folder for the embossing and the stamped images were old stamps that I just happened to have four of. The letters were cut out of the Wingo Zingo sizzix strip and were just perfect for this. I used copics to color the images on the stamps. I even beaded my own charm. I even impressed the hubby...ok, not really...

doggy gift tags

Didn't these little stamps make the cutiest gift tags? The one with the dog says "I could wag my tail!" on the inside. Thought it would be cute on a jar of grape jelly or a plate of cookies. Just love that little Chihuahua...he has such buggy eyes and his hat was fun to color! I actually made about twenty of these little gift tags and I'll post more of them later.

I posted this just like it is and then I realized that BOTH of the cards were dogs! Oh, well, I mean the dog on your left...how's that...

clipboard

I covered this little clipboard with MME paper (don't remember the line), but it is one of my fav's. It's a little clipboard, so that makes it cute all by itself, right?

did someone say "re-purpose"?

I was going to throw these little containers out, but then while I was contemplating how cute they were (and eating my Jelly Belly's) I had a thought! The clear pillow container had ribbon in it and the other had pins in it. I will tell you that the one on the right has an easy open back on it-and the "jellies" change daily!

A Borrowed Idea...

OK, so the other day I was reading the SCS's newsletter and there was a question on "How do you organize your craft space" or something like that. I wasn't going to read it, but I was a little curious. My space is well beyond ever being "organized" in any way, shape or form, but I still had to check it out. One of the ladies had gone to Harbor Freight Tools and bought these little boxes. The rectangle one hold 12 small boxes and the square one hold 24 small ones. Well don't you know that Scrapin' Sister and I had to get to HFT right quick and check it out. And boy did we! We ended up going five times between the two of us. She used her's for brads and eyelets and I used mine for Fun Flock, Glitter and Embossing Powder. May have to go and get some more when they go on sale again!!

No need for a title here

I have a few (OK, a lot) of these little note pads that I bought at Big Lots! a while back. When I bought them I just knew that I could do all kinds of fun stuff with them! However, it's been almost two years and the idea's just didn't come like I thought they would. I thought of covering the note pads in several different ways, but each way had a problem (too short, too long, how to attach the cover) You get the picture...this was fairly easy (31/2 " x 12") and just fold it around like a matchbook cover. Use the red tape (you know the one) to attach the cover at the top of the pad. Then just have fun trying to figure out where to go from there! Good luck...

Road Trip

Yes, the sisters did San Antonio big time!! This is a picture of me, techno-sister and craftysister at the Stampin' Up Regionals in San Antonio! We had a blast! A big, huge thank you to techno-sister for the invite-it was AWESOME! We learned a lot of new techniques and I can't wait to give them a go! (That's for you, craftysister!!)
