Merry Christmas with CANDi

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Only one more day until the weekend! Woot Woot!

Today I get to share another project with you that uses that awesome 

CANDi! 

I love this stuff! It is so versatile and light weight!

For my project, I decided to make a card.

By simply adhering the CANDi turned over and layering them, you can create these amazing flowers!

Here is a close up:

I got my idea for my flowers from watching this video from Julie Hickey of Craftwork Cards.

Hello and happy Friday!

I am so excited! Today the very first challenge kicks off at Cut It Up!

 (as long as you incorporate a die cut in your project in some way)

Here is what I created for the challenge:

I used a a couple of different types of die-cutting on my card.

A 3D Project---A Krafty Girls Challenge

Happy Tuesday!

Are you guys ready for another awesome challenge starting today at

Krafty Girls?

Challenge #12 is all about 3D paper projects.

All you have to do is create a 3D paper project, how easy and fun is that?

I decided to make a little gift box filled with candy to give to someone to cheer them up a little and maybe put a smile on their face.

I cut my box out of the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge. It was cut out at 9". I cut it out twice so that I could have the top flap be in the coordinating paper. I simply cut off the flap on my second box and adhered it to my plaid box. I stamped my sentiment and then used my spellbinders dies to die cut that out and adhered that to the front. I offset my sentiment a little so that I could add that pretty little flower. The flower came from the Flower Shoppe cricut cartridge and I cut that out at 2.75". I added some sheer ribbon for the closure and some pretty little pearls in each of the corners. I think it came out so pretty! Although I have to admit, my eyes keep going to the candy haha!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

Scrapbook Layout On Canvas



Happy Wednesday!

Today the Joy's Life DT is showcasing those awesome Joy's Life stamps in scrapbooking.

I knew what picture and what I wanted to do as soon as I heard the assignment.

I absolutely love this random picture that was taken of me and my hubby. It really captures who we are and what we are like everyday. Needless to say, it is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us.

I decided to make a layout on a 8x10 stretched canvas to display in our bedroom.

I love how it turned out! All I did was make a typical layout and then I adhered everything to the canvas. Really easy!

This sentiment from the Tag You're It--Set Two set from Joy's Life was perfect for my project.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation! I really appreciate it!
