Valentine Box and Card for Mom

Hi everyone!  I made a heart box and card from Graphic 45 Time to Flourish paper.  I used the stamp set from Sweet Sentiments.  I painted the box with Anique Mauve and Cherry Red Americana paint.  I used Martha Stewart Platinum glitter over the paint for shine.  I mod poged the box and then the G45 paper using matte mod podge.  I stamped the Sweet Sentiments Valentine stamps and fussy cut.  I pop dotted them onto the box.  I filled the box with my Mom's favorite candy-chocolate covered marzipan.  I also made my card from the G45 Time to Flourish line to match the box.  Thanks for stopping by.

Cricut Valentine Secret Swap

I received a goodie basket from MomtoMomof2.  She is so talented!  I love my handmade items.  I got a card organizer that is organized by month.  I love the cover.  She also handmade clay embellishments and alot of them!  Love them!  I received some of my favorite manufacturers:  Tim Holtz mini inks, metallic stains and mirrored stars.  MME Filled with Love 6x6 pad, and Jolee Valentine stickers.  She also wrapped all of my gifts with brown paper that was hand stamped with Valentine stamps and red and white twine bows.  So cute!  Thanks for all of the goodness!

 

FIL B-day Card

Finally had a break on Sunday and made this card for my FIL.  I used American Crafts 6x6 paper pack and my Tim Holtz stamps and trinkets.  I am pretty happy with this and hope my FIL likes it.

Craftroom organization in 2015

I need some serious craftroom organization in 2015.  I need another bakers rack-maybe origami and some serious embellishment organization.  The only thing really organized is my Tim Holtz trinkets.  I used Darice bead boxes to organize my trinkets.  I use photo boxes to store large Martha Stewart punches and TH Distress Inks.  I need a binder and Avery Elle stamp envelopes for acryllic stamp packs.  I use Darice round Craft caddy w/5 organizers for brads and charms.

Happy New Year 2015 to all of my friends and family!

Cricut Secret Sister Swap-Gifts I sent

My swap partner was GrannyAnne.  I met her at the Cincinnati meetup in 2011.  I was so happy to hear she was my partner for this swap since we actually met each other.  The handmade item I made for her was a shadow box!  My very first one!  I wanted to keep it for myself!  Graycie had to be in a picture of course.  Also a pic of my card made for Simple Stories paper.  On the box I used Everyday cricut on the block for letters and pics of cricut.  I also covered the c-7 ornament with red tinsel glitter.

 

Cricut 12 Days Swap-Day 1

Day 1 is finally here!  So sad but the last gift is always the best!  I just love it!  The glue box is great and already put to good use!  They also made me a sled ornament out of wood with my name on it!  This will be a keepsake ornament on my tree for years to come!  Please Thank your DH for this-he is so talented!  My DH is jealous of his wood working abilities!  The Mai Tai glass is great too (and has my name on it so no one else can use it) and looking forward to using it soon!  Thanks so much Mai Lei!  You are a great Swap Partner and so talented!  I just loved all of my gifts and will put them all to good use!
