I Am In The Mood For Christmas

I like this better!

Well here it is, after a little ribbon and some brads I think the card is now complete. Don't you think?

This is a christmas card that I cased and I just loved it when I saw it, but after I made it i decided that it's missing something. So I have to figure it out, maybe some ribbon. I don't know but when I figure it out I'll post another picture of it.

Halloween cards

I am not big on halloween cards, don't get me wrong I love Halloween but it's just not a holiday that I send cards out, but i bought this cute set to make something else and I got online and saw these ideas and I had to make them.

Another Find

If your a scrapbooker or a card maker like me you probably have alot of brads and eyelets and that sort of stuff, well my problem is that I don't have a good way to store them and then I forget what I have. Well I went to Jo Anns to look for some cute Halloween decore, and of course I had to go down each isle and as I did I came across this storage container filled with jewelery beads and I thought to myself how cool. So I picked it up to check it out and thought I could get this for all my brads and things like that. The price on it was 19.99, and that was just too crazy to get but then I noticed the clearence tag for 6.97, well of course I got it. Now as you see all of my brads and eyelets are all organized and I am able to see all that I have. So anyway I just thought I would share this with you.



Pretty Cool Huh?

September's Card Swap

Last night I went to Holly's house for our card swap.There were 7 of us and we all designed a card and brought all the materials to make the card so by the end of the evening we all went home with 6 different cards. Here are the ones from last night.
The card i made for the class is the one further down the page thats orange and red with flowers.

An Idea!

I worked a double shift today and while i was busy, i started to think about the cards that i wanted to get done and then i got this idea in my head for a card. So when i got home tonight around 9:10 pm i ran into my craft room to make it. This is what I came up with,I think it turned out pretty good. I used the masking technique that Holly showed me. What do you think?

Hmmm..Which One???

I came up with two possible cards for a card swap we are having this month. I want to know from you which one you like best.

I Am So Ready For Fall

My Handmade Ribbon Box

I was organizing my craft room the other day and I came across two boxes of ribbon and the ribbon was just thrown in there, no organization at all. So i decided it was time to do something about it. Well i had seen ads in craft magazines for these boxes to hold your ribbon on, and the ribbon feeds through the bottom,i really liked the idea, so i began to look for one. Well after going to many craft stores and alot of time looking I came across one at Roberts, but they wanted 60.00 dollars for it and i just didn't want to pay that much. So one day i was in Micheals and i spotted this crate type box, and this fabulous idea came into my head MAKE MY OWN. So I did. It's not as fancy as the 60.00 dollar one, but you know what i like it and it has my ribbon organized and thats what i wanted. The whole project was under 10.00 dollars. Plus I really enjoyed painting it and making it my own.

As many of you know I love to do crafts, so I decided I needed to create a new blog so that I can display all the crafty creations that I have done. Here are a couple of cards that I have done and I am sure there will be many more to come.
