Nowhere actually.....I had a major modem meltdown on laptop. Bought new modem for desktop which was already shot. Couldn't install it cause modem runs off motherboard so had to buy external. Now working and had to switch everything over to desktop. Luckily alot of my art was stored on an external HD. So...I will be uploading quite a bit today so grab a cup of java, sit back and enjoy!!!

Tremendous Thursday Challenge

Ok, it is Thursday and that means a new Product

Challenge at A Shade of Blue. I have posted the

ribbon stash you have and see what you can come up with.

You do not have to do this particular item but here is mine,

Now remember it can be anything but a card or

layout. I will be choosing 1 person to

send a special gift out ofthe entrys

posted at ASB. Ok, now get crafting!!

Thanks for visiting!!

Recipe Box Cont..

These are some of the section cards I made for this box. Can you say Christmas presents? :o) I printed the section names out with Word cause I wanted a pretty font.

these! Whatcha think??

Accordian Book

The inside. A really fun and easy project!!

This is all handmade except for the page inserts which are also from CTMH.
More mat board here.

This was also alot of fun to make!!

Well, that's about it for today and I really appreciate everyone visiting my blog!! I really like to show my work and hopefully inspire!!!

Some new projects...

Bag-a-lope

This was a challenge at ASB.
I made the envelope and then
made a couple of bags out of it.
These would be great for small
Christmas gifts!!


Paper: Paper Studio

Stamps: TAC

Ink: SU

Misc: Coluzzle, Ribbon, Metal Snowflakes, crystal Brads



More Ornaments

I LOVE making these!! Just soak your dominos in bleach overnight to remove the shine. Stamp your image and color in with Sharpies. Seal with a spray sealer. Used Red Line Tape to apply ribbon. You can also change the look of these if you soak them in tea after bleach. Gives them an aged look!!

Stamps: CTMH

Ink: Palette Black, Sharpies

Misc: Ribbbon, Red Line Tape, Bleach, Glitter Glue

Thanks for looking and I won't be gone so long next time!!!

Ok, how's that???

Thanks for checkin' out my blog!!!!

Origami and Vellum........

Ok, here they are!! These are so easy to make and turn out soooo pretty!! These can be used for small gift boxes, candy boxes, and I use them as ornaments on my tree. There are no brads used in these. The brads are there only for reference purposes. The brads are Reg. size Making Memories. I thought this would give an idea of the size of the boxes. They can be made any size using a square piece of material (vellum, cardstock, pp) of your choosing. Mine are made with printed vellum for top and plain vellum for bottom. If there is interest, I will post a tutorial.

Vellum: CTMH
Misc: Ribbon
