ABC Book

Filed Under Digi Scrapping | 1 Comment

My son, Kyler, is 5 and learning the sounds that letters make. He does not like learning about letters!!! I thought that a fun ABC book might make the task a little more fun. And since I am currently on a digi scrapping kick- I decied to go that route. I used this kit. Here are the first few pages in the book…

Isn’t it fun?! And since all the pages are just 4×6- it will be really cheap to print at Walgreens or Snapfish!!! I can even make a couple extra for my girls!!!

I will be back this afternoon with stamp sets that I have for sale!!!

Have a crafty day!

Top Note Clutch Purse

Filed Under 3D, Big Shot, Stampin Up!, Tutorial | 3 Comments

After hours and hours of cleaning and organizing- I found a little time yesterday to craft!!! My room is still a bit messy. But I have taken lots of stuff out so I should be able to find a home for all the stuff that is currently littering my desk and floor!!!

Tomorrow, I am supposed to bring the ladies at my MOPS table a little gift. The theme of the gift is "something girly." My co table leader got them some lip gloss and nail polish and asked if I could make a box. Of course!!!! I think this top note clutch purse will fir the gift perfectly and it is very girly!!!

I used some tiny little maganets by Basid Grey to keep the purse closed…

Isn’t that fun?!!!!

I have seen lots of little purses and boxes in blogland- but I made mine up from my own crazy head. So here are the demensions.

-Start with a piece of cardstock that is 5×6

-Score along the 6 inch side at 1inch and 5 inches

-Score along the 5 inch side at 2 and 3

-Use sticky strip to put the box together.

-Use the Top Note die to cut the lid from DSP

-Score the top note at approx. 1 1/4 and 2 1/4

-Add large eyelets and a ribbon handle to the center of the top note

-Adhere to the back of the box with sticky strip.

-Add a small magnet to keep the purse closed.

-Decorate if desired!!!

Filed Under Digi Scrapping, Scrapbooking | 2 Comments

I have been busy, busy, busy cleaning out my stamp room!!! It is amazing how much SU! paperwork I had shoved in a closet!!! And I am getting rid of sooo much stuff!!! It is very exciting. But since you have to make a mess before you can properly organize a space- I have not been able to stamp or craft for the past few days : ( I can’t wait to get this finished so I can get crafty again!!!! But in the mean time, I have another digi layout for you.

I used the same kit as I did on my last digi layout. The best part of digi scrapping is getting to use the same stuff over and over witlhout running out!!! Fun! And isn’t my son super hnadsome?!

I best get back to the closet that needs attention!

Scallop Treat Box

Filed Under 3D, Big Shot, Stampin Up! | 1 Comment

I cannot believe that it is already Monday!! Where did the weekend go? My family was so very busy. I didn’t even get to touch a stamp : (  But I did take 300 pictures! I will have lots of stuff to scrapbook!!! But will I ever have the time?!!!

Today I have a cute little treat box to show you using the scallop envelope die and the Big Shot Die Cut machine.

Doesn’t it look so fun and "springy"? Since it was 90 degrees here this weekend- I am in a sping mood. The box is easy to make. You cut out 2 of the scallop envelopes and then trim the bottom flaps so that they are the same size as the side flaps. Then, just attach them with some sticky strip and decorate!!! I added some Tea Party DSP and a butterfly made with my Big Shot and the same DSP.

I am hoping to get a lot of cleaning done in my stamp room today so that I will be ready for my sale on Wednesday!!!

Recipe:

Paper: Tea Party DSP, Pretty in Pink

Other: Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Scallop Envelope Die, Beautiful Butterflies Die, Pink Taffeta Ribbon
