TRIANGULAR TREAT BOXES

I just wanted to pop in with a quick post to show you a few of the projects I have been working on for the craft fair.  These darling little boxes are quick to make and I'll fill them with some treats.  I tried to do a variety for people to choose from.    What do you think I should make more of: these little boxes, recipe cards, or stick with the greeting cards?  
Thank you so much for stopping by.

SPECIAL REASON~ FABULOUS ALBUM

 Sometimes do you ever make a project and it turns out way better then you expected?  Well here is this fabulous album I made.  I originally planned on putting it in the craft fair, but golly gee I'm so in love with it, I think I might keep it for myself.   I just have to decide how to decorate the inside. Should it be for pictures, favorite verses, or a prayer journal?   Any Suggestions?   Here are a few snapshots of the album.  I really love the spine of the little book, it looks so real.  I also like that there are pockets to store items in.  How super fantastic is that?

  If you are interested in making one of these super amazing albums for yourself check out this YouTubeVideo for a tutorial.  I hope you will give it a try.  I would love to see what you come up with.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

DAISIES

 Goodness Gracious... My last post for today.  Big exhale here, probably for you too my friends. 
 I just wanted to show you this spectacular card I made.  I fell in love with this stamp set at Michael's a few weeks back.  I didn't buy it originally so then I had to make a second trip back because I couldn't stop thinking of it.  My husband sure is good to cart me around.  He's like, "is there anything else why we are here.. how's your glue??"  aww.. isn't that sweet.    
The butterfly is a die that I had on hand and added to the flower. The lady bug I stamped came with this set, and I also added one of those clear dimensions to the flower center next to the butterfly, they come in all sizes.  I think it gives the card great depth.
🌼Thank you for reading my posts and being a friend.🌼

LITTLE JOURNAL BOOK


 Here is a little 3x3 journal I made for the craft fair.  I tell ya, I had high hopes for this little gem because I made a lovely 6x6 one that I will post tomorrow in more detail and share a link.


However this little one is from a different site, and it's not nearly as nice, because it's so tiny and bulky.  The one positive is you can make if from a standard size piece of card stock instead of the 12 x 12 as is with the nice one I'll show you tomorrow.    I don't typically buy that big paper so I was really excited about this little project, but nevertheless lesson learned.  I tried to make it cute, but I had to reinforce the insides with shipping tape to keep it from ripping open.  Perhaps I could try again but with less paper.  The instructions called for 8 but maybe 4 would be enough.  Well just wanted to share that with you too.  I figure some little gal might like to play with it.   


Thank you for visiting.

STAMPIN UP, PAINTED GARDEN AND BORDER BUILDERS.


 I tried out two of my new stamps set that I purchased from the craft fair. Border builders and painted garden.  I really like the border, I think it's darling.  I'm still working on a technique for the painted garden, but this is my first card with it, so we will see.  Not much out there on pinterest when the stamp sets are older. So I'm just going to have to get these creative juices flowing a bit to work something out.  I added a sweet dimensional sticker over the center of the flower.  My daughter found these for me.  They are from Michael's.  I took a closer picture so you could see it better.    I probably should of added some pearl drops to the butterflies too.. Well next time.

SO VERY MUCH/ FROSTED MEDALLIONS

I combined the frosted medallions and the, So very much.. stampin up sets for this card, and I think they worked lovely together.  I added two jewels to the center of my medallions to give it a bit of sparkle.   I wasn't sure if the Thank you would show up, but it worked lovely.  
 Very quick and easy card.

AVANT GARDEN

 Happy Birthday Avant style.  I really liked this card, until I went back and ruined it my making the center of the flower darker.  I didn't think you could see it very well in the first take of it, so I made sure to change that, I should of just left well enough alone.   Any ways.  I suppose it's not all so bad.  






I thought I would share this cute little photo.. It's exactly how I feel too.    I wonder how did that stampin up box get here.. wink wink.  

Hope it made you smile.  
Thanks for stopping by.
