Recycled Baby Food Jar!!!

Good afternoon,

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and if your lucky enough to have today OFF in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. then maybe you'll have some time to stamp today. (happy dance) I'm actually have more in the line of cleaning up my stamp room and some computer time to put in before I get to stamp.

This cute Baby Food Jar was one of our projects that we did at an Upline Meeting on Saturday. This would be great to put your pens for customers next to the order form at a workshop, class or open house and for all you others, on you desk, by the phone or where every.......
It's a strip of Designer Series Paper, Ribbon, Sticky Tape, Bead Duo, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Flower Fusion, Rhinestone Brads and a piece of Cardstock for the inside of the jar.

Have a great day thanks for stopping by:

Small Post It Note Holder

Good Afternoon,

Oh my, I had so much fun making these little Post It Note Holder. Don't know where the one I found on my desk came from. It's old and made with retired DSP and stamp set.

What better to do than to up date. New In Color and DSP and NEW stamp set. I love how they turned out. I did take pictures as I made them and will post the tutorial as soon as I complete it.

Right now it's 10 degrees and partly sunny out side. Like "sunny" makes a big difference. I think if we had snow I'd feel better about the bitter cold. Bring on the snow......

Ink: Basic Brown & Pink Pirouette

Top Note Bag

Good evening!! I wish I could post in the morning.....but this is when I have the time after dinner here is the post for today....

Today's project is a CASED idea I seen on a blog during Christmas, not sure of the exact one, if any of you know where to give credit please tell me. It is made using the Big Shot and SU Sizzix "Top Note" Die. It takes 2 [one for the front and one for the back] and a small white paper bag. (a brown one may have been better) 1/18/09 Update: This may be where I seen it as I love Chic n' Scratch you can click HERE to find a sample and much more......this is one Awesome blog.

I was not able to make them until I found a little white lunch bag in one of my drawers. It was like finding a pot of GOLD. I immediately thought of these cute little Top Note Bags. I did have to get creative I wanted to make more than one.

I cut from the bottom at 2" then created a bottom with the upper portion and voila two out of one. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping in....

Connie's Gifts from her Secret Elf!

From the previous post you all know that I was Connie's Secret Elf. One of the gifts I gave her was a can of Cashew's I couldn't give her the Planter's can with out a little something added. So this is what I did in a matter of minutes as that was all the time I had before heading out the door to work that morning.

Nothing like waiting until the last second....to my advantage the paper and glitter were all ready out on my work table and I had an idea in my head. Here it is!!







I think when she got this one it was not hard to guess who her Secret Elf was. We had so much fun doing this I hope we do it again next year.

Enjoy and have a great day,

Box full of Cards.....

I played around and made the boxes then thought I cannot sell them empty. 3x3 cards fit inside I made these with the stamp set Holiday Tag Team (retired) and some scraps of paper and my punches. I stamped the tree on tissue paper and put the cards in the box. Scroll down and you'll see what I came up with.








Enjoy and have a great day,

Jar of Snowman SOUP....a chill is in the air!

Snowmen are my FAVORITE love them.....and Snowman Soup I love to make. These little jars are form IKEA. I got them over the summer when I redid my Studio I use them for my brads, buttons and etc you can see what's in them and they sit on the shelf and look cute. Well, just had to give it at try and add a new twist. Sold a few of these on Saturday. So all you need is a jar, Cocoa, Marshmallows, small peppermint stick for the soup, punches and ribbon and print the poem. They're are a few different poems out there that you can use.

Enjoy and have a great day,

Nugget Tins

On this one I had to be creative. I don't have any tins and no time to order any but wanted to have some to sell. Light bulb moment.....these are empty tins from Stampin' Up!'s Build-a-Brad. Six nuggets fit perfectly. They are easy to make I used Sticky Strip on the outer tin and cut Designer paper to fit both bottom and lid outer sides. Also, cut a piece to line the bottom of the inside. Almost forgot cut some small pieces of DSP for the Chocolate NUGGETS. Took some ribbon and there you have it.

"LOVE in a Milk Carton"

WOW! what a day we had yesterday getting ready for these events is time consuming and then it ends so quickly. Nikki and I did well considering the poor showing in comparison to previous years. I'll be posting pictures of all of the items that we had and a few pictures of the layout. I'm posting this because "Becky Roberts" posted to my blog. She's the milk carton creator. You can check out her AWESOME blog HERE. So Becky here is my "LOVE in a Milk Carton" This is part of a STAMP camp that Nikki and I are hosting.




Hope your having a great day, thanks for stopping in...

Santa here HO! HO! HO! and Frosty too!

These little books were purchased a few years ago at Wal-Mart for .98 cents during Christmas. I embossed on them and made a few up as gifts and put the rest away. As some of you know I recently organized and re-pained my Stampin' Studio and now when I need something I know right where to find it. (I found all kinds of goodies during this revamping) Anyhow, this Extreme Home Party event has me making things like crazy this is one of them. Hope you enjoy.

I do want to apologize for not posting a "recipe" at this time. Hopefully after Saturday I can come back and post some tutorials and recipes.

Thanks again for stopping by....
