"Mothers"


Hi Everyone!
It's time for our new challenge at Simply Create Too. Our theme this time is another one of my faves.  I just love making stuff for my mom.  I had so much fun creating my Butterfly Mini Album!    Yeppers you got it,  that's right our theme is "Mothers/or female"!

Once again everything came from my endless stash! (except the pics)  Even the template I bought 3 years ago from Laura at Following the Paper Trail.  I only purchased the template and never used it until now.  


The cover bases are chipboard and the inner page bases are upcycled cereal boxes.  Each side has room for 4 photos.  The inside has 6 full butterflies when opened.  That's a total of 48 pics!








There are four wing tag inserts on each full page.  I decided to leave the front of each insert alone and didn't add any pics to them.  These pics really don't show how gorgeous the album really is.


Before giving this to my mom I told her I needed to make some copies of some of her favorite photos and I put them in the album for her.  It was a wonderful surprise for her and she loves it!  Thanks Laura for being so creative!


I am entering my album into the following challenges:


Hope to see you all join in the fun at Simply Create Too!

It's a Winner!


Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to share some more of the milk cartons and crates that I made.   


I used one of my Saturated Canary digis for this one.  Isn't she a cutie patootie!  Love the colors and how it turned out.



Too bad I missed the deadline to enter it into the SC color challenge...oh well life does get in the way...lol 

Made these for all those special kiddo's in my life.  They are the largest size cartons I could make with a single piece of 12 x12 DP.    Got some yummies and these cute little monkey's at the Dollar Store.

These are the tiny ones I made for my clients.

I would like to enter these into the following challenges:

Valentine's Day Hogs & Kisses



Hi Everyone!
It's time for our new challenge at Simply Create Too. Our theme this time is one of my faves!  That's right what can be sweeter than Valentine's or Hearts?  Well, adding chocolate to the mix of course!

I made these cute little Milk Crates with Chocolate filled Milk cartons.   Yum Yum!... well yummy for everyone that gets one...lol.  


I made the four crate sets in various sizes.  They were so much fun to make. You can find all kinds of Tutorials on You Tube and Split Coast Stampers.  


There are a lot of tutorials out there, just find the one you like.  I looked at several, combined what I liked and added some of my own alterations and measurements.  Who thought that math would be so useful in creating..


Everything I used came from my Stash, including this cute little SU Stamp.  My Cuttlebug, some die cuts and embossing folders got a workout.


I made this double crate out using this cute little Valentine Grumpy from Smeared Ink.  



This batch will go to family and friends.  I am making just single Milk Cartons for my clients.  I am debating if I shouldn't buy the Milk Carton Die.  I do so like sizing them to suit...what to do...


I will be entering all these yummy treats into the following challenges:

Happy Birthday Mel!

Hi Everyone!
Just want to share the sweet Birthday Card I made for my daughter Melanie.  I know she is an adult but at times I still see her as a teenager.

To me she will always be "Pretty in Pink" and sweet 16!.  The inspiration for my card of course is one of Krista's awesome digis and the movies, Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles!



Everything I used for my Tri Shutter card came from my stash.  You can find some wonderful tutorials on You Tube and Splitcoast Stampers.

I am entering my my card into Saturated Canary Challenge Inspired by a Movie.  By the way Mel loved her card!  Thanks Trista for making such gorgalicious images!!!!!

"Anything Goes" Booklets


Hi Everyone!
It's time for our new challenge at Simply Create Too. Our theme this time is an easy one.  What can be easier than "Anything Goes"! 

I decided to alter a few of my must have booklets.  Staying on track with my new goals for this year everything came from my stash.
I must confess that I went a little crazy over the holidays and my blood sugar went wacky!  Needless to say I am no longer in denial.  I have to admit that I am truly a Type 2 Diabetic, who does not want to give herself insulin injections!
It really was an eye opener.  I have to keep track of my carb intake and prick myself twice a day..  yeah ouch!  Naturally I had to craftify my log book and "Eat out Guide"..lol  

It is truly a happy day when I can treat myself to a fast food burger and 1 or maybe 2 fries.    I can really say that pricking myself is not, I repeat not one of my favorite things...lol  

At least now my altered books give me a little chuckle and are much nicer to look at.


I am entering my creations into the following challenges:

"Let it Snow"


Hi Everyone!
It's time for our new challenge at Simply Create Too.  Our theme for the next two weeks is  "Let it Snow".

I made these cute little mini albums for my crafty friends.  Everything I used came from my endless stash supply.    


Each mini was made from a single 12 x 12 piece of paper.  CeeCee made a great tutorial on YouTube here.  They were really super simple to make and turned out so darn cute!

I used all my favorite tools, my cuttlebug some MS punches, Nesties and some embossing folders.  My resolution this year is to try and use only my stash when I create.


I am hoping to put a giant dent or maybe deplete my supplies so I can make room and actually see what I have.


I will be entering my creations into the following challenges:

Stashy Christmas

Hi Everyone!
This is one of the batches of Pillow Boxes I made for my clients.  Everything I used came from my stash.  They were loads of fun to make.  What a relief to find out that I can still color within the lines, well mostly that is.


I must say that my little thrift shop stamp is too cute!  Wonder if my clients will notice that I have used this stamp before..lol


I filled them each with a Christmas ornament.  One of my crafty friends and a client told me she closed the pillow box back up and hung it from her tree too!  Sandra you are just so clever..


I am entering my cute little Pillow Boxes into the following challenges:
I made this little "Let it Snow" meander mini for someone special.  I followed Vianney's tutorial as it has a bit of a twist.  You can find it here.


Boy oh boy didn't realize how much I've missed my little Cuttlebug!  My arm did get a good workout with these projects..lol  Everything used came from my stash.  


 I am entering my little Mini Album into the following challenges:
