Hello peeps!
Here's an apron treat box that I made about an hour ago and wanted to share it with you all.    I just grabbed what ever scraps I had and went for it, you might say that this would be my sample but heck it came out awesome.   At least now I can do it in softer colors and maybe some cute dsp too!   Ooh my head is going in all sorts of directions on this project, LOL~   Anyway I will probably make a bit more and give them out, it can be filled up with a lot of treats too.    

Enjoy your crafty weekend, I'm going to get my cutter out and get me more cardstock cut up.   

Scored a new scoring board!

It was finally a change to retire my Martha Stewart scoring board that I had for century's.  LOL!   I saw this awesome deal on line and it even made my life easier  it's down from 1/8 all the way up to 7/8 no excuses for making errors now....

Create a Friend~

Just dropping by to share some upcoming projects that I'm doing.   I need to create some birthday cards and finally got through getting them all adhered together.  Wow it took me some time to get them sized and cut.  LOL!

Thanks for peeping in to check them out.
Will try to get back sooner.  LOL!   

There's Nothing little about the light you Shine~

Happy weekend peeps~

Here's sharing another card that I had fun creating this morning.   In real it's just so perfect the background looks aged and for my matting's I used copper card stock  and also copper embossing powder for my image and sentiment.     I just wanted to be a bit different you might say.

Birthday card & matching Gift card or money holder!

I was asked to make a birthday card for a someone who is turning twelve, and this is what I came up with.   I have the recipients name added on to the front of either the gift card or money holder, but for privacy the mom did not want it posted on blog world. So the photo was taken before it got adhered on.   
I stuck the money in it just to show that you can either put in whatever you desire.   
I have another one that I'm doing for a male who is turning 13 so I'm undecided yet on the theme.   

See ya back here soon~
