So, my daughter is getting married two weeks from today. Boy have I been busy making things for the wedding. Here is the box I made to put her shower gift in. It was a lingerie shower. This is a paper mache box I purchased at Hobby Lobby.  I decoupaged the paper on and added trim to the top edge of the box. Then I lined it with satin and added the embellishments on top. The 3d flower was a file I found online when I googled 3d flowers. There are a lot to choose from. The small flower are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I inked the edges of them. Thanks for looking. I appreciated it.

SHOES

Here are some shoes if anyone can use them.

Long time No post

I think a year without posting must be a record of some kind. To be honest I got a little disillusioned with my blog but I think I am in a better frame of mind now. It just has to be something I enjoy and do because I want to and be happy about it. I'm being kind of vague I guess. Oh well, on with the post. 
I came across this on a vector site and made it into a studio file. I hope someone can use it and enjoy it. 
I don't know what I will do with it yet but I'm sure something for my granddaughter.
I have been working a lot lately on things for my daughters wedding and will be posting some of the pics of those later. I hope you check back. 
Have a great day.

A tile for Hubby

My DH got a promotion and with it an office so I made this tile for his desk. I googled the silhouette and converted it. I think it was a nice addition to his office. He's the kind of leader that adjusts the sails and makes things work out. Hope you all have a great one and take care.

Granddaughter's Night Light

I made this night light for my 3 (almost 4) year old granddaughter. She loves it and makes everyone that comes to their home come to her room and look at it. My daughter and I did her room in fairies and butterflies and I'll show those pics soon.
The background was done with oracle transparent glitter vinyl. I love the stuff and have to drive over to their local store and get some more of it. I got this piece as a sample from their website.
The butterfly and leaves svg can be found here

The font is Harlow Solid Italic.

 Thanks for coming by to look.  Have a great day.

Don't you love great craft blog and sites?

Hey. Have you been to SNR? It is such a cool website. Not only are there great ideas for scrapbook pages,  you can get plenty of ideas for cards and journals. They also have a sketch of the week to inspire some new ideas for your pages. If that’s not enough they show a different font each week so you can get some ideas for new ones. I just download the Happy Days that I wouldn’t have know about if not for going to this site. OOOH! They give suggestions for recycling as well. Like showing how to make flowers out of old pages from books and my fav, recycling containers like milk containers to make embellishments, with the idea of embossing them. I can spend quite a bit of time there looking at all the great things. (No I don’t work for them just really enjoyed the site and wanted to pass it along. )

Oh yeah, and here’s the link  http://www.scrapbooknewsandreview.com

While I’m at it another blog I like is http://www.birdscards.com   she shares many free Digi and cut files. There are so many kind bloggers out there that are so generous and kind.

Granddaughters Birthday Card

I don't know how it happened but my precious granddaughter Mandi just turned 14! Where does it go?
Well, thought I would show you the card I made for her. The image is a Kenny K of course. Colored with Copics.

 The oval was beige and I gave it a quick spray with Antique Ink. The flowers and lace are from wild orchid crafts.
Here's the link for the Happy Birthday ticket. There are others there with it. http://creativitybug.blogspot.com/2011/05/featured-freebies-for-week-of-may-30th.html

Western Welcome Tile

Hi All. Thought I would make up a Welcome Tile and living in the desert in Arizona it just seemed right to have a Western Theme. I hope someone else has a need for this. It's a little tricky getting the cactus on the edge and you may want to cut it off and do it separately.  Thanks so much for taking a look. If you like it I would love if you left a comment and let me know. It's sooooo encouraging. :)

Here's the SCUT file. http://www.box.net/shared/z4y3562g0i

Father's Day Card and SCAL file for Scalloped Shutter Card

I hope everyone is having a Great Memorial Day weekend. Yesterday was fun. Hubby and daughter and I took the 3 year old granddaughter to the Memorial Day Parade. She had so much fun and we had so much fun watching her. I think her favorite is the Marching Band. That and firetrucks (she calls them fireworks) lol.

 So, on to todays project. I made this card for my hubby. I should have spent more time on the decorating but I wanted to get the file posted so if anyone needs it. I know there are a lot of shutter card files but I had trouble finding one with scalloped edges so I made this one. I hope it comes in handy for some of you. Thanks for coming by.

Here's the link to get the download.http://www.box.net/shared/cbjv6stpkr

Heart file with design

I was just fooling around on SCAL and came up with this. I cut a shadow out of white paper to put behind the design. You can do that or just let the background paper show through. I hope it can be of use to some of you.

Mothers Day Card for my Sis

Hi. Thanks for stopping in. Hope you are having a great day. I wanted to share the card I made for my sis. I gave her a gardening image to go with the Bear I painted for her yard at her cabin. I wish I knew who all the images were done by that I use but when they are downloaded that info wasn't there and I have so many I don't remember. I love this one though, she so sassy. lol The card info is the same as the previous one so I won't bore you with them again.

Here is the Bear I painted and a close up of his nose that I did with alcohol inks. I think he's such a cutie. I'd love to know what you think.

Have a great day.

Mother Day card for MIL

This is the card I made for my MIL. I gave it to her with the tile I had in a previous post. She loves antique dolls so I thought this was perfect for her. This also has the flowers and corner from Wild Orchid Crafts and the card components in the previous post. The flourish and heart are from SCAL basic shapes. I was in a hurry the Saturday before Mothers Day, but next time I Have to take time to do some chalking or inks. lol.
Thanks for looking! Have a great day.

Mothers Day card

Hi. Thanks for coming by. I hope you are having a wonderful day and had a great Mothers Day.

I wanted to share the Mothers Day Card that I made for my daughter. She is a single mom and I'm very proud of her. She finished dental hygienist school last year, has bought her own home and is a terrific mother to my 3 year old granddaughter. I made her a plague with Aubrey's handprints on it but forgot to take a pic of it. 
The image is an Elizabeth Bell. It's called Little Repunzel. I adore her stamps and this is one she has in digital. I'm all about instant downloads. lol. The hearts and flourish are from the basic shapes in SCAL. The flowers and corner is from Wild Orchid Crafts. I'm giving you the svgs for the other components. My card is 6x6 so you may have to adjust them for your card.
