Merry Little Christmas Challenge #35: Tree Tag

 Hello crafty freinds :o)  Here's my post for MLCCB, where the challenge is Christmas all year long.

A little Christmas tag with lots of layers.  I started off with a tag and put some Christmas paper on most of it.  Covered the paper with gesso and paint, stamped a tree, then sewed around the edges.  Couple years ago, I die-cut some ornaments out and didn't use them all, added a stamp to the die cut.  Some more die-cuts, embossing and a sticker sentiment to finish it off.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #50: Love My Teacher

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Here's my post for MIUCB, this month's challenge is about stamping. 

Even though my son is in high school (his last year, because they are sending him to junior college 2 years early), I decided to make some thank you cards that held gift cards inside for his wonderful teachers. With the strange school year, he went to school for 3 hours in the afternoon with a couple of other students (2-3 other students were in his class). The die cut for the cards is from TLC Designs: Apple A Day  Looking through my stash of rubber stamps, I found the perfect stamp from Unity for the front of the cards.  To hold the gift cards in place, I used zips.

These turned out very cute.  Thanks for looking and reading :o)

Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog #144: Spring Birthday Box

 Hello crafty friends!  Running behind on typing up my posts this month.  Brothers came in for a visit and things got put to the side.  I'm here with my Love to Scrap post which is Spring Forward projects.  Let's see and welcome Spring is finally here.

I had 2 projects I thought about doing for a Spring project, but this Brothers Cut N Scan project caught my  eye.  Doing these projects really helps with using up some scrap paper.  I decided to use buttons for my center, just because I have plenty of buttons.  

Some lace was used on the bottom of the box for a little decoration.  I didn't use the front panel that was with the project, instead I opted for one of my own die-cuts.   Stamp is from Unity Stamps.
