Ribbon in my Doritos Bag

This is what happens when your 5 year old loves to scrapbook too. I was craving for Doritos and sure enough when I opened the bag...I find a piece of ribbon. I couldn't help but laugh so hard. This definitely was the last place I would expect to find ribbon. I just had to take a picture right away and share it with everyone. LOL!!!!

Altered Drawer Box

Here I altered a mini drawer box for Natalie to place a few of her favorite makeup products she uses daily. Her favorite color scheme is pink,black and white. MFT's Costumes From Wonderland had the perfect stamp image to add to her box. Her box sits perfect on her makeup vanity.

Being cute is what I do!

Maddy had her first performance at school and she was so excited to see her older sister Ariana there. You can see in her smile how happy she was. Here I used Pure Innocence Being cute is what I do! stamp set. I stamped the image on the coordinating design paper to create her blouse to match the Die-namics Jumbo scallop and Open scallop borders. I love to create these adorable flowers as my center pieces for my tulle flowers with Die-namics Rolled Flower die. My Favorite Things products adds that special touch to my projects that coordinate with my everyday life.

Rock On

The one thing my teenage daughter can't live without....her i-Touch. Although its literally attached to her hip, it just never seems to stay in one place. Here I altered a wooden box for her to place on her dresser. I used MFT's Pure Innocence Tweeny Teen Rock stamp set. Now she'll never have to search through her room again.

MFT Altered Pencil Box

Here's an altered pencil box I created for my daughter for school. I can't believe their Summer vacation is over. It went by so fast. I used MFT's Pure Innocence Emma and Her Backpack stamp set. This creates a perfect gift also for her teacher.

Eco Friendly Kit
