Valentine's Day Favors

Hi Everyone!

Happy New Year! Although Christmas just passed, I've been in the Valentine's Day spirit already. There's just so much to create and I'm really loving all the PINK. Here's a few favors I created with the new Balsa Boxes I purchased at my local Michaels. I'm really loving the new shapes and so fun to alter. I also created with two of my favorite Tim Holtz dies. You can make so many fun projects with the Movers and Shapers In the Bag and Pocket Envelope die. Have fun creating!

Christmas Sleigh Mini

Hello Everyone!

It's been a long time since I've posted on my blog and I do miss it. I have to say, everyday life and preparing my oldest for college, senior pictures, driving, and so much more is a ton of work. heehee But, I'm enjoying every minute of it. I just have to make sure I takes notes because I have three more girls that will go through the same thing. Lol!

I really miss making mini albums. I've been to hooked on my mixed media projects that I haven't had the chance to stop and make a mini. With Christmas around the corner, I thought it would be fun to make a sleigh mini using my AccuCut 3D Sleigh Die. Though this box was designed to create a 3D Sleigh box, I knew I could make a mini out of it. I basically die cut out 6 sleighs with medium weight chipboard, adhered design paper to both the front and back. Then, I adhered another design paper on top of both sides only adding adhesive to the edges to create a pocket. I filled the pockets using my other dies and created some tags with the design paper. I just loved how it turned out. This will make great Christmas gifts for my family.

Come join my Mixed Media Tag Swap! CLOSED

Hi Everyone,

This summer has been so fun and busy at the same time, but of course I always make time for crafting. I've been busy with creating a ton of Mixed Media projects and thought it would be great to host a Mixed Media Tag Swap. I can't remember the last time I hosted a swap and this would just be perfect. There will be a total of 3 groups (6 members in each). To make it fair, I will group everyone based on the comments left on this post. For example, The first six will be group one and so forth. All you need to type is "I'm in" and be sure to leave either your email or facebook/YouTube info incase I need to get a hold of you. Listed below are the details of the swap so please be sure to read everything. If you have any questions, message me on my You Tube channel or Facebook and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Again, thank you so much for participating.

* #8 Shipping Tag (Or you can create your own if you have the Tim Holtz Sizzix Tag Die)
* Theme: Anything goes
* Color Palette: Any
* Create 6 (Please ship all 6 to make it easier for me to separate)
* Challenge(Optional) Incorporate Modeling Paste
* Please include your information on the back of your tag. (You Tube Channel, Blog, Facebook, etc)
* I would love for you to go all out on your tags. This will be great for everyone to see different techniques out there.

* PLEASE be fair to everyone participating. If you're unable to continue the swap, please notify me ASAP.

These need to be in my hands no later than September 4th. This will give you plenty of time to create all 6 tags. I will ship them out once I receive all the tags.
Place your tags in a plastic zipper type bag to prevent possible damage and to protect the tags. Include a SASE with the same amount of postage as it took to mail to me, plus and extra two stamps. If additional stamps aren't needed, I will send them back. PLEASE NO metered strips!!!
Thank you all for participating. Have a blast getting your hands all messy! :)

If you don't already have my address, email me once you're ready to mail out and I will email you my address.
