Valentine Treats

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post. I've had a change in my work schedule, so less time for me to craft! {very sad} :(  I finally got to finish my ATS Challenge reminder project...

Isn't he cute? Cupid Mickey is from the ATS December release, and you can find him at the ATS store! Here are a couple of other views of the treat box...

It can hold a few treats inside, and the black flap tucks into the back of the box. The front has a Tiny Tag from Papertrey Ink with a hand written message. Found  a piece of scrap for the backside to hold down the flap.

Head over to the All That Scraps Challenge blog to see more amazing creations. You have another week to link up and play along. There's a small change in the rules, so be sure to check out the details here. The prize for this challenge is THREE CC Designs Rubber Stamps!!

Now, I have something to share with you all! Do you have trouble threading twine through tiny holes? It was so frustrating for me...  keep having to cut off the frayed tip... needles with eyes that are too big... took FOREVER to get it through!! I finally did a search online for some help... and guess what I found...

a floss threader! it's the perfect tool to thread twine (or any string) through the tiniest hole!! so smooth and simple! can't wait to use it for buttons!!

Thanks for stopping by...

have a wonderful day! ;D

Sparkle Creations Ch#93

Hi all! Today is Sparkle Creations Challenge #93, and this time we have a sketch for you...

designed by the very talented, Kim Yu! For my card today, I used Cherry Blossom Rin...

Inspired by the artist Aki and her beautifully colored sketch of Rin. Used papers from BG Konnichiwa, gorgeous brown ribbon from May Arts, a resin cherry blossom from Recollections, and a flower tag from PTI Tiny Tags stamped with "joy" sentiment from TGF's It's a Girl clear stamps.

Here a few close-ups

This is my last guest designer post for Sparkles Creations. It went by so quickly! It's been amazing to be with an awesome group of ladies. The stamps are just so much fun to color and create with. Hope you all stop by the SCRS blog to see more inspiration from the team! I do have one more quick share with you all later this week, so be sure to come back then!

Have a wonderful day! ;D

Xmas Gift Card Holder

Hello all and happy Wednesday! Today is start of a new challenge at All That Scraps... everyone's favorite... ANYTHING GOES!!

I guess you can say I'm in the holiday mood lately. This time I made a gift card holder...

with Yuki from Sister Stamp. The box die and the little tag are both from PTI, and the border punch from MS. Finally get a chance to play along the Yumi & Fumi Handmade current challenge, to have no patterned paper! That had me stumped for awhile, but then I thought of... embossing! So I gave it another try, and this time it turned out better... a little?  hehee! I used a sparkle embossing powder on the green cardstock. The picture doesn't show it too well, but it's there! lol!

here's another view...

So now stop by All That Scraps Challenge blog to see what the team has to share! You have two weeks to play along for your chance to win 5 CC Design digis!!
