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

Whimsie Doodles Challenge

Hey Everyone! I'm so excited to be part of the Whimsie Doodles team this month as Guest Artist! Today starts the new monthly challenge... a fun sketch created by Laura!

I chose to play with one of the new digis available in the shop now. This adorable owl is part of the Valentine  Gift Tags. Colored it up with Copics, and cut out with Spellbinders Standard Circle Large dies. Used the CC Designs Phlox Flower die to make a layered flower, and added a button with twine. The background paper is from MME So Sophie, and the leaf dp is MMBI Autumn Layers.

Here's the sketch from Laura...

now it's time to stop by the Whimsie Doodles blog to see all the details of the current challenge, and the wonderful creations from the ladies! Don't forget to visit the store to see all the new digis.... so many adorable ones!

Happy Monday!! I'm finally getting a chance to share my first project as Whimsie Doodle's January Guest Artist!

They have incredibly cute digis, and I used a few of them for my Christmas tags, and that's how I was picked as the guest artist! Today I'm sharing...

Blogger Boy from their December release! He's adorable and fun to play with! I followed a sketch from Deconstructed Sketch #83

 and the papers are from MME Lime Twist collection. Added a couple of buttons and twine to make this a simple boy card. Sentiment stamp is from Studio G.
