Hallobean...

 ...TOP NOTE BOX...

Halloween is right around the corner and I wanted to make something for the lady co-workers.  I didn't have to make for my soccer team mates, my daughter's soccer team or my mom's friends this year.  Thank goodness...cause I am so late!!  I wanted to make a box using my top note die.  I just made up my own box measurements...5 1/2" x 8" cardstock.  Then score at: 1", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 7".  The other way you score 1" on both sides.  cut the flaps to create the box...that's it.  Here is what it looks like once assembled...

This is what I came up with...just used two top note dies for the top and the bottom of my box.  Then I used my circle and scallop circle spellbinders for my cut out and I used my Hallobean from TGF.  I colored her up and DONE!!

 I did add ribbon to hold the box shut.  I created twelve of these.  I may make more now.  Haha...it's always easier once you know what you want to do.

 Have a happy Halloween everyone!  Can't believe another year is going by!

Please have a fun time, but be safe!

Origami Diamond Fold Card...

...SHINE LIKE A STAR...

I made this a while back for a dear sweet friend that celebrated her birthday in March.  I wanted to make a special/unique card just for her.

I found this card here...

This is what it looks like on the front...

here's a picture with the flaps open...

Of course I had to add some coloring to it...so I stamped an image from TGF and added this cute bean to the back of the card.
here's what it looks like from the back once the entire card is opened...

Hope you have a chance to make one!
Have a wonderful day :)

Flutter Anya...

...IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE...

Happy 1st Birthday to Shanel...one of my dear friend's daughter.  They are throwing her a birthday party, but we can't attend.  But I wanted to send her something.  So I decided to make a shaker card with her gift.  This is how it turned out...

 

I used lots of micro beads, added flowers, ribbon, a heart charm, bling and used that ever so cute Flutter Anya from TGF.  She is adorable.  Colored her with my copics and splashed her with some sparkle spray and put it together and I am done.  Hope her mom and dad like it :)

Have a good HUMP day everyone!!!

Double sided zig zag card...

...HAPPY CHEEKY BIRTHDAY...

 I wanted to make a unique card and wish a Happy Birthday to a dear friend!   I went searching the internet and found a double sided zigzag card.  I figured out how to decorate it too.  I decided to use the new "Cheeky Lessons" from TGF.  I colored her with my copics and used some stickles.  I made my belly band with a punch. This is what it looks like when it's closed...

Here is the first flap when opened up...

this is what it looks like once it's fully opened...

I decided to stand it up to give you a sense of what it looks like.

I hope my friend enjoys the card.  I hardly make cards unless I need to.  But this is for her birthday and I wanted to make it special.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for stopping by :)

TGF Composition books...

...SCHOOL IS BACK...

 It's that time again...my daughter is going back to school.  She will be starting the 8th grade soon and she wanted me to decorate her composition books.  I said okay.  Then what does she pick?  The greeting farm...but the set with 3 girls!  I told her that is so much coloring and I am not so good at that.  Well I gave it a whirl.  Here are the 4 books I made. 

here is another set I used...

 here's my favorite set..."Hats off"  They are so cute!

 Last but not least...this is an old set from TGF.

 I used the words/sentiments from Word Art by Bethany.

I downloaded the different friendship sayings and then printed them out.

WOW...time sure flies when you are taking care of LIFE!

Hope to post from time to time.

till next time...LIVE LIFE AS IT'S YOUR LAST...

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT...LIVE WITH NO REGRETS.

Owl Match Boxes...

 ...OWL you giving a HOOT...

It's almost time for my family reunion again in Vegas and so I wanted to make something cute!  I made match boxes with these cute owls to top them off.  I used really pretty DP but you can't see it as the owl covers the enter top of the box!  I made a total of 26...3 are for friends here.

Here is one single owl...

 this is what it looks like once the little drawer gets pulled open. 

I found these paper soaps at Pier 1 Imports here in Hawaii!

They come in different smells and I thought this would be a unique gift.

Just in case you get stuck somewhere with only running water...lol!

 Oh my goodness...it's been like forever since I posted.

I finally found some time to post the latest things I have been creating.

I am now mostly posting them on FB.  So if not you can see all my creations there!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Be Blessed,
