Cutie Pie meets Purse Box

If you have not been to Danielle's blog then you need to check it out. I saw these cute wood purse box that she did a few days ago and realized that my mom has SOOOOOO many alterables stashed away that I am sure it screaming to be altered :)

For my purse box, I used the Cutie Pie designer paper from Stampin Up. The ribbon was dyed with Wild Wasbi ink refill. I used Scalloped Square Nestabilities for the sentiment. The flower stamp and sentiment id PaperTrey Ink. The flower embellishments are from the Big Flower Embellishment Kit from QVC. If you look at the flowers closely you can tell that the center flower matches the Cutie Pie paper....and that is because it is made from the paper. I did not have a flower that would fit in between the two sizes I wanted so my mom thought to use the Stampin Up small oval punch and punched eight of them. We used the Big Bite to punch a hole in all 8 pieces at once so that they lined up. Then you layer everything with the brad. After you tighten the brad you then can move the ovals to the places you want. I hope that made sence, hehehe. If you want I can put a quick tutorial on how to do it if that will help. Just let me know.

Ok, I think I was very chatty on this post :) I hope everyone has a good rest of the day!!!


**I really wanted to show you a few other projects, but they were made for some submissions. As soon as I hear something, I will make sure to post them**

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge

Hello... I have been wanting to try Beate's weekend sketch challenges for awahil now, but never did it. This weekend I told myself I was going to do it :)

I use Purely Pomergrante(Stampin Up) and Spring Moss(PaperTrey). I used the cuttlebug embossing folder and attached 3 silver brads in the upper corner. The square image was stamped with Borders & Corners(PaperTrey). The stitched grossgrain ribbon is wrapped around the whole card. It was very simple, but looks so nice!!!

I know I told you that I had something to share with you today, but I need to put the finishing touches(these HAVE to be perfect) on them and I will get them up tomorrow :)

There is still a few more days left to be entered in "JoAnna's Jems" if you have not done so already.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thrusday and I will see you tomorrow.

More fun....Scallop Cards with a Twist

I am having wayyyyy to much fun with the Nestabilites :)

I decided to try and put one of the scallop cards on a card base so now it it the same size as a regular card. I used the new PaperTrey Ink stamp set "Women of Life" and "Spiral Bouquet". I also added a little bling with a flower.

More tomorrow.... this craft thingy is so much fun and I feel so productive :) And I have something really cool to share with you that I have been up to :)

"JoAnna's Jems" is still going on, don't forget to enter, if you have not already done so. I really appreciate all the wonderful, sweet comments!!!

A change in look....

You guys noticed the change in my blog, lol!!!! I am thinking I like the springy look :) My mom made me the new banner yesterday so I had to make sure it was up and then change some colors to match. I am also getting a new watermark to match. I hope you like it. If some of the colors are hard on your eyes, please send me an email or leave a post and I will fix it, k?

I was amazed how you can use the same image and it becomes three completely different looks for cards.
