Candy | Trinket Boxes

Cricut cartridge boxes...  

I have been saving all of my Cricut cartridge boxes on a shelf in my crop room but now instead of taking up space I am going to re-purpose them for sale to customers who want a unique gift for a special person.  The inside of the box can hold candy for that special valentine or a binder of your favorite photos or jewelry or trinkets.  So many options, limited only by your imagination!!!  Each box can be custom designed.     

A fantastic gift for Valentine's Day for that special someone!!!

Trinket | Candy Boxes

The boxes sell for $25 each. 

Valentine Door Wreath

I bought some flowers at 50% off from Hobby Lobby today and used old wooden letters from two years ago to create a new Valentine Door Wreath.  I think my front door looks much more inviting now to all my guests!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my Valentine's wreath as much as I did creating it!

Valentine's Basket

Hi everyone!  Here's a little project I made today during my KropinKat Crop!  I used a 3D Curved Basket cut file from the Online Silhouette Store and paired it with Jaded Blossom stamps.  Absolutely love my new Cameo and Jaded Blossom stamps are perfect for the kisses and sentiments!!!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you like my Valentine's Basket!

Cancun Album

I have been busy working on another chipboard album (just about half way complete).  This album is all about a trip I won a few years ago through work.  

I was reorganizing/cleaning up my scrapbook room after finishing the American Girl album and found this album kit from the Button Farm.  I actually only purchased the album because it contained Graphic 45 paper.  

I absolutely love, love, love Graphic 45!!!!  

So while I sat and drooled over the lovely paper in the kit trying to decide if I was ready to do another album or if I wanted to play with my new Cameo, I remembered the pictures of our Cancun trip.

And the only reason I remembered the pics was because one of the images from the trip was mistakenly placed in the American Girl folder...  So I guess it is fate - I had to do the Cancun trip!  And once I started looking through the folder of all the pictures I took of the trip - YEP definitely - perfect pictures for this album!

Pages 1, 2 & 4

Pages 5, 6 & 8

I still have 6 more pages plus the back of the album to complete, but I am liking the results so far!

So I hope you enjoy!  I know Alan and I enjoyed a fantastic, relaxing week in Cancun.

American Girls

All my Christmas "stuff" is finished so I sat down today and worked on a chipboard album.  Completed seven pages featuring my granddaughters and their American Girl dolls.  I have taken five of my six granddaughters to the American Girl store here in Texas.  Each one has chosen either a doll or a horse (and some have both)!  

We have taken all the dolls to the salon, either at the time they were purchased or in a couple of cases, a year or two later to be cleaned up and/or get a new hairdo.  

As a birthday gift a couple of years ago, I took my granddaughter Bella, her doll and my daughter Jackie to the American Girl Bistro for lunch.  We had so much fun!  

The album includes all the visits to the store.  I was asked today, who will you give this album to?  I've decided this will be my keepsake, to be shared when my American Girls come to visit...
