Vintage Style Keepsake Photo Tin

Hello, friends! I'm back with another creationmade for Crafter's Castle! Taylormadecards4u is our permanent sponsor, and I have another process video on my project to share again, as well! This month I was completely inspired by our permanent sponsor's kit for us--An English Garden! Guess what?! Most of what I use today is part of the prize for joining us month!

An English Garden Passport Kit

TOTALLY gorgeous, right?! I love the vintage feel. It reminded me of my grandparent's, so I chose to make something to honor them. Here's one of the finished creations...

Crafter's Castle + Taylormadecards4u = Altered Mini Composition Notebooks

Hi, friends! I am so excited to be joining the team at Crafter's Castle for this month's Back to School YouTube Video Hop! Our wonderful sponsor is Taylormadecards4u, and we are showcasing the fabulous Passport to School digital kit!

Take a peek at some details of my creations...

A friend of mine gave me some mini composition notebooks back in May, and they TOTALLY scream Back to School to me! I altered two of them using the Passport to School digital kit as well as these Library Cards from Taylormadecards4u!

Check out my video tutorial on how to create this fun project!

Our challenge will continue to run from today (Sept. 15th) until Sept. 30th. In order to be considered for the prize from Taylormadecards4u, all you need to do is join the challenge!

Merry Christmas Clocks!

Hi, friends! Sorry I've been so quiet this month. I have still been healing from surgery and trying to also recover from an upper respiratory infection gifted to me by a student as an early Christmas gift! ;) I love my job, but the germs are really making it hard this year!

BUT, let's move on to happier things! I have a gift idea that I want to share with you! I gave these as Christmas gifts, but they would make a wonderful Valentine gift, as well! Take a peek...

These were VERY easy to put together. I just purchased 2 clocks from WalMart, then opened them up and added photos. The "sentiment" was made with stickers. Here are some close-ups...

I love them and am so happy with how they turned out! I hope this has inspired you to create today! Thanks for stopping by and MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'll be back more in the upcoming year! Until then, HUGS and happy crafting!

Paper Sweeties 25 Days of Christmas 2016

Hello, my friends!  So excited to be back today to share some creation I've made for the Paper Sweeties 25 Days of Christmas blog hop!  Thank you to Debbie for inviting me to join in the fun! :) 

I had so much fun creating with these darling products, that I decided to create a gift set.  The set includes a card, gift box, and gift bag that all match.  I went gingerbread and plaid--two of my faves for the holidays!  Take a peek...

Aren't those gingerbread men the CUTEST?!  I LOVE them so much!  I used the Sugar & Spice Sweet Cuts dies to create these guys.  I added some Peppermint sequins and black rhinestones, along with all the fun glittery paper, to deck these dudes out.  SO cute!

This same little guy showed up on the card I made...

...the matching gift box...

...and the gift bag!

A sentiment from the Homemade With Love stamp set also made it's appearance on both the card and the tag on the gift box.  I added some color to the sentiment with Sakura glitter gel pens.

The finishing touch was some Rusty Jingle Bells tied onto the card and gift box with twine, along with some super seasonally appropriate plaid paper! ;)  I totally adore how these creations turned out, and I hope you do, too!  I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Thanks so much for stopping by, all!  I am so grateful for each of you, and I hope that you all have a warm and wonderful holiday season!  Head over to Paper Sweeties to grab these goodies, and don't forget to follow along with the hop all the way through the 25th!  Until next time, HUGS and MERRY stamping, friends!
