Easter Box 1 
Today we are leaving for Las Vegas…Woo Hoo!  We are staying at the Red Rock..LOVE that place.  I have posts for the rest of the week already set for you while I'm away so make sure you come by and check it out. 

This Box I made out of 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock! Using the whole thing no leftover pieces.  Woo Hoo! I will be making a Video of this when I return.  I was trying to make a step by step before I left but I just ran out of time…I mean with my Birthday and all!

 Anyway, this can be used for any Occassion….birthday, baby shower, etc….So I hope you like it and Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Box Side 

Here is a side view of the box. All supplies I used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.  Of course I used Stampin' Up's "A Good Egg Set" I just LOVE this set! Not that anyone could tell! The box is pretty deep you can't tell from the photo but it is about 4' deep.

Ok, so stay tuned for the video on how to make this box.

Basketball Goodies

Author: April 6, 2009 0 Comments

DSC01832 Happy Monday all!  Ok, Basketball season has been over since the end of February and I've been meaning to share this with you all!  I still can not believe that my daughter is graduating! UGH! I've so enjoyed watching her play Basketball so I can't believe we won't see her play anymore! ; (  But anyway there were 7 Graduating Seniors and most of the players have been together since the 7th/8th Grade! So this too was so Sad for them. I made party favors for the Varsity Team Table. These were so fun to make. They are the Sour Cream Containers. You can find this wonderful Tutorial HERE on SCS!

DSC01833 Then I made each Graduating Senior a Super Cute Picture Frame. Each with a Photo of them and there parents and Senior Night and 1 of them all together.

All Supplies used are Stampin' Up! Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions please let me know.
