Happy March…..

Ok, I just can’t believe it is March already, February just seemed to fly right on by!  Well I was a busy stamper over the weekend and wanted to share some of my goodies.  Ok, I worked on a few Cards believe it or not and I had to do 1 little treat.  I’ve gotten so much inspiration from Andrea Walfords site and will be tackling some of the Great Goodie Bags she’s sharing! My head is ready to explode again. ; ) Thanks for stopping by!

Great for all occassions!
Pattern was from the Martha Stewart Website!

Ok, this was a WOW that was shown at the Anaheim Regionals on Friday, which I missed, I went on Saturday.  BUT Jolie Newman who Demonstrated it was kind enough to share the directions! WOO HOO! It has a pouch to put goodies or anything you want, I of course took photos of the samples she had at Regionals! Super Fun and what a great Project!!!

Dsc00232 Ok, this cute little Easter Basket was SUPER EASY to make.  Where did I get the box Pattern you ask? Well believe it or not, it was from the packing of a toy that my son got. You know how they pack toys now a days…UGH!  Anyway, I’m taking out all the stuff inside the box and out comes this cute little box, DH was getting ready to toss it and I said HEY I can use that and sure enough TA DA!!!  You  just never know where things will pop out!

Here are the measurements:
5 1/4" x 4 1/4"  Score the 5 1/4" side at 1 1/8 and 4 1/8, Score the 4 1/4" inch side ast 1 1/8" and 3 1/8" I cut the 4 1/4 inch sides to fold up the box.  I attached the handles with brads, Handle measures 7" x 3/4".   Any questions please don’t hesitate to email me or leave a comment and I’ll answer you!

Happy Stampin’!

New Valentine Box!

Ok this might have to be the last post until after the Stampin Up! Regionals on Saturday! I’m still working on my swaps!  I had to post this cute and quick Valentine Box! I did this box at a Make n Take about 5/6 yrs ago before I was a Demo.  I made up directions too as there wasn’t any for it.  Don’t know who’s idea/pattern it is, so don’t know who to credit. I am posting 3 photos, the front, the inside and a side view.  Enjoy!  Thanks for stopping by!
