Little strawberry gift box.....

This is just too sweet.  This little strawberry sent me all over the place reading blogs to try to find the pattern and instructions.  I first  found it on the blog I was reading (love reading blogs..........people are just so clever and full of wonderful inspirational ideas)   " A Sticky Situation".   Joni  is a very clever lady and you can see her work here.

She didn't have the pattern at the moment so I went from blog to blog to blog and finally found it!  It is just the cutest little thing.  Well at least I think so.  You could fill them with candies like life savers, or kisses, or paper clips or anything that would fit inside.  I finally found the pattern and instructions on Mushi's Creative Inspirations.  which you can see here.  Thank you Michelle for the pattern and great ideas.  Just love 'em and plan to make more.  This was just my proto type (I sound like the mad professor :) saying that in my best Boris Karloff voice).  You could add rhinestones, or pearls or put it through your Cuttlebug with the dotted swiss folder. The ideas and sizes are endless.   Let me know what you come up with and I would love to see them and what you're putting inside. If you have any trouble finding the pattern from my links leave  a comment in the C Box to the right (be sure to put your email in--nobody else can see it) and I'll try to get you there.   Wouldn't these be soooooo cute on your Christmas tree filled with goodies. :)

Have a great day!

So sweet!!

Well, here is the card I promised.  I thought I would have it up a lot sooner but waiting for glitter to dry and choosing different background papers takes me forever.  This stamp is just the cutest from Whimsie Doodles  and the background paper is by American Crafts.  Isn't it the sweetest.  So I hope this card makes you feel cooler (still with the cool theme.....not hot flashes just very warm weather for November)  and maybe a little hungry for cupcakes......I know I am.   In the next post I will be showing you the sweetest little strawberry that you can put goodies in.  It's just adorable so stay tuned.......

Thanks for taking a look.

A little cooler........finally.....

Well it's November 2 and we're finally getting some cooler weather. Yeah!!!!  We can turn off the air and open the windows...........I hope for quite a while, but we'll see.  

I will be posting some more cards hopefully by Wednesday.  Got a new border punch today and I can't wait to try it out on a card and I have to get my samples made for my thank you note class.  Speaking of punches-- Oh my gosh have you seen the new huge punches by Martha Stewart.  They are humungous!   I think it would  be more for a scrapbook page.  I haven't seen anyone use them yet, but I'll keep my eyes open and let you know.

I think I'm going to run over and see Claire either tomorrow or Wednesday.  See what new goodies she has in and what's going on in the store.    I'll let you know what treasures I find.
Have a good evening and the next time I post there will be some cards  for you all to see.
