This cute little stamp set will have you humming your favorite Christmas tunes while you work on those Christmas cards and gifties for the holidays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today's project focuses on those "gifties"--in this case, two of the gifts for my kids' teachers. Let's take a look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This little faceted box is all over YouTube right now, and is made with the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board. (But be warned, it's not for the crafty faint of heart.) I created my boxes from <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=5782">Kraft paper</a> and then layered them with papers from the <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10352">Beary Christmas</a> paper packet from Close To My Heart. The tops of the boxes are also layered with <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10265">Cranberry</a> and <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10268">Glacier</a> cardstocks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decorated the tops using two of the stamps from the set. I stamped the images in <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9053&ci=6423">Memento Tuxedo Black ink</a> on <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=382">White Daisy</a> cardstock and colored them with my alcohol ink markers (both Copic and <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=237">ShinHan</a>). I then fussy cut them and added them to the box tops with <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=4303&ci=5942">foam tape</a>. Finally, I added mini magnets to the inside for closures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a closer look at the box:</div>

Since it's October, I DID refrain from actually playing Christmas tunes while making these, but it wasn't easy!

Hi All! Welcome to the Kraft-y Heart Blog Share featuring Close To My Heart's September 2017 Stamp Of The Month: <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10433&ci=9471">Feel So Blessed</a>. If you haven't hopped over to see the incredibly talented <a href="http://www.frommybungalow.blogspot.com/">Lynn Darda</a> at <a href="http://www.frommybungalow.blogspot.com/">From My Bungalow</a> yet, don't miss it! She will certainly inspire your creativity! But first, let's take a look at this fantastic new stamp:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-txhdKNEmwZpuTNSEWACLvDfP5g3tJzNSNZI3mFnNyF-O-S_7voxmndjIP6l129z89K1tXBs3Izt2ij1N4xBAZ6zHaDWHsyEj7fT_OL0PgzdpC8IQEhe2TVRvOIQ2HzOtSZdB98NU2jG0/s1600/c54cabf6-f841-476f-b18b-76196908e734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-txhdKNEmwZpuTNSEWACLvDfP5g3tJzNSNZI3mFnNyF-O-S_7voxmndjIP6l129z89K1tXBs3Izt2ij1N4xBAZ6zHaDWHsyEj7fT_OL0PgzdpC8IQEhe2TVRvOIQ2HzOtSZdB98NU2jG0/s320/c54cabf6-f841-476f-b18b-76196908e734.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I love this stamp set, from the fun fonts to the whimsical images. And the sentiments are not only great reminders, but look beautiful on cards and scrapbook pages alike. HOWEVER, I thought I'd showcase them in a little home decor piece that I created to auction off later this month at the Rose Blossom Operation Smile Crop. (For more on Operation Smile, click <a href="http://www.operationsmile.org/">here</a>).<br />
<br />
Let's take a look:<br />

This shadow box frame is decked out for fall and ready to show off 2x3 photos of three of your favorite blessings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To decorate the frame, I used patterned papers from the new <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10335&ci=9491">Falling For You paper pack</a> by Close To My Heart, along with embellishments from the <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10337&ci=9495">Falling For You Complements pack</a>. Here's a closer look: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiklcBiFMRFiwlKdX5mYkvaGu6v1hQ2c7Ht-cd_HlO4V1bWByJjgFM6SLU1gyIMSeiScv05OuxypQn7VnbEs_RcK5rks2TOEzkxZIYuTAT3CgADkwOhJ34NaT-YgTpld5J_vDAjUWD6kP7z/s1600/KBBS090217bCollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1182" data-original-width="1600" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiklcBiFMRFiwlKdX5mYkvaGu6v1hQ2c7Ht-cd_HlO4V1bWByJjgFM6SLU1gyIMSeiScv05OuxypQn7VnbEs_RcK5rks2TOEzkxZIYuTAT3CgADkwOhJ34NaT-YgTpld5J_vDAjUWD6kP7z/s320/KBBS090217bCollage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
For the main sentiment, I inked up the stamp in <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9325&ci=6673">Saffron ink</a>, then rolled the edges in the new <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10213&ci=8894">Nutmeg ink</a> and stamped it on <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=382&ci=4887">White Daisy cardstock</a>. I then stamped the sentiment again in <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9324&ci=6672">Fern ink</a> and cut out the "Beautiful" and added it to the original sentiment. I popped that up on <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10250&ci=8968">Fern cardstock</a> that I had stamped with two laurel branches toward the bottom. I popped that up on a panel of <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=5782&ci=5952">Kraft cardstock</a> layered with patterned paper and then popped the whole thing up in the frame. I then finished things off with a badge button from the complements pack and a smattering of bronze sequins from the <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10339">Bronze Sequin mix</a>.<br />
<br />
For the "Blessed" element, I stamped 2 feathers in the new <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10215">Pewter ink</a> on some scraps of striped vellum and fussy cut them. I attached them to the back of the Blessed die cut from the complements pack and added some flower stickers. I finished the embellishment off with a burlap bow and some <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9817">Gold Shimmer Pen</a> on the flowers.<br />
<br />
To decorate the bottom compartment, I layered Kraft cardstock with patterned paper and then popped a 3x4 card from the cut-apart page in the paper pack onto that. I added the "Bloom" sentiment from the Falling For You Scrapbooking stamp set in Fern ink, and then stamped the "with Gratitude"sentiment from <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10433&ci=9471">Feel So Blessed</a> in Nutmeg ink on Fern cardstock. I cut that sentiment into a banner and popped it up on the card. I finished it off with more bronze sequins.<br />

For the left side of the frame, I added 2 spots for photos and two decorative areas. The decorative pieces in each compartment were layered like the two on the right side of the frame, I just changed the sentiments a bit.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the "So Grateful..." compartment, I stamped "grateful" onto patterned paper in Fern ink and "for this" in Nutmeg ink on Kraft cardstock. I fussy cut the "for this" out and popped it up below "grateful." The "so" is from the complement stickers and is also popped up. I added bronze sequins to finish it off and to tie it in to the elements on the left side of the frame. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The "Thankful" sentiment is stamped in Nutmeg ink on Kraft cardstock and popped up on patterned paper. I added a little chevron detail to the pattern paper using a stamp from <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10433&ci=9471">Feel So Blessed</a> and Nutmeg ink. To finish things off, I added two sticker strips above and below "thankful" and two sequins. I popped up an acorn sticker toward the bottom that I had embellished with Gold Shimmer and <a href="https://krmhill.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=1030">Liquid Glass</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, I added a little extra something with a paper rosette, a badge button from the complements and a little burlap string. </div>

This collection is perfect for documenting the lazy days of summer. Take a look:<br />

I've been creating like mad with these papers and complements, and it's been a breeze. Everything coordinates beautifully, and the paper designs are perfect for all sorts of non-scrapbooking needs. Like a farewell card, for example:<br />

I needed a couple of these cards this month for friends who are moving home to other parts of the world.<br />
<br />
I used kraft cardstock for the card base, and layered it with Sapphire cardstock and No Worries paper. (LOVE those cabana stripes). I stamped the palm trees image from the No Worries Scrapbooking stamp set directly on the middle panel using Sapphire ink, and then stamped the image again on the White Daisy panel inside the card for a lighter, second-generation look. I then used Desert Sand ink to stamp the bottom edge of each panel with the sand texture stamp from the No Worries Cardmaking stamp set. I used the same stamp and some ink-blending techniques to create a beach look on the inner panel as well. I decided to create my own embellishments for the front using stamps and coordinating thin cuts from the No Worries Cardmaking set. I stamped the umbrella in Sapphire ink, the sentiment in Cranberry, and the starfish on the inside in second generation Sapphire, Cranberry, and Lagoon inks. I cut everything out with the coordinating Thin Cuts, but decided to cut the extra white edge off the star fish. For the deck chair, I stamped it twice--once in Desert Sand and once in Lagoon--and cut both out with the Thin Cuts. I then cut the striped fabric from the Lagoon chair and pieced it onto the Desert Sand chair. I then popped every thing up with foam tape.<br />
<br />
Here's a look at some close ups:<br />

Isn't this a cute set? I love the fonts used in the sentiments, and the little fox sitting down is one of my all time favorite images. So let's take a look at the project for today:</div>

<br />
To create this little card set, I used a long-since-retired card making kit by Close To My Heart, which included the card bases and matching envelopes, the kraft cardstock and glitter banners, and a black banner that I trimmed down to fit my sentiment.<br />
<br />
I began the cards by stamping the wreath images onto vellum with VersaMark ink and heat embossing them in white. I then colored the backs of the images using my ShinHan Touch alcohol markers and cut them out. I stamped the fox and flower images directly onto the card bases using White Daisy ink and then colored them with my Prismacolor pencils. I wanted the white ink to stand out a little more, so I went back over the image outlines with my white Gelly Roll pen. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on the black banners that were included in the kit, and then cut them down to fit into the center of the wreath.<br />
<br />
To put the card together, I layered the banners on top of each other and adhered them to the card base with my tape runner. I then added the wreaths to the banners using Matte Medium by Ranger. Finally, I popped the sentiments in place with foam tape.<br />
<br />
Here is a collage of close-ups:<br />

Welcome to June. We're 6 months in. How's 2017 working out for you? I have to say, I've had better years. Still, on the whole, I'm learning a lot about a lot, so it's certainly not been a waste. <br />
<br />
Since we're at the half-way point in the year, I decided June would be a good time to start a few new post series here at Violets & Sunshine. So the first of each month will start off with a Plan It post that gives a quick look at my planners.<br />
<br />
As I've mentioned before, I'm a planner girl. HOWEVER, I only keep two planners and one of those, which we'll be looking at today, is a new experiment for me. I'll be posting bits and pieces of my daily planner on Instagram and Facebook, so you can check those if you're curious. The new experiment is a dedicated "business" planner. Let's take a look:<br />
<br />

This binder-style planner is from Close To My Heart. It's an A5 size, and as such, not one I will carry with me on a daily basis. The binder itself has retired, but they have two other styles that are beautiful and in the supplies list below. The monthly tabbed dividers are all designed to be colored in whatever media you choose. I've cut the dividers down to fit my daily planner and use alcohol ink markers to color them. However, for this planner, I've started coloring it with my watercolors. The cardstock is so heavy, there is minimal warping (none at all if you tape the divider down to a board when you paint it). </div>

Usually this page would say "remember..." at the top, but I wanted to switch it up to reflect my business goals. So I added a little flag at the top on which I stamped the month from Close To My Heart's Capture This stamp set and spelled out "GOALS" using the Pen Pal Alphabet stamp set. The arrow and "THIS." are also from Capture This. The title is in Archival Black ink, the arrow is second generation Sapphire ink, and THIS is in Cashmere ink. </div>

This calendar only reflects workshops and activities that are business related. I use washi tape to add events to my calendar so that I can move them around if necessary. I also used a little stamp from the Plan On It stamp set and Whisper ink to cross out days that I want to keep from scheduling business-related events on.</div>

The weekly view calendar does start on Monday, which is fantastic, and has two columns for appointments and to-do's. I changed it up just a little by subdividing the columns into four. I stamped "Appointments" in Cashmere inks and "Family" in Lagoon ink using the Stay Focused stamp set by Waffle Flower Stamps. "To-Do" is from the Plan On It set and is stamped in Glacier ink. I added sticky notes to my page finder (which is from Close To My Heart's 2016 planner). I wanted to set my to-do lists off from my appointments, so I added a strip of Rose Gold Foil Tape along the edge. I also added a column for my family so that I can keep track of their appointments for minimal scheduling conflicts.</div>

And so the experiment begins. I'm not sure how the "business only" planner is going to work. I'm sure I'll add some components to it as we go along. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So out of curiosity, do you keep multiple planners? Do you keep your work planner separate from your home planner? Enquiring minds want to know, so please leave a comment!</div>

<br />
Hi All! Welcome to the Rose Blossom Blog Hop for the month of May featuring the limited edition Live Beautifully Collection by Close To My Heart. If you just hopped over from the incomparable <a href="http://ididnthavepotatoes.blogspot.com/">Marg Van Patten</a>'s blog, <a href="http://ididnthavepotatoes.blogspot.com/2017/05/rb-hop-live-beautifully.html">I didn't Have Potatoes</a>, you're in the right place!<br />
<br />
So May is National Scrapbooking Month and to celebrate, Close To My Heart has released the limited edition (available through the end of May) Live Beautifully collection:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This limited edition collection offers something for everyone. If you're a scrapbooker, cardmaker, or just all around paper crafter, check out the gorgeous paper pack (that includes specialty papers with gold foiling) and stamp set. If you like things quick and easy and beautiful, there's the Live Beautifully Cut Above Kit that has all that you need to make 5 lovely layouts including page protectors (you just bring a little adhesive). And if you just need the whole thing from start to finish, there's a bundle that includes a beautiful album, adhesive, the Cut Above Kit, and even an archival safe journaling pen so you can tell your story.<br />
<br />
So what am I making with Live Beautifully? I'm so glad you asked!<br />
<br />
Let's take a look:<br />
<br />

I began by covering this little frame with two of the patterns in the Live Beautifully collection. I added a black and white zip strip from the top of one of the papers to the inner edge of the frame to create a more finished look. I then sealed the paper with Ranger's Distress Collage Crazing Medium, and let it dry. After the frame was dry, I hid the seam between the papers by adding gold shimmer ribbon from the Uptown ribbon pack and layered that with the crochet ribbon from the Rustic Home ribbon pack to give it a more shabby chic feel.<br />
<br />
To embellish the frame, I stamped a sentiment from the Live Beautifully stamp set in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it in gold. I then stamped the main sentiment from the Beautiful Moments stamp in VersaMark ink on a scrap of dotted kraft cardstock from the Rustic Home Fundamentals paper pack, and heat embossed it in gold as well. I also heat embossed images from the Keep Dreaming stamp set in gold on vellum, and used my Prismacolor pencils to color the images on the reverse side. (The rose image is actually embossed in gold sparkle embossing powder, while the leaves are in the same gold as the sentiments.) Once I was finished coloring the images, I fussy cut them and added them to the front of my frame, along with a nest of gold thread and jute twine (which is really just strands I cut from the jute ribbon in the Rustic Home ribbon pack. After arranging the flower, I thought the frame still needed a little something. So I dug into my stash and found some paper butterflies and a few black sparkles. I added Gilded Gold Stickles to the largest butterfly and then popped all three of them up with dimensional adhesive.<br />

So if you follow me on social media, you know that I spent this past weekend in Columbus, Ohio at Simon Says Create 2017. What a fabulous event! We had classes taught by <a href="http://timholtz.com/">Tim Holtz</a>, <a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/">Jennifer McGuire</a>, <a href="http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/">Kristina Werner</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dawnwplus9/">Dawn Woleslagle</a> of <a href="http://www.wplus9.com/">W+9</a>, and <a href="http://www.yanasmakula.com/">Yana Smakula</a>. It was fantastic! In addition to the classes, there were a number of companies present showing their latest releases and doing Create and Takes. I'll be posting some of those projects on my social media this week, so if you're not following me yet, please do! {Here are the links for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/violets_n_sunshine/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VioletsandSunshine/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/vi_n_sunshine/">Pinterest</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/vi_n_sunshine">Twitter</a>.}<br />
<br />
Today's project, however, was one that I couldn't finish there. It was a Create and Take brought to us by the lovely folks at <a href="http://www.jillibean-soup.com/">JilliBean Soup</a>. The project was so popular that I could never actually get in to do it. However, when I went back the next day, they were kind enough to put together a kit of the previous day's project so I could take it home! (I'll post pics on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/violets_n_sunshine/">Instagram</a> of the second project, which is an adorable [and super easy] shaker card.) So let's take a look:<br />
<br />

This little decor piece is made from a 6x6 Wood Plank Pine 3D base. The kit included a bunch of paper tags, which I cut down to cover part of the base. (I made sure to leave some of the wood texture peeking through.) They also threw in two wooden tags, a burlap tag and a large canvas tag, which I didn't end up using. (But I will...oh yes, I will....) I covered the large wooden tag with more of the paper included in the kit, and offset the wooden and burlap tags to create an embellishment. I added yellow seam binding to both tags and tied them with bakers twine (from my stash) and heavy twine (from the kit). I then added the wooden words "hello" and "Today" (from the kit) to the the small tags and glued them to a cork circle that I had left over from one of the classes. I then added it to the base. I also had a corrugated paper diamond also leftover from a class, so I cut it in half and added the triangles to the bottom of the piece to give it more interest and texture. I stamped the word LIVE to the large tag using Close To My Heart's May 2017 Stamp Of The Month: Live, Laugh, Love, and did a little heat embossing in white. I also stamped flowers from the same set onto patterned papers from the kit, heat embossed them in white, and fussy cut them to embellish the project further. I added a flower sequin from Studio Katia to the middle of each flower and then added a gem from Jillibean Soup's Birthday shaker mix to the top of the sequin for a little extra bling. I then stamped sentiments from Close To My Heart's limited edition Live Beautifully stamp set (it's only available through May, as well). After I glued the flowers and tag in place, I felt like the piece needed something else, so I stamped the words "INSPIRE," "CREATE," and "EXPLORE" from Wplus9's Color My World stamp set onto patterned paper from the kit, heat embossed them in white, cut them out and popped them up using foam tape. Finally, I added gold shimmer to the tag, flowers, wooden words, and to the edges of the little words, and called it done.</div>

The cool thing about this particular base is that it can either stand alone (like you saw in the first picture) or it comes ready to hang:<br />

<br />
Hi All! Welcome to the Rose Blossom Blog Hop for the month of April! If you just hopped over from from the AMAZING <a href="http://just1piece-shelly.blogspot.com/">Shelly Nemitz's</a> blog, <a href="http://just1piece-shelly.blogspot.com/2017/04/some-kinda-wonderful-rose-blossoms-blog.html">Just One Pretty Piece</a>, you're in the right place.<br />
<br />
This month we're featuring the fun and funky Some Kinda Wonderful collection by Close To My Heart.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjisJ1FwAvUD8fuhSgNhtcwM1O4EGN65sf6nvNReWYKwZu7QeqkhYuWi_sIdgx2ROOPEVDFyZNfpGrKaRnZIuiUPqpAbZ-oT-NXQR_PkvTGCDgoebRTz8PlGDdYcEpiFUOm6P62Eoo15vm_/s1600/somekindawonderfulcollection.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjisJ1FwAvUD8fuhSgNhtcwM1O4EGN65sf6nvNReWYKwZu7QeqkhYuWi_sIdgx2ROOPEVDFyZNfpGrKaRnZIuiUPqpAbZ-oT-NXQR_PkvTGCDgoebRTz8PlGDdYcEpiFUOm6P62Eoo15vm_/s320/somekindawonderfulcollection.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I have to be honest, I wasn't certain I would like this collection. Oh how wrong I was! The bright, rich colors are fabulous to create with, and the funky fonts and fun icons can't help but make you smile. I've had a ball using it for cards, scrapbooking, gift packaging, <a href="http://violetsandsunshine.blogspot.com/2017/04/some-kinda-wonderful-planning.html">planning</a>, and for today's project: a simple, college-ruled composition book turned Fabulous Journal!<br />
<br />
Let's take a look:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6azYK-GyaVBZ30wuF3C5cBn88fdniMUdex_mlGn_P_qn7pZQHwC4mYxaS1oaHUxrjK1oWZoQEQ43hnQx92u5GFbw4lg3oL7QixIGBX0CitfwRqCUHzw2u_eaKZNVA080f6b3ql8irlI7/s1600/RBBH041517a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6azYK-GyaVBZ30wuF3C5cBn88fdniMUdex_mlGn_P_qn7pZQHwC4mYxaS1oaHUxrjK1oWZoQEQ43hnQx92u5GFbw4lg3oL7QixIGBX0CitfwRqCUHzw2u_eaKZNVA080f6b3ql8irlI7/s320/RBBH041517a.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started by covering the front and back of this journal with papers from the Some Kinda Wonderful collection. I added black glitter letters for the title, and then jazzed it up a bit more with stickers and other glitter accents (all from the Some Kinda Wonderful Compliments pack). I kept the layers fairly flat because this will be traveling with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a collage of the close ups of the front:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2lkCwT5TulBMNmP9VU7uR6oPH00Mjuaxdrbx4G4grt5Cm00y81zB8LAGttocm8__x3qk5z2Lvh-8nDeSSm_45LPydH46qyYHfY2H2KD7oEcpjjYRiFtThyp_eBns9PSunC4w5B2IRcWep/s1600/RBBH041517aCollage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2lkCwT5TulBMNmP9VU7uR6oPH00Mjuaxdrbx4G4grt5Cm00y81zB8LAGttocm8__x3qk5z2Lvh-8nDeSSm_45LPydH46qyYHfY2H2KD7oEcpjjYRiFtThyp_eBns9PSunC4w5B2IRcWep/s320/RBBH041517aCollage.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And here's the back, which I kept very plain:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8vn_LVG4o2jwDg7eRkfXs5NrtgYjILjjBu0TADXXrH2DgcquOTEqkXBK8vH8mgFQDJ35xkJLiuLCDtLBbU_cl9zrwDsit2eik0IdnrTxuN2a_7R66MbDU7f4aGIGJOYF22YBMIihGSXDc/s1600/RBBH041517b.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8vn_LVG4o2jwDg7eRkfXs5NrtgYjILjjBu0TADXXrH2DgcquOTEqkXBK8vH8mgFQDJ35xkJLiuLCDtLBbU_cl9zrwDsit2eik0IdnrTxuN2a_7R66MbDU7f4aGIGJOYF22YBMIihGSXDc/s320/RBBH041517b.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now let's take a look at the inside covers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyQarg7HTcM6FrTbbVo6dl5cUVDWGv-mMmyKojeeTT_-w7uhrlPykZRocZF44ewCRdvIdHSUM4TBEJ9Nin2QDt9sIFAMqdR00x-oLmVRPD3EUyifLsr3NcctBlbQviPKv6-RR7t-o0e8W/s1600/RBBH041517c.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyQarg7HTcM6FrTbbVo6dl5cUVDWGv-mMmyKojeeTT_-w7uhrlPykZRocZF44ewCRdvIdHSUM4TBEJ9Nin2QDt9sIFAMqdR00x-oLmVRPD3EUyifLsr3NcctBlbQviPKv6-RR7t-o0e8W/s320/RBBH041517c.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I covered the inside front cover with Glacier cardstock and added a stash pocket. I matted the pocket and cover with patterned paper. I like to add my name and contact info in my journals in case I happen to said journal, so I created a little name plate from a 3 x 4 journaling card on the cut apart page included in the paper pack. I added a stickers from the compliments pack for a little extra somethin', and then turned to the back cover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrcqhtSXhO2FenOR0BMsTQV-9O3ufRjdXRjn9kW3j7m6_87uk_Xwoj7oYfeMkPUp2w0xRc0VRJWGZUKtA2QpFAWVtcIHNuIiBurqrlagY81vlBqsQH5pMa7b3wmrSzV9JpRBB_4TRDvOpn/s1600/RBBH041517d.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrcqhtSXhO2FenOR0BMsTQV-9O3ufRjdXRjn9kW3j7m6_87uk_Xwoj7oYfeMkPUp2w0xRc0VRJWGZUKtA2QpFAWVtcIHNuIiBurqrlagY81vlBqsQH5pMa7b3wmrSzV9JpRBB_4TRDvOpn/s320/RBBH041517d.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here, I added a pocket that I made from a sheet of patterned paper and blinged it up with more stickers and black glitter compliments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's it! A fabulous journal just waiting to be filled!</div>

It's really been way too long since my last post, but oh so good to be back!<br />
<br />
Just wanted to pop in with a peek at my planner, and to showcase the fabulous Some Kinda Wonderful collection from Close To My Heart.<br />
<br />
Here's a look at the collection:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And here's a look at my planner for the month of April:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've been a planner girl for decades. I've tried lots of different layouts, brands, styles, you name it. When all is said and done, I usually opt for making my own. The last couple of years, I've used notebooks to make my planners. (You can see those <a href="http://violetsandsunshine.blogspot.com/2016/09/rose-blossom-blog-hop-blessed-in.html">here</a> and <a href="http://violetsandsunshine.blogspot.com/2015/11/a-peek-in-my-dori-part-2-sticking-with.html">here</a>.) This year, however, I decided to redesign my weekly pages so I could print them out (rather than drawing them in my notebooks), and went with my tried and true Circa disc bound system. (A tool that I've also used for many moons, as you can see from this rather scratched cover).<br />
<br />
But let's look at the fun stuff!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDxK_IQakEdoJ7JBX9MyTuKrr5tbvXhajeOBmAk-Ms1BjzQhUmgSE3xDdZVVMcK2v77Gt-6SpwGlsDn0c0n9tLuAiJhpoOUfiXIFaN-kPWxzN8ANKCyCdfx7p7XEh90gE7xYf4QmJ6dG5U/s1600/VS041315b.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDxK_IQakEdoJ7JBX9MyTuKrr5tbvXhajeOBmAk-Ms1BjzQhUmgSE3xDdZVVMcK2v77Gt-6SpwGlsDn0c0n9tLuAiJhpoOUfiXIFaN-kPWxzN8ANKCyCdfx7p7XEh90gE7xYf4QmJ6dG5U/s320/VS041315b.png" width="274" /></a></div>
<br />
I love the bright colors and funky fonts of Close To My Heart's Some Kinda Wonderful collection. I decided to make a bold intro page for my planner using patterned paper from the collection and one of the 4x6 cut-aparts that's included in the paper pack. The "hello" and "LIFE" die cuts are black glitter chipboard pieces from the coordinating complements pack. I used the zip strips from the top of the paper for added texture and pattern.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXf-bTfM0p8YBaFj_h-vdxTbYChO8kbJemFXsvM7FYOKkpeVFxGb_WZ7V_3nE-RJ4LpWBlDylDjd30jgM6Q222F_9kYbDSMgNiugH7jFDlGCbVChfczbYflPhbhC4vcZY6v1nJpHlBv3X/s1600/VS041315c.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXf-bTfM0p8YBaFj_h-vdxTbYChO8kbJemFXsvM7FYOKkpeVFxGb_WZ7V_3nE-RJ4LpWBlDylDjd30jgM6Q222F_9kYbDSMgNiugH7jFDlGCbVChfczbYflPhbhC4vcZY6v1nJpHlBv3X/s320/VS041315c.png" width="273" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main reason I add an intro page is so I can put contact information on the back. I'm always hopeful that should I leave this somewhere, some kind soul will ship it back to me. (Hopeful...not confident.) I used a 3x4 cut-apart for the address spot and added a few sticker complements for interest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNKhi7V4GGOOTwRgJsN9oJh5BONH8KYyKsfGSxQNt4U54vK6UUJkb1zHVJPnerQTzYEVAjV0VoHEUvW20WsVuR9PgtO2z4Bxf380NjkidFpoBuVDrQZQRaoHTdo23JWnfA3RrSSI_lYSMH/s1600/VS041315e.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNKhi7V4GGOOTwRgJsN9oJh5BONH8KYyKsfGSxQNt4U54vK6UUJkb1zHVJPnerQTzYEVAjV0VoHEUvW20WsVuR9PgtO2z4Bxf380NjkidFpoBuVDrQZQRaoHTdo23JWnfA3RrSSI_lYSMH/s320/VS041315e.png" width="273" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I cut down the monthly dividers for CTMH's Everyday Life Albums so that they would fit my planner (which is smaller than A5). I thoroughly enjoy coloring, so these dividers have been a great addition to my planner! (If you follow me on Instagram, you can see March in full color. Somehow I missed posting January and February....)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1aYD-FG_InL_URQRR-uggZPuh3fEYv9ha1wm-5J69hxBzLCu7VmIkAeyS298KiKKwTRjAaTPb9mqRT-JkY2i91UhCEzJQabggNMumNU5svnyjmV7CibwMWSmhNE6SLReNqbk7zRZe1IsZ/s1600/VS041315f.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1aYD-FG_InL_URQRR-uggZPuh3fEYv9ha1wm-5J69hxBzLCu7VmIkAeyS298KiKKwTRjAaTPb9mqRT-JkY2i91UhCEzJQabggNMumNU5svnyjmV7CibwMWSmhNE6SLReNqbk7zRZe1IsZ/s320/VS041315f.png" width="273" /></a></div>
<br />
The backside of the dividers have inspirational quotes on them. However, since I cut the page down, the quote is very much off center. So I covered that with another 4x6 cut-apart and added a speech bubble sticker from the complements. The quote and hearts are from CTMH's April Stamp Of The Month: Flock Together, which will either leave you singing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRCe5L1imxg">So Happy Together by The Turtles</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdclbSfngX4&index=12&list=PLuooGHiPDetd0kxx-UjmiXIpz_mJJmP4V">Together (Having a Ball) by the Partridge Family</a>.... Just sayin'....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlpy2oYH6Msa-YVWc43YgSrAMA0EUsxhCycmqYoLMu-gUP2Tg-SHvmC6_lXkuuwZzortFTh-vMXQhI0tIYwdqzIqAEWhbUnamgm8xR5gb5t_ykvv5EVD6CqkYlhycEiUpw7G4ocNrWQYNv/s1600/VS041317ghCollage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlpy2oYH6Msa-YVWc43YgSrAMA0EUsxhCycmqYoLMu-gUP2Tg-SHvmC6_lXkuuwZzortFTh-vMXQhI0tIYwdqzIqAEWhbUnamgm8xR5gb5t_ykvv5EVD6CqkYlhycEiUpw7G4ocNrWQYNv/s320/VS041317ghCollage.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I then used some of the papers to back my monthly spread. I added some Lemon cardstock to reinforce the disc area on the calendar pages.<br />
<br />
And here's the monthly spread:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For the upcoming months, I'll be using preprinted spreads to cut down on the stamping. I love the brush stroke look of this Marker Alphabet stamp set, but I needed a monthly calendar that didn't require me to stamp everything in.<br />
<br />
And there you have it! A quick peek at my planner all decked out in Some Kinda Wonderful! I actually change it up every month, but it will certainly be hard to say goodbye to this fabulous collection.<br />
<br />
Hope you have a wonderfully creative rest of the week, and stay tuned for the Rose Blossom Blog Hop on Saturday!<br />

<br />
Now on with today's project. I started out this paper crafting journey as a scrapbooker. But between keeping up with my family and wanting to spread my creative wings, I have really gotten away from it. Nevertheless, toward the end of 2016, I decided that I wanted to document each month of 2017. I didn't want a complicated daily narrative, just a snap shot of who I am and what I am thinking about or doing on a single day in the month. So on the 17th of each month, I take a photo or two that gives a little peek into my life on that day. So let's take a look at February:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWj2h2rf09epx0zoyKeqkoDZxl62WSTdPWTZ0PK7U5m-jPC85VLIEy7dvuRlCG9IdglHEIi3TVsIny-dFPD3LKxDlV-TtO4839O92zPa-Dsnr3j3VQtTB0elUju2BrQlCx3YqFWTm1Pm6s/s1600/RBBH021517hellolovely1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWj2h2rf09epx0zoyKeqkoDZxl62WSTdPWTZ0PK7U5m-jPC85VLIEy7dvuRlCG9IdglHEIi3TVsIny-dFPD3LKxDlV-TtO4839O92zPa-Dsnr3j3VQtTB0elUju2BrQlCx3YqFWTm1Pm6s/s320/RBBH021517hellolovely1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
Most months will be single page layouts, but it just so happens that on the 17th of this month I'll be at Disney World with my hubby. The kids have their own gig to attend over the long weekend, so it will be just the two of us. I suspect I will need two pages to document everything for that day, and I might just document the whole weekend! The 6x8 base layers for both pages are cut from Kraft Cardstock.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOfDUv4ZWLS5-IB1APuOVmRpVV6AevopvcvqURK3EamnaCEnj1aS1UAMOvVTgxXdyyqUtqUJSHn7HI8Nu6v21xFF2sS692oY7kEuFMV2ZBT83ydT8blga-YpFWN9R5H9GfaOH9HNM_J9WK/s1600/RBBH021517hellolovely2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOfDUv4ZWLS5-IB1APuOVmRpVV6AevopvcvqURK3EamnaCEnj1aS1UAMOvVTgxXdyyqUtqUJSHn7HI8Nu6v21xFF2sS692oY7kEuFMV2ZBT83ydT8blga-YpFWN9R5H9GfaOH9HNM_J9WK/s320/RBBH021517hellolovely2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To create the pages, I started with a sheet of patterned paper from the collection cut to 5 7/8 x 7 7/8 inches. To that layer, I added a 3 3/4 x 5 7/8-inch piece of pattern paper at the bottom, and then adhered 3 different zip strips cut to 5 7/8 inches from the collection above the patterned paper. To created a smoother transition between the floral pattern and the zip strip immediately above it, I added a 5 7/8-inch length of Blush Shimmer ribbon that covered the seam. I cut a 4 1/8-inch square photo mat from Kraft Cardstock and popped it up toward the top of the page using foam tape. I then added a bow from the Blush Shimmer Ribbon to the right-hand edge of the page. To finish it off, I added my title using letters from the Hello Lovely Complements pack and "my" and "life" from the Journaling Prompts stamp set stamped in Desert Sand ink and then colored over in Gold Metallic Marker and outlined with a 0.03 Copic Multiliner. The arrow, "remember," and flag stickers are also from the Complements pack. I then adhered the entire page to its Kraft Cardstock base.<br />
<br />
Here are some close ups of the page:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDXRjPKdnxG2GP3MzKkKzYqD8YC0Ek7Tw258Fqv2dninyKgrmZbr1BTfMtyE-87PmtBhDdjL0-R1VDcqohkU16NJGPDj08DVREhYxqk_ZDDJfMWak9O05wK1yGaYQONeuQqE71x5lQ3w-/s1600/RBBH021517hellolovely3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDXRjPKdnxG2GP3MzKkKzYqD8YC0Ek7Tw258Fqv2dninyKgrmZbr1BTfMtyE-87PmtBhDdjL0-R1VDcqohkU16NJGPDj08DVREhYxqk_ZDDJfMWak9O05wK1yGaYQONeuQqE71x5lQ3w-/s320/RBBH021517hellolovely3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Page two was made exactly like page one. However I adhered Kraft Cardstock photo mats (cut at 3 1/8- and 2 1/8-inches square) directly to the page. I created a hidden journaling area using a 3 x 4-inch flip flap and a journaling card from the cut apart page in the collection. I added two stickers from the complements pack and a Kraft Cardstock mat to the journaling card and slid it into the flip flap. I then added two journaling cards from the Picture My Life Journaling Cards pack beneath the flap. Finally, I embellished the page with three more stickers from the complements pack.<br />
<br />
Here's a look at the embellishments and journaling area:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4EHLBjeXzJgDoOqJD_XU0vhaD6QeiTEqXvNMKpEtptuA0rPjZ-L9B1e1bQ3jYMlKbFL0R-5iRvqxsqeQ2M7BxoDopSppi_hn4ZKHQu35mKtg6eRJ1FtEdtG2FFF6pWRzvFH9Q-ATpvlpT/s1600/RBBH021517hellolovelyCollage2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4EHLBjeXzJgDoOqJD_XU0vhaD6QeiTEqXvNMKpEtptuA0rPjZ-L9B1e1bQ3jYMlKbFL0R-5iRvqxsqeQ2M7BxoDopSppi_hn4ZKHQu35mKtg6eRJ1FtEdtG2FFF6pWRzvFH9Q-ATpvlpT/s400/RBBH021517hellolovelyCollage2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And here's the layout in its album:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYo9uVHJK2hVg6JoQy2ECGeBX2fhGnF704iw2t9-RgJzP-fv63mO5BeNZesuc5X8qo4NtuEUCBaTUbNFlgI58wD0kau_UjmvYcXX66UATiF7VCwFIqBPYmUf6iVVP13xFDivoNf_Zf90I/s1600/RBBH021517hellolovely5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYo9uVHJK2hVg6JoQy2ECGeBX2fhGnF704iw2t9-RgJzP-fv63mO5BeNZesuc5X8qo4NtuEUCBaTUbNFlgI58wD0kau_UjmvYcXX66UATiF7VCwFIqBPYmUf6iVVP13xFDivoNf_Zf90I/s320/RBBH021517hellolovely5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once I get the pictures in place and the journaling finished, I'll make a slit in the page protector and feed the flip flap through it. That will allow the journaling to be read without having to remove the page from the protector or the album, and yet it will still remain hidden when you are just thumbing through the book.<br />
<br />
And there you go! A scrapbook layout from me! I hope you enjoyed it and are inspired to document your own year.

Happy Valentine's Day! Just wanted to pop in and share a treat box I made to give to two of my Valentines today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRJd-n3aeBt6gbkTM1bMvGHfLt4GjxMC_B76HkgJq1yPoRGjl7XZ1RRk32uuuabHFC2qv1bNBnVcE8TVBFQSqWlgSkQTVigHbdYQiLa2dcHDTgtGXYP77MCbYvMe6i001rSJocMNzvaEm/s1600/V%2526STuesTreats021417a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRJd-n3aeBt6gbkTM1bMvGHfLt4GjxMC_B76HkgJq1yPoRGjl7XZ1RRk32uuuabHFC2qv1bNBnVcE8TVBFQSqWlgSkQTVigHbdYQiLa2dcHDTgtGXYP77MCbYvMe6i001rSJocMNzvaEm/s320/V%2526STuesTreats021417a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I created these two boxes using the Thin Cuts Basic Hearts dies, Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock, and the Polkadot and Woodgrain Kraft Cardstocks from Close To My Heart's Rustic Home Fundamentals paper pack. So let's take a look:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28S-QBsuHg-iVS3IZqy_Rdbj4alj1NC2lM-1MX-lx3UdS8zGC-wGL7KUac4Puo-JccL5Wbom08P3YaOgS5zfyf8-yqcmiOi5qLR7hPcfaQHK4qi_cvheSzGPyD1svLOAXIkM9YPQ4tCA7/s1600/V%2526STuesTreats021417b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28S-QBsuHg-iVS3IZqy_Rdbj4alj1NC2lM-1MX-lx3UdS8zGC-wGL7KUac4Puo-JccL5Wbom08P3YaOgS5zfyf8-yqcmiOi5qLR7hPcfaQHK4qi_cvheSzGPyD1svLOAXIkM9YPQ4tCA7/s320/V%2526STuesTreats021417b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First up is the box for my daughter. I cut two hearts from the Neenah cardstock using the largest of the heart dies and then four from the same cardstock using the heart that is the next size down. I then used the same two dies to cut four large and two of the smaller hearts from the Polkadot Kraft Cardstock. I then used the large Kraft hearts to cover front and back of the large white hearts. I covered the front of one of the smaller white hearts with one of the smaller Kraft hearts and then stacked the remaining three hearts on top of one another, adhered them together, and then covered the front with a craft heart. I inked around the edges of the hearts with Thistle ink. I then cut a strip of the Kraft Cardstock for the sides that measured 1 1/2 x 7 1/4 inches and scored it lengthwise at 1 inch. I added a strong tape to both sides of the paper in the 1/2-inch space between the scoreline and the edge of the paper. I cut thin triangles through the tape up to the score line so that I could manipulate the paper around the smaller 2-layer heart. I then adhered that to one of the larger hearts that served as a base. I added the 4-layer heart to the middle of the second larger heart to create a lid for the box (the 4-layer heart fits into the box and keeps the lid from sliding off.<br />
<br />
To decorate the top of the box, I used the smallest heart die in the same die set to cut 2 hearts from Whimsy Fundamentals paper in Thistle. I used Thistle ink to create a patterned paper using the "XO" sentiment from Adore You (CTMH's January 2017 Stamp Of The Month) and double stamped the sentiment from the same set. I then cut out the sentiment using the label die from the Hello Lovely die set. I also tied a bow with Thistle Extra Thick Twine, and adhered one heart, the sentiment and the bow directly to the box. I then popped the other heart up using foam tape.<br />
<br />
Here's a look at some close ups of the box:<br />

And here's a look at my son's box:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I created it exactly the same way using the Woodgrain Kraft cardstock and paper from the Adventure Fundamentals paper pack. I also used White Bakers Twine to tie a knot for the top instead of a bow. The sentiment was stamped in Pacifica Ink, which I also used to ink around the edges of box.<br />
<br />
Here are some close ups:<br />

And here's a look at the boxes and their lids with the candy inside: (If I were making these to give away to friends, I would use wrapped candies instead of M&Ms.)</div>

Finally, I actually made these to match their Valentine cards. (You can see more about the cards <a href="http://violetsandsunshine.blogspot.com/2017/02/my-bunny-valentine.html">here</a>.)<br />

I think the kids enjoyed receiving them even more than I did making them, if that's possible! They aren't my quickest box, but I love the way they turned out. And I hope you've enjoyed them too. </div>

Just wanted to pop in and share a card I made using the Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit. The kit sold out quite some time ago, but I'll have links at the end of the post for the supplies I used. Now let's take a look at the card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcitc47A18aJhA0mhZXFZmR_DhVnyQGUyXB0iQ3v4ICVtbUa3bOEYk0Kq2fBFTnHj8NuS0u9pEH5J6-1x9IAKrKG31K_C0MxZjZuZJkhN0m8-n2Q7Tuef23DsRSzQADfPQxt2iRYHv2ZB/s1600/V%2526Ssimonfebkit021117a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcitc47A18aJhA0mhZXFZmR_DhVnyQGUyXB0iQ3v4ICVtbUa3bOEYk0Kq2fBFTnHj8NuS0u9pEH5J6-1x9IAKrKG31K_C0MxZjZuZJkhN0m8-n2Q7Tuef23DsRSzQADfPQxt2iRYHv2ZB/s320/V%2526Ssimonfebkit021117a.png" width="265" /></a></div>
<br />
For the base of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 inches and scored it at 5 1/2 inches to create a top-folding A2 sized card. I rounded the bottom corners of the card and then stamped the card base with images from the Simon Says Stamp Coffee & Tea stamp set in Desert Sand ink by Close To My Heart. I accented three of the hearts on the card base by tracing them with my White Signo Gel Pen.<br />
<br />
I layered a piece of patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar 6x6 paper pad that was cut to 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches. I cut down a piece of White Daisy Cardstock an inch smaller than the patterned paper and stamped the sentiment toward the top in Cocoa ink and popped it up on the card using foam tape. I cut banners from patterned papers in the Cream & Sugar paper pad and adhered them together. I then wrapped some hemp twine around one end of the banners and aded them to the card front using tape runner and foam adhesive. Finally, I added some absolutely adorable puffy stickers (also by Doodlebug) to the front to finish it off.<br />
<br />
Here are a few close-ups of the sentiment and those stickers:<br />

Hi All! So I wanted to share a couple of quick little Valentines I created with Close To My Heart's February Stamp Of The Month: Easter Bunny.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9nveFfAhQg_8gludd-RgY5t5wWS9Q5YRbSACm9DTlQIpy270JQMtXulRrA-8cz1HoM3qvO3sShtcLQ8G1wqLE2D7qpvQkq8osfumCBi7Dp2b6RAYi42CRDvXbwZoR0WDbGC-VsFSyKPyd/s1600/02f84c4d-a979-476e-9703-b1be99b8feee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9nveFfAhQg_8gludd-RgY5t5wWS9Q5YRbSACm9DTlQIpy270JQMtXulRrA-8cz1HoM3qvO3sShtcLQ8G1wqLE2D7qpvQkq8osfumCBi7Dp2b6RAYi42CRDvXbwZoR0WDbGC-VsFSyKPyd/s320/02f84c4d-a979-476e-9703-b1be99b8feee.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Yep, you read that right. A valentine made with an easter stamp. Take a look:<br />

<br />
I began creating these cards by stamping the bunnies on Kraft Cardstock using Desert Sand ink. (This ink color makes it really easy to achieve a "no line" effect when coloring on Kraft.) For the boy, I only stamped the bunny and then drew in the grass and clouds free-hand. I colored the whole scene using my Prismacolor Pencils. I then cut the panel down to fit on a 3 1/2 x 5 inch (4-Bar) white card using my Tim Holtz Stitched Rectangles Thinlit dies.<br />
<br />
To finish the card, I've added a strip of patterned paper from Close To My Heart's Adventure Fundamentals paper pack layered over a scrap of Kraft Cardstock. I added my bunny panel on top of those layers. Then I stamped a heart from the Operation Smile True Love stamp set in Pacifica ink on a scrap of white cardstock and cut it out with my scissors. The "Valentine" is from the Say It All stamp set that comes in the CTMH Flower Market Cricut Bundle. The whole sentiment reads "Happy Valentine's Day," but I masked off the words and didn't need and stamped "Valentine" in Pacifica ink on a scrap of white cardstock and cut it into a banner. I added the banner to the heart with glue dots and popped the whole thing up with foam tape. I added some hearts from the Way To Go stamp set to the front in first and second generation Pacifica, and then used the same ink and stamping techniques to add the sentiment from the Easter Bunny set to the inside.<br />
<br />
Here's some close-ups of the front and inside of the card:<br />

<br />
I created the girl bunny card exactly like the previous one except that I also stamped the grass with Desert Sand ink using a stamp from the Easter Bunny set. You might also notice that I added shoes to both bunnies. It bothers me, for some reason, to have the images shoeless. I do the same thing with the kids in the True Love set.<br />
<br />
Anyway, for the girl card, I used patterned paper from the Whimsy Fundamentals paper pack and Thistle ink for stamping.<br />
<br />
Here are some close-ups of the front and inside of the card:<br />

And there you have it! This stamp is absolutely adorable, and so much fun to color. You could also make a card that says "Somebunny Wishes You"...."Happy Valentine's Day." (It's on my list!) This really is a versatile set, and certainly not just for spring and Easter. </div>

Hi All! Welcome to another Tuesday Treats. We're in full Valentine mode here at the Hill house. I'm actually creating a little faster than I can blog, so be ready for a little Happy Heart Day celebrating throughout the month of February. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to share a little treat box today that actually folds flat and can really be used for any occasion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSTCIivHcN1DsehuqPvHchtomKJdmulh5iFvBQw_62eNBpgeB2yuT0U4pzk7R5_aVDLRlI0P_7A5BoMFzn1A7s-EBUfjxLzkYXfA3dfDo0IOjcSdwq_6rDckdSwzzDgLWiD35hfld1S0Sw/s1600/V%2526STuesTreats020717d.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSTCIivHcN1DsehuqPvHchtomKJdmulh5iFvBQw_62eNBpgeB2yuT0U4pzk7R5_aVDLRlI0P_7A5BoMFzn1A7s-EBUfjxLzkYXfA3dfDo0IOjcSdwq_6rDckdSwzzDgLWiD35hfld1S0Sw/s320/V%2526STuesTreats020717d.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For this box, I used a piece of polka dot kraft cardstock from Close To My Heart's Rustic Home Fundamentals paper collection cut to 6 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches. I used the same paper for the heart tag and cut it with the small heart from the Thin Cuts Basic Heart die set. The red heart was cut from the Cranberry Hearts paper in the Adventures Fundamentals paper pack using the extra small heart die from the same set. I popped the smaller heart on the larger with foam tape and added the XOXO sentiment from the CTMH Operation Smile: True Love stamp set in Cranberry in on White Daisy cardstock. I tied the tag on to the box and tied the box shut with a bit of bakers twine from my stash.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of close ups:<br />

I managed to get 6 Hershey Nuggets into this wee little box! To add a little extra somethin' to the package, I wrapped each nugget with a band of matching pattern paper that was cut to 1 x 3 inches.<br />
<br />
Here's a look at the box folded for storage:<br />

<br />
It really does fold completely flat, so you could make a bunch of these ahead of time and then decorate them in whatever the occasion calls for! The polkadots are festive, but certainly neutral enough to use any time of the year.<br />
<br />
And here's one more look at the package ready for giving:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The final dimensions of the box (in inches) are: 2(w) x 2(l) x 1 1/4(h). It could hold all kinds of things, really.<br />
<br />
So I hope you've enjoyed my little box. I'll get a tutorial together for it soon! In the meantime, have a wonderfully creative week!<br />

</div>
Hi All! Welcome to another Tuesday Treats. Today's box was inspired by a little Godiva candy box I received at Christmas. This cute little box requires no adhesive, which means you could make a number of them and store them flat for future use. Let's take a look:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkVHHK_cm4NpoAMRtLcaCBSqdiI_19A31RC_DcKB0FiDQDnWCvBC4NdBtobe6vvFPctrq0hQLqUa2tjnbhocYWdXo7lbCFthzabWJH0OGAmUN6MK_YxYCkhBS2dF9hF1b99xv_ak8xc3tL/s1600/V%2526STuesTreat013117d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkVHHK_cm4NpoAMRtLcaCBSqdiI_19A31RC_DcKB0FiDQDnWCvBC4NdBtobe6vvFPctrq0hQLqUa2tjnbhocYWdXo7lbCFthzabWJH0OGAmUN6MK_YxYCkhBS2dF9hF1b99xv_ak8xc3tL/s320/V%2526STuesTreat013117d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To create this box, I first made a template by tracing the shape of the original box onto some 110 lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTj-FmriqdrNXKmXUs74RPz0SmvxzSTNM3Pit8SX2ECmWkWALt4J4mHZHL18Ik2ILttBeJwk2MSjO8KZIvLlWOGFcCpU5g4ducgZlGvgkcMbulhBM-udKH1VPPU78bPLHxKpVczA6lAgC/s1600/V%2526STuesTreat013117e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTj-FmriqdrNXKmXUs74RPz0SmvxzSTNM3Pit8SX2ECmWkWALt4J4mHZHL18Ik2ILttBeJwk2MSjO8KZIvLlWOGFcCpU5g4ducgZlGvgkcMbulhBM-udKH1VPPU78bPLHxKpVczA6lAgC/s320/V%2526STuesTreat013117e.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I drew in score lines, making sure to get the correct angles, and then cut out the flaps and notches.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCydHYpb9_ONDEcmlBZoyKYgAJrx9ms5Lg9UsoQv9TgaumgGFtCBrpz6KRdVb8_W9faa7RSe9RN0JM1hkAwm63URM0F5b6-i7lLV2YZoWbhRUmc4owTsDwEVkKBU_8nvLKmOkYC7cfA0bj/s1600/V%2526STuesTreat013117b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCydHYpb9_ONDEcmlBZoyKYgAJrx9ms5Lg9UsoQv9TgaumgGFtCBrpz6KRdVb8_W9faa7RSe9RN0JM1hkAwm63URM0F5b6-i7lLV2YZoWbhRUmc4owTsDwEVkKBU_8nvLKmOkYC7cfA0bj/s320/V%2526STuesTreat013117b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I made the box itself from the fabulous Swan Lake Paper by Close To My Heart. For the embellishment, I used stamps from Close To My Heart's Some Kinda Wonderful (Cardmaking) stamp set. I stamped the bird image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on both the patterned paper and White Daisy Cardstock. I also stamped the speech bubble from the set on White Daisy in the same black ink. I colored the bird on the white cardstock with Copic Markers (Y02, Y06, Y15 and YR4 for the beak) and cut it out by hand, cutting off the feet and little feather. I added it directly to the front of the box, piecing it over the stamped image so that the feet and feather matched up. I added hearts to the speech bubble in Eggplant ink and hand cut the speech bubble from the cardstock. I popped the speech bubble up with foam tape. (This set has matching dies, which I have, that work beautifully. I didn't want the extra little border that the dies leave on this project, so I hand cut the images.) Finally, I added a few dots and lines with my Copic Multiliner to "ground" the bird on the box.<br />
<br />
I decided to make this box into a little bag, so I punch two little holes in the top fold of the bag and added some White & Gold striped ribbon for a handle, securing it with a little adhesive.<br />
<br />
Here's a look at the back of the bag. The closure is a series of flaps and notches.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi All! Thought I'd share a card that I made using a variety of media and Close To My Heart's January Stamp Of The Month: Adore You. Let's take a look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJnwknFf2f-CN5gfp0iwsIpVdNgVpSHdotM3mSbQY1J9995AE3EhhEhyHAqIEd52yAOBYA4leVTND3nqEeQJEx03M0E1DVm1STrCriGvLcjPmMGPx1lWDHM_PooXqmZa9zLQN2fODli72O/s1600/V%2526Shappycard012517b.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJnwknFf2f-CN5gfp0iwsIpVdNgVpSHdotM3mSbQY1J9995AE3EhhEhyHAqIEd52yAOBYA4leVTND3nqEeQJEx03M0E1DVm1STrCriGvLcjPmMGPx1lWDHM_PooXqmZa9zLQN2fODli72O/s320/V%2526Shappycard012517b.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the base of the card, I used Kraft cardstock cut to 4 1/4 x 11 inches and scored at 5 1/2 inches to make a top folding card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the card front, I cut two stitched ovals from White Daisy and Woodgrain cardstocks. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold on the White Daisy cardstock and then replaced it in the Woodgrain frame. I then went to work on the background, blending Peeled Paint, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks. I followed that up with a sprinkling of water and then blended Picket Fence and Hickory Smoke Distress Crayons into the Woodgrain paper to create a more weathered appearance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I was making this into a shaker card, I cut the same oval from two layers of craft foam that were slightly smaller than the card front. Since they were white, I went around the edges of the foam layers with an Aged Mahogany Distress Marker. I added the craft foam frames to the card base and fitted the sentiment oval into the frame and attached it to the base as well. I then added a mix of sequins and glitter, attached a piece of acetate to the front, and then layered the Woodgrain cardstock frame to the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish off the card, I used metal foliage flowers and leaves hardware that I "sewed" together with hemp twine. I used this element to anchor the second sentiment, which I stamped onto Kraft cardstock in Archival Black ink and then added a distressed feel to the piece with Aged Mahogany and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink along with a little Hickory Smoke and Picket Fence crayons just for fun. I added the sentiment and embellishment to the front of the card with foam tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a few close-ups:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been a while since I've done a card that was this technique heavy. It was so much fun, I really should do more. I hope you've enjoyed it seeing it as much as I enjoyed making it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember, the January Stamp Of The Month retires next week, so get it while you can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the meantime, have a wonderfully creative day!</div>

To create these little bags, I used a 6x6 inch piece of patterned paper. (I chose patterns that had no obvious direction to them, which makes life oh so much easier.) I scored the paper at 1, 2 3/4, 3 3/4, and 5 1/2 inches. Then rotated my paper 90 degrees and scored at 1 and 5 1/2 inches. (If you use paper with a directional pattern, place it in your scoring tool so that the pattern is in the right direction and then score using the first set of measurements. Rotate the paper 90 degrees <b>to the right</b>, and score using the second set of measurements. That should keep your pattern going the right way for the box.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I turned my paper so that the last two scores I made now ran horizontally and that the narrowest score line from the edge of the paper (the 5 1/2-inch line) was at the top. I removed the tiny little box at the top right corner where the two 5 1/2-inch score lines cross, added adhesive in the 1/2-inch space between the score line and the edge of the paper, and then folded the paper back on itself so that the reverse side was showing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then cut up the vertical score lines from the bottom edge of the paper to the 1-inch horizontal score line and removed the little 1-inch x 1/2-inch tab at the bottom right corner. I added adhesive down the right side between the 5 1/2-inch score line and the edge of the paper and sealed the bag together vertically. I then folded in the bottom flaps and sealed the bottom shut. And that's the bag done. </div>

Here's a look at each bag and how I finished them off:</div>

To decorate this bag, I cut a banner from White Daisy cardstock using the Thin Cuts from the Hello Lovely Cardmaking Bundle. I stamped the sentiment from Adore You a little to the right in Sea Glass ink and added 2 hearts from Hello Lovely in second generation Blossom ink. I finished up the banner by going around the edge with my Gold Shimmer Brush. I then used my Think Cuts Hearts to cut a heart from White Daisy cardstock, fed the banner through the heart, and popped them up on the front with foam tape. I stamped the floral heart on White Daisy in second generation Blossom ink, cut it out by hand, and popped that up off the banner. Finally, I filled the box with Hershey nuggets and closed it up with White & Gold ribbon.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This bag is decorated a little more simply, and, I think, works for a more masculine gift. I cut the XO heart using the Think Cuts Basic Heart dies and then stamped it using the XO stamp from Adore You. I stamped XO in the center of the heart in Whisper ink and then added the XO's around it in second generation Whisper. I also used Whisper ink to ink around the edges to help give the heart more definition. I then cut a label from the Hello Lovely dies and stamped my sentiment in Pomegranate ink. The label was too long, so I ran it back through my die machine and used the same die to cut off the excess. I then edged it with my Gold Shimmer Brush and popped it and the heart onto the front of the bag with foam tape. I closed the bag using a mini bulldog clip from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's it! The finished bag measurements in inches are 4 1/2 x 1 3/4 x 1. It easily holds 5 Hershey Nuggets, but you can squeeze in 6.</div>

</div>
Hi All! Just a quick post to share a fun little treat box project with you today. (Here is a link to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfrpgcogZXU">my inspiration</a>.)<br />
<br />
So let's take a look:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4wUGX68QUdZDrWMODJhfakkr4mZLDl9-l5JApF2iKPFmuyi690R1SGFTTvtsudrGXmnyrQA1Ok1XIjdV6U5nPAognZf3EDUNjqnB7eL3AIkHaulUZwQbNQjFyyGwVSwq5ut9FX-kfQusA/s1600/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4wUGX68QUdZDrWMODJhfakkr4mZLDl9-l5JApF2iKPFmuyi690R1SGFTTvtsudrGXmnyrQA1Ok1XIjdV6U5nPAognZf3EDUNjqnB7eL3AIkHaulUZwQbNQjFyyGwVSwq5ut9FX-kfQusA/s320/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017a.png" width="310" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUj2_JbgJaxz331FYHGB8vwqxJ68mAhRsZAm_BHvQ73kpg0D4MQiTK6wXzfgYhOBjd8f3gptySr6izMsmqkaqaeTs_RJtkCxF14-Nba7volbuTMcfZ722ERbt8ZLIYbfe8_HNMsZU5gnQB/s1600/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017a1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUj2_JbgJaxz331FYHGB8vwqxJ68mAhRsZAm_BHvQ73kpg0D4MQiTK6wXzfgYhOBjd8f3gptySr6izMsmqkaqaeTs_RJtkCxF14-Nba7volbuTMcfZ722ERbt8ZLIYbfe8_HNMsZU5gnQB/s320/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017a1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I created this box using Whisper and White Daisy cardstocks by Close To My Heart, along with the new Sugar Rush paper pack. The flowers and heart shape is from CTMH's January Stamp Of The Month: Adore You. The sentiment itself is from the (now-retired) December Stamp of The Month: Thoughtful Flowers. I stamped the sentiment on White Daisy cardstock in Whisper ink, and colored it with my Prismacolor Pencils. I then cut out the image and popped it up on the front with foam tape. Finally, I added some eyelets and White & Gold ribbon for a closure.<br />
<br />
Here's a look at the inside:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRPcJmWmmbXhtKGT-228Ljmt_ziZ62DvPXF80-GA_NFQJOdIMjKwKUH_SRlgFzww9iHR_aVEssMputkEoog6L0SmwTHsWFD8MRDpmq5QLQBZut0dT1uZVHUuh8p355qpC4rg2zpsJ2yM7M/s1600/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017collage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRPcJmWmmbXhtKGT-228Ljmt_ziZ62DvPXF80-GA_NFQJOdIMjKwKUH_SRlgFzww9iHR_aVEssMputkEoog6L0SmwTHsWFD8MRDpmq5QLQBZut0dT1uZVHUuh8p355qpC4rg2zpsJ2yM7M/s400/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017collage.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The box will hold two tea bags and three Ghirardelli chocolates (or four as a tight squeeze). You could also fit a nice little gift card in it if you would like.<br />
<br />
Here's the treat box one more time:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBQhkTLyemone3F0eR5FOXWPyLwZMx6U7S8HwcgxjmY5L7TI38Ib7hUZqo1Gu7NH0QZlwMx1DtT-aIUJfHEY9Mlj5kxNTfkRc6cxanBQLMrLvoKstaotHKM7lVbZr6tsQc-WdTOONQ1RT/s1600/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBQhkTLyemone3F0eR5FOXWPyLwZMx6U7S8HwcgxjmY5L7TI38Ib7hUZqo1Gu7NH0QZlwMx1DtT-aIUJfHEY9Mlj5kxNTfkRc6cxanBQLMrLvoKstaotHKM7lVbZr6tsQc-WdTOONQ1RT/s320/VS-CTMH-SOTMJan2017a.png" width="310" /></a></div>
<br />
Pretty cool, huh? I thought it would make a fun little teachers gift. Stay tuned for some more treat ideas coming soon!<br />
<br />
Until then, have a wonderfully creative day!<br />

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's SO much to love about this release, it was truly hard to choose what to feature today. However, I decided that I just couldn't pass up the sweetness of the Sugar Rush Collection. (See what I did there?) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's take a look:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So for today's project, I decided to do a sweet little card set. (I promise to stop punning soon....) I created this split top card box using cardstocks in White Daisy and Sea Glass. (I was inspired by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO0F0ECoUYI">this tutorial</a>, but I changed up the measurements a bit so that I could store envelopes in the box as well.) I also used the Sugar Rush washi tape to create the hinges for the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To decorate the box, I added layers of Sugar Rush paper to both the inside and the outside of the box and then added a panel to the top with foam tape. I also used the panel to attach hook and loop dots for a closure. I embellished my panel with images and a sentiment from the Sugar Rush (Scrapbooking) Stamp Set. (It's not just for scrapbooking folks!) I stamped the ice cream cones on White Daisy cardstock in Tangerine, Sea Glass, Blossom, and Canary inks and hand cut them. I added some glitz to the ice cream with my Gold Shimmer Pen and a bow of White and Gold ribbon to top it off. The sentiment is stamped in Whisper ink and I added some Blossom-colored sprinkles to the back ground for interest. I finished off the front with Gold Glitter Gems to mimic the gold shimmer on the ice cream.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This box actually holds 6 cards and their envelopes. For the cards, I used images and matching thin cut dies from the Sugar Rush (Cardmaking) Bundle. LOVE the donuts! The cards are standard A2 bases in White Daisy. I added a panel of Sea Glass cardstock layered with Sugar Rush paper and popped up the sweet treats on the front with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment in Whisper ink. Finally, I added diamond stickles to the treats for pizazz and some shimmer to the sentiment with my Clear Shimmer Brush, because can you really have too much sparkle?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Happy New Year! I just wanted to pop in and share a little welcome wreath I made to hang in our entry way. It was super easy to put together using Close To My Heart's limited edition Welcome Home wreath kit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmo65OlCn4z5B4X4v9fvrf1QJNTYPJsoFh4gdHcqd-d6uSz4frCLURPExmpl4BZR_DsqLsmmPF8vbZcqvjdKp9FtX4it_U8_pltqMnv1LIw5huxpOjd0e_S30jA86CTIujs1C9hURu-xJ/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmo65OlCn4z5B4X4v9fvrf1QJNTYPJsoFh4gdHcqd-d6uSz4frCLURPExmpl4BZR_DsqLsmmPF8vbZcqvjdKp9FtX4it_U8_pltqMnv1LIw5huxpOjd0e_S30jA86CTIujs1C9hURu-xJ/s400/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Let's take a look:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9P0E8rhm7y99Wbrp0MOZIwZGwUCHespLyr7ar92aGzHLzw9V-2TqQhVwD-Z8eJvAJ9Dzi6Bwdg7icdADQibs1GfvytzSgCNa02pyTosdzrseG1fi0mpvLg_SdtIPs5TjnuRP53vXwlb56/s1600/V%2526Swelcomewreath010417a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9P0E8rhm7y99Wbrp0MOZIwZGwUCHespLyr7ar92aGzHLzw9V-2TqQhVwD-Z8eJvAJ9Dzi6Bwdg7icdADQibs1GfvytzSgCNa02pyTosdzrseG1fi0mpvLg_SdtIPs5TjnuRP53vXwlb56/s320/V%2526Swelcomewreath010417a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wreath base is made from extra-heavy, pre-cut chipboard that you layer with pre-cut paper. All of the succulents, flowers, and greenery pieces are also pre-cut and waiting for you to pop out and put together. I inked around the edges of all of my pieces before I layered them together. I used liquid glass to layer the pieces and my quilling tool to curl some of the edges. I also used my quilling tool to create the roses, which I decided to leave completely white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To assemble the wreath, I attached the pattern paper over the wreath form. Then, using liquid glass, I added the banner a little off-set, and then added my flowers, beginning with the roses. I attached the succulents from largest to smallest and then filled in spaces with greenery. Once all of the florals were attached, I added my sentiment with gold stickers that are included in the kit. I also added gold glitter gems and pearls from my stash to the center of the succulents for some extra pizazz.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a collage of close-ups of the flowers:</div>

Hi All! Welcome to the final installment of the Kraft-y Hearts Terrific Tag Tuesday Blog Share. If you haven't already, be sure to hop over and see what the amazingly talented <a href="http://www.frommybungalow.blogspot.com/">Lynn Darda</a> has to share with you today at <a href="http://www.frommybungalow.blogspot.com/">From My Bungalow</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now on to today's project. So when is a tag not a tag? When it's also an envelope! Let's take a look:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB7spm9SqUEst9i18XUMXPx8fvcxQdOFEqJaqtmsSEmuNs7IV2Q-tV_kPpw-CosTY1tn-OFWFQJups_BIMxX2648EwwuAofBe_m6RoLRfBCm7kgWkNxgVJpBdd1__St_jMWK0_dJ8I4cyn/s1600/KHBS122016TagTues1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB7spm9SqUEst9i18XUMXPx8fvcxQdOFEqJaqtmsSEmuNs7IV2Q-tV_kPpw-CosTY1tn-OFWFQJups_BIMxX2648EwwuAofBe_m6RoLRfBCm7kgWkNxgVJpBdd1__St_jMWK0_dJ8I4cyn/s320/KHBS122016TagTues1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So today's tag is fashioned after the library pocket you used to find in the back of books that housed the lending card.<br />
<br />
I used heavy black cardstock for both the tag and the card, and rounded the top corners of both. I layered both the tag and the card with papers from Close To My Heart's Happy, Happy Christmas My Crush pages. Then embellished the tag with black shimmer ribbon and snowflakes cut from white glitter paper. I also added a white eyelet to the top and finished it off with black shimmer ribbon and red and white bakers twine from my stash.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJH54JVfGy2aql1uR2wMEi8rL1MoEunjdpjYhZ7N3ukLMy4Jju2OPmQzHF2qRO7SPyXuP-JUNqaukgxVMwvZRiTxnJsLsmD4f9wRxlFEvu9hd42r1xky6C5_IRu_8UZSPbi2G55xEg9chp/s1600/KHBS122016TagTues2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJH54JVfGy2aql1uR2wMEi8rL1MoEunjdpjYhZ7N3ukLMy4Jju2OPmQzHF2qRO7SPyXuP-JUNqaukgxVMwvZRiTxnJsLsmD4f9wRxlFEvu9hd42r1xky6C5_IRu_8UZSPbi2G55xEg9chp/s320/KHBS122016TagTues2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For the card, I added a sentiment to a Happy, Happy Christmas Picture My Life card and attached it to the front of the card. The sentiment is from the Very Merry Stamp Set and is stamped in Black Archival ink. I added a couple of snowflakes to the front that I punched out of white glitter paper.<br />
<br />
Here's another look at the front of the card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To finish off the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Very Merry Stamp Set in Sea Glass ink onto White Daisy cardstock and layered it onto the black base.<br />
<br />
Here's another look at the tag with the card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hi All! Welcome to the second installment of the Kraft-y Hearts' Terrific Tag Tuesday Blog Share. If you haven't been by Lynn's <a href="http://www.frommybungalow.blogspot.com/">Bungalow</a> to see what she has in store, you're missing out! So don't forget to pop by.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, let's take a look at today's tag:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6BuScGabyge-nnER0dNUee4TTqhe6N-_vNA5hUEdE48L2NBgvPD3MIWQFd8Fha9pXwl8kSKecBTyDYLx1WuHcaEB3cWeZAAVl-SCsx594isqZqV26itSdxPdfKcIuy79zmPgTpDi8R0R/s1600/KHBS121316TagTues1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6BuScGabyge-nnER0dNUee4TTqhe6N-_vNA5hUEdE48L2NBgvPD3MIWQFd8Fha9pXwl8kSKecBTyDYLx1WuHcaEB3cWeZAAVl-SCsx594isqZqV26itSdxPdfKcIuy79zmPgTpDi8R0R/s400/KHBS121316TagTues1.png" width="341" /></a></div>
<br />
To create this tag, I cut the base from Neenah Solar White 110 pound cardstock. I then used Close To My Heart's Cozy Christmas Stamp Set, along with the coordinating dies, to finish it off. I began by stamping the outline of the snowman, his face and buttons on White Daisy cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I added his nose in Tangerine ink. I then stamped his hat in Tuxedo Black, his arms in Saddle Ink, and his scarf in Cranberry ink, all on White Daisy cardstock. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the pieces and set them aside. For the back ground, I stamped the two trees from Cozy Christmas in Willow Ink and snowflakes from the same set in Lagoon.<br />
<br />
After I finished the background, I put the hat and arms on my snowman and popped him up on the tag using thin foam tape. I added his scarf with thin foam tape as well. I stamped the sentiment on White Daisy cardstock in Lagoon ink and then created a little wooden sign using my W0 and W3 Copic markers and my Bronze ShinHan marker. I added the sign to the tag with a layer of regular and a layer thin foam tape.<br />
<br />
I finished it off by adding Liquid Glass to the hat, Christmas Red Stickles to the hatband and scarf, and Diamond Stickles to the eyes, nose, mouth, and buttons of the snowman, and to the centers of the snowflakes. When that was completely dry, I added some black marker accents to ground the whole scene and then tied on three strands of bakers twine from my stash for a hanger.<br />
<br />
Here's a close up:<br />

I hope you enjoyed this fun little tag. Don't forget to hop by <a href="http://www.frommybungalow.blogspot.com/">From My Bungalow</a> to see what inspiring goodness Lynn has for you. And by the way, this cute little stamp set and its coordinating dies will be retiring at the end of the month, so you might want to grab it while you can.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderfully creative day!<br />

Hi All! Just wanted to share a little home decor project with you today that I created using a Mini Clipboard by Tim Holtz. I use these little clipboards in my altered art projects a lot because the clip is completely removable making the board a cinch to cover.<br />
<br />
For this little piece, I used leftover papers from the My Crush Happy, Happy Christmas collection by Close to My Heart to cover both the front and the back of the board. I added a sentiment card from the Happy, Happy Christmas Picture My Life cards, and then went to town on embellishments.<br />
<br />
I began by adding Cranberry Striped Twill Ribbon to to board and then created a flower-bow from loops of the same ribbon, layered with loops of jute ribbon from the Rustic Home Ribbon Pack by Close To My Heart. I finished off the flower-bow with a metal button from my stash. I then cut a variety of greenery from Fern, Ponderosa Pine (a retired color), and Cranberry Cardstock scraps using the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens Mini Thinlits die set. I layered the greens and berries sprigs behind the flower-bow using a little Liquid Glass at the very base of the stems. I punched a snowflake from the same paper with which I covered the board, and attached it to the sentiment card with a glue dot. To finish everything off, I added Diamond Stickles to the snowflake and Christmas Red Stickles to the berries. I also added a little jute ribbon to the top of the clipboard just for a little somethin' extra.<br />
<br />
Here's a collage of close-ups showing the details:<br />

Hi All! Welcome to a little midweek mojo! It's been awhile since we played along with the folks over at Mojo Monday, but I just couldn't pass up this week's sketch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJbt2DVWMKGkzqsKnzbOl2YoMhaZsF7HoScDXCepUiLGAqWqXH-aBYSc5OtLwtN6n330XpLFBw8T__4jT6MAp5n5lH63fQXM1PjqHG8kZIb087y0p1SRqfeBedR-__Tm59tIgeXV79Jjxg/s1600/mojo477.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJbt2DVWMKGkzqsKnzbOl2YoMhaZsF7HoScDXCepUiLGAqWqXH-aBYSc5OtLwtN6n330XpLFBw8T__4jT6MAp5n5lH63fQXM1PjqHG8kZIb087y0p1SRqfeBedR-__Tm59tIgeXV79Jjxg/s200/mojo477.gif" width="145" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
Here's my take on it:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_bg2gW7ZYLT-kjLVksEPrbSly7Zi6YavWJWzh9ZQ3o3StWR3k7UgILpU3EY6QHDP2CMZvAqH5gTl6VW1lC-I4JiUQ7JzhRInrOKEOjhLxfIjm_wHvhCUjWrh55JhhfOyjRq3R5VkaWmY/s1600/VSmojomon477-120716-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_bg2gW7ZYLT-kjLVksEPrbSly7Zi6YavWJWzh9ZQ3o3StWR3k7UgILpU3EY6QHDP2CMZvAqH5gTl6VW1lC-I4JiUQ7JzhRInrOKEOjhLxfIjm_wHvhCUjWrh55JhhfOyjRq3R5VkaWmY/s320/VSmojomon477-120716-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I created this card using a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch base created from Kraft Cardstock. For the card front, I layered a 3 3/4 x 5 inch piece of Cranberry cardstock with scraps of patterned paper from the My Crush and Picture My Life Happy, Happy Christmas collections by Close To My Heart. I stamped "Wishing You" on a scrap of a Picture My Life card in New England Ivy Ink, and "Peace" and the ampersand on a Picture My Life card that I cut down to 2 3/4 x 4 inches. "Peace" is stamped in Cranberry Ink and the ampersand is in New England Ivy. For these sentiments, I used the XXX stamp set by Concord & 9th. The gold foiled star is from Close To My Heart's Oh Deer! Complements. I then tied red seam binding ribbon (from my stash) around the card front and added the star and "Wishing You" to it with thin foam tape. I then added the whole thing to the card base using my ATG adhesive.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a collage of close-ups:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
