A Beauttiful Morning

In the everyday rush of getting everything done; going to work, household chores, taking care of children, husband, and pets, sometimes we forget to look around and see the beauty in the world all around us. On this morning, I looked around...

Matching Wreath

Coloring

Really enjoyed coloring this Vera Bradley pattern page with my Pitt pens and white Uniball pen! This would be great on the front of a mini album or card!

Holiday Wreath

Made this Wreath to celebrate the holidays.

Peppermint Stocking Stuffer

Cute little box of peppermints would make an excellent stocking stuffer or small gift! Perhaps a gift embellishment. I made this one at a scrapbooking event, but it would be easy to make at home. This is just a box die and scalloped circles for a tag. The tree on the tag was a die also, but any christmas cut shape or die would do. Add a treat bag and a bit of twine and Voila!

Candy Canes

Made this lovely candy jar at a Christmas Open House at Violette's in Lakeland last weekend. I think it is so cute and would make a lovely gift for a neighbor or co-worker.

Feeling Festive

It's getting to be that time of year again, so I decided to bring out some Holiday cheer. This is my festive dining room table. I can't wait to have our holiday meals right here!

Celebrating...

What better place to spend your birthday than at the mall with Dad?

Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest Thanks Card

Here is a photo of our booth/tent at the Viva Sarasota Latino Festival on Main Street, Lakewood Ranch, FL two Saturdays ago. We got rained out at about 4:00 p.m. but a great time was had by all!

I love making these waterfall mini albums. With a sturdy chipboard frame on the outside, this little album could be carried in a purse or displayed on a coffee table. You can get up to 16 pictures in this little album and even have a place to journal on the tag in the slot on the left side of the album. Find this one and others like it in my Etsy store at:

Christmas Teacup

Just trying to get ahead of Christmas this year! These paper teacups with all the goodies inside make a wonderful little gift for coworkers and neighbors!

Repurposed Starbucks Bottle

I love to save these little Starbucks Frappucino bottles to make into something pretty. This shabby chic style is my favorite way to repurpose these perfect sized bottles. Inside, I store all kinds of things, like spare change, seashells from a nearby beach for our collection, or odds and ends that are my studio art supplies. I just love the feeling I get from taking something to be thrown away and making it useful again!

Mini Albums

Making mini albums for the upcoming Viva Sarasota Craft Show!
