Ring Out The Old & Ring In The New

Welcome to all my new readers and lookers. I am starting off the new year with a new blog.
This will be my new home. I am changing some things in my life now so I will be posting more hopefully. I want to show lots of crafts that I complete. And I believe that it can be done better here. Please still follow me and enjoy your visit here.  I hope to achieve more this year than last year. Meaning new friends, new memories, new crafts and new ideas to spread to the world of paper crafting. I really enjoy making crafts for others to see and obtain. I like to give my new paper creations to friends and family, mainly because I enjoy creating and giving and watching them smile. Thanks for reading and following me.

New Year Coming Soon

Have you all started getting those craft projects completed for the new year? Well esp if it is a calendar project. Need to start quickly ladies. Below is one I have completed. The ingredients are simply a clip board from Walmart. Miscellaneous decorative papers, push pins, paper clips, note pad from Staples. A sheet of cork cut to fit. The end result is a cute message center to hang by a phone. What hang by a phone? Who still has a phone hanging on the wall? Any way maybe someone still does. But it looks great to me hanging on my wall in my Craft Studio. Very simple to make. I don't actually have ant measurements because I just guess at what size of the paper I wanted and where. Sorry ladies. Any way enjoy. And oh get started soon on those calendar projects!!!

Snowman Soup Filled

Remember the great Snowman Soup? Well when you get ready to fill the jars it turns into a wonderful gift. When it got closer to filling time just fill the jars with cocoa, Hershey kisses, marshmallows, peppermint. It makes a great gift for anyone. Covering the actual container was difficult to me be I did survive. Next time I believe I will just stick to a pretty basket. I think I can cover a basket better.
Thanks for looking.

CD Album

Took a new item and totally learned how to add goodies and alter it some. This is a mailing CD case altered some. I used three of them and random papers from Cloud 9 Design.
I love the look this actually gave. This would make a great thank you gift, or something small just to say hi, or I miss you. Any way I basically used the normal glue we all use, Cloud 9 Design Papers and small embellishments.
Thanks
