My Sister's Creation

My sister and I spent most of yesterday stamping and creating, and I have to share one of her nugget box beauties . . . . and she thinks she isn't creative - ha! Tell her, okay? I apologize for the picture. Note to self . . . make light box!

Thanks for a great day, sis. We have to do it again very soon, ya hear?

Birthday Bouquet

Here is my project of the day. I've been wanting to make one of these "bouquets" since I saw them over at Splitcoast Stampers. I started with a small tin for my vase. I used the Sizzix Daisy (large and small) and a digital kit called "Eat Cake" that I downloaded from PaperCrafts website (see previous post) to make the flowers and cover the vase. The flowers are mounted on straws (clear) and the "leaves" are ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spooky Treats

Making these little tins and nugget boxes is so addictive. They are quick and cute . . . so right up my alley. I've already made some for Christmas too. You know those people you want to remember at Christmas but don't want to spend too much . . . maybe the UPS driver, postman, the ladies at the bank, etc.? I figure I've got about $3 invested in each of the completed tins and much less in the nugget boxes. And when you mass produce by stamping sheets of labels at a time and working assembly line style, it's surprising how fast these can be made. I got the ideas from Nicole Heady here and Debbie Olson here. These ladies are so incredibly talented and inspirational.
