Long time no blog...

So it's been a few months since I posted on here. I accidentally deleted all the photos on my camera awhile back so I lost a bunch of pictures of the things I had been working on :( anyway I am back and have a few pictures of new stuff.

First off I've still been doing the name frames and actually just had my first paid job! I love to do frames that match the room they will be going in.

Here is the nursery bedding:




And here is the name frame:




And some others:




I've also been going a little box crazy :) with all the graduations, birthdays and other occasions I found it's a fun way to give a gift card and a few other treats. Here are just a few I've done.

Graduations - these have the first name initial on them




Father's Day - gift for Papa this actually had a watch in it and it fit perfectly :)



Birthdays



Another diaper cake and party favors, I loving doing the diaper cakes.



Squash book - I finally finished this book for Nana of her grandkids.

Card I made..

Simple box

Last night I was trying to think of something to make that would use up the rest of the valentines candy so I wouldn’t eat it! I came up with the idea for this little box. The measurements are 4 inches wide by 2 inches high, perfect for a handful Ghirardelli and Dove chocolates. I used an 8inX10in piece of cardstock. On the 8in side score the paper at 2 and 6in. On the 10in side score at 1/2in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9& ½ inches. Trim the excess pieces as indicated in the drawing. Fold on all scored lines, assemble with permanent adhesive of choice and decorate! I kept mine simple as it was much past my bedtime :). The paper I used was from Craftwarehouse and the stamp from the $1 bin @ Michaels.
