Snow flakes

Happy Friday everyone , Wow hard to believe it is the last Friday of 2011.....

The year went so fast I hope next year slows down a little..lol Well it is SOUS challenge again

this time it is ( Snow flakes ) I had a bunch of ideas lined up and then I got s-i-c-k so I went very simple! I used Cricut cart art of philosophy that I got from Carrie her Link is at the top of my page if you would like to ck it out.... for the snow flake , cut it out and used the negative to make the card I trimmed it down to size and added the dotted paper behind it.

Doodle stitched all around it. I used CTMH chip board tag and stamp I heat embossed the stamp..

Added some bakers twine and it is done...The colors are not so great the lighting was bad sorry....

Well wishing you a very Blessed and Happy New Year , See you in 2012!

Country cookin recipe box

Good Friday morning all , My Daughter has been asking me for a recipe box for a while now and I come across this nice box @ Moms Memories brought it home and started on it right away....lol

It is another Kaisercraft they have so many nice things to make, I had to put it together and let me tell you this one was a lot easier than the advent calendar.

I first painted it black ( she likes country too haha) used graphic 45 papers inked the edges

covered everything inside and out with the papers....

Used lace / sm rosettes/buttons and bows.....

Cricut cart Country Life for all the cuts inked them and doodled of course....

used a corner punch and added that to the corners.

Had to add a cow to the front as she is a huge cow lover...lol

I was just gonna at decorative paper on the inside of the lid then I thought it would be a useful to add the measurement conversion chart. This was a fun easy project and I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend

I used paper and folded it and made a box behind the tree to make it 3D.

Cricut cartridge Christmas cheer for the fire place also added branch punch on the mantel and folded box behind it also.....

The title came from cricut cart Winter woodland and plantin school I mixed and matched ...

For the top I used gingham ribbon that I LOVE...country. a bell some greenery and some sm bows .... I choose these colors because I love country and they are the traditional colors reds,greens.
