Image Swap - Lena's July Image

We have just returned from a great week of camping in Idaho with friends.  What FUN!!

Well, it took a bit of finger crossing but my July image from Lena arrived safe and sound through the mail despite the Canadian postal strike. 

For the image swap, Lena decided to really change things up a bit and I love it!!  This cute image is from Dustin Pike.  My son was totally pumped.  His comment was, "Well, they did it.  They found a way to mix dragons and space". 

I decided that I wanted to use this particular background paper with my space dragon so I wanted to cut him out.  But then I needed a surface for him to stand on.  I didn't ha\v one so I just created one!! 

You need to go see what everyone else did with this cool dude of a dragon HERE. 

Thanks for dropping by today!!!  Have a great one!

Orange Teapot Get Well

  I finally got this card finished for the Hot Beverage challenge over on Gingersnap Creations blog.

Tea Pot (Tea for Two, Papertrey Ink) and Tea Cup (Everyday Classics, Papertrey Ink) were stamped with Spiced Marmalade (Distress Ink, Ranger) and cut.  I adhered them atop of a label (which is traced from a beer bottle label) with the cup up on dimensionals.

That was then adhered to the designer paper (BasicGrey).  A few orange rhinstones were adhered to eaither side of the sentiment for some bling-y-ness.

Off to see what others did with this theme.

Enjoy your day.

The Valentine Bug

It's true...I've totally been bitten by the Valentine Bug!! I am sitting here browsing all things valentine!! I can't seem to get enough.

I do have a bunch of projects on the go, however, I am not ready to share yet (other than a few sneak peeks). So, I decided to share this Valentine Box that I made for my wonderful son last year!!

Yep, you read that right, I actually made that box, from flat vanilla cardstock and adhesive!!

It wasn't all that hard, just the time it took for the glue to set when I glued the sides to the bottom and top!! I covered the top with torn paper and ModPodged it.

I just love how it turned out. I keep it on my "display shelf" in my craft room. It reminds me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it!!

Thanks for visiting.
