Happy New Years/Happy Birthday To Me!

In a few minutes it will be 2009 and I want to take this time out to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope we are all blessed with good health for our families. I hope this New Year brings great things for everyone. I hope that I don't look any older since I'm a New Years' baby. Oh yeah and I hope to have a safe day at work....I really don't want to work on my B-day, but I have to. Happy New Years'!!!!

Hello Kitty Mini Paint Can

She is such a cute cat! I decorated this paint can with my HKF cart and Nesties. This was a real quick project. I will fill this can with candy for Valentine's Day for my DD. TFL.

Altered Bank/Bucket Bag/Bookmark

Today I did something that I love to do. I altered something! This container was given to us by our Electric Company with two energy efficient bulbs inside. Once the bulbs are removed it becomes a bank to put all the money that you saved while using the bulbs. I started out with soft colors today and kept that color scheme through all of my projects. Today was my second attempt at using Flower Soft. I didn't use the recommended PVC glue, I just used regular glue. I will be purchasing PVC glue in the near future. The Flower Soft give the projects dimension, but it is hard to tell from the pictures. Every time I try to get a close up picture it comes out horrible. I didn't use any Cricut other than the Bucket purse that was designed by Jen C. I used my DD Cuttle Kids die cuts for the tulip and handbag. I added some bling and beads to wake up the soft colors. (Updated with close ups...although the color of everything changed in the pics>) TFL

Pillow Box

I really am taking advantage of my vacation days which are soon to end. I go back to work on Monday and I'm trying to complete as many projects as I can. I made this pillow box with the Wedding cart and I used nesties for the heart. I can fill the pillow box with candy for the kids. I decorated this picture frame for my daughter's school picture. The definition defines her very well.

Valentine Window Box

This box is so cute! Thanks, Jen C for the cut file! I used the same colors that I used on the Hobo purse so I may make a coordinating card next. I hope everyone is enjoying the after Christmas sales out there.

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone received what they wanted under the tree. Of course the most important gifts are right in our faces everyday: family and friends. I decided to give Jen C's (hobo) purse a Valentine's Day look. I used the Cuttlebug (paisley) embossing folder and a Martha Stewart border punch. TFL.

The Cutiest Purse!

I love this purse! This is a cut file from the very talented Jen C, she is definitely one of my enablers. This was a very easy file to cut and assemble. I used Springtime colors and as an afterthought I could see this as a bag to give little girls some Easter candy in. I can see it in red for Valentine's day also. I added a Friskars border punch at the bottom, a tag from TBBM and a flower from Plantin. My eight year old saw it and held her hand out saying, "Mom, hand it here"
Not yet, Prea! Jen C, thanks for the cut file you are great!!
