Wait...

I thought I would share a scrapbook page. This is a page about my little Dixie and her toys that got a bath. She is my little baby and I love her more than anything, but she has no patience or self-control.

Something New

I think I will try something new-

Wild Wednesday

Here is how it will work. I will randomly pick 2 stamp sets from all my boxes, and randomly(by closing my eyes and pointing) pick one color of stamp pad. After picking all of those, I will then look at the CTMH color combo guide and add 2 additional colors for the project. Then post what I create here for you to enjoy, or laugh-(whatever seems fitting) every Wednesday.

2 random stamps-Star Struck and Little Fill-ups with jar (retired), Random color-Sunny Yellow, added colors-Kiwi and Bubblegum

So I think I got lucky this time-"stars" and "Catch a Star!" I would love to see what you can make with these 2 stamps. If you have pull them out and give it a try!! Post a link to your card if you want.

B-I-N-G-O

I made this cute little game for a Birthday gift. (I'm sure he will like the jelly beans more than the game) . I downloaded the template for bingo off the Internet, and random stamped 4 playing boards. I then printed off rows of BINGO for the caller pieces and stamp them as well. I punched the caller pieces with a 1.25" circle punch. I plan on having all of it laminated to protect the game. The jelly beans are for marking the squares, but after they are gone you could use buttons, or squares of colored paper.

***Edit*** by request, I have added the template for bingo, the one I had been emailing is not working for some reason.

St. Patrick's Box and instructions

Here is a super easy box that would be great filled up with all sorts of thing. Below you will find the step by step instructions.

Start with a sheet of Cardstock 11.75 x 11.75. Score one side at 1", 4.25", 7.5" and 10.75".

Turn the cardstock the other direction, and make the same sore marks. 1", 4.25", 7.5" and 10.75".

Using your craft knife or paper trimmer remove the 4 corners of the page, leaving just a cross. See the picture for more details.

Using the corner rounder make scallops on all four 1" flaps.

At this time you can stamp your box. Remember to turn your image the correct direction, so that when you fold up you box sides the image is facing the right direction.

On each side of each box flap mark and punch 2 holes. In the picture you can see that I punched at 1.25" and 2.25". I also used a small hole punch that makes a 1/16" hole.

Each flap has 4 holes, so you need to punch 16 holes total.

Use ribbon, fibers or hemp to tie up the sides. Fill with your favorite treat!

Cards for the Troops

This year I wanted to do something that would "make a difference". You know use my talent for good. I have been trying to come up with something for a while, when it hit me!

~~CARDS.

I am sure there are not lots of places to buy a card in Iraq, so my plan is to help soldiers have cards to send back home to their loved ones.

Right now I am working on Mother's Day cards. (with the time it takes to get a package overseas starting early is a must)

If you would like to help, I will gladly send your cards too!! Email me at kabrown63@hotmail.com and I will send you more details.

I do have a contact to send them to, and I know he/they will take any occasion card, but Mother's Day was the main request.

Hello card and tin

I found these cute little tin boxes and ordered them awhile ago. I almost forgot about them until I was digging around looking for something else. There is nothing in the box now, but I think it would be good for candy, or a few pair of earrings or even some little cards. This box is the small size 1.25 x 2.5

Correction** I used the Large Box 2 x 3.1 Size

a friend is....

I thought yall might be missing me, after a few days with no posts!! This is a great gift tag made with the Big Pinks Flower. I also used the Pearl Paint on the edges, it gives it a nice shinny touch on the sides. The color is Hollyhock. You think I would be tired of pink after all that Valentine's stuff, but I don't think I could ever get tired of pink!!!

I just got back from the movies. If you haven't seen "Fool's Gold" it is great!!
