Storage for Close to my Heart's My Acrylix Stamp sets

I have been rearranging my craft room and wanted to share some

 pics of my stamping station. I found these great shelf units at Target, they are made by closetmaid and come in espresso, white and black. They have a ton of different color bins that are made to fit in each square.

Get Hippity with Ippity Challenge

Hey Guys I just wanted to post a quick card I made for the Get Hippity with Ippity Challenge. The only requirement was to have a flower with leaves. I choose to use the flower, leaves and sentiment from the Unity Stamp Co set "Faith, Hope, Love...Live by it". To check out there blog click here. Thanks for looking!

Fundraising Collection Tin

Many of you know that I recently signed up for the Susan G Komen 3 Day event. It is a huge commitment and I cant wait for it. Not only do we walk 60 miles but we have to collect $2300 in donations to help cure breast cancer. So of course the fundraising is going to include lots of crafty things!

Here is the first: I wanted to decorate a donation collection tin  (I found  this adorable mailbox at target for a dollar!). I used pink ribbon scrapbook paper to cover the mailbox and then matted several sentiments for each side of the sides. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the front. Then I  cut out a pink ribbon that I stamped in pink and embossed in clear glitter embossing powder and placed that on 3D foam dots and placed it in the center of the front. To add a more dimensional look I used prima flowers in various places.

The back I left somewhat plain because of where I am going to place it, people wont really see it. I just matted a 3 Day "Walker" icon and placed a flower in the corner.

Thanks for looking!

My First Double Dutch Fold Card

Hello Everyone! Since the weather outside is not very nice I have been working in my craft room. So I decided to try a new style card that I had seen on a website called a "double dutch fold". The concept is that there are 2 flaps that are attached at the bottom on the sides (one to each side), in addition to the normal card flap that is folded at the top of the card.

With my card, I added a scalloped circle die cut to the front on the large main flap and let it overlap the smaller flaps at the bottom. The main image is from "Kate's ABC's" cricut cartridge. I added some additional butterflies that I made with a paper punch and some pink gems. Then I tied some pink fiber around the very top flap. 

All papers are from an older K&Co. mat stack. I matted all sections of the card and inked the edges with lime green chalk ink and Antique Linen Distress ink.

The double flaps.

And of course I had my little (actually he is a tank) helper, Mickey!



I really love how it turned out. I am not sure what occasion it is going to be for, so when I decide I will add a sentiment. Or maybe I will just keep it since I love it so much.
