Check Out The Cute Base & Bling Bracelet I Made!

Since I shared a video yesterday showing you the Base & Bling  line I thought I'd show you the bracelet I made (I haven't taken pictures yet of the necklace charms that I turned into key chains...I'll share them at another time). It took me no time at all to make and I think it's cute. I'm planning to give it as a gift to someone that works at my children's school.

Ps. And, yes, I used Miss Bunny Fluffy Pants as the model! :) The benefits of being a daycare provider! LOL!

A Fun Idea To Keep Family Memories Alive!

I thought today I'd share a few more Fall ideas that the CTMH's Art Department made. The box would be a fun idea if you are having a big family dinner for Thanksgiving...you could get each person (children included!) to fill out a card and then read them out loud so everyone can share what they are thankful for. It would be fun to do this each year and it would be a nice keepsake for your family many years later. I love this idea...it doesn't take much time to do but would be so rewarding to look back at. What do you think?

Fall Card Ideas!

I thought today I'd share a few cards that the CTMH's Art Department made for Fall. We can never have too many card ideas right?! (I also love the little gift box too!) In the top photo the paper pack "Pathfinding" (X7186B) was used and the stamp set "Lifetime of Happiness" (C1589). They also used the Cricut to make the box. In the bottom photo they used the paper pack "Seaside" (X7192B) and the stamp set "Keep Your Chin Up" (A1167). I just love the Fall colors they used on these cards!

Sweet Treat Pillow Box For Halloween!

I thought today I'd share a cute little box we made when I went to Dawn's crop a few weeks ago. We made small pillow boxes to fit a small treat...but you can cut the boxes bigger depending on your Cricut machine. We used the Cricut^® Art Philosophy Collection (Z1686) to cut the box out. I stamped the cute cat from the stamp set "Trick or Treat Sweets" (B1460). Isn't it just adorable?!
