A Big Thank You!

I wanted to send out a big HUG to my friend Karan for helping me with my new look on my blog.

Packaging Addiction

A few weeks ago one of our challenges at the Little Red Wagon was to use packaging to create our project. Since then I just can't throw anything out.

Yesterday at the store I came across this packaging label and my mind started wandering.

I made this set of 4 Christmas cards and all I added was a bit of cardstock and some ribbon. I was pretty impressed with myself. I even have a new section in my scrapbook room for packaging. I challenge you to try something like this. If you do, leave a comment with the link to your project and I will highlight it here on my blog.

Happy crafting!

Sketchabilities Reveal!

It is reveal time again over at Sketchabilities! This month's sketch was a bit of a challenge for me, but once I got rolling it came together nicely.

I decided to use one of the new lines from Kaisercraft and get into the holiday mood. I found some photos we had taken last year of our furry friend Cadbury!

I added Glossy Accents to all the circles on the page. I added extra circles to the Christmas trees and popped them up using foam adhesive.

I am thrilled to say that I have been invited back for another term with Sketchablities. We have the month of December off, so my next reveal will be at the end of January! Be sure to stop over and see what the other members of the team created!

Little Red Wagon #4

For this week's challenge at Little Red Wagon, Deanna challenged us to use buttons......the more the merrier!

I have quite a stash of buttons so this was a fairly easy challenge for me to find supplies for. The question for me was 'what am I going to do with buttons?' I decided to make a flower out of buttons as well as use one of the border embossing folders for the Cuttlebug.....also a button pattern.

I formed a circle of buttons for the base, added a larger button and adhered it with a super glue that works on plastic etc and then added a smaller button to the center to finish it off.

I added some trim and embossed the sentiment using Zing embossing powder.

I also submitted this card to the Card's Blog because their challenge this week was to use 5 or more buttons. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that it will be chosen as one of the featured cards.

Hockey Night!

Tonight is hockey night. These two teams are always fun to watch. London is one of our biggest rivals. Kitchener has a 2 point advantage over the Knights......will they be able to hold on to that?

My fingers are crossed. I am hoping for a safe but competitive game! Go Rangers!
