Metal Mania

This week’s challenge at Heart 2 Heart is to incorporate something metal into your project. You can see the challenge here.

I must confess that I didn’t actually do this challenge. my eight year-old son, Will J did it. i was so proud of the job he did, that I thought I would share it with my friends on my blog.

Here is what he made:

It is a metal CD tin that he made a treat holder out of!

Supplies Used (CTMH unless noted):

Paper:
Caboodle (retired)

Stamps:
Tiny Typewriter

Accessories:
CD Tin (Daisy D’s)
Cricut (Create A Critter)
Wiggly Eyes (Dollarama)

Reindeer Noses

There was a contest at Regionals and the rules were simple. We had to make something using the awesome Kraft Die-Cut Cards. I decided to make a little treat box.

I scored the card at 1/2” on either side of the fold and folded it up into this little bag. I covered the front with patterned paper, punched a scallop circle and added a reindeer sticker and the title. Finally, I added some bling buttons to the top and filled it with a bag of Whoppers candy and Cherry Sours.

It didn’t win, but I still think it is cute. Plus, I was up against some very talented women and the ones that did win were certainly very deserving!

Congratulations to Vesna, Joanne and Cheryl!

High School Graduation

Wow…I cannot believe it was already 13 years ago…almost to the day. My kids were digging through some boxes that we have yet to unpack and they found this picture. They did not tell me the found it, however, and I saved it from the playroom floor. It was a little wrinkled and bent and I was a little upset. I figured the best way to protect it and save it for the long run was to scrapbook it, so that is what I did.

Swell News!

I made this card for Marc’s cousins who are expecting their second child in the fall. I pretty much CASED it from a fellow CTMH consultant, Vicki Wizniuk. She is one of the most artistic people and I love to follow her blog. She is the inspiration for many of the projects I make. You can see her version of the card here.

Products I used for the card: Topstitch level 2 paper pack, Felicity stamp set, For Every Occasion stamp set, Tiny Typewriter stamp set, SU! Build-a-brad, Clear sparkle
