Newton's Nook Designs Project


Happy Wednesday!!!
Today I have a fun little Christmas gift to show you. This project is also over on the Newton's Nook blog

Every year I try to think of something handmade to give out to friends, teachers and family.
This year I decided to decorate up some mason jars and fill them with a variety of candies.
Everyone loves candy right?? You can't really go wrong with that.

 I diecut a couple of tags and and than stamped them with Newton's Nook stamp set called Beautiful Blizzard and let me tell you just how beautiful these snowflakes are. To finish off my jar I added some ribbon and lace on the top of the jar I diecut a circle and than added these cute wood snowflakes.


Have a fabulous day!!!

Just for fun here is one of my very first cards that I got published way back in 2009
Thank You so much to everyone over at Paper Crafts Magazine for some amazing and memorable years you will truly be missed!!!

Recycled Journal


Happy Sunday!!!!
Today I am sharing a fun project I made using some recycled cardboard. I have a ton of boxes that i want to put to good used and I thought it would be fun to use the cardboard as my covers for this fun journal.  For the inside of my journal I fold some watercolor paper in half for the pages I used this paper because the paper is really thick but also gives me the option to add some stamped images that I can use my paints with or distress markers. The pattern paper is from prima and the stamped images are from Precious Remembrance.
