Convention RAK from Jen...


Convention RAK from Jacque...

Just wanted to share the wonderful swaps and convention RAKS that I received at our August Mtg. It was so nice to get back into the swing of things and catch up with friends. Check back tomorrow to see the project Naoko taught us how to make. Let's just say that maybe I'm starting to "lean" towards getting the owl punch now... hehehe! You'll see why when you check back tomorrow. Until then...

My August Swap & A RAK...

Here is the swap I created for our meeting this month. I used the Make A Monster set for this card. If you're wondering why my monster doesn't have a mouth, it's because this swap was created with the help of DD3. She chose the colors and the set. I let her choose the monster and she said she only wanted the one eyeball to be stamped... nothing else. She claims that since he's a monster, he doesn't need a mouth... hehehe! Mouth, or no mouth, I still think he turned out kind of cute!



This is a RAK that I received from my friend Beth. She is always so sweet to think of me. I love how she decorated the little jar with Hello Kitty. I guess it's time for me to start using my Cricut again. Thanks for stopping by!

A Gift Box & Treats...

Here are some pictures of the gift/box that I created for my friend's birthday. For the box, I used the instructions that I created for my Octopus Box that is on Craft Project Central. This time I created a divider to put in the box to separate the candy from the other items. I made a little punch art ladybug and attached it to the small hand sanitizer and the post-it note cover was created to match the box. The flowers were created using the Island Floral die. I just crumpled the flower petals before putting it together with a brad. I hope after seeing this you feel a little inspired to create something! Have a great day!

This is the card that I created for Kris' Surprise Baby Shower! I actually received this stamp from a friend during Easter, but never got the chance to ink it up. But when I looked at it, I thought it would be perfect to use on a baby card!



I also decided to stamp some onesies and burp cloth using craft ink to send with her card. I hope she likes it!



Here is the candy that Lollipop Crafts is giving away!

Now head on over to Joy's blog to see more wonderful creations and help us celebrate Kris' little bundle of joy! Thanks for stopping by!

My OCS From Gail...

Here are the cards that I received from Gail! She did a beautiful job on these cards! I was really surprised that she sent me 2 cards... and I love them both! Thank you Gail for being my July OCS partner! I'm so excited to see who I'll be partnered with this month! Enjoy the rest of the week!

Look At What We Have For August...

This is the project that I created for Craft Project Central this month. It's an Octopus Punch Art Box & Punch Art Page.



This Elegant Soiree Faux Leather Wallet was created by Naoko and can be used to hold treats or a gift card.



Here is the matching bag that Naoko also created. You can use it to hold cards or the matching faux leather wallet.



Here is the Love Letters Purse & Cards that Jacque created this month. If you would like to see more projects, visit us at www.craftprojectcentral.com.

Treats For Teachers...

I still can't believe that the summer is over and the kids will be starting school today! Wow! Time has really flown by! Even with limited time on my hands, I wanted to show my appreciation to my daughters' teachers and welcome them back to school! These are packs of gum that I wrapped with a 6" x 3-5/8" piece of Green Galore card stock. I scored it at 2-1/2", 2-7/8", 5-3/8", and 5-3/4" (along the long side). I glued the end tab to form the gum wrapper. The band is just a 1" strip of Summer Sun card stock that I crimped The flower was made using the Island Floral die. All I did was crumple the flower, re-open, and then stuck the brad through the center. I attached it to the band using Stampin' Dimensionals. I also used the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz on the flower, but I think I might have gotten a bit carried away with it. Enjoy your week!
