Wedding Shower Gift..

Hola chica's.. Thought I would share this recipe box I made for a friends wedding shower! I was inspired by this really pretty apron that I purchased for her that had all the pretty blue hues in it, totally her style! My thought was to make her a basket full of goodies for her kitchen and what better personalized gift than a cute lil recipe box to match!! So I purchased an unfinished wooden box from Michael's and just dry brushed it with some acrylic paints and some ranger stains. I used some stazon ink to personalize the wood box on the back here is the first picture. I didn't want to paint the inside so I just did the edges and left the inside natural. I made some blank recipe cards to go inside with a scene at each tab of type of food! You can see the tab that says "breads" on it..

Here is a view of the front of the box! I painted right over the hinge too.

For the top of the box I found these really cool jewelry charms in the perfect colors and simply attached them to the box with a small ring and used hot glue so they wouldn't move. what a perfect match ha (smile)!!

Here is the whole basket, on the right you can see the pretty apron with all the pretty blues in it..and my lil box was a great addition to the gift basket, I really like that it has something homemade in it from me to her and hopefully she will Cherish it for many years to come..(wink!)

Well chica's I hope you like my post today! Thanks for stopping by and until next time..

Cupcake shower gift.. OH SO CUTE!!

Hola chica's,
Hope you all had an awesome Sunday afternoon. Today was a lazy Sunday for me just kinda hung out! I finally got to finish my friends baby shower gift and thought I would share it with you all. Here is a pic of the whole ensemble. Here is a top view of the box I made with the cute lil cupcakes I made to go inside. I made them with onesies and burp towels and I used some baby mittens in the middle with the ruffled edge to look like the frosting and topped them with some flower baby barrettes to look like the topper!

Here is a close up of the tag I made using one of my favorite SU stamps called Homemade. I thought it was perfect for this gift. A close up of the cupcakes inside the box!

Here is the matching card I made with my cricut and throughout the project I used some stickles to add some extra bling!!

Here is the bag topper that I made with a new stamp set I recently got from MY CUTE STAMPS I can't remember the name but it's adorable for baby cards and gifts. I also used my new build a cupcake punch from SU and the coordinating stamp! I just love those new build a punches makes things so easy and fast. How cute it that lil owl with her oh so cute scalloped diaper! LOVE IT! (wink!)

well chica's that's it for tonight, until next time hope you enjoy viewing my shower gift and thanks for stopping by.

Birdcage project

Hi Chica's
I know it's been forever long since my last post so sorry, believe me my friend Dora got on my case yesterday for having no new post! So here is a project I did last night. I got this cute birdcage hanging at M's yesterday and it had a picture of some birds in it that did match my decor, but of course us crafty chica's see many options to fix it!

Here is my final result I used some shabby paper from a pack I found really cheap at Ross one day, and some K&co elements that matched perfect. I also used my cricut to die cut the shape in the background and the scroll above the picture, oh and the bow border towards the bottom. It's kinda hard to view in the picture but the paper used for the bow is flocked it's really pretty =) and the ribbon border across the bottom is a pleated satin that worked really well.

I hope you chica's like it ....it was fun to make and I got the cute lil birdie's at M's and just clipped them on for a fun accent..

well until next post chica's have a lovely Sunday afternoon

Spooky Halloween Greetings my friends..

Happy Halloween chica's.. it's my favorite holiday I love everything about it.. Today I have some pics to share with you of some treats we made for are friends, and a cool banner me and my daughter made. It came out very cute and it is double sided with the words "spooky and wicked". To start here are the candy covered oreo's we made aren't they just adorable!!!!.....

Here is a close up!

We also dipped some yummy cinnamon pretzels in chocolate and of coarse put are favorite candy in the treat bags.. I made some tags using my new pti stamps and die's that I just love..

another close up for ya..

Ok now for the banner.. here is the "spooky side"

and here is the "wicked side"

I bought some cool charms to put on the ends of the banner but since I decided to make it double sided I had to decorate the other sides of the charms so I used some cool brads I had.. I just broke of the backs and diamond glazed them to the charms.. this is the result ..

cute ha... I really like how it came out..

Here is another brad I used..

So the rest of the pics are just close ups of each panel of the banner ... enjoy..

Well chica's I hope you like the pics I had to share with ya .. hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween.. until next time ....

Wedding card request..

Today I worked on a card that a friend requested for her nieces wedding. I asked her what color theme it was and she told me purple and orange! I immediately thought of Halloween!! I can make this work! So I started playing with my new owl punch from SU because when I had my party I had remembered seeing a wedding card with the owl..
So here is my take on the HOO-lyweds!! I really am pleased with the way it turned out..


I used SU CS for the owls and gave the texture with some of my cuttlebug embossing folders I just love them.. oh and I used some glitter paper on the Groom owl..
When I was done with the card I felt like it just need a lil more girly accents for the Bride owl.. So I added a lil veil with some lace and rhinestones kinda hard to see but if you click on the photo to enlarge you can view it better, and her OH so Adorable lashes !!!! (giggle) I just couldn't resist myself !!


I hope you like my HOO-lyweds.. until next time chica's..
