Thankful For You

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........
If you are looking to create a QUICK and SUPER EASY tag......Stop right here.  My tag for today just doesn't come together any FASTER.
I started out with a Gorgeous Grape base tag.  To the top of that base, I added one of the 'Heart & Home Memories & More Cards' to the front.
My sentiment is from that same card pack ....... and all I did was pop that little message onto the front of my tag.
My tag was topped off with some 'Gorgeous Grape Ribbon' and the finishing touch was adding a few 'Polished Dots'.
So, what do you think my friends.......
Isn't it a QUICKY!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some Friends Friday creations with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

I Love You

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........
I am just CRAZY IN LOVE with the way this card turned out.  The colors just make me SMILE BIG!
I started out with a Magenta Madness base card.  To the top of that I added a White and also a Night of Navy panel.
Then, I got busy and cut four panels of the 'Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper'.  Those panels each measured 1" x 3-1/4".  I added a Magenta Madness heart from the 'Sweet Hearts Dies' to the far left-hand side of each DSP panel ...... And I finished each heart off with a thin layer of 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to give each heart a little shine.
The last thing I did for this card was add a pretty sentiment circle.  And that was done with the 'Layering Circles Dies' and the 'Happy & Heartfelt' stamp set.
So, what do you think my friends......
Isn't it PRETTY!!!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a Tag Thursday creation to share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

3x3 Flip-Top Box

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I found on the internet ....... And I created a CASE of that project to share with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create, and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.
This DARLING flip-top box was originally shared on Crafty Caroline's blog back in June of 2017.  Here is the link to her video on how to create this box.  (1329) Cute Daisy Delight Box - Ideal for 3 by 3 cards - Video Tutorial, Stampin' Up New Catalogue Week - YouTube    I made some upgrades to my version......And ended up LOVING what I created.
I used the 'Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper' along with the 'Flowers of Friendship' set for my sentiments.
I filled my flip box with four little 3x3 cards and created some coordinating envelopes to go inside.
The base of the box is a 7-1/4" x 8-3/4" piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  I scored the long side at 2-1/2', 3-1/2', 6-3/4' and 7-3/4".  Then I scored the short side at 1", 2", 5-1/4" and 6-1/4".
I decorated both the front and the back of each little 3x3 envelope.  The tiny row of hearts (on the front of each envelope) is from the 'Sweet Heart Dies'.
I used the 'Heart and Scallop Heart Punch' to decorate the front of each 3x3 card ...... And I topped each card off with some '3/8" Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon'.
And I used all those same supplies for the front of my box.
Just couldn't be HAPPIER with the way this turned out....
What do you think my friends????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Wine Down Wednesday card with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Scrapbook Saturday

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My Scrapbook share for this week is a DARLING little album I got from 'Artsy Albums' called "Bunny Kisses Easter Scrapbook Album Kit".  It is designed to help you document my Easter 2022.  Here is what I created.
This DARLING Easter Basket Scrapbook kit was SO MUCH FUN to make.  The little easter basket book base is SO CLEVER!
There are plenty of space to document pictures of my Easter 2022......
And the FUN colors just scream Happy Spring to me.
This album has lots of pockets and special tag insert sections.....
And I LOVE that the pockets allow me to tuck all kinds of fun keepsakes within this album.
There are also lots of flip page sections......
And DARLING decorative cards.
And of course......LOTS of sections to add my pictures.
And even the tabs have special little messages on each of them.
So there you have it friends.......
Isn't it just ADORABLE!!!!
