trinket Charms for your cell phone

Ciao Bella,

   I had so much fun at the Midway Arts Festival …It was a beautiful spring day in Coastal Georgia…..I made all sorts of items for the art festival, some of my most popular items were my cell phone charms …..

 These little gems are made with the trinkets from the Occasional mini catty …..I only have these three left…I sold them for $8.00 and they sold…So if you are interested in purchasing one the 3 remaining trinket cell phone charms email me……. 

Recognize these?….. They are the pearls and beads from the retired Pretties Kit…..They also make perfect Cell phone charms…especially if you are like me and loose your cell phone in the bottom of your purse…the pearls and ribbon show up great against the dark fabric that seams to be in every purse…..again I only have these 3 left and they are $6.00 if you are interested…..They would make a great gift for the girl who has everything ….. 

Last I have these Little Pretties…little decorative pins…perfect addition to the summer sweater,jacket or even sun dress….Believe or not all my blue ribbon ones sold out…. So many people bought them for Brides…for the something NEW and BLUE…..so if you know a bride or want a little something girly …let me know …..

Thanks for visiting today, and If you want more information or would like to have any of these fun charms, just email me

Have a great day

Clear for teddy

Ciao Bella,

      Yesterday, I showed you a 6×6 scrap page featuring the Clearly for you stamp set and said today I would show you another that was inspired from that little page…

Now this one is a little more over the top ….Because this page is a gift that a friend asked me to make for her…she wanted teddy bears,butterflies,baby in basket…..there is allot going on on this page

 There are lots of Jewels and pearls as well. I am thinking the vintage trinket safety pin, needs a little something more …maybe a pink tiny knot…

Not only did I use the Clearly for You stamp set, I also used the Teddy & Train…And of course a lot of Big Shot Embossing Folder and Embosslettes, and the Scalloped Square Duo die… Punches …at least 4 different ones…and the color Spitzer tool…..This page is almost a stamp camp by it self …..Maybe I should have a class on vintage Scrap Pages … Hmm……

Let me know what you think ?

Easter Bunny needs some help

Ciao Bella,

                Today is such a dark,gloomy,and rainy day here in Georgia, but I don't mind … I have the worst allergies and this rain is washing all the pollen away…not to mention all the wild fires we have been having …So I'm liking the rain today…..It's going to be a good day to get some spring cleaning done…..but before I'm off to clean …I had a visit with the Easter Bunny….. I love making treats… or at least making projects to put treats in anyway…..

     So I was at the store and found these tiny chocolate Easter bunnies and thought they would be cute in a mini Easter basket…..and then I thought that the Petal Card Punch would be perfect to make mini baskets with …..

It is cute …but it is not what I had envisioned in my head …..it just seamed off …..it is really frustrating when you can make what you picture in your own mind's eye…..So I put the project down for a few days and came back to it …and came up with this …..

Better …. But…..Still not perfect …..so now I'm going to ask you what your ideas are … What do you think I could add or change to make this project go from " it's cute" to really WOW!!!!!  Leave me a comment to tell me what you think …

Two Tags Die Treat

Ciao Bella,

Don't forget that SALE A BRATION ends in 2 days …..hurry if you want free stamps …..contact me today….

Clearly For You, I can’t get enough

Ciao Bella,

      What a busy weekend …. let me just sat that my oldest son, my sweet baby, has informed that he asked a girl to the Prom…I'm so excited for him, he would say too excited…truth be told I didn't go to any of my Proms… I was never asked ….and my conservative parents wouldn't allow me to go with a couple of girl friends…anyway…..my son's prom is not till May …I promise I will take lots of pictures and share them with you…and of course in doing that ,embarrassing my son … a 2 for 1 in my book ….lol

This put me in such a creative mood this weekend that I was just a creating fool…..and I'm still in love with the stamp set Clearly For You. I had so many comments on my 3×3 card that I made a full size one

I just couldn't stop adding to the card, there are Designer Jeweled Pearls, Antique Brads that look like buttons, ribbon,twine and designer rhinestones….

Look at all that …crazy, crazy going on …….

For the flower … I used my Stampin' Write Marker's directly on the stamp on give the flower all it's color…..and of course there is a lot of sponging of the edges to get that vintage look…..

Also I don't want you to forget  that there is only a couple days of SALE A BRATION left…..For every $50 you spend in Stampin Up products you can receive FREE stuff!!!!! Who doesn't love free!!!

WELCOME SPRING

Ciao Bella,

               I bet you thought I died or fell of the planet …didn't you….well as soon as thought I had my laptop fixed … the next day it died ..had a complete melt down …and well … I had to wait a little bit before I could get a new one …..so here we are …..

Now that Spring is arriving …(at least here in Savannah) …Tell me what you want to see …projects,cards,…the sky is the limit….

I'm actually so excited that I feel like I"m relaunching my business …and I think I will …..you will see new tutorial and classes and are you ready for this …..Videos…. yes I said videos…..I bought a video camera last summer and I actually exchanged 2 times because it "didn't work" but just for fun I tried it with my new laptop …..and whooh it worked …….so be ready …..

To get the ball rolling here is a little Spring Project for you …..

Isn't my PEEP cute … he is sitting in what's called a 2-4-6 basket/box……it is so easy… just take a 6 inch square piece of card stock,  score at 2 inches and 4 inches then turn your paper and Score again at 2 inches and 4 inches … so your score marks should look like you are getting ready to play  Tic Tac Toe…..and then snip your horizontal score marks …just to the vertical score marks and then fold….. easy peasy….

I used Blushing Bride for my box and Pear Pizzazz pattern paper to decorate it ….. the I used the butterfly from the Clearly For you Stamp Set in the Occasions Mini catalog….and finished up with Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon …. 

Too cute…..

Candy Cane Fancy Favor Box

Ciao Bella,

        I'm still on a roll with my Super Easy Favors….

I just used the Fancy Favor Die with of course my Big Shot Machine…with the Candy Cane Designer Series Paper, to make the box…a simple belly band with Pretty in Pink Card Stock, and a simple White Satin Ribbon Bow….

Now I did fancy it up a bit using the Northern Frost Decorative Strip  and my Big Shot to make the Snowflakes, In the front of the box I put the snowflakes on the box itself, but on the sides and the back I attached the Snow Flakes to the Ribbon …and of course I had to add some Rhinestones to the snowflakes… I so love those rhinestones… I just can't seem to get enough of them ….

Now I'm off to start getting ready for the Big Turkey Day tomorrow ….so If you should need anything don't be shy … just give me a call or email me and I will be happy to help you …..

Match Box Christmas Party Favors

Ciao Bella,

     Here is an actual bit of creativity this morning, …With my Dear Hubby Being home from on R&R from Iraq, be brain has been a bit off on the creative side…..So I decided to go back to a basic go to project. ….. an of course that means pulling out the Big Shot … oh I love my Big Shot….

I know super simple …But I love simple and with all the craziness of the holidays who wants to add another item to the already long to do list…These give the handmade touch without all the fuss…

This Favor Box, I used the XL Matchbox Die in my Big Shot, I used the Candy Cane Designer Series Paper from the mini Catalog to make a belly band…Love this paper…can you see,.. those dots are Glittered, the paper comes that way … way too cool…all the shiny is done for you…add a bit of 1/8th Taffeta Ribbon …and you are all ready to fill it with the treat of your choice…..

This one I did step up just a smidgen….This time I used the striped paper from the Candy Cane Designer Series Paper… Look close… the red stripe … is glittered too….it's just another super simple belly band. The tag… I just punched out with the New Decorative Label Punch and Added some glitter….a little more 1/8th inch taffeta ribbon and you are done ….

For this box , I went Formal-ish… Maybe for a New Years Party,

I again made the matchbox , but I used Stampin Up's Shimmery White Card Stock…so no need to fuss ..it already has the shimmer, a simple Black Satin Ribbon…and you are done.  Ok I did add the Old hat pin with some old beads I had laying around…but I did spy at the dollar store the other day a display with holiday pin and Cell Phone Charms…Now that I think of it I'm going to have to go get some make some more of these… Why didn't I think of that Idea when I was at the store…..

Anyway the Box is super elegant and sometimes less is more….and I think that is the case with these boxes…

Dreamy Peace on Earth

Ciao Bella,

          Today is a fast share….I'm still looking for the Color Combinations that match my towns Winter Festival…..Lime Green and the colors of a peacock ….

      So today I went bashful blue and Marina Mist …..

I used Bashful Blue as my card Based and sponged Bashful Blues around the shimmery White Card stock as well as the embossed snow flakes, and I added on rhinestone to the large embossed Snow Flake and Pearls to the smaller ones … Peach on Earth was stamped in Marina Mist…

The Picture does not even come close to showing how dreamy and cloud like this this card is …..I should call it snowflakes on a cloud …

If you want to learn how to make this card or purchase any of the supplies just email me ….I am more than happy to serve you …

Need a New Handbag?

Ciao Bella,

      While I am at craft fairs I do demonstrations of different Products or Projects…This last weekend was no different…One of the Projects I demonstrated was gift card holders.. I really like these gift card holders because they can be used for Christmas but also anytime of the year…And they look like Hand bags…. I'm such a girly girl … I love my hand bags .. I can't have too many …so what better gift card holder than a hand bag … at least in my book….. 

Now I will say… the projects I demonstrate at craft fair type events don't usually have an over amount of Bling, on them …Glitter and such are a little hard and messy to demonstrate outside in the elements…..and I want to Demonstrate projects that YOU can be inspired by and CREATE…

Here are some close ups on the individual Hand Bags

This one is a Tote Bag That I used Newsprint Designer Series Paper,  I also used the new Extra Large tag Punch From the Holiday Mini and the Stamp is From the Stamp Set Tags till Christmas…Now the tag is just tied on to the handle so that could be removed and the gift card holder could be saved and reused to a different occasion …

This little baby is a clutch bag, I used the same Newsprint Designer Series paper but I also ran Cherry Cobbler Card Stock through my Big Shot using the Top Note Die to make the top of the bag and some Antique Lace Trim for the Handle

Here is the same thing again, but by Moving the Antique Lace Trim to a top placement I now have a classic Handbag. I also used an Antique Brad as a focal point … I also love the music on this bag running up and down rather than the usual left to right …..

This is such an easy project .. If you missed my demonstration this last weekend and would like to learn to make these … Just Email Me …I will set up a class and by the end of this 1 hour Class, you will have made 4 or 5 of these …how easy is that …

Contact me now to set up your private class or a class for you and your friends….

Gift For the Holidays

Ciao Bella,

        I know I said last week was my last week at the Hinesville Farmer's Market, and it was suppose to be…. However I was invited back to the Official Final Market today…and Good News… they are continuing the Farmer's Market through November!!!!! Thank You Hinesville for supporting me and our other local businesses…..

Ok on to today's Project Featuring the Jolly Bingo Stamp Set…..

This is a super fast project…Just incase you didn't notice … I don't do anything that isn't fast,easy and fun …and to let you in on another secret about me …I get bored easily…so for me to anything for a craft fair or in large quantities …very difficult….but these Babies right here … Super fast…easy…fun …and I seem to be able to just keep making them and making them ….which means…YOU can make these too!  

The Real Red one , I used the Jolly Bingo Stamp Set for the images on the tealights and the ornament stamp from the Perfect Tags Stamp set.  And though it is really hard to see there is a rhinestone jewel in the middle of the tag…just for a little bling…..

For this set I used Marina Mist as my base color with the Jolly Bingo Bits stamp Set… and the Snowman Tag from the Perfect Punches Stamp set…and then layered the tag on a scalloped punched piece of Marina Mist Card Stock , wrapped with a very generous piece of ribbon …..

I bet you are wondering why I always use such a generous amount of ribbon on my finished projects… I love ribbon and I like the receiver of the gifts to have enough ribbon to reuse it on their projects…so it's like an extra gift……and I always love presents …..

Just to let you know ….Today is the Last Day to sign up for my Getting Ready for the Holidays Class ….and I only have a spots left…so sign up Now to be sure you get your seat in the class…just email me now to reserve your seat…

Super Easy Way to Deck the Halls

Ciao Bella,

   Today is a super fast fast Christmas card ….

Look .. No stamping… I used a Cherry Cobble Card Stock Base, and a sheet from the Deck The Halls Designer Series Paper…

All I did was cut a corner of the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper, wrap it with the Always Artichoke Seam Binding Ribbon, tied a knot of Lace trim… and now for the cool part… I know it is hard to see but I added Basic Pearls and Basic Rhinestones to the centers of the 3 large flowers…It didn't need anything else … it says it all …Clean and simple with vintage feel and Modern Bling ….

I am placing an order on Friday, so If you should need or want any of these great products contact me and I will add your list to the order….
