Have a great weekend everyone!

Have a great weekend everyone.

No crafting Today!

Today, while I was not crafting...okay I said to myself in the morning I was not going to do anything creative. My house needs a good cleaning, the plants are crying for attention and what do I do? I look at my favorite blogs and get inspired to make a little something. Why I thought of making gift card holders , I do not know. Nothing in the blogs even suggested gift cards holders. But here are a few of the card holders that I made while not crafting today! I actually like to save some of the gift cards after they have been used. They are so pretty. The Starbucks cards are some of my favorites!

Move, or I will paper You!

Okay, please be patient with me while I paper everything in my house that does not move! My daughter has been making me cds for a long time now. They can be found in my glove compartment along with the registration, spare sun glasses and a bag of spice drops. We never usually have any cases to put them in, it's a wonder they last as long as they do. Well, today I made a insert for an old case. The girl image is cut from a book, I am afraid I have no connection to her. I love this new paper I bought last week. I have tried the pastel color combination, I like bright colors.

Pretty Papers!

Last Friday I bought some beautiful papers and large tags at a local store, The Christmas Tree Shop. It sells everything from greeting cards to beach chairs and so much more. The Christmas items are now only seasonal. Their catch phrase is "Don't you just love a bargain?" Well, of course I do! I have decided that bright colors especially yellow, reds and blues are the colors I like to use right now. I had to go back back yesterday and buy a few more packs of paper. The pack contains 18 pretty coordinated papers and a few flower cut outs. The packs were made for me! How could I refuse? I have already made a few projects from the papers. Here is a birthday card I made Sunday night.

Apron with cute Daises!

Thursday night my daughter and I went to Jo Ann's to pick out fabric for an apron. She wanted an apron to wear to work. I mentioned before that she is working at an art camp this summer. The apron will help keep her clothes clean! Now, how am I going to keep the apron clean? Oh, well it was fun to make. I love the cute little daises. Really, who doesn't?

Have a Fantastic Weekend!

Friends are hosting a Mexican/Spanish Night! We will be having nachos, chili, quesidellias,paella, steak, corn on the cob and grilled watermelon (my new favorite food). I am not sure what dessert will be, but I am sure it will be fantastic. Oh, there maybe a margarita or two. The image is from the internet, I wish this was the place I was going to this evening!

Papered box

An update on the project I started earlier this week. It started as a chocolate box that I kept from Valentine's Day. When I think of all the boxes that I have thrown away over the years, I just cringe! This box will hold the finished rolled paper pages that I will use for my next paper wreath. If you look closely at the last picture you will see two new projects that I have started. I love covering composition notebooks! With the back to school sales out there I am starting to replenish my stash!
