Gum Wrapper


I may have an order for 80 of these! I thought I would share! When you pull the ribbon up (while holding the wrapper part), you expose a pack of Eclipse gum. This is a gift for teachers during their "Teacher Appreciation" week in February. I am waiting to see if this particular layout will be approved.

It's one of the things I made for the recent Craft Fairs that the customers couldn't get enough of. I have made others too... I will post a little later as hubby wants some quality time.

Valentine's box


Need a new way to store your cards? How about this adorable box, just in time for Valentine's Day Cards? You can store your cards in this box, displaying your favorite up-front, of course.

I think it's adorable!

I used my computer to print out the banner. I stamped the scene with the new Happy Heart Day stamp set. I stamped all the flowers and cut them out...

It's been awhile...

I swear I am alive! I have been stamping my little heart out getting ready for 3 craft fairs. One thing that I have found... I sold out almost every time! Here's one project for you. I am planning on creating a website so people can actually order my projects.

I did a class with Kimberly. She did an Advent Calendar. At another class, a lady brought her "inspiration" from the Advent Calendar Class. It was a little different then this... but the concept was the "tree" and taking magnets off of it when the day was over. I wanted to use other types of materials to stamp on but the store I frequent was out of the wooden circles in the right size. Anyway, you can see I did use mirrors and wooden squares.

This was not only a fun project to do, it sold super fast at my last craft show. I will be making more of these in the future!
