LOOKING BACK...

 Today is Memorial Day. A time to remember all that have lost their lives protecting our freedom.  I saw it written somewhere that "Memorial Day should be every day".  I have to agree.

 ===========================================

Looking back at my crafting, I see that I have come a long way.  I've learned a lot from trial and error, and error and error!  lol

Decorated letters are very popular today.  I made some several years ago as Christmas gifts for my grandkids and later, starting selling them.  Here are just a few that I've done.

 I always enjoy making these.  There is no limit to what you can do with them.

Along the same lines are these name plaques I made/make.  These are fun to do too!

After looking back through all my projects the last couple of weeks, I am amazed at just what all I have done. A lot of variety of things, some epic fails and some really great things.  Crafting is my passion and helps me stay sane in an otherwise crazy world! 

Thank you for stopping by.  I always welcome comments/suggestions/tips.  : )

BOX CHALLENGE

This week's challenge with +LaDenna Lawrence  was to use a wooden box and Mini Books Cricut cart to make an album to go in it.  I am pleased with the way mine turned out.  I made it to keep Baby Emma's pic of her first year in.  I did my great grandson an album for the same.

  

 I decoupaged the outside with scrapbooking paper and blinged it up.

 I made an accordion album from the cartridge.  I love that cart!  No more tedious measuring! lol

I really like this paper line from Mary & Co.  Very girly!

Next week's challenge is to use a wire wreath and flip flops.  This will be fun!  I've seen several that I like. The only hard part will be to decide how I want to do it!  

I also made this framed saying this week.  I re-purposed a 5x7" frame and decorated it with handmade flowers, bling and a charm.  I thought it turned out rather cute.
