CRAFTY WEEKEND

While I had a lot going on this past weekend,  I did get a chance to do some crafting.

I participate in a couple of Facebook groups that do regular swaps. This month one swap included one layer spring/Easter cards.   I got to use my trusty little Cricut and Sizzix Texture Boutique.  I LOVE both of these tools when it comes to working with paper!

 This is my Texture Boutique.  Isn't it cute? And it coordinates with my craft space! Lol

I used a basket weave embossing folder to make my Easter baskets.

Here is my Cricut. I couldn't do without this baby! Lol  I cut all the eggs in just a few minutes.

And here is the end result-cute Easter cards ready to mail out to be swapped.  My inspiration came from Paper Crafts magazine-one of my favorite reads.
I can't wait to see all the cards I get back from the swap! There are so many talented ladies in these groups!

Another project I completed was these toilet paper mini album pages. After they are swapped we will bind them all in whatever way we choose.  Our theme was "A little bit of me".  I love vintage-so that's what I ran with!

Thank you for stopping in to see my latest work.

 Tomorrow evening is my challenge reveal with LaDenna, the Crafty Diva. It will take place at 8 p.m. CST at www.facebook.com/pjstreasures and/or www.facebook.com/pklimper.  Our challenge this week was to use a small box and make a mini album to go with it.

Meet us at 8 for the big reveal!!

"See" you then!!

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.
