Wanted to come on and say hello and share a little something. I have been really busy this summer..lots going on but I'm trying to keep up with some little things I have made in the last month.

The week before the shower Christine and I got together to make some little things for the shower and here they are! These were also made with my Cricut machine.

Sharing some Valentine Love!

(I got the tutorial for this cutie up above over at Carolina's Creative Pad)

I'm so sad that Valentine's Day is just about over! I really love this holiday...all the red, white and pink stuff all over the place and all the AMAZING projects that all the crafty ladies on the internet have to share. I did a few last min. crafts of my own for the family so I wanted to come on and share them with everyone that visits my blog.

(for the Converstation candy box holders up above...I got the directions for this simple and cute idea here at Clearly iStamp. I did change up the wrap measurements because I only wanted to use one box instead of two.)

If you would like use only one box just cut the outside wrap to 3x7 and score at 1 1/8.

Sassy Studio POLKA DOT Challenge!

This week us Sassy Studio ladies were challenged to use POLKA DOTS on our creations. Oh how I love polka dots! Here is the creation I made using them lovely dots!!!
