Peace, Love & JOY!!

Hey there!!  Its inspiration time!! I'm back with my design team project for The Cutting Cafe this 7th day of December!!  This week we were able to play with shaker files!!  I was super excited to create my project this week and could not wait to share it with you all!!

 I used the Christmas Word Shakers file to create my photo box frame turned room decor for the holidays.  I picked this frame up at Ikea a few months ago and thought it would be perfect for this project.


I filled the shaker with some styrofoam snowflakes from The Dollar Tree.  The white flower trim came from Hobby Lobby in their clearance bin....I had just enough to cover the frame!!  Whew!! I really love this trim too, its three rows of little tiny flowers!  Love it!  The poinsettia is from Micheals' and I just added a few leaves for accent; some red beaded trim finished off the front!!  


The word "JOY" inside the frame is actually the negative from the cut out.  What did I do with the actually letters that cut you ask...??!! 

 I made an ornament!!!  Two for one!!  Bam!!

 Here I cut out the word Joy(only) five times, layered it up on this sparkly designer paper, added two holes: one for the string to hang it the other to add some embellishments.  All the embellishments I had on-hand already; the crystal pieces I picked up at the flea market over the summer....last year...the jingle bells are from my stash and the heart topped bell is from a wedding I attended earlier this year but could not leave behind!!  I knew I'd find a use for it!! heehee


So excited I was able to make something that I will be able to use over and over again for years to come AND I only had to cut ONE file!!  That's the joy of it all...pun intended!  heehee

Thank you so very much for stopping by today and checking out my project this week!!  I hope you have been inspired!!  Until next time.....

Blessings & Craft Happiness!!

Season for Gift Giving

Hey my crafty friends!!  Today I'd like to share with you my design team post for The Cutting Cafe - December 21st post!!  This week was a free week....Christmas themed; which was perfect for the holiday season and opportunity to fill that "last minute" Christmas gift giving list! Do you know the farmer who had a dog??  What was his name??  BINGO!!  Oh, yes!! LOL!! Bingo was a favorite game of my family's when we were growing up; the song and the board game!  Well guess who has a Christmas BINGO game in their shop??   The Cutting Cafe does!!  Yes, yes and I just had to create one.  I plan to present the game at Christmas, pull it out for the family to play and give a gift to the winner(s)...I bought three gifts - the fourth gift will be the BINGO game set! This pdf file was super easy to print and cut for assemble.  I cut a 12x12 sheet of 3/4" circles on my cameo in green and red for the chips.  A box ...

Hey there everyone!!  Thanks for stopping by today!! Its that time of year, graduation celebrations all across the county!!  I'm so proud of everyone and want to wish each one prosperity in their future goals!!  Sooo, on that list of graduates......MY SON!! :o)  I love him so much and I'm very proud of him and his friends who will also be moving on to the next phase of life!!  Today's project for The Cutting Cafe is dedicated to THEM!!  This week's design team inspiration is brought to you using The Card in A Box Embellishment Set .  This card is super cute and can be easily made with or without the help of a cutting machine!! Although it is intended to fold to fit into an envelope, which Regina conveniently provides a cutting file for it, I popped out my card so much it will not fit in an envy (lol) but that's ok too!!  I think it would be really nice as a table centerpiece for the big grad party!! (hint, hint) Anywho.....checkout some pic...
