Crafty Design by Lee

Ahhh, birthdays!!  My most favor days of the year because I get to think up creative cards for my family members....ones that they would NEVER find on any store shelve!!  Ahhh, birthdays.....I love it!!  Oh, sorry....I digress....heehee Hey there peeps!!  Thanks for stopping by today to check out my post for The Cutting Caf e's 21st day of the month design team inspiration post!!  I hope you laughed with me during the introduction of my project for this week using the 2015 calendar printable set .  I really wanted to play on off this commercial I happen to be watching the other day.....like 5 or 6 times throughout the day (literally) it was just stuck in my head!!  So I figured I would run with it and here's what I came up with.... Super simple yet playful card for my baby sister's birthday!! I love it!!    Here's the inside sentiment.....woot woot!!  heehee (I'm cracking myself up with this one) I highlighted her birth...

Happy Crafty Day to YOU!!  Its Inspiration time over at The Cutting Cafe !!  This week we were able to create a project using any file from the Cafe; I wanted to create a personalized calendar so I used The Planner Set to create it.  I added pictures I have taken on road trips with my husband and some embellishments for  a little accent.   This project turned out to be a two for one because I was able to create a calendar to use all year long and get some scrap-booking done at the same time!!  Love It!!  I'm working on one for my daughter now with 12 pics of her dog....I'll share with you when its done!! Thank you so much for stopping by today!!  I hope you have been inspired!!   Blessings & Craft Happiness!! Chauntelle

Happy Holidays to you ALL!!  Welcome to my blog!!  I love the Christmas season....it gives me the opportunity to shower everyone in my family and give back to those in need too.  I do these things all year round but there is something extra special about the holiday season that fills the heart with JOY and to be able to help those less fortunate is always a plus!! So my family's holiday gathering this year served as a two for one event!!  We had time to spend chatting it up with one another, being creative making ornaments AND fill these boxes to be donated to the inner-city youth at my nephews Alma mater!!  What joy!! I wanted to do something extra special for my family of four; we wore white tops with blue jeans and I made these ribbons using a file from The Cutting Cafe .  They came out super cute and really shows the versatility of this file!! Never-mind my handwriting (LOL); I wanted to use this silver gel pen ...

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 cu...

Hello friends and happy hump day to ya!!  I'm back with a project share for The Cutting Cafe design team inspiration for the 21st day of November.  Are you getting excited for the holidays??  I sure am!!  I love this time of year because I don't really get to see my family much throughout the year but we always make sure to get together during this time to share with each other and give thanks!!  I'm somewhat saddened though because my in-laws will not be able to make the 10 hour trip from their home to ours this Thanksgiving but I'm surely looking forward to seeing them at Christmas.  So for my project this week I created a Happy Thanksgiving card to send to them using the Happy Thanksgiving Word Shaped Card from The Cutting Cafe.  I adore this card and had a great time putting it together.  I added simple embellishments because I do intend to mail it so I don't want it to be too bulky.  I could see this card file being used as place hol...

Good morning bloggers!!  I'm a little behind the 8 ball with this one but hey, Tuesday morning will have to due.  Anywhoo, this week I wanted to document a summer trip with the "closest" women in my life (minus my Momma).  My sisters and I each have one daughter so this day we called:  "Sista, Auntie, daughter Day"!!  Aaah man, we had such a good time!! My sisters and their girls came down to my house the afternoon before our big day trip to the Baltimore, MD area. We started our "girls ONLY outing" with a meal we all LOVE so very much.....SUSHI!!  I took them to a favorite restaurant of mine; my daughter and I go there.....often....heehee We had such a good time and oh, by the way, seating arrangements were apparently important throughout our trip (idk) but the girls were really hyped about making the plan.  We sat one day oldest niece - oldest sista; youngest niece - youngest sista...etc.  LOL, it was comical.  In this picture we are se...
