Happy Birthday Hedgehog

I am loving the new special delivery quickutz card die set.  It is one of my favorite sets from quickutz.  Using the round card dies I made this birthday card along with a Penny Black hedgehog stamp.  Too cute.

Have a great night!

Peace be with you

Good Morning!

Couple Card

Hello Everyone.  Sorry I have not been posting much lately.  I have been feeling under the weather and had no energy to spare for getting on the computer.

I do hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family and friends.  We got a bit of a blizzard here on the east coast and not sure what will be open and what will be closed today.  Keep warm out there.  :)

Today I am posting a anniversary card for my sister-in-law and her husband.  Happy Anniversary to them!

Take Care!

New Year Card

Just Purr-fect!

This card is so cute with its cat stamp.  It made the perfect theme for my New Year Card.

This card was made for the following challenge:

Charisma Cardz Challenge - New Year celebrations

Painting Another Box for a boy

First I started by taking off all the hardware on the box to get it ready for painting.

Next,  I painted the box a cherry red.  I needed to add two to three more colors.  The colors chosen were green, orange and white.  Using the three colors orange, green and white I decorated the top of the box with various sizes of circles.  Once that was all dry the whole box was given several layers of varnish.  

Now it is ready to go under the tree!

Pink Jewelry Box

This year I wanted to give my family members things I made.  A painted jewelry box is one of the things I wanted to make as a gift.  Painting free hand is not the easiest thing to do for me but I did my best.  Hopefully, the present will be well recieved.

First, I found this box at my local craft store.  The person that is receiving this box loves pink so that became the base color. Then I free handed little flowers and designs on the box.  Once that dried it was time to varnish the box so it would be protected.

We decided to add glitter to the varnish because the receiver wanted it to be glittery!

I have a few more items to make so have a great day!
