I Can't Believe it! I Won!

This Beautiful Print from Cindy

From the One World One Heart Event

Wow! What a nice surprise!

This is the scripture that immediately came to mind

 when I saw this print.

Proverbs 4:23 More than all else that is to be guarded, 

safeguard your heart, for out of it are the sources of life. 

One of my favorite scriptures....among many.

 She has hand written around the lady

"Watch over your heart with diligence...

for from it flow the springs of life...

I just love it!!!

Cindy , Thank You so Much!!

Kraftin' Kimmies Card Challenge #66

Just got some of the new Kraftin Kimmie's stamps. 

This one is Abigail Apple.

Thought I would go ahead with the latest 

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge 

and that 

I would challenge myself to also use some paper 

that was gifted to me as a hostess gift. 

I have no idea who makes it.

I have her holding the sentiment that says 

You're as Sweet as ...

Inside it will say

... apple pie!

 Is there more that can be done to this card?

Of course.

The question I ask myself is...

Will I?

Party Gifts

Thanks to my friend Katherine.

She's been rounding up some interested ladies.

 So I had an "How to make earrings 101 class" 

at my house this past Saturday.

Where I taught the ladies to make simple earrings

 like the one pictured here.

In addition to some tasty snacks and refreshments...

I made these little heart boxes using one

of the Sizzix dies I have.

 Basic Grey papers for the hearts.

Painted chipboard for the key.

Accented it with a little flower and ribbons.

Super easy. Super sweet!  

I stashed some crystal beads and pearls in them.

As a little thank you for coming.

And the Winner Is....

It's been said "All good things must end"
But do they?

Where this is the end of the One World One Heart
giveaway event.

 It is not an end to the new friendships that can develop

 from those we met along the way.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for taking the time to visit. 

And many of you found this blog interesting enough to follow.

Even though you were under no obligation to do so.

Well, it looks like our Hostess Lisa

has been cooking up something new for next year.

the Greeting Farm Stamps individual stamps 

of my choice.

Assorted Projects

More fun projects with Deb.

On out last creative Friday Deb brought over these clear 

Cupcake boxes that she has a die cut for. 

My top and insert piece she cut out of green card stock. 

Here is what I ended up doing to decorate the box.

Embossed the paper with a Cuttlebug folder

Recollection bling colored with alcohol inks.

Prima flowers and Irene's Gardina flowers.

Sequin trim and MS punches.

She also brought me one of the Michale's wood boxes 

(that we find in the dollar section) to alter.

 I worked on that today..I was trying to clean up 

for a class on Saturday..oh well. 

Clean up will now be tomorrow.

 Front

 Back

We also experimented with some different types of 

 fabrics to make more fabric flowers. 

We named some potato chip flowers.

Too much to explain.

Anyway we moved onto the more typical lollipop style.

Deb seemed happy playing with the fire.

I got around to playing with the fire too and did

 a couple that night.

 Then Monday I spent the afternoon making some more. 

I call these my Steampunk flowers.

They really go well with the 

Graphic 45 Steampunk Deputante papers.

(e-mail me if you are interested in a couple of these)

I have used one of them to decorate the above box.

And I've been making stick pins and charms and 

I finished my bead soup project which 

I will reveal on the 26th of this month.
