What do you think?

Ok so this is a non-stamping related entry :o), but my husband asked me to do this. He is such a great guy, I had to do it for him! He made some cutting boards over the holidays and wanted opinions from others. So what do you think? They are made out of oak!




Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a very creative day!!!

Easy Bag Topper

These are a few quick bag toppers I made for my Etsy shop. They are super easy and dress up any little gift or package. I used very vanilla card stock. I used the hostess set called Organic Grace. The ink I used was Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette, Perfect Plum, and Chocolate Chip. I also used the color spritzer and a chocolate chip marker. I used the scallop edge punch for the edge. To get it to the right size, I measured the bag's width that then I measured length of how far down I wanted to label to go. I then just stapled the topper to my bag. It is only one layer, but it adds a fun touch!

This is absolutely delicious!!! Well anything is yummy that has chocolate in it right!!!

testing my signature...

I just want to see if this works...I added a signature to the bottom of my post!! I found out how to do it from Allison @ Stampin When I Can! I followed along and used My Live Signature to create my very own signature! I then used the rest of Allison's directions to add it to my post! The only thing different from here directions was that I did only use the html code from the website (where it says "Want to use this signature") and not from Allison to add it to my blog.

OK...so the white outline around the name looks kind of funny. What do you think? I am not sure how to change that without changing the color of the background. I will try to mess with it later because I need to go stamp a birthday card for my Brother-In-Law!!! Thanks for looking and enjoy!

A Little Purse!

I thought I would share something I made recently! A crocheted little purse! Crocheting is another passion of mine!!! I love to crochet!! It is something that you can pick up and take anywhere! And do anytime! I made this little purse for a close friend of mine for her birthday! I used 100% cotton yarn to make it!! She loved it!
