Photo Holders!!

So I have a new little project that I made using Kelleigh Ratzlaff's "Jewelry Box" template. It's available right now at SPD and then it will be released at TDC! I used the kit "Autumn Splendor" by Newlife's Dreams and a few other papers from various kits of hers to make these.

Supplies:

Premium photo paper

Kelleigh Ratzlaff's template

Beading wire

Potpouri

Hot glue gun

Pioneer Glue stick

Distressed Ink

Ribbon/Raffia

You should definitely try it!

Hop Aboard!!

Kelleigh Ratzlaff is having ANOTHER Blog Hop this week and I get to be a part of it!! WOOHOO! She makes amazing stuff and there are endless things you can do with them! Today I want to show you my newest creation using her "Jewelry Box" Template and it's available at Shabby Pickle Designs!!! Don't worry though, it will still be released at The Digi Chick after this month is over!

Here is my version of it! I used Shabby Princess's Kit Festival for the box.

The little flowers are made using other papers in the "Festival" kit. I just cut them out into flowers and the added a little mod podge to them and curled up the edges to resemble flowers. I added a button and a sweet little tag with my initial on it! This is what it looks like when you open it! You can put so many little things in here and it would make a great gift to someone! I hope you've enjoyed my little creation! Now hop on over to the other ladies blogs to check out what else is new with Kelleigh and her amazing designs!

Perfect Pumpkin!!!

I am SOOO excited to be joining another hybrid team!!! Kelleigh Ratzlaff has graciously allowed me to be on her CT ever since I became addicted to hybrid projects! Don't get me wrong, I still love regular scrapping but I love getting my hands dirty and creating beautiful pieces of work that I can decorate my house or give gifts with!! Anyway, my first project was to make this adorable pumpkin box using the Perfect Pumpkin Tempate. I decided to go all out and make a centerpiece for my dining room table! I gathered some sticks in the yard and glued them together, made my little boxes, added a few leaves and voila! Here is my new autumn centerpiece! I love the way it turned out! Head on over to The Digi Chick to pick up this template! It's perfect for autumn!

My 1st hybrid template... and a freebie!

Hey everyone! I have recently become addicted to hybrid projects and I wanted to share a little something with you! I made these for my Mom and the ladies she works with. I had a ton of fun making these! The memo or post it note holder was a fabulous idea from Juliemomof4. She is super talented as well and she got me hooked on hybrid! The notepad cover is a template from the fabulous designer Mel Wilson and her kit Hybrid Gift Pack! Check out these photos....

Everything was made using the awesome collab kit by Mel Wilson and Mari Koegelenberg available at The Digi Chick! You can also buy bits and pieces of the collab! The little buttons are from GingerScraps kit Fancy Fall.

OK so now I challenge you to make a littly hybrid for yourself! They are really fun and all you need are a few supplies! This free template is the exact size you need. Just add your papers, elements and print! Easy Peasy!

Supplies I used:

Scrap kit of your choice

Matte Photo Paper

Chipboard or recycled cardboard (I've used a cereal box before!)

Mod Podge or really good glue stick

Metal clips

Ribbon

Distressed Ink (optional)

When I went to make this I had most of this stuff lying around already! So what are you waiting for? Click the preview to download or click here.

Candy Bar Box

So Mel (The Hybrid Kid) has this awesome new hybrid template out in her store today! It's a candy bar box but it can be used for much more than that!! You can use it as a money holder since the holidays are right around the corner, or you can do what I did and create your own gift certificates! My hubby is away for a few weeks and I wanted to cheer him up by sending him a little incentive to hurry home :) I made him these certificates and he can redeem them to me whenever he chooses. Good for a back rub, foot massage, car wash etc. Cool huh?!

Army Wife

Here is my latest LO! These pictures of me were taken at our first military ball. My husband has been deployed many times and we've spent more of our marriage away from each other than together. Honor, Courage, Strength and Pride are the values I live by each and every day. Journaling: Being an Army Wife requires a lot of values. It is both mentally and spiritually draining. The most important ones to me are... Honor- to live up toall the Army values. Courage- to look danger , fear and even death straight in the eyes and know within myself that I can and will persevere. Strength- physicaly and mentally tough. Pride- I am always proud of my soldier and myself.No matter what I will stand up for him and his duty. I am proud to be an Army Wife!

With Love From Me

So my husband did something so sweet the other day! He brought home a beautiful bouquet of flowers just because! I loved them and wanted to share a little love with you all as well :) Hope you like it!! Click image to be taken to 4shared to download or click here
