Holiday Art Blessing Givaway

I just received a beautiful gift in the mail last week from Lani and her blog giveaway at Healing Expressions
Included inside this beautiful butterfly box was a print of one of her original designs on a card (below).  The round pocket mirror (below) also looks like one of her creations but I'm not certain...I'll have to ask her about that.

You can find her inspirational artwork and gifts on her Etsy...gorgeous pieces....and now showcased at Camas Antiques Washington state.

Paper Flowers/Gift Package Ribbon

Paper Flowers and Ribbon

I am always trying to find gift ideas that are truly functional and helpful in making gift giving fun. Last year I made cloth re-usable bags and tags. This year I love the look of homemade flowers. So I decided to attach them to 3ft of ribbon for wrapping gifts.

Some have a knot from the ribbon for the middle of the flower, others have small faux flowers and brads.

And of course what makes them complete is a charming way to store them..in my recycled jar with my homemade decorated top!

Look at the amazing goodies my friend and Scrapbook Diva, Luisa sent to me.

She is a Close To My Heart consultant and your" go to gal" for these great stamps... ect. I won these awesome goodies through the monster card challenge with her and Creative Scrapbooking Divas. Thank you sooo much Luisa, I have been wanting a wonderful bird stamp and this collection is absolutely beautiful!!

Lastly, Karen Ladd was the winner of my October challenges with the CSDivas. Congrats Karen!

Scrapbook Pages/BlogCandy Gifts

Alecia from Creative Scrapbooking Diva's sent me a package of goodies for winning her challenge on the Diva web-site. Check out her home page as she has great scrapbook pictures to inspire you plus some super dicussions and tutorials.
Once you get started on the site, it's hard to stop surfing if you love to scrapbook. They have 150 members so the creativity goes an as well as the monthly challenges.





Have you ever made those little clothespin cuties? (http://www.klutz.com/ and click Chicken Socks) I have been making them with my 6yr old. They are so cute I had to make a little shadowbox for the completes ones and hang it on her wall. I used an unfinished bottom of a box, layered the inside and sides with pink PaperPerfect. It's like spreadable paper in a jar. We used a litte paint and glitter as per 6yr old.
Then I added the paper doily to the back and flowers to each corner. Cute!!! We have room to add 2 more.







These are pages I did months ago and just getting around to sharing them. This is a pretty simple lay-out but I wanted to extend to the outer portion of the pictures the characteristics of the bike. The whispies on the handlebars :) and the strings of pearls holding dangly gems around her seat.






This page includes one of my favorite quotes. I have made a mini-book with 17 quotes and 4 web-sites which is for sale on MY Etsy

Things that make me Smile

This gorgeous heavy snow that makes this tree look so majestic is also trouble here in Maine this week. We were without power for 48hrs which is just long enough to appreciate your running water!! The sun shining on these trees for the last two days has been beautiful.

This is a great bag I won from my friend at MeAndMyWorld, formally Lilolme. This is a great reversable bag and the colors just make me smile. Thanks so much Jenne. You worked hard on this bag and I'm so grateful to have it. Check out her new love of photography she is sharing on her blog now.

Love-my-scrapbooking website has my paperclips on her techniques page along with how to use alcohol inks. Thanks for checking it out. She also started a "scrappy" group on Facebook.
