Nestle Treasures

As I was shopping for Hershey Nuggets last night, I came across Nestle Treasures and thought "why not?". They looked like they were the same size as the nuggets, and they come in other colored wrappers besides just gold and silver. So I bought a bag of the Peanut Butter Creme which come in red wrappers. I thought they would work well for Christmas or Valentines Day treats. Here is an example of 2 that I made.

Organized craft room - finally!

I was finally able to get my craft room organized to my liking. This actually happened a couple of weeks ago but my camera died and I wasn't able to take a picture. I now have a new camera and can share again!

This picture shows my work table (on the left) and my die cutting table (on the right). It also shows the shelving that was already there when we bought the house 1.5 years ago.
On the wall to the right of my work table is my wall of embellishments and 12x12 papers.
This picture shows the area behind my work table.
My MIL painted these birds a few years ago. There are a total of 8 and I have them hanging on my craft room walls. She was going to throw them out and thankfully I was there to rescue them! I think they are so fun and cute and really adds playfulness to my room.
In this last picture you are looking into my room through my door. The antique dresser in the left of the picture holds all of my misc. things to alter, envelopes, etc, etc, etc.

wreath card

I made this wreath using a set from PaperTrey Ink called "Take a Bough". It doesn't really show up too well in the scan but I stippled brown ink all over the white cs to tone it down a bit. The faux stitches come from a set called "Hanging by a Thread" and is made by Technique Tuesday.

sympathy cards...

I had to make a sympathy card for a funeral this week. I always have such a hard time making them - I suppose everyone does. I never want to over-do them, etc. So I just try to keep them very simple. Here are 2 examples. The top one is the one that I made today. The bottom one is one I made earlier this year.

Christmas ornament/book mark

I think this would be such a cute little Christmas gift for a sunday school teacher to give to their students! I made it to be used as a tree ornament but you could also use it as a book mark.

Celebrate Jesus' Birthday

These are 2 cards that I made for a contest. I used the papertrey ink set called "piece of cake" and made Christmas cards! The word "Jesus'" was computer generated.
