More boxes and bags and burning the midnight oil

Jen and I are burning the midnight oil. I search and she designs and defines. Even though she has strep. However, we were whipping out the projects until the wee hours of the night. Take a look:

Tall news for purses

If you think the jeweled purse is cute. Just wait until you see what Jen and I have done. It's a tall order but she as usual rose to the challenge. It's called a tall purse and it's also found on Mel Stampz blog. Take a look:

Jeweled Purse

In all the mayhem of cutting and sifting for projects, I forgot to cut this one. It is a jeweled purse from Mel Stampz blog. It is a really cute purse with endless possibilities. You create a grid using your Scor-pal and then you can add rhinestones or whatever you like to spice it up. I use stick-on rhinestones and diecut some flowers using my Sissix diecutter. I also used a bookplate for the front also a Sissix die. Didn't it turn out cute? Thanks JenC for all your expertise. Enjoy!

Sniffles, topnotes, and Notecards

What do these three things have in common? Well amid sniffles and other symptoms, Jen and I were able to whip together three more projects using DS. One is a topnote giftcard holder that Angie Juda had on her blog. The other projects are 3x3 note card purses compliments of Maria(Stampin Inpirations) and Mel Stampz. These are two great blogs with tons of inpirations and fabulous projects. Now on to the projects:

Lollipops anyone?

I recently got a template for Lauren Meader's Lollipop Box. It was recently released on the PaperTrey Ink Blog. It's really cute and has many versatile uses. Lauren recently made a cute little box that houses some candy. I decided to make the same box using her template. Here it is:I copied the template onto a sheet of green cardstock and then cut it out. For the window I stamped it using Stazon ink. I stamped the flower and then colored using colored pencils. I tied a bow and adhered it to the box. Voila! A cute idea for a gift.

just keep crafting....

Here's a one of a kind box that was created in the DS by guess who?

Inspiration

Do you like my new background look? I downloaded that from thecutesetblogontheblock.blogspot. Some make resolutions about the coming year. I say tomorrow is not promised to noone so scrap now. On a serious note: It has been noted by many scrapbook novices that inspiration for layouts can be found almost anywhere. So here's my inspiration for this layout. See it can be done.
