Christmas and the gym.

I work out with a great bunch of ladies and we have a wonderful trainer. On Pinterest I found a little bag that had a nail file and nail polish with a tag that said "For your Mistle Toes". This is my take on that idea.

I picked up fuzzy socks, nail polish, foot scrubber, foam toe things, foot cream and them found these wine glasses at The Dollar Tree that said " get your jingle on". All of the girls like wine so it did double duty for holding the goodies and holding their wine. :-)

My tag..

I also made them beaded snowflakes.

For our trainer we got him a couple gift cards so I made this card to put them in.I used the Frozen Cricut cartridge and cut him at 8. The trees are Tim Holtz dies.

Here is a close up so you can see the sparkley paper I used for the snow and the trees. You cannot really tell but for Olaf I used a fuzzy white paper.

Side view...I used the same patterened paper I used on the front of the card to make a pocket to put the gift cards in.

Magic Box - Suitcase shape

A friend wanted to surprise her husband on his 40th with a trip to San Francisco. She had a friend get him to the airport and se was standing there with suitcases and this box. 

San Francisco Suitcase

This has all of their favorite places to visit while there.

I found this map of San Francisco online and printed it out on cardstock. I folded it up and then crumpled it up so it looked well used.

Another friend's daughter was graduating from college. She wanted to surprise her with a trip to New York and have a gift card in it.

Magic Box - Christmas sleigh

I have been wanting to try a magic box or exploding box. The girls I work out with wanted to give our trainer a gift card so I made a box to put it in.

The three empty flaps is where we all signed our Merry Merry's.

I cut the deer and sleigh from Create-a-Critter. I made two cuts and then put them together so they would stand. For the sleigh I added a piece in the back to spread it so it would hold the gift card. I think for my first attempt turned out pretty good.

Happy crafting my friends!!!

Easter Goodies for the Ladies I work out with.

I work out with a wonderful group of ladies at the gym.  For Easter I made them all a little goodie bag.  Since I had to finish them at work on break I forgot to take a picture of them. I included the handmade card, handmade earrings, two motivation quotes I really like, a small bag of carrots and a piece of dark chocolate.

~*~*~*Earrings for the Girls*~*~*~

These were super simple and fast.  I have an over abundance of glass china beads.  I buy them every time Craft Warehouse has a sale on them.  They are so super sparkly.

~*~*~*Goodie Bags for the Trainers*~*~*~

Again I used the same paper as the cards I made for the girls and again I used my favorite cartridge...Create-a-Critter.  In the picture you see the little bag of carrots (gotta be healthy) but if you flip it the back side is a piece of dark chocolate...mmmm.

Thank you for visiting my blog!!

Beaded Bracelet and Earring set.

This is a very belated Christmas present for my sister-in-law. Before I send it I am going to make a matching necklace for her birthday in June. I just hope I don't lose it by then...lol. I like this so much that I am making a set for myself!

Mother's Day for my Sister...

I have been a really bad blogger lately and have lots of stuff to post and will hopefully get back to blogging regularly soon.

I made a card and earrings for my sister for Mother's Day.

I saw this stamp set and HAD to buy it so I could make a card for my sister. A couple years ago while we were cleaning out my Mom's garage she had picked up a seashell and held it to her ear. I was standing behind her and started making a wooshing ocean sound. She turned around and held out the shell and was saying how she hadn't heard one so load and clear before. She put it back to her ear and I went back to wooshing and in mid-woosh she turned around and caught me. I almost got clobbered. So now any time I find something that has a girl holding a shell to her ear I HAVE to buy it for her. She loved the card...hehe.

She loves Fairies and purple so I thought these were perfect for her. The ear wires, head pins and fairy is from Vintaj. The beads are china beads...purple and a champange color. They turned out really pretty and they almost wound up in my jewelry box....hehe.
