My Creative Time Stitched Mini Bag Die

Good afternoon friends!
I've a bit of time to play in my craft room again today!
I've made these little cute mini treat bags with Peppermint Carmex Chapsticks.
You can find the Stitched Mini Bag Die here.

Well, have a great day!!

Rhonda

I've had some crafty time!!

I am so excited to share a couple little Christmas gifts that I have been busy making!
First I made  these cute little treat holders, ( I found a tutorial for over at Rejoice and Create on You-tube).

These little goodies have a K-cup and a Ferrero Rocher candy in them.
I have used the Fun-Sized Holiday Bow Die for that cute little bow on the front as well as the stamp JOY from the stamp set From Our Family To Yours, both from My Creative Time. The little tag is a SU punch.

Next I made a few  treat boxes. I  used the Treat Slider Box Dies from My Creative Time, the little snowflake stamp from the set called: It's a Magical Season, and also a Snowflake Die from the Winter Flake Dies.

(I have tried and tried to save this file different ways -it shows right side up on the original picture now, but WILL NOT save to this post correctly! It has been a long time since I have posted, but for the life of me, I can't get it to post correctly!

I also made 12 of these little Hot Coco holders...they have a Hot Coco and a Candy Cane inside.

Looks like I better get my camera charged up-as it looks like my phone is not taking very good pictures...so hope the pics will be clearer next time!

Enjoy the rest of your Holiday Weekend!

Rhonda

I've missed you all!!

Hello!
Well, I have been gone for a long time...
but now I AM BACK! I have really missed blogging!!

I have spent the last couple of years getting my CDA, and taking another college course to better myself for my Assistant Teaching position. I love being an assistant teacher to young children in preschool...it is very rewarding and I love watching them grow and learn. I also have found on the other hand, that I am ready to get back to blogging and crafting with all of these goodies I have (I haven't stopped buying-so now have lots to use up)!
 I will also use it as my way of getting some "me time" to relax or de-stress in the evening!
I shall be back soon with a few things to show you!

Bee Happy!
Rhonda

Saturday Paper A La Mode

Hello!

I am so sorry to be a day late with my card today for SATURDAY PAPER A LA MODE!

Our sponsor this week is Dr. Digi's House of Stamps! Our theme is CUTE AS A BUTTON.

I have used the digi: MISTLETOE

The sentiment is from the Cardz Tv stamp set "Naughty or Nice".

Well, the time has come that I am going to have to step down from all my DT positions for a while.

School will be starting back up soon, and I will be going back to work, and my daughter is really into sports and band....so that means a lot of games, and meets coming up soon!

I also am currently taking classes to get my CDA (Child Development Associates), and have found that for me, the homework is taking a bit more time than I had imagined!

I will still try to stop by and say hi often, and hope to still stay crafty and post some things, just do not like missing posting posts on time...

Thank you to all the AWESOME ladies that have allowed me to grow by being on their DT's, it has been wonderful and something I will not ever forget!

Thank you to REGINA from THE CUTTING CAFE

Thank You to MARY at CARDZTV

and also to all the AWESOME ladies over at the OUTLAWZ

Hope to see all soon. (or sooner than later at least!)

Hello!

I am so excited to be a Guest DT for this weeks challenge over at 

Die Cuttin Divas!

The challenge this week is: Camping Fun with Woodland Animals, and somehow I only saw the Woodland Animals part....so I unfortunately left out anything on the cards to do with camping, but I think they would be really fun to take along and send out to family/friends while you are on a camping trip!

After all, everyone likes to get something fun in the mail, right?

This is a set of four 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 cards with envelopes (that I made with my new 

Envelope Punch Board from We R Memories Keepers).

I found these cuties over on ETSY: Catching Color Flies/(CCDESIGNS).

I used the Print and Cut feature on my cricut....easy peasy!

Aren't they cute?

Do you ever send out little cards or postcards while you are camping?

Well, thanks for stopping by, I hope you will play along with the challenge!

THE CUTTING CAFE INSPIRATION

Good Morning!
This week over at THE CUTTING CAFE we are using one of the new Pop Up Cards Regina has designed....so fun! This little TULIP Pop up Card was just perfect for me to make this week, as I had a Thank You to make. There is a business in the next town over that sells plants and flowers...5 years ago when they opened we had stopped in there to look around. The owner overheard my daughter Emily saying excitedly that they had a flower named Emily!! Well, he GAVE her one of her own! The next year we stopped in there to buy Mothers Day hanging baskets, and he said "you are Emily, aren't you?" and he then proceeded to GIVE her another Emily flower!! Then he made us promise to come in every year to get her flower, as he said she brought him good luck every year!
He informed me last year he still had our very first Thank you card! How cool is that!?
So, this is this years Thank You...perfect....thank you Regina for making such awesome files!
