Sunshine and laughter

Good Afternoon!

I mentioned on my post this morning that I had several visions in my head on what I wanted to do with the Mojo Monday sketch this week.  Here's another one!  (two more floating around that I want to do yet, but we'll see how time goes  lol)

Christmas Blessings card

Good Morning!

Mojo Monday put up sketch #318, it's such a different (and fun) sketch!

I have several visions of what to do with this sketch, I'm sure you'll see a few cards this week.  :)

More Candle Boxes ~ part 2

Good Morning!

As I posted yesterday, I re-sized the candle boxes that I made from John's post HERE.  I have two different size battery operated votive candles, so in the end, I made 3 different sized boxes.  The last one I made is the one I'm using for my Mom...

This is for a bigger sized votive, I made it 2 3/4 inches by 4 1/2 inches high.  Because this all started with John's tutorial, I call the two sides of paper sheet 1 and sheet 2.  Sheet 1 is 6 x 7 1/2 and Sheet 2 is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2.  I also cut two square pieces cut at 2 3/4.  Sheet 1 is scored, starting with the 6 in length at the top, at 1/4 and 3 and 5 3/4 inches.  Turning the sheet to the 7 1/2 side at the top of the scor pal, scoring at 2 3/4 and 7 1/4.  Sheet 2, with the 5 1/2 at the top of the scor pal, score at 2 3/4, turn the sheet 90 degrees and score at 2 3/4 and 7 1/4.

I also made one 2 x 4 inches.  (If you need the specs, just let me know.)  I wasn't sure if I was going to use this size, so I didn't decorate it yet.

The final size I made (so far! LOL) was 3 x 4.  (Again, e-mail me if you need the specs for this one.)  I didn't decorate this one either.

And the three from today, plus the one from yesterday's post....

More Candle Boxes ~ part 1

Good Morning!

I "blame" John from John Next Door and my husband for today's (and tomorrow's)  post!  (Thanks guys! :) )

I made another candle box, intending to give it to a friend who really liked the first one I made (here).  I showed it to my husband and he told me I always give away the "good ones", so I'm keeping this one....

and giving away the white one.

Next I made another one, intending it for my Mom for her birthday next month.  This one has a color changing candle inside, which looks really cool.  The paper is from DCWV's new paper stack at JoAnn's.

I showed this one to my husband and we talked about how my Mom always has candles on her table for big family gatherings.  I then mentioned that maybe I could re-figure the box size and make some for votive candles.  My husband suggested I give her the large box with two smaller boxes to sit on the side of it.  I loved the idea, the only problem being I used up the paper the matched the large candle.  lol

I am planning on finishing those up today and will post them tomorrow.  John, I LOVE your candle boxes and I thank you very much for the tutorial.... but.... wow, I'm spending a lot of time on these!  LOL

Far Far Hill and Spellbinders

Good Morning!

I found a website that has a ton of graphic's that can be downloaded for free, Far Far Hill.
 I found this image....

and using my Spellbinders Elegant Labels Four, I made this card....

Bon Bon Box

Good Morning!

While checking out the Graphic 45 blog the other day, I found THIS post.  I thought it would be a great idea for my big family Christmas this year.  We have 6 little ones 3 years old and younger.  I thought I would fill them with Yogurt Treats that they all love.

While I do like this size, it's the size they used one the Graphic45 post, I decided to make a smaller one also.  I cut it out at 12x6.5.  I scored at 2,4 & 6 and then along the long size at 3/4, 1 1/2 & 2 1/4.

Have a great weekend!

Elmo

Good Morning!

My son-in-laws birthday was Monday and my daughter suggested an Elmo card for him.  Using Sesame Street Friends Cricut Cartridge, I cut out Elmo at 4.5.
