Art Keeper Box for B

Look what you can do with a simple storage box! (This one is from Hobby Lobby ... you know how it is when you see something and think, "I can make something special out of THAT!") It's about 11 x 14 inches.

I used retired Emporium papers from Close To My Heart, their big white paper flowers, wooden buttons, and waxy flax to create a special art keeper box for Beatrice.  (The dimensional letters are from Michael's store.)

This was quick and easy project -- and now Beatrice has a big box to keep all her drawings and coloring pages nice and neat.

Can you imagine the many uses for these sturdy boxes? My entire life could use tons of these!!!

Big Bloom Clear Card

Inside the card

We're getting the effects of Hermine today. Two inches of rain fell last night, and even more today, but we're happy since our grass, trees, and flowers all need the moisture.

It was a great day to play in the studio!
I love creating with the clear card bases from CTMH!

This birthday greeting is for a very special man who will soon celebrate his 89th birthday, God willing. He likes flowers and nature. And the Felicity paper colors & patterns are just perfect for this guy!

I learned to make the paper flower at the July Unit Meeting at Deb Butler's (my awesome upline) in Ohio!

I used: CTMH Clear Card base, Felicity* papers, Shimmer Gold brad (new fall item!), Nature's Ambience Chocolate Rub-on, "From Me to You" and "Cherish the Moment" stamps, Twilight and Autumn Terracotta inks

* the quality or state of being happy!

Wedding Memory Keeper Box

Our DD is a bridesmaid this coming weekend for her grad school friend, so I decided to make the special couple a monogrammed memory keeper box to store their special paper items such as announcements, shower invitations, wedding invitation, and their wedding service.

They've chosen to have a black & white wedding color scheme, and the Silhouette papers are perfect for this project.

Blessings as you begin your married life together, Anthony and Tonya, and may you live and love more each day!
