It's not Goodbye...

Well as you can see I have not been around for a very long time now.  My life has moved my in some new directions and away from paper crafting.  Don't get me wrong, I still really enjoy paper crafting but it is no longer a major focus for me.  (I will post later about my new adventures:)

I am no longer a Stampin Up demonstrator and therefore this blog is going to look very different going forward.   I am leaving the blog active because there are some great projects and posts that I love and want access to.  I will be posting occasionally going forward but it will be for challenge entries and fun projects, not for business.  

I still love SU products will you will see them in future posts, if you are looking for a Demo I would be happy to find you one.

So for now it is not goodbye,  I will be on here as much as time allow and I will see you soon.

Where Have I been???

I have been away, it has been a week with no computer and I think now that it is back I just want to get back on-line!   I will be spending the next 24 hours re-installing everything on my newly fixed PC but I wanted to just put up a quick note to say I am around and will be posting new content soon!!

This weekend I am off to the Wild Rose Retreats to craft and craft and craft some more.  I will be working on Christmas cards for some classes I have coming up and maybe some great projects for a Fun Christmas event I am looking at doing.

I will keep you posted.  Until then check out this SU video showcasing the ALL NEW "Snowflake Card Die" it is adorable!

Have a great Night.

SU Video - Star Boxes

Good Morning!  It is Monday and normally that would be a bad thing but the snow is melted and the weather is beautiful!   Unfortunatly our city has a lot of clean up to do from all of the snow last week, so many trees were damaged is just hurts the heart to look at it!   My area was not hit too bad, our trees are small, but some areas are just awful!!

On to brighter news though...  STARS
Stampin' Up put out a video on how to make some super cute Star boxes using the Star Framelits in the Annual Catalogue.   The "Under the Tree" speciality designer series paper is perfect for these little boxes too.   Below the video you can see the ones I made using this tutorial.

I just love these boxes for decorations and with just a couple of minor changes you can turn them into treat boxes too.

Here you can see where I cut a tab down and did not add adhesive so it just tucks in.  You can add a little treat to the box, such as jelly beans and the box is not ruined when opened.  So Fun!

Let me know how your Star Boxes turned out!
