Winter Treat box

I thought it would be cute to give her some Chai tea in a fun wintery treat box.

Congrats Sue D!!! I will be e-mailing you shortly or you can e-mail your address to me and I can get your goodies out in the mail to you!

Today is my day to share a project for Joy's Life Design Team. Joy asked us to make a project with a new technique that we have always wanted to try. I decided to go with double embossing. I love the look of it and it was something I have never done but it was on my list. I made a masculine card that I thought I could give to my hubby just because. ;)

In our house it's no secret I have a thing for mustaches, especially my hubby's.

This sentiment comes from Joy's Life "Yummy Puns" stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!!
Make sure to stop by the Joy's Life Design Team blog to see what new techniques the team has come up with this past week!
Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Anniversary Card with something NEW!

Hi Everyone! 

 I hope you are all enjoying 2013 and have plenty of fun new toys to play with!

 Time for another fun challenge. 

Cut It Up Challenge # 10-"In With The New" 

Create a paper project with a new crafty item that you got for the holidays. Didn't get any crafty items? No worries, use something from your stash that you bought and have not used yet.

 Must use a die cut.

I bought several fun new embossing folders from Hobby Lobby. So I thought it would be fun to make a Anniversary card with one of my new embossing folders.

I love how pretty and elegant this card turned out and I hope the special couple I gave it to loved it.

They celebrated 40 years! Wow, isn't that amazing? What an inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join in on this really fun challenge!
We can't wait to see all the fun NEW stuff everyone has to share!
Have a wonderfully crafty day!
