Teacher Treats!

Just wanted to share a quick project I made using the Artfully Wicked Kit from Tallyscrapper.com.
I used a wooden treat box from my local crafting store....covered it with paper using Mod Podge, glittered the handles. I cut out a tag and covered a wood circle with another pattern paper. I stuffed some Tulle into the box and will fill it with treats for a teacher at school!
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave me some love!

Fall Cuties

Sunday Funday!

Hello there friends! It's Sunday here and I have been up for HOURS already! I have a nice little part time job delivering newspapers. Well....it's 7 days a week and can be very tiring...so the hubby decided to help me out on Sundays! This Sunday we took the girls out...yeah, it was interesting to say the least.

Hannah had a BLAST!

Olivia on the other hand....not so much!
Well, I will have some exciting news over the next couple of days to share with all of you so stay tuned! Until then, I am hoping to get some cleaning done....ugh....and get some scrapbooking finished today!
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

They were inspired by a challenge over at Tallyscrapper!
The first card is a submission for a sketch challenge over at Sassy Lil' Sketches!

SMASHing my Memories

So I am in LOVE with the idea of a Smashbook but didn't want to buy something I could make....so here is what I did!
I used a cereal box to make the covers....just cut them up and covered with some Kraft paper....
I made dividers from the cereal box and some cheap dividers I bought at the Dollar Tree....
I made some pockets to hold things for smashing and punched holes....rings....and BAM!
SMASHing my Memories!
