A workbox giveaway for Canadians!

The scrapbox

There is a wonderful scrapbooking storage unit called the scrapbox, it looks like an armoire when it is closed up. When you open the doors, that is when the creative juices start flowing! When opened, the scrapbox has a 9 foot span. It is beautiful~!
There are so many great storage compartments inside that getting everything to where you want it will take a bit. Look out though once you do.

Car Spec Board




This is a display board that I made for a friend of my husband. He has a car that he takes around to car shows and wanted a big board made with all of the specs and additions to what he has done to it. The wording is done in silver vinyl with the tittles done in red vinyl. The board is one of the display boards that you can get at your local Staples. He is going to be putting some Dyno sheets on the left side which is not visible in the photos.
This board took me 12 hours to cut out and weed. It was definitly one of the most time consuming projects I have ever attempted. Because of the silver letters and the black back ground, I couldn't see where I was placing them so the tape guides were useless and the lettering had to be placed free hand. That is why they aren't completly straight. I was having some issues with my transfer tape not sticking very well but am happy with how the project turned out overall.

Christmas bags



For the teachers gifts I wanted to make the gift bags more Christmas like so I made a Mr. & Mrs. Clause at 2.5 inches tall. The pair can be found on the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge from Provo Craft.

The brown paper gift bags I found in the craft section of a local Wal-Mart. I decorated them using stamps from Stamping Up. What an easy and in-expensive way to give gifts. I am definitly looking forward to making more of these bags for other occaisions.


This is the frame I have done for myself. The papers are virtually the same with a couple of extra pieces also from My Minds Eye. The background piece on mine is darker which worked out great because of having a black and white photo added.

This is the photo frame that I have made for my mom for christmas. In it are 2 photos of her 5 grandchildren.
The frame is from Creative Memories and the paper is from My Mind's Eye (Lost & Found series)
The photos were printed in a sepia tint and are both 5x7 before being slightly cropped.
