We are a great pear

Hello everyone! This week Joy's Life Design Team will be showcasing projects that include food. 

With the holiday rush you might not have time to make a big breakfast, but who says you can't make a quick and thoughtful one? 

Before we headed to do some shopping Saturday I made my hubby a quick Nutella and pear toasted sandwich along with a card. He truly is the best because he's so patient with my crafting addiction hobby ;-) We really are a great "pear". 

This sentiment is from Joy's Yummy Puns stamp set. This set is so fun! 

As hard as I tried I could not get a good photo with both the card and sandwich together. We've been having rain and overcast these past days.  

 The card base is my absolute favorite shaped card from a cartridge. It's from Wild Card cartridge. The pears are from the From My Kitchen cartridge. I can't remember which cartridge the bows are from, I just hit the search button on the Gypsy and searched bow. 

 The pattern paper is from Echo Park. Here you can see the pears are on foam for dimension. 

Have a fun, crafty day!

snowflake gift box

Hello, hello.  
This week's challenge over Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is to create a project using a snowman or a snowflake. 

I know I've said all of the boxes I've been making are easy, but this one truly is the EASIEST and FASTEST one to make! 

The box is from the Wrap It Up cartridge. 

Here's another look at this easy peasy box. The paper is from DCWV's Ultimate Stack.

Don't open til the 25th trifold card :-)

Hi everyone! 

Over at Made Especially for You we have a super easy challenge. All you have to do is create a Christmas card using a die cut. I actually created this card almost entirely out of die cuts. :-) 

 The scallop and stitched circle are dies from My Creative Time. The sentiment "Oh Christmas Tree" and the tree itself are from My Creative Time's All Around Christmas stamp set. 

The twine is from Trendy Twine. 

The card base itself is also a die cut. I used My Creative Time's 3x3 Trifold card die. The sentiment on the front of the card, "Don't Open til the 25th!" comes with the card die. 

The heart is a die that comes with MCT's 100% Sweetness stamp set. 

The sentiment "All hearts go home for Christmas" is from MCT's Mixed Holiday Sentiments. 

I cut part of the trifold card to cover the inner flap because the twine was a little bit distracting on this side. 

Don't forget to join the challenge HERE for a chance to win one stamp set from Whimsical Designs - winner's choice! 

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Holidays Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to Joy's Life Design Team Happy Holidays Blog Hop! You should have arrived from Laura's blog, Laura's Crafts & More. If you just happened to stop by, make sure to start at Joy's Life! You don't want to miss a thing! 

I've really been enjoying making treat holders and when I saw the pillow boxes that Joy carries I just knew I had to use them for Christmas treats! You can get some HERE, just click on craft containers. :-)   

Decorating this pillow box was so easy, fast, and fun! You see that cute snowman? He's from the brand new stamp set Oh, Christmas Puns! I stamped him on a small rectangle mat and used copic markers to color him. Then I used my corner chomper - 1/8 rounder to round the edges. After, I used Tim Holtz Dried Marigold distress ink to ink around the edges of the mat. 

This "fa la la la la" sentiment is also from Oh, Christmas Puns stamp set! This set is exploding with cuteness right?!  

For the back I used a Martha Stewart punch for the edges and the paper is from My Mind's Eye. 

Time for Blog Candy!

On the first day of Christmas... :-)

Hi everyone! 

I have seen many 12 Days of Christmas, 25 Days of Christmas, and December Daily projects all over bloggy world and Instagram so I decided to give it a try. 

My goal is to do "12 Days of Christmas" but if I can keep up with 25 even better! 

I haven't done layouts in a LONG time and I couldn't find my mojo, but I was able to make this quick easy layout. I might add tags or a little something later on. 

I still haven't mastered photographing layouts, but working on it :-) 

Deets: 

"Sweet Holiday Wishes" is from Winter Frolic. 

Penguin - Create a Critter.

Santa Hat - Pooh and Friends (It's flipped) and has Crystal stickles.
