Yesterday's Projects

 My friend Holly got bored with a couple of her toys so we made a trade.
I got 2 Sizzix Dies... 


 I cut a couple of the milk carton so I could get the folding right, then the stamp placement!
Isn't this thing just the tiniest cutie?!


I spent 'too much' time in the SCS galleries for ideas on this thing.
I found a post with a link to a blog 
Kim Score
 She has this darling little holder for the Milk Cartons. She also has a tutorial on her blog! 



The Petal Cone above was my second 1... we will let number one rest in peace! 
This one just sits here now for Spook to try stealing... Oh he's a monster if I have ribbon out! 


This one I made for Jess (my step sons mom) her b'day is next week. 
I must give credit for this project idea to Holly Krautkremer
Although I found her sample on SCS in her gallery. Her blog is awesome and full of ideas too!

I am so gonna figure these out for a workshop project!

Tommy won't share!

Joker was sleeping on this table, he got down to follow me out of the room. Tommy jumped up there and went to s leep. Joker stood on the floor starting at him, he'd whine every once in a while with no reaction from Tommy. After a half hour he jumped up on the table too. Tommy looked up at him, mostly just to see what moved the table. He went right back to sleep.
As you can see, my craft table is right next o this one...see my Crop-A-Dile. I reached over and touched Tommy, when he looked at me I told him Joker wanted some room to lay down... not that I expect my critters to understand me LOL He moved! only a little bit, but he moved! 
Joker kept touching him with his nose... like poking him. 
They are my entertainment!

Man, I love this punch and stamp set!


I did this one for VSN

HOSTESS Barbara 'bejoyce'
"My challenge for you is to make a card or other project using one or more 3-dimensional flowers that you have made.
You can use punches, dies, Nestabilities, or even cut them freehand. You can use cardstock, printed paper, vellum, tissue paper, ribbon or even fabric. Note that you have to make the flowers youself--no Primas or other pre-made flowers, please! Layer those babies, and make those flowers pop off the page!"

I really love this stamp set and the punch!
