CPC Candlelight Christmas Tree and Card

Today I have another fun and fabulous Christmas project that Christy Fulk designed for Craft Project Central.   Wouldn't this make a great centerpiece?  It would also make a very special gift for someone who does not have a lot of room .  It may be a small tree but it packs a lot of Christmas cheer!

To get the step by step directions  for this great project all you need to do is subscribe to Craft Project Central for November.  A monthly subscription is only $10 which comes down to $1 a project.  That is a whole lot of crafting fun for a very little price!  After you subscribe be sure to check out Christy's blog for even more stamping inspiration!

Today is also the last day to enter to win a free month of Craft Project Central.  Go to this post for all the scoop!

It Has Got To Be Done

Happy Mother's Day!  I know I am late but everyday should be Mother's Day, right?  It was a busy, fun and productive  weekend.   Which leads me to my mission today.  I have been asking, asking and asking if the closet doors in my stamp room could easily be removed or not. Guess what?  They can be and they are off!  Today I am going to spend the day cleaning and organizing my stamp room.  I love doing this even though it usually results in me not being able to find anything for a few weeks.  I have accepted that for at least right now my room will never be one of those dreamy beautiful crafting spaces but by the end of the day I hope it will be a little better organizied and dare I say tidier.  

Remember to leave me a comment or send me an email to have a chance at winning the May tutorials from Craft Project Central.  Check this post for all the details.  We will be picking a winner tonight.  I plan to be back tomorrow with something new to share made in my re-organized craft room!

CPC Gift Card Bouquet & Fun-Fold Card!

I am so glad you stopped by!  I am excited to share with you the project I designed for Craft Project Central this month.

I have been thinking about another way to give a gift of gift cards and this is what I came up with.  Here is the official description of the project.  Do you like to give gift cards but want a fun new way to package and give them?  Here’s something new to try!  How about a gift card bouquet and a matching fun-fold card too!?!  After opening the gift card, your recipient can put the pretty bouquet on their desk to remind them of your gift and brighten up their day!  This is a great project for a teacher, co-worker, or anyone you want to give a little something special to!  This project is a fun class or camp project too!

If you want to make this project all you need to do is go to Craft Project Central and subscribe to the month of May.  In addition to the tutorial for this project you will also receive 9 more!  It is a great deal!  

I am also giving away a subscription to the Craft Project Central tutorials for the month of May!  All you have to do is leave me a comment here on the blog and tell me what your favorite Stampin' Up! stamp set is that is on the Stampin' Up  Retirement list.   If you want, you can also email me your entry just make sure you have Craft Project Central Giveaway in the subject line.  We will do a drawing Monday night at 8 pm (PST) so be sure to enter or you definitely won't win!

Have a wonderfully creative day!

Last Chance to Win!

I am cutting it close but I made it!  It has been one of those days where  there were so many competing interests at work.  I finally got a chance to sit down and craft something.  Do you know what I did?  I went to the Craft Project Central site and used one of the patterns for a project designed for October by Kris.    

Her is Kris' project.

I followed her tutorial for the card box and here is what I made.
Here it is open.

The tutorial saved me a lot of time and figuring and I love how it turned out. You still have time to enter to win the Craft Project Central tutorials for October that I am giving away.    Just go to THIS POST before midnight and leave me a comment and Sunday morning (the 6th) I will draw a name.  

Check back with me tomrrow and I will show you the cards I made to go inside the box! 

 

Grateful Sunflower

It is a gorgeous fall day here with blue skies and sunshine!  Remind me when I start to complain about the rain and the gray that we have had a pretty beautiful fall.   How was your Halloween?  We were busy!  We had maybe a 100  trick or treaters, lots of scary ones and a few cute one too!  I finally turned off the lights at 9.  

Here's what I am feeling  today.

Still loving this big sunflower!  This time I embossed it on Soft Suede cardstock and cut it out.  Lucky for me it is a pretty easy one to cut out.  I started fussing around with spraying Gold Smooch Spritz and other things like that but in the end decided that I would keep it simple. 

Here is something  that I am grateful for,  I have a 1 month pass to Craft Project Central for the month of October to give to someone.   If you look back at my October posts you will see  all the Craft Project Central projects you will have access to if you are the person chosen.  Here's what you have to do.  Leave me a comment on this blog post and tell me what you are grateful for today, easy peasy!   Comments will close at midnight (PST) on Saturday(5th) and  I will randomly pick a winner from those commenting on Sunday (11/6) morning.   

Thanks for stopping by and I will let you in on something, I am working on posting to my blog everyday this month.  Yikes, I said it so now I have to do it!
