Mariposa Matchbox Easel Card & Handmade Fabric Flowers~

I recently created a matchbox easel card for a very special lady on Youtube. Her name is Kraftykatsy. She's been very ill for sometime and after watching her videos I was inspired to create something special just for her. I will be enclosing some goodies in the drawers~ a few of my handmade flowers, stickpins & charms. I am still in the middle of creating handmade flowers and need to start on the stickpins next. I hope to get it mailed off to her sometime soon. If you would like to learn more about Kraftykatsy you may visit her YouTube channel.

Now onto the pictures of the matchbox easel card & handmade flowers~









P.S. I'm on such a HUGE flower kick right now. They are soooo much fun to make. :)

BABY SHOWER CANDLE FAVORS~

Hello Friends!!!

Just a little update of the candle favors I made for my Sister's Baby shower last month. I wanted to make something a little bit unique compare to the usual Baby Shower favors. This is what I came up with...




I also made a video which includes a how-to tutorial. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for stopping by.

JUST STOPPING BY TO SAY~

Wishing you a day filled with LOVE♥

ALTERED MATCHBOXES~

Yesterday I met up with a few of my girlfriends and we spent the day together. First we stopped over at Mainly Stamping in Fairfield to browse around. I ended up finding some lovely scrapbook papers & Japanese Washi paper. I picked up 2 sheets of the Le Romantique papers from Graphic45. They are absolutely perfect to create a mini for Valentine's day. I am in love with the beautiful washi papers I found as well. They are so lovely with all the floral blossoms. I'll need to find more washi papers as I find them really beautiful papers to craft with.

We also stopped over at Michaels, Joanns, Tuesday Mornings & Dollar Tree stores. While shopping at Michaels we found a bunch of Valentine's spool of ribbons for 50 cents. They were accidentally placed in the wrong spot. The manager ended up giving them to us for that price. I only picked up 1 spool as I bought some last week. I should have definitely picked up a few more. My friend Shirley benefited by getting a bunch.

We ended up having lunch at Subway before we headed back to Iris's house to craft. We made 2 projects and started on our third project (paper bag minis) which we didn't get to finish. I will work on getting it completed soon. We made altered matchboxes and a mini magnetic notepad.

Here's the pics of my altered matchbox.

In addition, I would like to share with you these beautiful altered matchboxes my friend Shirley & Keisha created.
