Nugget Box

I made this great Nugget Box for a "Anything but a Card" swap. I got some great projects back which I will be posting soon.

Yet, another Nugget Box

I was on to bring a Make and Take project to the monthly Inkett Meeting in January. I went with this criss cross box. I found the pattern online and it was very easy to score and cut. I saw a card on another blog that used the rock and roll technique on the scallop from the Sale-a-bration set and really liked the accent with the "One of a Kind" Set and coordinating Boho Blossom punch so I decided this would be a worthy project. I love this color combination it is Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal and Tempting Turquoise. I used the DSP to cover more of those Hershey Nuggets and put them in a medium cello bag.

Is it Valentine's Day Yet?

These are the baskets of goodies for Jackson's, Dylan's and Madeleine's class for Valentine's Day. I am glad they are finished. Jackson and Dylan still have to sign their store bought Valentine's but I am at least one step closer with the goodies.








This is the Valentine goody for Jackson's class. I took help where I could get it. I feel like Sandra Lee from the Food Network. This is a semi-homemade Valentine. I got these cute take-out boxes at the Christmas Tree Shop (they were a deal 4 for $1.29). I filled them with pre-packaged conversation hearts and hershey chocolate, closed them up, then stamped a tag and tied it on with ribbon, Viola! This year having three classes to create for has been overwhelming so I have embraced the "take help where you can get it" way of thinking!








This is the goody for Dylan's class, I made 24 of these stinkin' cute cello bags with topper. The mouse with the heart and the saying come from the "A Happy Heart" stamp set. I punched him out with the tag punch. The flower comes from the "One of a Kind" stamp set and I punched it out with the boho blossom punch. Not all the flowers are the same, the punch and stamp are for three different flowers, I used them all. I can't see the first graders getting worked up because their flowers were different. I filled the cello bags with the prepackaged conversation hearts, they just scream VALENTINE, but I had to add chocolate too, it is behind the hearts but it is there!








I made these boxes for Madeleine's class. I made 14 of these boxes that hold a box of conversation hearts and her Tinkerbell Valentine. I love the rock and roll technique on the big scallop flower. I think it is my new favorite. You will be seeing a lot of that in the future, it is a good go to WOW. This is a knock off of the box I did as a Make and Take at the Inkett Meeting in January.

What can you do with the Rub Ons?

This little jar was fifty cents at the Christmas Tree Shop. I used the rub on's from Sale-a-bration for the white flower and the "for you" sentiment. I Mod Podged the top with Cutie Pie DSP and wrapped those wonderful nuggets from Hershey's with more Cutie Pie DSP. I lost my bashful blue grosgrain somewhere in my stamp studio (it did eventually surface) so I used white grosgrain and the new stripped wasabi ribbon to finish it off. I was just playing with the new rub ons and this is how it turned it out!

Another Nugget Box

Another Nugget Box, using the Bali Breeze paper, Embrace Life Stamp Set and Hershey Nuggets! I love this color combo.

Valentine Class Cards

These are the five Valentine Projects that are part of my Valentine Class tomorrow night. I really am pleased with the way they all came out.

I really feel there is a nice variety to the projects. I like the eastern elegance of the nugget box, the shabby chic French Valentine, the funny elephant Valentine plus the traditional red and white heart Valentine.
