Christmas Candy Holders

Hello Everyone!

Hope your all having a great week, Its FRIDAY!!!

Well I just wanted to share a quick post of a project I made last night for some of my friends. While I was living in Okinawa, Japan I attended lots of Party Lite parties with some of my girlfriends. I swear I had a party to attend every weekend... I had Tupperware, Party Lite, scrapbooking, Spice it up parties ect... EVERY WEEKEND! LOL Wasn't too good for my hubbys wallet. =)

Anyway's I have lots of candles from Party Lite and once they are burnt out I always keep the glass bowls thinking "oh I can do something with this"... well I never got around to it till now. I had 4 of the same glass candle holders... Well I have lots of them but they are not burnt out yet.

Here is how they come new...

Here is one of them with out the candle

I didn't want to go out and buy Crinkle Paper so I made my own.

I used two sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 and cut them down to 1/4 of an inch

I ran them thru my paper crimper

Then I cut them in half

I made 4 piles and made them in to a ball

Then I spread the paper inside the glass

This is the paper I used to decorate the outside of the glass. I will list all the supplies under each finished Candy glass bowl.

Here are pics of the candy glass bowls all decorated ready for the candy!

Yummy CANDY!! =)

Cards & Gift Card Stocking.

Hey Everyone,

    Hope you all are having a great creative week! Here are some projects that I worked on this past weekend and week. I'm still working on a couple more but I just wanted to post the projects that I have already finish. Here it goes...

A couple of years ago I got this card kit for free with my CTMH order, I never got around to make them till now. The card kit is called "Just Because". The Kit came with pattern paper, blank cards, envelopes, 1 stamp set, ribbon, and adhesive sparkles & 2 small inks. With this card set you can make 16 cards, 2 each of the same designs.



These cards are the same designs I just used the opposite side of the pattern paper.

Here is another card kit from CTMH. I think this card kit is about a year older then the "Just Because" kit. I found this one on E-bay for a great price.

This card Kit is called "From Me to You". The Kit came with pattern paper, blank cards, envelopes, 1 stamp set, ribbon, and adhesive sparkles, sand paper, brads & 3 small inks. With this card set you can make 16 cards, 2 each of the same designs. I just made one of the sets.

I LOVE the colors of this card kit.

I know, I know... Its not even close to Christmas but Im always @ the last minute trying to find something nice to put gift cards in, and well I made some of these gift card stocking last year I thought I would make more of them for this year.
