Decorate To Celebrate #107 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!!!

Welcome to another Anything Goes challenge over at

In honor of school starting today,
I decided to create a Milk Carton Treat Box.

I loved school lunch just for
chocolate milk in the little cartons :)

My project:
I cut this box out of TBBM2.
If you don't have this cartridge and are planning on
buying it, my advice to you is to buy the scoring blade
along with it.
IT WILL SAVE YOU!!!

Anyway, my paper is from American Crafts
and the metal flower embellishment is from Freckled Fawn.
I cut the tag out of Once Upon A Princess and stamped
it with a Craftin' Desert Divas sentiment.

It is all ready to be filled with sweet treats :)

I hope you will join us over at Decorate To Celebrate!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Thank you so much for your generosity!!

Here is my project:

My sister's birthday was yesterday and I
ordered her some fun eyeshadows from Younique.

Anyway, I wanted to package it super fun
so I created a present tag from TBB&M2
and a sentiment tag from Art Philosophy.

Purple is her favorite color,
so I found some fun purple glitter paper from The Paper Studio
and fancy pattern paper from DCWV.

Added some purple tulle and whalla!

Close up of the present tag

The sentiment tag is stamped with one of Tara's
Say It Big stamps "Happy Birthday".

Another view.

Die Cuttin' Divas - Guest Designer!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

WOW!!! I am so excited to be a Guest Designer
over at Die Cuttin' Divas!!!
I have been following this blog for so long
it's quite the honor to be guest designing
alongside this Design Team!
So THANK YOU for giving me this opportunity!!!


The theme for the week is
Anything Goes!

Here is my project:


I decided to make a Birthday Card, because
really you can never have too many of those on hand!!!

I LOVE this gift image from the Cricut Sweethearts cartridge
so I decided to use it for my card.
My paper comes from Fancy Pants "Park Bench"
6x6 paper pack I picked up at Hobby Lobby.

I used the Paper Studio's Curl Ribbon Embossing Folder
for my blue mat and George for the circle/shadow.

The enamel dots are from Recollections.
My sentiments are from Craftin' Desert Divas
and CardzTV.

I hope that you will join in over at Die Cuttin' Divas
for this week's challenge!!!

Here is a video of how this card came together:
