Decorate To Celebrate #107 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!!!

Welcome to another Anything Goes challenge over at

Decorate To Celebrate!

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!

BBTB2 - Birthday Cake

Happy Monday!

Another start to another week :)

And this week over at BBTB2 we have a delicious

challenge for you!

We want to see Birthday Cakes on your projects!

I used Sweet Treats for this fun cake and used

different scraps from my stash to piece together

the background.

I added a few glitter stones and called it fabulous!

I am still trying to balance everything in my life,

so if my posts seem a little off, that is why.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!

Carta Bella Cowgirl Paper for this card.

Decorate To Celebrate - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!!!

Welcome to another Anything Goes challenge over at

Decorate To Celebrate!

Today I am sharing with you something I made for my desk.

I recently started working again, 

and I am trying to personalize my little work space/desk area

with pics and some decor.

Well, I had an idea to upcycle the container

my shampoo and condition came in,

because I really liked the shape of it.

Before

After

So I found some awesome paper that is TOTALLY me

and wrapped it around the container. I had to trace and cut just a little,

but it was super fast and easy.

I then reinforced the sides with a strip of cardstock and added

a strip at the bottom to match.

The stickers were in my stash, but I thought they all went

together so well.

I am excited to bring this to work and start using it.

I think at this point it is going to hold paper clips,

LOTS and LOTS of paper clips :)

Some more pics:

BBTB2 - Life's A Beach

So I am still trying to figure out how to balance family, work and crafting...it's crazy!!!!

I started back to work a few weeks ago and it is crazy to juggle everything!

Luckily, I was able to get a project done this week for the challenge over at BBTB2...Down by the Sea.

I pulled out my Pack Your Bags cartridge and found this awesome cut. My kids and I have been going to a little beach reservoir close to us and they have spent a lot of time building sand castles. So I thought this would be perfect to use.

I love the water paper for projects like this. It came in a pack from ColorBok at Wal-Mart. I tore some craft/tan paper to give a more textured, sandy look for the beach. I topped off the card with embossed clouds on sky blue cardstock.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!

Something To Celebrate cartridge lately :)

Here is another fun cut from that cart - a trophy!

I thought this would be a great image to use

for this challenge and incorporate a "#1".

The mat is from Art Philosophy.

All my papers were just from my scrap stash.

I hope you will join us for this challenge!
