Pins To Creations Design Team Day-Caddy

Hi everyone!  Did you have a great weekend? 

I'm here today with a post for Pins To Creations! 

Did you have a chance to check out our blog hop from yesterday?!  If you didn't, click here and get your hop on.  Everyone had such amazing creations.

I have today a caddy I created using a shoebox and toilet paper rolls.  I don't have many copics and spica pens so I thought this would be perfect.

Here is the link for the inspiration and below is the picture of the inspiration....

Here is my caddy....

I was so happy with the shoe box pattern that I decided not to wrap it with paper.

Thank you for visiting!  Have a great day and don't forget to check out the Pins To Creations Blog!

Pins To Creations Design Team Winter/Christmas/Hanukkah Blog Hop

Hi everyone!  Welcome to my blog and the Pins To Creations Design Team Winter/Christmas/Hanukkah Blog Hop!

Today the amazing Pins To Creations Design Team is showcasing Pinterest inspired creations Winter, Christmas and Hanukkah style!

If you are just coming from Esther's Blog, you are right on track.  If you just came across my blog and would like to hop along, please start at the beginning at the Pins To Creations Blog!

So I've been pinning like crazy for the holiday.  I was pretty focused on finding a different way to package/wrap gifts.  I came across this pin that was using kraft paper and parchment paper.  They also shared a way to use the front on old Christmas cards.  Click here to be taken to the original pin.  Here is the picture....

So here is my creation....

So as usual I took my own take to the inspiration.  I used freezer paper instead.  Because it's been eons since I've seen a store bought card I decided to use a piece of pattern paper from Martha Stewart's Snowflace that I knew I would never use.  I also used a Snow Marker, Jaded Blossom Christmas Wishes, Berry Red twine from Trendy Twine and a White Gel Pen.

It's a picture frame that I had wrapped up.  I am loving all the unique packaging they have around Pinterest.

There are some awesome prizes being given away so be sure to check out the Pins To Creations Blog!

I am giving away a $10 gift certificate to Designs On Cloud 9 here on my blog!

To win:

1.  Leave a comment on this blog post

2.  Leave a way for me to reach you

I will announce the winner on Monday, December 31st.

Happy Birthday Card

Hi everyone!  Happy Thursday.  Did you all have a great Thanksgiving?!  I know it was a week ago but I haven't posted since last week.  Playing a bit of catch up and getting some scheduled blog posts ready :)

Yesterday was my dad's birthday so I wanted to share a card that I made for him.  A masculine card is never easy...at least to me it's not.  My dad loves sports and cooking and he owns his own catering company so creating cards for him actually isn't all that terrible.  I am so happy how this card turned out, he loved too.
