A Card for Emily

If your looking for the Valentine Tag Blog Hop, please click here. 

A few days ago, I read one of the most devastating things on facebook. A seven year old little girl whom was battling Leukemia. This broke my heart and as you can imagine, hit close to home.

As I am battling Leukemia also and know the suffering and pain that it comes with, I cannot help but to think how brave she is to fight. The crafting community has come together and ask that everyone make her a card if her story touched your heart. I was absolutely thrilled to make her a card, not only did I make her one and sent it, I also made her a bookmark, which she can use to read her favorite book.

Emily is in my prayers as well as her family and she will beat this, she is a strong little girl! Praying for you Em!

Hope you all enjoy the card I sent her and if you wish to send her cards or anything to make her smile please do so to the following address:

Emily Ziemathis
5134 Berger Dr. SE
Lacey, WA 98513

Please check out her story

Pattie's Creations Challenge #37 DT Project

If your looking for the Valentine Tag Blog Hop, please click here.

Hey crafty addicts...

It's challenge time again with Pattie's Creations. This weeks challenge theme is Valentine. Isn't that sweet? For all those who love the pinks, reds, roses, romance and all the sweet things that come with this loving holiday then you have come to the right place. We would love to see what you come up with for this challenge. Our ladies have shown lots of different inspirations and you can check them all out on Pattie's Creations.

Come join us in on the fun and show us what you can create. You never know what might inspire you.

As for my project, I decided to use Pattie's Love Postage Stamps and chose one of the three from the set. I chose this one because often we get so busy in our schedules that we forget how important it is to show those whom we love how we feel. A time for love, explains that and just that, any moment is a great one to tell someone how great they are and how much you love them. What can I say I am a hopeless romantic..haha!

Anyways, enjoy the projects and we hope to see you over at our Valentine theme Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by...

XoXo,

Mb's Treasurista Creative Challenge DT Project

Hi all my crafty addicts,



MBT is having a Creative Challenge on their blog for Valentine's Day. There will be an awesome prize for the winner of this challenge. As most challenges out there you usually have to create a project or card within that particular theme. Well, with this challenge we decided to throw you all a bit of a curve ball. Yup, that's right a curve ball. Although, the theme is Valentine's Day, you are not allowed to use an RED or PINK in any of your project.

At first, when I thought of this I was like wow this is going to be difficult. What other colors can you combine to portray that Valentine theme of Love/Romance/Passion. Well It was ton of fun and I came up with an alternative color for V-day. This is one of my favorite project that I have made for MBT thus far and really enjoyed doing this. I hope that you enjoy the inspiration and come play with us at MB's Treasurista.

Here are several photos of my project. Enjoy!!!

MB's Treasurista February Exclusive DT Project

Hi all my crafty addicts...

For those of you just joining in, every month I get to design a really cool project for MB's Treasurista. Last month I designed a whole new idea I hadn't seen anywhere else (not saying it hasn't been thought of) and it was a great success.

For that post just click here.

This month, being the month of February I wanted to do something a bit more nonconventional to the whole Red, White, and Pink scene. I came up with this bolsa box that I altered and it still portrays that warmth and love feeling that comes with February. Hope you all enjoy it!!!



Recipe: 
Bolsa Box from Michaels
Paper from my stash
Flower Button from my stash
Wild Orchid Craft Roses
Mini Leaves from my stash
Mini Clear Acrylic Flowers from MB's Treasurista
White Butterfly from MB's Treasurista
Adore Ticket and Tim Holtz Memo Pin
Pearl Recollections Bling
Beige Chines Trim from MB's Treasurista
Vintage Satin Pink Eyelet Lace from MB's Treasurista
Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink
CraftsMart Paint in Coral

Hope you all enjoy my February DT Project for MB's Treausrista!!!
