Happy New Year ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday.  I still can't believe it is the end of 2016.  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and has a safe and happy New Year.  Today I am sharing with you the 3D Champagne Glass from JGW New Years Celebration.

This cute glass is about the size of a real wine glass.  I added pearl strands to the seams of my glass.

To give the impression of bubbles in a champagne glass I added gemstones.  

My treats are Pirouline, I just love these chocolates!  Thank you for stopping by today and I'll see you next year :)

Christmas Bear ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for the Holidays!  I know I am.  Today I am sharing my version of a Polar Christmas Bear using the JGW 3D Teddy Bear kit.  I love how he turned out.  I used red glitter ribbon and Christmas buttons.

I also added a cute little hat and scarf that I picked up after Christmas last year.  

I think they finish him off perfectly!

Isn't he a cutie pie?

Don't forget to stop by the SVG Attic store, we have several new Christmas kits out.  I put out a new one called CG Nutcracker Dream.  I think this is one of my favorites!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Birthday Jodi - with Cyndy G.

Today is the birthday of our incredible designer Jodi Warner.  She is the creative force behind SVG Attic and I just love her files.  So when given the chance to say thank you, of course I took it.

I made the Daisy Flourish A6 Banner Card from JGW Beautiful Bloom.  The digital paper I used is Prima, Sun Kissed.  I love the soft colors.

The card went together so quickly.  I just love how it turned out.  You could even use Christmas reds and this would make a beautiful Christmas card.

Christmas Angel ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday crafters!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I took my family on a first time trip to Disney World and we had a wonderful time.  The only problem is, since there was no turkey and no Christmas decorating, I have to keep reminding myself that Christmas is almost here.  To help get me started on some of my Christmas decorating I made the JGW Liberty Angel and converted her into a tree topper.

She goes together pretty easily.  I was afraid to tackle the hair technique Jodi shares in her tutorial, 

so I might have to redo her head trying it out ;)

I just love these angels!  I also made one for breast cancer awareness (with no hair).  To make her fit on the tree I left off the legs and didn't put the bottom on her torso.  It worked perfectly!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, thanks for stopping by.

Holiday Treat Boxes

Wow, I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week.  I hope everyone is ready.  Today I am going to share some very cute little treat boxes from PSD Christmas Character Boxes.  These are so easy to put together that you could let your children make these for their classmates.

That is what I plan to do.

Let your kids pick some cute pattern paper and fill them with some treats.

I just love these little guys.

I think everyone in the class would just love these.  Hope you have a great weekend.

Pumpkin Box ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday.  Wow, I can hardly believe Halloween is behind us and Thanksgiving is just three weeks away!  Today I am sharing the Pumpkin Wedge Box, from JGW Pumpkin Grin,  I made for my Thanksgiving table.  This box looks amazing when it is finished.  I must admit, this one is definitely for the advanced paper crafter.  Just take your time and in the end you will love what you come out with.

I used AC cardstock for the the base and the decorative paper is Adrienne Looman's Family Traditions.  You can get the digital version of this paper at Snap Click Supply Co.

The ribbon I had in my stash of craft supplies.  This is a big pumpkin!  I hope you have enjoyed my project today and if you decide to tackle this project, I would love to see pictures on our facebook page.  Happy crafting :)

Father Christmas ~ with Cyndy G.

Good morning and happy Friday!  Today I wanted to share with you a fun bag and card from the new kit CG Father Christmas.  This is such a fun kit.  There are three cards and two gift bags.

I used the beautiful new Graphic 45 St. Nicholas paper for this project.

This is the smaller gift bag from the kit and it is 6.5" x 8" x 2.  Just perfect for a smaller gift.

This card is my favorite.  Santa checking his list.

There is plenty of room on the back to journal or add stamping.

Thank you for stopping by.

Skeleton in A Cage ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday!  I am sharing some Halloween inspiration with you today.  I had a hard time trying to decide what to do for my project today so I went to the store and started browsing the Halloween section.  I saw a skeleton in a cage and thought "that is what I'm going to make!".  So here he is...

He turned out pretty cute.  I used the Skeleton out of JGW Goul Tide Cheer and 

the cage is from Welcome Spring.

I used the skeleton at it's import size and enlarged the cage as big as I could make it go.  I put some shredded paper in the bottom of the cage to lift the skeleton up a little and tied a string to his hang loop and laced it through the top of the cage.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you will share with us your Halloween decorations made with SVG Attic files!

Off With Her Head ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday!  Today I am going to share with you a super fun project I created using several kits.  Halloween is right around the corner and as you know the Holidays sneak up on us and we don't get the crafting done we have planned, so this year, I'm trying harder to be on top of my Holidays!

I just love how everything turned out.  The paper is Graphic 45 - Halloween in Wonderland.

This crown is from JGW Off to the Ball.  There is an additional piece to the band that I left off to make the crown small - so it is more like one the Queen of Hearts would wear.  I plan on attaching this to a headband so I can wear it. :)

This masquerade mask is from JGW Night Enchantments I have left off the stick for the mask because I don't want it to get bent before Halloween.  I plan on using the mask for Halloween as well.  The rose is in Be Mine and the feathers are from the Mourners Hat in the JGW Raven Quest.

I cut the cards out of the paper.  I just adore this collection!

The high heel shoe is from JGW Fashionably French.

I had so much fun putting all this together.  I hope you enjoyed it!  Happy Crafting!

Under the Sea - with Cyndy G.

I am super excited to share with you today a new kit I created CG Under the Sea!  

The inspiration for this kit was the Graphic 45 collection Beneath the Sea.  

Up first is the Deep Sea Diver Slider Card.  This was my first time making one of these 

and I am definitely going to make more.  They are very fun.  

The elements of the cards are also included as jpg's for those of you who prefer to print and cut.  The card will fit a standard A7 envelope, so it shouldn't cost you too much to mail!  I have friends that still mail cards and I try to design with the cost of postage in mind.

There is also a Sub Box Card.  

This one was so much fun to create.  You can also use an A7 envelope for this card.

Next up is the 4x6 Nautical Box.  

I don't know about you but I just LOVE the Ephemera Cards from Graphic 45.  

So I decided to make a little box that you could make and highlight a 4x6 ephemera card.

There is also a Porthole box.  This cute little box has a porthole shaker attached to the top.

I used decorative paper as the background for the shaker.

Lastly, their is a Cabana Milk Carton Box because you need somewhere to change into your wet suit.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the new kit CG Under the Sea.  

Here is a list of the products I used:

Graphic 45 - Beneath the Sea 12x12 and 6x6 pads

Trendy Twine - Totally White

AC Card Stock

Independence Day Decorations ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday! This week I decided to create some decorations for the fourth of July.  

I made the Star Bunting and American Eagle from JGW American Eagle Wreath.

I love the eagle from this set but wanted it to be free standing so I used the base of the Star Block Stand from JGW Star Spangled 4th and glue my eagle to the front of the support.

I used Authentique Honor Collection - which I Love!  I picked it up at Country Craft Creations, a little independent store on-line.  I bought the album kit that included this super cute 

crinkle red, white and blue crinkle ribbon!

I used Uncle Sam's Hat that is also in the JGW Star Spangled 4th set.  

I put weights in the hat (it is a box) to hold my bunting.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a safe 4th of July!
