Dino Mike

Happy Friday!  Today I am sharing the T-Rex 3D Figure from the JGW Dino Dig kit.  This was a special request from my youngest son for his birthday.  So I asked him "What color would you like your dinosaur?"  my son replied "Red and blue."  Really???  These aren't the first colors that come to mind when you think of a dinosaur but I like the finished project.

This file was so fun to make and not to complicated.

Just as you would expect T-Rex was a huge hit.

Mon Amour - with Cyndy G

Hello crafters today I am sharing some more Valentine projects with you.  I made the Rose Bouquet box card from JGW Flower Boxcard Bouquet.  I think these flower box cards are beautiful!

I also made the Flip top heart box from SVG Heart Shaped Box kit.  This little box goes together so quickly.  I think it would be the perfect project to do with your children.  You could make this a small size and make them for the classroom, they are that easy to make!

I used the beautiful Mon Amour paper from Graphic 45.  
I love the way I got the paper to line up on my box card!

I really had fun making these projects.  I hope you will share some of your projects with us.

Sweet Treats ~ with Cyndy G

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve celebration whether it was an evening out with friends or a quiet night at home.  I did the latter.  I enjoy being at home with my family.  Today I am sharing with you a Valentine project.  I know we just celebrated Christmas but with putting all the decorations away and cleaning out the children's closet and drawers to make room for the new, Valentine's day will be here before you know it.

Treat boxes and bag

I used the JGW Sweetest Heart kit with the new Graphic 45 - Mon Amour Collection.

This is the sweetest bag and it is so quick and easy to put together.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have enjoyed my project today.

My First Mini Album - Graphic 45 A Christmas Carol

I have been seeing a lot of handmade mini albums lately.  So I went on a search for some tutorials on how to make them and tried my hand at them for a Christmas present for my Mom and Sister.  After watching a couple of tutorials and enlisting a couple of my friends to make one too, I went to work.

Since they were going to be Christmas presents, I decided to use Graphic 45, A Christmas Carol.

Stocking Card

I wanted to share a couple of projects I made using some SVG Cuts files.  The Stocking card I created using More Christmas Box Cards.  I just love the way the front of this card is designed to look like a cable knit.

I also made the Christmas tree from the Christmas Cafe SVG kit.  What a clever way to give kcups.

Poinsettia Passion ~ Cyndy

Happy Friday crafting friends.  Can you believe Christmas is one week away.  As always I am hurrying to get my cards done.  I decided to share with you today a couple of the cards from the amazing new kit JGW Poinsettia Passion.  I just LOVE this kit.  Everything is so beautiful.

Christmas cards with poinsettias

I love the way this box card looks.  I used the beautiful papers of Maja Design - A Gift For You for this project.  I also used a tag on the front of the box card that I had from MME - Joyous.  
I think it fit this card perfectly.

For the doily card I used a brad from MME - Joyous.  I just love the Santa on the brad.


These cards really deliver the Wow factor.  Thank you for stopping by today.  
I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Christmas Treats ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday, I hope everyone enjoy the Magic of Christmas hop last weekend.  I know I got lots of new ideas.  I hope you were inspired to try one of the projects too.  Today I want to share with you the December Countdown Sacks from JGW Christmas on the Docket.  These are the little bags you would have seen on Jodi's blog.

A friend sent me a message and asked me to make some treat bags for him and I knew when I saw these that they would be perfect.  They go together very quickly and you can make all look so different.  I just love the paper in the DCWV Hand-Painted Christmas Stack.

I took the tree from the O Christmas Tree kit.
