Cupcake Biscuit Box ~ with Cyndy

Happy Friday everyone.  I missed you last week but I hope you enjoyed Lisa's tribute to our Hero's.  If you missed her blog post here is the link The End of The Journey of Seventy Boots with Lisa, it is a wonderful story.

Today I decided to the cupcake biscuit box from JGW Take the Cake.  It is such a cute box I just LOVE it.

I used Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate Collection and it looks just beautiful!

I decided not to glue down my candle so I could use the box by itself if I decide to, either way it works perfectly.  Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a crafty weekend.

Travel case ~ with Cyndy

Hello, happy Friday!  Here in the South we are starting to see spring in full bloom and everything looks beautiful!  We have had a few cold days but we know the warm weather is right around the corner and you can see it everywhere you look.

All this warm weather gets me thinking about taking a vacation!  One of our favorite places to visit is Charleston, SC.  It has beautiful Southern Charm.  So this brings me to today's project.  I decided to make the round travel case from JGW Fashionably French.  This is a favorite of mine.

I used Authentique Classique Beauty and it is beautiful!

One of the things that makes this a favorite of mine is all the little detail.  The brads or eyelets around the edge of the lid, down to the little "feet" on the case.  It also a nice size so you can use it as a gift box and it's not too hard to put together.  It has straight edges.  This gives you more guidance than a circle (I think).  If you haven't tried this one, you should I think you will like it as much as I do.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  Thank you for stopping by.

Disney Autograph Book ~ with Cyndy G

I'm here today to share with you a autograph book I created to take on a magical Disney trip.  No, I'm not the one going but one lucky winner and their family from our school fundraiser will be going and they will have this cute little autograph book to collect some memories.

Disney word autograph book

I used the SDS Nested Alphabet.   This set can be used for so many different things!

For more stability I glued the last page of the book to chip board.  I would also recommend doing that with the first page as well, I wish I had done that with mine.

Thank you for stopping by today to see my project.  To all my Christian friends, I hope you have a Happy Easter.  See you soon.

Ice Princess ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday everyone!  Today I am sharing the beautiful JGW Renaissance Castle with a Frozen twist.  We do an auction fund raiser for our school and this year a new business My Pretty Princess Party graciously donated two party packages.  After seeing Jodi's version of this castle I decided that I would make a Princess centerpiece to go with the auction package.

They asked that I do the castle in a Frozen theme.  I love how it turned out.  I replace the hearts with snowflakes and added some Jolee's snowflake stickers.

There is so much attention to detail with this project.

This is a very sizable castle and it is going to make a spectacular centerpiece.  
Hope you have a wonderfully crafty weekend.

Spring is in the Air ~ with Cyndy

I know some of you are still getting snow but here in the South, the flowers are starting to bloom!  Today I decided to share a spring project and with Easter right around the corner - it's very early this year - it's time to start thinking spring.


The egg is the pineapple out of the JGW Tropical Haven kit.  I hinged the top with one of the decorative panels.  Instead of gluing the tab over the top of the egg, I glued it to the lid. The paper on the egg is from Graphic 45, Once Upon a Spring Time.  This is one of my favorite stacks!


The bird is from the SDS Home Tweet Home kit.  He is a little box.  I shrunk mine down to 2" so he would fit in the egg.  I just love how he turned out.  Thank you for stopping by today.

St. Patrick's Day Treats ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday everyone.  For those of you in the thick of all this bad weather and those that are lucky enough not to be, I have a very quick and easy project for you today.  It is the Leprechaun Handle Tote from JGW Leprechaun Chase kit.

St Patrick's day treat bags

I used papers from Doodle Bug.  They are so cute on these bags.  
I know the kids are going to love these

I changed out the Leprechaun for the pot of gold on my bag with the rainbow paper.


I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day this Sunday.  Happy crafting!

Cyndy G.
