Purse and Binder Charms

I have been having so much fun making these purse (chunky charms) and binder charms.  I had made the one for my binder earlier but while watching youtube I came across the purse charms or chunky charms and had to make them.  So I pulled out my beads, some old jewelry and got to work.  I had so much fun making them that I decided to make two as Christmas gifts.  I hope to soon do a video and share how I made them.

Holiday Binders

I wanted to share with you my new Thanksgiving Organizer Binder.  I have used one for Christmas for the past 2 years and just love it.  So this year for Thanksgiving I made myself a note of what I wanted to do and when.  Boy did that work, I was so thrilled with how smoothly everything ran that day.  So off to Pinterest to see if there was anything out their, and there was plenty.  I just picked out things I thought would work for me and made up the rest.  I used a composition book covered with scrapbook paper on my cover, I made up the dividers on "MS Word" and a free image of the internet.  The tabs are just a 2x2 piece of cardstock folded in half, rounded the corners and used my label maker.  The paper that I used on the cover was so decorative that I only added a couple 3D embellishments.  Now I am off to transfer my worksheet to my new book.

My New Wax Melter and Wax

I wanted to share with you my latest obsession, WAX, lol. I got my first wax melter a year ago and didn't use it very much.  But I moved the melter from my craft desk a few months ago to my computer desk and have been  using it everyday since.  I love most of the scents but I live in a house of men and they are not thrilled with it.  Little do they know that I bought them melters for their rooms for Christmas.  Plus my husband has a problem with too spicey scents.  So I just have to pick carefully.  If I buy one that is too strong I add some Vanilla to it to tone it down.  I have even started making some of my own tarts.  It is really not very hard and does not take much time.  It's a lot of fun learning new crafts.

Project Life Week 40 - 43

I wanted to share my latest Project Life pages.  I am playing catch-up, so I decided to print out all my pics and place them in my book in the proper order.  Then I worked from the back to the front (because it was all fresh in my head) and get my pages done.  I was able to finish these four week in a weekend.  I have been having a ball finishing all these pages.  So now off to work on more pages.

2013 Easy Christmas #4

This is my card #4 in my mini series for my "2013 Easy Christmas Cards".  This card can be used as a regular greeting card or it can be easily made into a money or gift card.  This is a small regular A2 size card, using your base card of 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4.  The outside of the card is very easy to make using a piece of paper the is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2, two pieces of ribbon, a bow and a small scrap of paper to make a tag.

Outside:

The inside is a piece of paper that is 2 1/2 X 5 1/2.  I used a 1" circle punch to cut the notch out of the top of this piece.  Use wet glue to attach this section to the inside of the card.

Inside:

I hope that you enjoy this card and find it useful.
