Silver & Gold- Monday Montage Blog Hop 31






        Hello there and welcome back for the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop.  You should have arrived here from the amazing Cathy Casey's blog.  If not and I'm your first stop- no worries! Simply use the back/next buttons at the bottom of this post to navigate your way around the hop.

Thanks to my super fabulous upline Becky Roberts, today I have a super cute favor box to share.  It's made from the French Fry box die and is super easy to create!  I'm thinking that I'll be creating a bunch of these in the near future as co-worker gifts!  These can be fully created in right around 10 minutes.  I have filled my little favor box with some Ghirardelli Mini's in my favorite flavors (of course!)!



Here is the side view:


As you can see from the picture- even though this box is small-it still holds quite a few treats!  What a fun little treat!  I can't wait to share them at my office!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hopefully I'm not your last stop and that you'll click the next button to head on over to see what the wonderful Dara Gloden has to share.

Think Pink!






        Hello there and welcome back for the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop.  You should have arrived here from the amazing Cathy Casey's blog.  If not and I'm your first stop- no worries! Simply use the back/next buttons at the bottom of this post to navigate your way around the hop.

This past weekend a friend of mine asked me if I would help her make some cute little Curvy Keepsake boxes for a friend of ours who has Breast Cancer.  Since the 3 of us do craft shows together- we decided to make a bunch of these and surprise our friend!  She loves anything pink and I'm sure she will absolutely adore these cute little boxes.  Now- this is not our original idea- and I'm not exactly sure who the idea belongs to as my friend said she saw them on Pinterest but didn't write down who created them.  So if it's your design- let me know and I'm happy to give credit.


Here is the side view:

The tag was created using 1/4" Melon Mambo Cotton Ribbon, the Note Tag punch and the Good Greetings stamp set.  I think they are adorable!

White Christmas

Hello there!
 I know I've said it a ton of times but I absolutely adore this year's Holiday Catalog.  There are so many beautiful stamps and products available.  There truly is something for everyone!  YES...even if you're picky like me!
My card tonight is a beautiful card that was created using the White Christmas stamp set. I love the adorable little Christmas Tree stamp for the top of the car.  I'm allergic to pine so unfortunately we don't get to have a real tree during the holidays.  I'll just have to settle for this adorable little stamp!


Did you participate in World Card Making Day?  Lucky for me I was able to find time to make some cards after my craft show!  Speaking of craft shows- the next one you can find me at will be at St. Mary's Church in Monroe, MI on Saturday 10/18/14.  There will be LOTS of gift ideas, cards, packaging and much much more!  Hope to see you there!

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Crumb Cake
Stamps:  White Christmas, Good Greetings
Inks:  White Craft Ink, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black
Tools/other supplies:  Sponge Dauber, Paper Snips, Cherry Cobbler 1" Sheer Linen Ribbon
