I know it has been quite some time since my last post but was extremely happy to participate in the Creative Cuts & More “Cancer Awareness” blog hop. Here’s my contribution
I’ve used the Awareness Ribbon Window Box, Cornish Heritage Farms Background, and PTI “Believe” sentiment. Inside the box contains a lapel pin using Kanzashi folding. If you do a Google search there are several tutorials with printed, pictures and videos – I’m getting really addicted! So on with the hop

Yesterday was April 1st – did any of you get April Fooled? Not me…. It’s no foolin’ – I’m blogging again!!!! YEA!! It feels really good. A brief personal explanation, husband and I filed for divorce last July – finalized end of January 2010… plus throw in a few holidays, lots of stress, some minor health inconveniences, two of my necessary companions Mo and Jo took a vacation from all the craziness – thank goodness they’ve returned and most all things have settled.
I MUST express my thankfulness for a supportive and loving family, friends (and I mean real, true to the bone friends) and work – both my paid job and the design teams I’m so fortunate to participate on. So with that short explanation…. here’s a little fun I’ve been working on getting ready for the weekend.
Card Details: Stamp Set: “Hippity Hoppity” & “Fancy Fringe” (Our Craft Lounge); White pigment ink, colored with COPICS & airbrush system, various Spellbinder’s die cuts, Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder, white satin ribbon, and I can’t for the life of me remember where the white acetate die accents were from…
Wishing you a blessed weekend. I’ll be posting all weekend – see you tomorrow. Enjoy and Create, Lila

Today I get to show a couple of cute little gift boxes I’ve made for some of my co-workers and neighbors…..
Both use “Peek a View” die cut boxes from Creative Cuts & More, decorated with two of my favorite OCL Holiday Releases “Tag You’re It” and “Parka Penguins”. The peek a view box has an acetate middle so the recipient can get a little glimpse of the treats stuffed inside. Both boxes have a white and red theme going on – including the peppermint melt candies stuffed inside. A little coloring with COPICS, some white Flower Soft and “Ice Crystal” Crafty Sparkles glitter really add some dimensionals/pop dots and bling! The second box also uses a couple of border strips using Threading Water border punch. The first box lid and bottom were run through a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Add some satin ribbon and pom-pom ribbon, a couple of glittered snowflakes, and tags attached to the front finish the projects. It’s real easy peasy to access the goodies stuffed inside – just lift/slide up the top….. Fun huh? Keep in mind that the “Tag You’re It” is a year round set – the sentiments range from Holiday Wishes and Seasons Greetings to Happy Birthday, Sealed with Kisses (that will be a fun one for Valentines or just because), playing Tag You’re It, and Celebrate!!!, With Love, Baked with Love. I hope you’ve enjoyed the samples and ideas for using this versatile set. Enjoy and Create, Lila

Today’s project is a little decorated gift box 4X4X1 (2-part die cut from Creative Cuts & More) in a non-traditional Bazzill pink cardstock. The main image and snowflake is from “Parka Penguins” (Our Craft Lounge). A couple of large paper snowflake embellishments, some white Flower Soft and OCL’s “Ice Crystal” Crafty Sparkles, and a “Tag You’re it” (OCL) frame and sentiment finish the project.
Isn’t this just perfect wrap for a small little gift? I love the ease of coloring these images and how so many of the OCL sets coordinate with each other AND the EASY PEASY use of CC&M die cut boxes!!! Enjoy and Create, Lila
