I'm in love...

with rikrak ribbons! I made a card using white rikrak and it just made the card look so much more romantic. Can't post it just yet as I've entered it in a contest and I hope I win! I'll be shopping for some more rikrak ribbon today!

Don't forget to vote! (upper right corner)

A poll and a craft project

I have so many ideas on what to make but I'm having a hard time choosing the first one! Please see the poll on the upper right corner and vote for my next project! Poll will be closed on Wed, May 28. Thanks for your help!

Here's a recipe box I made some time ago for the recipes I get from supermarkets, magazines, and the product box itself. i forgot to take a picture of the inside though. I made dividers using a tab punch.

Craft Rut

I've been stuck in a craft rut. Haven't created anything in awhile other than for baked goods. I think I need to concentrate on crafting than baking.

Here's a sample candy container I made for some Hershey's Bliss chocolates. I found a tutorial for this. It can only fit three pieces though so I might nix the idea and just put them in a little goody bag. You can also see how messy my craft desk is here!

Eclectic Thank You cards

I made these cards for a coworker who didn't want to send thank you cards that were too feminine. I call them Eclectic because they have so many different elements to the cards: circles, waves, lines, and flourishes.

Thanks card

I made this Thanks card for a coworker. She wanted a note card that was blue or green so I used both colors. Used my new Versamark ink with my new flourish stamp set.

Bunnies!

Listed these cute little bunnies today. I hand cut them. I had some pretty sore fingers afterwards! I used matching floss and left them untied so the buyer can tie it anyway they want.

It might be a bit close to Easter for me to list these but they're great for Spring too!

I now have 15 items listed. I guess I should stop for now until I get a sale.

Cupcake Card

Recently I've been obsessed with cupcakes, not just eating or baking them but anything that has a cupcake image on it. I listed this Thanks Cupcake Card yesterday:

I used a copper-colored wire for the stem of the cherry. It was a lot of fun making it. I've come up with other designs but they're all currently housed in my head. Perhaps I will take this weekend to actually make them.

Here's a picture of my real edible cupcakes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/journeyoflovedesigns/2258602250/
