The Cutting Cafe ~ Kleenex Box

Howdy Crafters - Oh I like this project ~ with these wonderful cuts from the Cutting Cafe you can customize a Kleenex box for every room in your house ~ or for those special Holidays - and how about a Tissue Box Cover [include the Tissues too] as a special gift at any time - Wedding, Get Well, Birthday - the ideas are endless. And what is cool - since it is a cover, it can be used over and over again for that special Holiday or Season- so why not make one for every season - just add your store-bought tissue box inside and display in your home
 I decided to create a Christmas Tissue Box Cover  ~ Click  HERE - for a direct link to this fabulous cut. You know you want one! :)

Snowman Quick and Easy Project

Isn't this the cutest thing. 

A couple years ago, my gift to my family members was a roll of toilet paper with machine embroidered snowmen sewn on the tissue by me.

This year it will be this crafty snowman with the tag which I lifted from Maric and Rhonda Sue.

Today's blog Post is dedicated to my dad who passed away in 1980 at the age of 52. Today is my dad's Birth Date - November 26th.

My dad was a wonderful husband, father of 7 children and dedicated supporter  of the home. He worked at General Motors [Buick] for 32 years. He died in his sleep 3 shorts month after his retirement. 

Dad taught me the song "What A Friend We have in Jesus."  I miss my daddy very much.  Happy Birthday Dad! We love and miss you so much!

Luminare Coffee Cup

Coffee Cup becomes a Luminare

Hi Scrappers. Well, hubby had a meeting with our son Ben tonight - so I get to do some more crafting - Did I say I was doing the Happy Dance?  LOL. Here is my first ever Luminare Project. I got the idea from Speedy TV Tutorial. I will be making some more projects like this tonight. I am looking for my vellum to try that out as well. My pictures are not the greatest. Any tips on taking pictures when a light is on inside a project? My picture is a bit blurry but the light is shown shinning. (picture on right side).Thanks for stopping by! ~ Gail

With the light on 

RECIPE
One Tim Horton's Decorative Coffee Cup
Digital Wording Stamp - Take Time to Chase the Snowflakes by TLC
Snowflake punch by Friskers
Cutterbee retractable knife to cut holes in the cup
Spectrum Noir Marker to color around the holes so white cardboard is not showing.
Blue Hawaiian Ink by PowerPuff for distressing the sentiment 
Mini Tea Light with battery - I stray away from burning candles with projects like these.
I put the lid back on the coffee cup but it can be left off as well
