Spring Fairy Garden 2018

     I know this isn't even remotely Stampin' Up! or paper craft related but I just love doing them! This is what I have been doing for the last month and a half while I haven't been in my card room. Doing Fairy Gardens can be so addicting! I just love doing them, I'm always looking for the right plants, bowl or container to make one in. I still have the accessories to do 2 more, a beach theme and an under water theme (my daughters) so I'm still not done!
      This is my favorite of the year! I kept it inside so far so that the plants don't get sun burnt as they would be in direct South sun all day! I know they like the sun and heat but I put one out earlier this year and it got really sun burnt and I don't know if it will stay alive or not. I like this one too much to take that chance!

     These 2 smaller photos are just of the 2 different areas of the above photo. Just to show a better picture of the plants I used and the garden accessories.  I had intended to have a little working fountain in the middle but it was just too big for what I wanted. I am very pleased with how it turned out! Let me know what you all think 😊

       I did the small blue pot with my favorites I've kept alive from last years Fairy Gardens and am loving the mythical theme to it! It has the See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Say No Evil Gargoyles in it!  I took a photo before I did up another one with the cute Baby Dragons I found at a local store.
     As you can likely tell, I'm not much for flowers but I sure love my Succulents and greenery! The one with the dragon does have a coleus in the back so it will grow up and they will look like they are in a forest... well... I hope that is what it will look like 😉


Happy Fairy Gardening! 😊
I hope I was able to inspire someone to get the Fairy Garden they have always wanted to do done!

Fancy Fold Card

Image
I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coarse it was in her language and i

Recipe Book Box

Image
      So it seems August is Blog catch up month for me! I get crafting and forget to do the little things that I like to do to keep my fans updated!! My apologies!!  A look at 1 Recipe Page or Insert      This was supposed to be another Cinch Book but it seems I got a little carried away... AGAIN! I made it a few paged too big so it got WAY to chunky to be bound! So... I am going to make a box to house it and a couple extra inserts and recipe cards.       I made 6 pages or inserts now and each one has spots for 26 recipe cards, 4 of which are digitally added with the digital collection I used. The Grandma's Pantry Collection my Nitwit Collections. If you choose to make the project as I did, you will have a recipe box that will hold at least 154 special recipes.       I have a few ideas rolling around in my head for the box part of this project so hopefully I can get at it soon so I can post it. I'm certain I will like how it turns out in the end 😊      I have kept a few spots
