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!

Christmas (Domino) Ornaments

Decorate with these simple Domino Ornaments! They are very easy! All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino! Some of the images are not Stampin' Up! but most of them are. The sets from Stampin' Up! are Best of Snow & Polar Party so far. I also used some Stickles for the snow and glitter on some images.  

Fancy Fold Card

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 coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
