Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

I LOVE my Halloween My Design Mini Album!!      I have broadened my Paper Crafting addiction now to doing Mini Albums... Specifically those designed by Kathy King of Paper Phenomenon !! This woman is an absolute Genius!!      You can find all her amazing Tutorials, Tutorial & Video Combos, Workshops, Kit Clubs, Paper Collections and many more amazing products in her SHOP ! Here is the video of the not quite complete album that I just couldn't wait to share!      I am not going to add all the different DSPs that I used as they are all Halloween DSPs from many years past! I love how, no matter what the colors are, that it totally comes together!      A couple of the DSPs I used that I am not able to add images of are Wicked Fun Specialty DSP and the Cast A Spell DSP. I think I managed to get the rest added to the Product List. I also used some embellishments from last years Frights & Delights Paper P...

     With Halloween coming up soon, I am having a great time making treat boxes and holders! I am all by myself in the house today so I decided to head to my crafting space and play 😉      One of the cute boxes I found on Pinterest and tried my had at making it. The other was a pic I came across somewhere that inspired me to do a cute triangle box. I think both of them are just adorable... don't you!?      The triangle box with the cats can be different sizes depending on how big you want the box to be. I did do a larger box but wasn't pleased with how decorating it turned out so I didn't want to post it. *  The measurement for this one starts with a piece of DSP or CS, whichever you prefer, cut it to 3"x 7", DSP is a tad bit harder to see to score but it can be done 😉 *  With the long side at the top (landscape postion), score in the center all the way down. Then turn it so the short side (portrait positon) is to the top an...

I had a great time making treat holders for Halloween this year! I just love the new Spooky Cat stamp set from the 2017-2018 Holiday Catalog ! Creating all of these treat holders was so much fun! Unfortunately I had to use some retired products but most of you will likely have them so that's ok ;)  If you're like me, you stock up on things! I got the instruction for the test tubes (image 1) on YouTube, video by Wanda Smith ! Putting the link to her video is way easier that trying to type out the instructions.  The colors are Elegant Eggplant & Pumpkin pie Ink & Card Stock and I believe the bat punch is called Bitty Bat and is retired.  The little witch hat (image 3) & the pillow box (image 5) are also videos on YouTube by Julie Davison  and are just awesome! She cut the top off her Pillow Box but I kept mine intact and did the hat to sit right on the corner. I found a lot of my inspiration on Pinterest but everything was with r...

I have been doing strictly Christmas cards with my group since I started just over 3 years ago. I still have a few girls that want to stick to just doing Christmas cards but I have a few that would like to do something else. I decided that after this years summer break, I would try to do a second evening of cards. As long as I can stay on top of things, I think it will be great! I spend a ton of time on Pinterest! I absolutely love all the cards that are on there... It is so easy to get inspired and to even just CAS a card from there. I try to change something when I case a card but it is so hard sometimes as they are so gorgious! I did case these 2 Occasion Cards from Pinterest but I added to the inside of it and made it to give a Gift Card. Sometimes its had to give to the older kids so this is how I thought of doing it this year! See the Original Card from Pinterest            This is also a case.... Surprise! I had to change the "Tha...
