Howdy blog land! Now that the Christmas festivities are over, I'm back to blogging (hopefully regularly). I taught this as a class at Scrapnesia during December and had lots of fun!! Inside this little tin are 6 basic dividers that are used to separate my cards. One tip on the dividers - make sure they are not bulky at all so that they take up as little space as possible!! This was so super simple to make and is an excellent gift idea!! So, the details are pretty simple. Paper is from Core'dination (red solid paper) and My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow Collection (flowered and striped paper). The CARDS word was cut using the Cricut and Ashyln's Alphabet font. This has become one of my favorite fonts!! Then, I also used some bling to accent the word. For the top (which I failed to take a picture of! LOL), I used the reverse side of the flowered paper which was striped (the same paper matting the word). I then added some ribbon around the handle. To hide all my white spac...

I have only altered a handful of items and have just never really felt comfortable in doing so. Then, Evelyn (owner of Scrapnesia ), asked if I wanted to teach a class on altering this cute little gift card holder by Creative Imaginations. So, I said sure, why not? Well, once I got it home, I realized I had absolutely zero time to work on it due to family issues and wasn't really all that excited about stepping "out of my box". So, as the date approached closer and closer to my class, I knew I had to get it together and get creative. So, without further ado, here's what I came up with for the front: and here's what I came up with for the inside: I think it turned out pretty good for someone who's rarely altered anything. The supplies are really very simple: Bazzil Cardstock (Bitter Sweet Chocolate) for the spine, Core'dination C...
