Cupcake Box and Lawn Fawn Yeti

It was my friend's birthday yesterday to I pulled out my trusty Silhouette and downloaded a cut file for a cupcake box.. 8.5x11 cupcake box This one was super easy to cut and put together. I love the shaped of it and that it holds the cupcake securely. 

Here's the fun little card that went with the treat.

She really is a rare find. So talented and giving.

I used the cut outs to stamp her name and put a label on the top of the box. You could add acetate to the window as a final touch.

I would just suggest to be careful when gluing together that you check to make sure it's not so "tight" that it doesn't close properly.

Have a crafty day!

Families Are Forever Scrapbook Steals Daisy #2

I haven't done a Mid Week Mojo in what feels like forever. 

This is taken from their Daisy #2 Sketch

However, I had a visit from a dear friend last week who so lovingly showed me the scrapbook that she made for her daughter who lives in heaven now and it made me realize that I really need to do something for Isaiah. I need to do it for me and for my children so that they can have something to look through that is all about him and them and this special time in our lives. That's what this hobby is for, isn't it. I know I won't share every page I make here, on the blog, some are just too tender. But, I'm getting better at handling this thing we call grief and this is okay for me now.

So, I printed out one of the pictures that the nurses took at the hospital and used my Silhouette to cut out the title. I love how it wraps around the picture. I used a piece of my architectural trace paper that I actually cut from the edge of one of my college drawings and pleated it, sewed it and adhered it to the page. SRM stickers and some washi along with basic grey flare and adhesive cork finish it off.

I hope you find scrapbooking as therapeutic as I do and that it gives you as much joy as it does me.

Have a great week.

Sending Smiles Across The Miles

I used my Silhouette Sketch Pens to draw out the states and the sentiment. Have I told you lately how much I love my Silhouette?!?!?! I have such a super sweet friend that lives in Oklahoma and I wanted to send her a little lovin'. The hearts are placed roughly in our city locations.

I hope you are have a great day!
