It's Almost Here

Friday, yep it's almost here.  Work has been a little stressful these days, so I'm really looking forward to my weekend OFF!!  I'm ready to do some gardening and working on  my flower beds.  I'm ready for some COLOR!  I'm so tired of looking at all the dead brown colors.   That's what I really want to do, it's the plan, but we all know plans don't all work out!  Hoping it will this time!

Another thing I would like to do is to work on some crafting projects.  And in case you would like to do the same, I'm sharing some projects I've worked on this past week. 

Here they are, these cute little boxes that I made with my Silhouette Cameo and this adorable new kit in the Hello Collection Series....Hello Giggles from Peppermint Creative.

 

I love making gift boxes and with Graduation quickly approaching, I thought this would be perfect.

 

 

 

Aren't these papers from Peppermint Creative soooo stinkin' cute!?!  I absolutely love all the colors....so bright and cheery!!

 

 Here is a close up of the flower that I purchased from the Silhouette on-line store.  I used the color picker in Silhouette Studio Designer Edition to make sure the color matched exactly to the paper. 

 

 

The color picker is on the right side of your page.  You can pick a color out of the pallet or if you want the shade to really match, you can pick a color from your project you are working on.

 

 

 

To pick a color from your project, just click on the picker on the right and hover over the color you want from the project you are working on. 

 

 

 

Here is another made with the papers from the Hello: Giggles series!  These would be perfect for "Thank You's" at a wedding, bridal showers, birthdays and more.  I have a wedding invite in the making (one of my plans for this weekend)  I'll have pictures posted soon (If my plans don't fall through).

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a GREAT and WONDERFUL weekend!!

 

 

 

April showers bring May flowers..........

......I sure hope so.  I am so ready for spring weather and to see green and colors.  Everything around here is dead.  It's kinda depressing.  We did get some well needed rain today and it suppose to rain for two more days.  This will make the farmers very happy.

Okay so on to the fun stuff.  I have just finished the project for this weeks challenge.  Mrs. Regina at The Cutting Cafe' has been adding to the collection a couple of times a week.  So if you haven't stopped by lately, you really need to stop by.  This week we got to choose from one of the following sets:

 

TALL PRESENT SHAPED CARD TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE 

TALL FLOWERS SHAPED CARD SET...TEMPLATES - CUTTING FILE 

TALL CAKE SHAPED CARD TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE 

TALL ICE CREAM SHAPED CARD TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE

 

All the files above will fit nicely in the STRING AND BUTTON ENVELOPE.

 

I chose the Tall flower shaped card set.  Hope you enjoy it.

 

I used my Silhouette Cameo and imported the files into SS.  From there I did a print and cut.  Very easy to assemble!!!  Also the smaller picture above is a punched flower and a brad.  There are many ways that you can do this. Mrs. Regina has a quick tutorial here on how to do the envelope.

 

 Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.  It's a new day and new beginnings. 

Stop by The Cutting cafe's Blog tomorrow to see all the other fun projects the design team has made.
