Estoy vendiendo este mini álbum de 25 dólares por lo que, si desea comprarlo solament deje un comentaro. Anywho, aquí están algunas de las fotografías que tengo también en mi Facebook. También tengo un vídeo en mi canal de YouTube. No dejen de visitarnos.

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Holla!

So I finally got done with my new year project! It's been a busy Holiday and I just now finished the mini! LOL! Aye, I'm such a procrastinator! For my project I decided to go with one of a Mexican New Years tradition...12 grapes 12 wishes.  What you are supposed to do eat 12 grapes and for each grape you make a wish.  It was a VERY fun project to work on and a very simple one that anyone can do; it doesn't have to be a grape shape but convert it into a traditional book.  I had a bigger plan but I'll be reserving that one for next year! O.K...so here is the mini. Oh, and excuse the empty journaling spots...kinda want to keep those wishes to myself. jeejeejee...I hope everyone had an amazing Ano Nuevo/New Years!

What did I use?

DCWV: Mi Casa paper stack (My leftoever from Linda's mini)
Tim Holtz D-ring (from a RAK)
Chipboard numbers (BigLots a long time ago)
Embroidery floss (my mom's stash)
Home-made flowers and ribbon (from my own stash)
Florish and stamped journal spots (from the Expo last year)
Stampendous:PEARLuster Jade embossing powder (Michaels)
Recycled chipboard for my grape shaped mini (My husband saved that chipboard from being thrown in the dumpter!)


Well, if you guys have any questions please ask away! Me no mind at all! LOL!

DAY 12 - ALTERED CONFIGURATION BOX

Hola Everyone! :) DAY 12!!!! Can you believe it? It went by so fast! First from Susi and myself...we want to thank everyone who has stopped by and showed us some bloggin love and a huge thank you to all of the Followers. Woot! Woot! Susi and I are super excited that our blog is coming along, thanks to all of you Crafty Chicas! :) We also wanted to wish you and your families a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We will be coming back with some New Year projects soon, so we hope to see you there.

Ok...here's the last project...it's a Tim Holtz altered configuration box....It's altered as a scene from inside a gingerbread house. I loved every minute creating this look, my imagination was running wild on this one. It was really hard to try and figure out what does a gingerbread house look like in the inside...if we only get to see the outsides of these tasty treats...LOL. So in each of the boxes there is a "scene" that I made up...The top scene with the Gingerbread, is that he is walking thru a wintery wonderland trying to pick out his sugar cookie xmas tree...LOL...I know...just go with me on this one...LOL...On the top right....that scene is the Gingerbread's family room...He has all his favorite family pics up on his wall and likes to sit at his table with a cup of "gingerbread spiced" coffee and stare at them....LOL....The left bottom scene is...the Gingerbread's warm and cozy fireplace where the Gingerbread likes to sit on his lil green rug and dream of yummy sugary treats. And the last scene on the bottom right is the Gingerbread's cute lil kitchen. He sure does love to bake cookies and then invite his friends over for cookies and milk. LOL...ok...so since I just had to get that little story off my chest...LOL...I hope you all enjoyed the last project. Here are some pics for you all to see.

DAY 10 - CHARM SET

Hello Everyone! Day 10...two more days to go with our xmas projects! :) K, so let's get started with this project...it's a xmas charm set. I think it came out darling. I love how they jingle when they are moved about. Charm sets are simple to put together. And by clicking here>>>VIDEO<<< it will take you to my Youtube Channel where I did a vid on how to put a charm set together.

The best part of making these charm set's is looking for all the lil do-dad's to put on them. Especially the Xmas ones...I had a field day looking thru my stash for all these cute lil extras. Since I've seen vids on charm sets....I've been hooked ever since. :)

SUPPLIES:
Swivel Clasp (Tim Holtz product)
Jump Rings (Tim Holtz product)
Buttons
Charcter or Shaped Buttons
Jingle Bell
Metal Xmas Charm

Day 9- Santa's Pants: hot cocoa gift box

Let's stuff Santa's pants with hot cocoa and marshmallows! Jajaja! Aye, sorry Linda but I couldn't help it.  It was an easy target. =) So I decided to make "Snowman's soup" into something unique.  We know Santa love milk and cookies but I bet he loves hot cocoa too!

I used a hot cocoa box and cut it in half then reconstructed it.  I covered the box with red card-stock, black card-stock for the belt and used a scrap square chipboard as the buckle.  I used gold embossing powder to make his buckle gold...ooooh so chy-knee! I placed some fur on the bottom of his pants too.  And there you go! Santa's hot pants!

What did I use?
Recollections red and black card-stock
scrap peice of chipboard
Gold embossing powder
Joann's whit fur (This is my emergency stash for when my nutcrackers lose their hair and/or facial hair...come to think of it I need black fur for my dark haired nutcrackers!)

I hope you guys enjoyed Santa's pants and thanks for stopping by!

DAY 8 - XMAS TAGS WITH BOX

Today's project is a little box that hold's gift tags to put on your presents. I really love how they came out, and they were very easy to make. I used my Slice personal cutting system and, chose the image for the tag from the "Noteworthy" card. Then I made rosettes, using the Martha Stewart Scoring Board, punched out the Xmas trees from a punch. I used the small hole on my crop a dile and punched out a small hole on the top of the tag, and threaded colored twine thru the hole. I used a stamp from a Xmas Stampin Up set that I have, sorry it's an older set and I don't know the name of it, and stamped "to" & "from" on the back of tag.


For the box I used the MS scoring board's directions on the measurement's for the box. I decorated the front of the box with a cute cutout of a holly leaf, used foam letter stickers from Queen & Co. And added lil embellishments to complete it. These are going to look great on the xmas gifts! This would make a cute lil pre-gifting for co-workers or friends. Thanks for stopping by!

SUPPLIES:
Adhesive
Cream Cardstock
Patterned Paper
Foam Stickers
Twine
Green Cardstock
Crop A Dile
Stamp "to & from"
Tree Punch
