Here are my kids! Alexa, Noah and Amber. They are all so happy cause they had gotten some mail from Debbi (aka StampinCPA). She made each of them notebooks with thier names. They felt SO special! Thanks Debbi.

Every time they write in them I cringe. They are just too cute.

Due to more people ordering Alexa’s stamp set-

Happy Stamping!

I have been having fun challenging myself since starting with the Dirty girls on SCS. Secret is, I really stink at 3-D items. Well, Alexa wants her room re-done in a princess theme. Especially with Disney coming in a few weeks. So, I went to Michaels and got her this mirror for a whopping $3! I found the  Once Upon a Time patterned paper by DCWV, in this end cap of the store. I knew I could do “something” with it. So home I went.

I painted the mirror with White MM craft paint. I then took a sponge, and sponged craft pretty in pink, bashful blue, and almost amethyst to creat the look of the paper. So here is the framed mirror!

It really shimmer’s IRL! The letters are chipboard I already had on hand by Marcella by K. I got the prima flower from Jacksonbelle’s ebay store. Its from the baby girl line. I used my glue pen and went happy, then rolled it in some old SU! Glitter from back in the day! LOL! Matches perfectly.

Alexa’s princess dress is paper pieced. I made the crown myself. She LOVES her new mirror.

Thanks for looking.

 Well I have been getting overloaded with PM’s on Splitcoast asking me for instructions on how I made this  Purse & Wallet  gift set.

So I figured my new blog would be the perfect place for your step by step instructions! My very first tutorial! How exciting. I found it fun to use my daughter Alexa’s stamp set since I love it so much, and in hopes that those of you who dont have it, will want it! LOL!

I would also like to do a contest, so see next post!

You can make ANY holder, purse or gift box just by adjusting your measurements!The important thing to remember is make sure your front/back panels are the same, as well as your bottom and sides.If this explaination is unclear, think of the 2-4-6-8 box instructions. Because the box around is 2 inches, you score from the bottom 2 inches.This rule applies to the dimensions of any square item! Any size!Now for rectangle items like my purse, you can choose to make the opening as wide as you like! Just adjust the entire measurements!It really is easy once you get started.Clear as mudd?Well go grab your cutter, and scorer and follow along step by step! It should make sense once you are finished.
