Happy Thanksgiving & Crafty Goings On!

First I wanted to wish everyone the most Blessed Thanksgiving of All!  I pray that everyone will have a moment to sit and relax and enjoy all the wonderful things that the LORD has blessed you with.  I am so grateful for a great many things and the most important blessing of all is my Salvation!! I praise the LORD for giving me a new life in HIM and a Beautiful family to share my life with. 

I have a few things to share today before I am off to start my Thanksgiving festivities...Cleaning, Cooking and Lot's of tasting!

This Week at Crafting by Designs I hosted the challenge.  The theme was love and I needed to come up with a sample that would include the word LOVE and or a heart.  Here's my sample:

My Love tag with a hint of Christmas, tag is green & white and the house has textured snow paint on the roof.

Next I have few kraft bags that I decorated using of course the MME paper that I adore so much!

Here is a pic of a painter's tray I am altering.  This is such a fun project and I don't know when I'll be finished with it, there is always more embellishing to be done, but I want to make sure I leave room for pictures.

Lastly I got a new Tim Holtz die and it is to die for!! For some reason I am really into seamstress body forms and I think you can do so much with these cuts...If you haven't seen it yet check this out?

Purchased at Joann's it was reg $19.99 they had 40% off dies and I used the Michael's 20% off disc on entire purchase. Woo Hoo!!!

Well that's it for now Ciao Bella's and have a very blessed Thanksgiving!!!

Decorative Clutch with Flower

Check out these new paper clutches.  They are super easy to make and super cute. I used my Cricut for the circle and my scallop punch for the handle opening.  The flowers probably took the longest to make, but they are pretty popular right now in the paper crafting and the fabric world.  I will post the basic instructions on the purse and the flowers soon.  So check back.
