Baby box - boy

 Hallo,
   Just a quick project to show off today - I have a ton of baby boxes to do for friends, and coworkers  - this is number 3 of 6  with 2 more boy ones and 1 more girl one to come.
  I forgot to get picks of the second one I did though.....
  The image is from 'A day for daisies' and is one of my favorite for the baby boxes. Colored with prismacolor and polychrome pencils onto cryogen white cardstock.
  The box I used is an plain wooden one I got at JoAnn's - it makes a good size to hold the memory book.
   All for now - Take Care

Wedding time of the year

 Hallo,
   I figured it was about time I posted again - I have been back to work after my knee replacement surgery for 2 weeks now and am still getting used to the work life again :)
   I have a long weekend  off due to the Memorial Day weekend although very rainy due to Alberto. But it made for some great craft room time.
   I finished off a wedding box for  a friend of mine.
I decorated a box and memory book and card to match.
  I used several papers from Paper Temptress - gold and Fairway from the mica/metallic paper line and for the sides of the box in antique silver luster, as well as my go to coloring paper the cryogen white.
   The digital image is from 'A day for daisies' and colored with polychrome pencils.
   All for now but I do have a few projects to show you that I did for my DD's wedding coming up in July....

Wedding gift box

 Hallo,
    Enjoying a holiday Monday off, loves the long weekends. Course we didn't do too much this weekend due to Nate raining and blowing on us Saturday night and all day Sunday but other than a ton of leaves and sticks in the pool no damage here. We didn't even loose power although some in our area did.(we just happen to be on the same power grid as the county sheriffs department - handy dontchsay :)
   Showing you a wedding box I finished off yesterday for a friend from work who got married last weekend.
   The paper I used for the digital image - from 'A day for daisies' is my old favorite, 'cryogen white'. Colored with prismacolor and polychrome pencils.
   The base cardstock for the card, memory book cover and the top of the box is called 'silver luster' and is from Paper Temptress , as is the cryogen white. I also used a piece of vellum from Paper Temptress with a really nice shimmer to it, but I cannot remember the name of it.
  I added some clay roses that I made using a mold and some ribbons and rhinestones, 2 rings with doves on them and a charm that says 'To love and cherish' on it.
   The box is an old cigar box and it is big enough to hold both the book and the card.
   All for today - gotta a few errands to run and maybe do some cleaning around the house.

Windblown

Hallo,
  Working today but since I had something done to show you, I will pre-post....
   I got this card done yesterday. I colored this sweet image from 'A Day for Daisies' with polychrome pencils onto 'cryogen white cardstock (as usual).
  The cryogen white as well as the base cardstock for this card - silver luster cardstock - can be found on Paper Temptress and they are 2 of my very favorite cardstocks.
  The silver luster makes wonderful wedding and anniversary cards as well as adding an elegant touch to any card.
  I added silver corner stickers, and some plastic clear flowers with a pearl and paper flower on top. Then I added a couple smaller flowers with a rhinestone and pearl center (sshhh - one of the little flowers covers a pencil smear)
   Lastly I added some liquid pearl drops with a viva décor pearl pen - onto her wings and in the centers of the flowers in her hair - and a couple on her cheek.....
    All for today - I hope to have another encaustic piece to show you this weekend.

Winter Whites

Hallo,
  I am joining in on the new challenge for the month on the Paper Temptress Facebook page.
  The theme is 'Winter Whites' and we are sponsored this month by ADFD (A Day for Daisies) - http://www.adayfordaisies.blogspot.com/
    I colored this sweet image from ADFD called 'Lucky Wishes" with prismacolor and polychrome pencils.
   The background paper I used is called 'Silver Luster' from Paper Temptress and it is really pretty and shimmery. I also used cryogen white to color my image - also from Paper Temptress - and it is my favorite paper to color with - both with pencils and markers!!! I also glittered up some cryogen white for the letters.
   Check out these and more yummy papers here - http://papertemptress.com/
  I added a bunch of pretties from my stash - some white beaded ribbon, a white pearly circle and some white and off white flowers too.
   Now hope on over to Facebook and join in on our challenge this month!!!! Just go to the Paper Temptress page, like, make and have fun!!!!

DFD - Birdie sweet

Hallo,
  Another rainy day here in NW Florida - makes for a great crafting day (although I should do some cleaning....) and I do need to run out and do a couple errands too....hoping for at least a short break in the rain to get the pups for a walk since I work tonight and they will only get a short walk tomorrow too(if that because it looks to be raining all day tomorrow too...)
  Well I have another in the Tarot/reading card series for you today and this time I used a beautiful image from  ADFD - A Day for Daisies. I colored her up with prismacolor pencils onto Neenah Desert Storm (a nice smooth kraft colored cardstock). I edged the layers both with gold metallic pen and added some gold flower stickers too.
  I am entering her in the current challenge over at ADFD which is for 'Anything Goes' - pop over here and join in - http://www.adayfordaisies.blogspot.com/

 The back is done with stamps from Papertrey Ink - embossed in black onto the shimmery gold cardstock to match the others in the set.
  Well its about time to get off the computer and do something a bit more productive :)

Pretty in blue - wedding gift box

 Hallo,
   Just popping in for a bit before going to work tonight, sleep was short today between the comings and goings of the fam and the puppies (babysitting a friends dog for a few days) .
   I haven't been very good at posting regular lately - the end of the school year for my DS who is a Senior so a few events and stuff working up to Graduation and my DD is home for a short month before headed to Europe with ROTC for a month this summer.....my house is very cluttered and disorganized lately :)
    I did this box for a friend to give as a wedding present. I love it when I can do these to match the couples colors or theme :) - She even passed on the invitation to me and I put it on the inside of the lid.
   The main image is from 'A Day for Daisies' ( ADFD) and is colored with prismacolor pencils. I used Spellbinders dies to cut the image and the layer under it.  Check out  ADFD here - http://www.adayfordaisies.blogspot.com/
  Inside the box is a 5 by 8 inch memory book and a card - all matching :) The blue flowers is a ribbon that was originally white and I used inks to dye it to match - When I found this flower ribbon on sale I stocked up just so I would have plenty to use - I have rarely used it white :).
   All for today - my guest puppy's Mom should be here to pick him up soon - dogs are so wonderful - he was very happy to stay with us as he loves my dog but when I started gathering up his things to send home you should have seen how excited he got :) so cute :)!!!
   Have a great day!!!!
