Hello everyone!!!  How was your Saturday?!?  Did you have a great one?  My morning was spent cleaning and wrapping some Christmas gifts... yup trying to get ahead of the game lol After all that it was time for me to play a bit!  And actually got quite a lot done!!!  I'm pretty impressed with myself.  And I have some to share with you.  I figured I would start off with a Peter Rabbit Christmas ball from Vol. 2 .  There's still a great sale going on over at  Nicecrane Designs  on all the Christmas balls!!!  So you really need to get over there and take advantage of this. This is the sheet inspiration that previews this set I'm sharing the 1st one that I made and will share the other probably tomorrow ;o) They are soooo fun to do I really hope that you go and take advantage of this great sale.  I used some ribbon from my stash.  I inked all the edge with my Chipped sapphire distress ink. Here's a sideview so you really see the depth of this! I

Hello everyone!!!  I hope you had a great Monday! Tonight I'm here to share with you one of the 2 creations that I made with a great set from Nicecrane  and that you can find here . Here's a picture of the set itself: There's 5 superb images for only 4.50$ that's less than 1$ each!!!!  So that's pretty awesome no?!? I had to create 2 St-Nicholas cards one for my nephew and one for my niece ;o)  I'm sharing tonight the one that I made for my nephew.  It's a card that is super heavy because there's lots of layering!!!

Good evening!  I'm here to share with you the 2nd of my creations using the great digi sheet Peter Rabbit Christmas ball vol. 3 from Nicecrane.  I had lots of comment yesterday about it ;o)  So I'm sure you will be happy to see the other image that's on that sheet.  And those are so fun to do.  There's lots of those Christmas balls so you have to go and check them out. And here's the demo sheet so you see what the other image is... you can also check out my post here .

Hello everyone!  It's been awhile since my last post for  Nicecrane designs .  I missed playing with the fabulous Christmas balls.  I find them so relaxing to do.  So to finish off my Sunday I did 2.  This time I used the great Peter Rabbit Christmas ball vol. 3 you can find the products in the store . On each great sheet of digis there are 2 set of images.  This is the preview I have printed the sheet twice so that I can do the 2 sides of this little Christmas ball with the same image.  So here's a look at the sweet rabbit.  I used some vintage photo distress ink on the sides this time.  I wanted a more distress look.  I used a little ribbon in my stash.

Hello everyone!!!  TGIF!!! Hope you are as excited as I am that it's the weekend!!! woohooo.  This means some crafting time... and most of all that I don't have to be in my car by 7h10 in the morning... yikes... really hard the morning commute to work now... Anyway I'm here tonight to share some cards that I made for my DT of Nicecrane designs  with a great set called  Vintage birds greating cards .  You get 10 images for only 4.5$.  A totally fabulous deal don't you think?!? In thinking of my Christmas gifts for the teachers... I made another set of little cards.  This time with a real vintage feel.   The paper is from K& Cie - SW nature.  I thought it was perfect for this.  I added some doilies from my stash, a little ribbon and button as well.  The card base was purchased at the dollar store at 6 cards/1$.  So this makes I think a great gift that's not too expensive... because all the paper that I used on the cards was taken from 1 sheet of 12x12.  And al

Hello everyone!!!  I'm back to share some more decorations that I made with the great sheets from  Nicecrane designs  if you click on the link you will reach the great sheet of digis.  It's called Vintage Christmas ball by Bowyle So here's a closer look at them.  So fun that it's my pictures that are the preview ;o).  I have printed the sheet twice.  This way I get to do both sides of the ball with the same image.  But you could do a ball with both designs instead.  I'm thinking that these will be used as embellishments to my Christmas presents instead of being put on my tree.  This way it's another little homemade gift included and they can be put on someone's tree to remind them of us!!! 

Hello everyone!  So did you have a crafty day?!?  Mine was spent doing some food that turned up really delicious and some craft as well as a bit of blogging ;o)  I'm here to share with you some really exciting news and some little crafty gift. I had made some cute little Christmas baubles that you can see here  and after showing them to the designer of Nicecrane  I had an amazing offer that took me about 2 seconds to analyse... and then I said yes!  He asked me if I would like to be on his team!!!   If you go and check out the store you will realize why I could not say no!!! I'm trying to get ahead of the game... and make some Christmas gifts for the teachers as well as the educator for my son that's in 5th grade.  I will also have to make some for others but right now that's my main concern.  I think that homemade gift are so much nicer than the store bought... especially since they get a lot that's the same... and they end up not knowing what to do with them.

I'm here tonight to share with you some creations that I made that are totally different from my usual creations!  I made some Christmas ornaments!!!!  I got some fabulous digis from  Nicecrane designs .  Don't know if you know that digi store?!?  But if you don't you really should check it out.  It's pretty amazing.  And they have a great blog with inspiration that you can follow here .  They share some pretty amazing freebies.  So if you don't know them I highly suggest that you go and have a look!  Please don't forget to say thank you ;o) So I just had to try this out!!!  The Vintage Christmas ball Pyramid sheet comes with 2 set of images.  I decided to double the printing so that I could do a Ball that would have the same image on both side.  It's pretty easy to do.  You cut out the template and then layer up the pieces using some foam pop up. Here's the preview of the set  So exciting that it's my make that's used as the preview ;o)
