Baby gift using the Mailbox Muse kit

Hi everyone!  I recently went to a customer garage sale at my local scrapbook store and got a box stencil for a quarter!  How cool is that?  And how perfect to go with my latest Mailbox Muse kit , Baby Baby Baby .  I cut out the box from dark pink cardstock and glued the collage images at random.  When the box was glued together I added  sheer ribbon bow with ribbon from Altered Pages and some lovely daisies cut from a scrap of ribbon in my bin.  I also made a matching card to go with.           Mailbox Muse Baby Baby Baby collage sheet Sheer yellow ribbon Double-sided Adhesive Tacky Glue   Do you use baby wipes for clean up when you work?  I do.  And I like to buy the big bulk package because it's more cost effective!  But I don't need the ugly label on the box.  So I took these flower stickers that I found at a dollar store and decorated the containe...

Note cards and storage tips

Quick and Easy Valentine and Storage Tips

Hello everyone!  It's me (Barbara) again, yep, with another fast and easy Valentine's Day card.  I just love the vintage feel of Altered Pages ' collage sheets, and this one is a beauty. I had this card stock in my stash, and while I don't expect you to have it, too, I want you to take a look at the papers and card stocks that you do have.  Pull them out and see what collage images go along with your own stash. There were several images on the Les Fleurs collage sheet that I thought would go very well with this card stock.  What do you think?  Am I right? This particular image of the little cherub with a wheelbarrow full of flowers just jumped right out at me.  So, I first adhered her to a piece of chipboard with Nori Paste and cut it out. Edge chipboard image with brown distress ink. Adhere  Gold Opulence Stickers Corners  and go around the edges with a  Gold Xtreme Pen . Stamp and heat emboss "Happy Valentine's Day" at top...
