Friendly Plastic for every occassion

I thought it might be fun to make 3 necklaces - one for every occassion, so here goes. This first one is for everyday wear. I think I could have fun with it!

Just inked up a pice of white Friendly plastic, cut a circle, popped into an old K&Company finding, dropped a bling into it and covered it with Glossy Accents....then strung it with just a few simple beads:

This next one is business casual. I dismantled 2 pair of earrings and turned them into a necklace....
and a scrap of Fracture n Fusion cut and popped into another K&Company finding. Maybe an hour tops?

But just too cute for the office or just for fun!

And here's one for formal nights. Used Linda's latest technique - Glisten and Glimmer in a Nunn Design finding.....
and strung it with lots of crystals and bling.

All 3 necklaces made in a single afternoon using bits and pieces of old jewelry and scraps of Friendly Plastic. Can it get any more fun than this?

Today we made boxes

KandCompany Paper Boxes. Just punch them out, fold them up and decorate. Problem is, there are NO instructions! Just a photo. So it takes a bit of creative thought to get a few of these folded up. But we sure had fun!



We added blossoms to a lot of them.






















Yeah, she doesn't look old enough to live in a retirement center! It's one of my sisters! LOL!









We had loads of Hershey's kisses to put inside the boxes and we gave them all away to other neighbors who came to see what we were doing. Now, I'm not so sure they wanted the boxes....or if they just came for the chocolate!! I learned a good lesson today - bring chocolate every single time you want to play at mom's! You're sure to have a great crowd!

Chocolate anyone?

Well, how about something cute to put it in? A book of diecut/printed boxes to punch out and fold up from K&Company:



there are 2 to a sheet on a lot of the pages. 28 pages, so lots of great little gift boxes:



I added some Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the tips of each flower and leaf and added a dot of Stickles glitter to the centers.



Even distressed the edges on this little box:



But on this one, I simply put it together and added a flower using Blossoms from Creative Impressions.



Just so cute!



Now who wouldn't love to receive a few little Hershey's Kisses all decked out in a gift box like this? Totally fun! Quick and Easy!

4 inches of snow and I feel like spring!

I'm having such fun playing at mom's! There's a tiny little scrapbook store in town called Memories 4 Life. I found these cute papers there yesterday. Of course, the wood words were red white and blue so I just painted them with pink dabber paints. But isn't this a delightful spring journal cover? Love the little doll dressed. The paper and stickers came with a load of glitter all over them. Just too cute!



That will be my journal this month. Next, I wanted to try to do a brown paper bag book, but without sewing the bags. I decided to give a try using my bind-it-all and my mini score it. Well, once again, I scored!!!



Don't you love those little dolls? A take off on the newest papers from Basic Gray. I traced them, cut them out, inked them, and dressed them with stickers from this line by K&company.

One of these days I will fill the pockets with tags and such. For now....I'm just playing.



The whole inside is filled with paper and stickers.



Using the bind-it-all was perfect, saved time, and I didn't have to get the sewing machine out!



Everything was edged with Fired Brick distress ink



And I used my mini scor-it to fold each lunch sized bag in half before punching holes with the bind-it-all.







And another little Basic Gray doll on the back:



There may be snow on the ground, but I'm sure having fun playing with all these wonderful spring time papers and stickers. Paper dolls, dolls, doll dresses.....my favorite things to play with! There's such a child in me!
