~Pill Tracker~

I've been forgetful lately about whether or not I took my allergy medicine right before bed.

I know they sell those weekly medicine containers...but I thought I'd DIY the concept. ;)

 I used my Creative Memories Jumbo Blooming Star Pattern to cut out this shape from 3 cereal boxes which I then layered. 

I stamped the Kraft side to make it pretty. 

The fishing line, being clear, was perfect for viewing what day I'm on when I slide the button over.

No more second guessing whether or not I took that pill!

~Luminary Gifts~

I've finally got my gifts done for my fellow ringers!!!

These ladies are so special to me-we practice handbells every week for our church.

I was MOTIVATED to get these done in time for the

December Scor-Pal Designer Challenge:Last Minute Gifts.

Here is my Candle Luminary (for battery-operated candles ONLY) .

My Box Pleats tutorial is here, it will get you started if you want to make some also.

Once you've accomplished Box Pleats, trim it to be 7" high and stamp each "plateau" with a border stamp, before you do the folding.

Here is one done:

Time to fold....

AAAAHHHHH,

I could just stare at this beautiful stack of boxed pleats-they are so addictive!

For the "belt", I used the leftover strips and trimmed the white 1 1/2"X11";
the grey are 2"X11".

I scored them just as I did the pleats for the luminary, and glued them together, but instead of "plateaus" as the feature..the "valleys" are the feature.

I used glue along the "Plateaus" of the belt and a strip of 1/2" Scor-Tape to attach the ends.


The stamped & embossed Spellbinder label four is the "buckle".

Here are all the luminaries again:

From behind:

Although they are the same, each is unique in the speckling I did on top with two Copic markers.

I am also entering this in  

Wee Memories Challenge 78 Free for All

Get Inspired in the Kitchen Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

inspired me to use those AWESOME  Mint Motif Beyond Borders stamp I just got!!!

I waited for months for it to restock...I literally STALKED I Heart Papers to see if it was back in.

They were so faithful in letting me know when they had more.

They didn't forget me!  sniff.

i heart them. ;)

Thank you for stopping by, hope you were inspired to create these.

If you're interested, I have another style of luminary I did here.

~See You 'Round~

I originally bought this Flourishes' Enjoy the Ride to create a card for my sister-in-law...she loves them!

However, it could be used for any card like this...

 Matching DP is not my strong suit, but I DO love these designs from My Mind's Eye, and I wanted THE PAPER to take the stage.

Did you catch that bit of shine..from my Gelly Roll ?

Be happy I didn't cover the WHOLE card in that-it was a close call, I tell you.

It's soooo pretty. ;)

I'll keep this card handy for a quick note.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #147 

has a beautiful sketch by Silke.

I only modified it a teeny bit by pushing the two strips one more layer back, and making the circle smaller (the flower).

Thank you for stopping in today. ;)

~To Sheldon~

I have been inspired by Kristii's Post to create a hybrid card.

My Shelby sketched her snail, Sheldon, for me to honor awhile ago.

Wow, what inspiration that lil' guy was!

We originally bought him a year or so ago, to clean up after Stanley, Shelby's African frog.

We were told these snails live only 3 months.

I figured there would be Sheldon 1, Sheldon 2, ...you get the picture.

Sheldon defied stats and outlived his mean roommate who was always caught holding him like a hamburger!!!

In fact, he lived for about a year.

It was BAFFLING.  

Shelby was genuinely saddened by his death, and I created these notecards with her precious Sheldon sketch.

I toyed with my Printshop to get the four colors you see.

Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger:Deck the Halls

had me think of circular items, 

which led me to finish THE SHELDON PROJECT in multicolors.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting. ;)

~Running With the Crown~

When someone calls me "Queen", facetious or not,

I CLAIM IT AND RUN!  

My husband calls me Queen all the time, LOL.

Hmmmmm

Sometimes he's being a stink;

sometimes he's being sweet.

I'm saving this card for one of the stinker times.

Laurel has a new challenge I stumbled on

Inspired By #1

I was inspired by the letters being separated on each vase. It made me think of placing the letters in each frame of the border.

The royalty aspect?  

Why MOXIE FAB, of course, daaaaahling. ;)

 

Pot Pourri Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

I've had that "N" laying around...

 waiting to be used,along with the crown.

Finally, the colors were inspired by For Your Inspiration Challenge 19.

Purples and gold have been at the back of my mind since eying this gorgeous photo.

I think my husband would appreciate this card in context.

Sassy or kind,I AM his queen, after all.

*wink*

Thank you for stopping in today. ;)

~Forget the Scale~

I got inspired by the dreaded "scale" at the back of a hosiery envelope.

I cut it out to save for a card.

This is what popped in my head:

I know I will need to encourage some girlfriend by spring.

That girlfriend could be me!   LOL

I've already put on a few since Thanksgiving...sigh

A couple of challenges helped me get this card done:
