No details today cuz it's just a quick post and most of my supplies are older stuff and I can't remember what company stuff comes from.  Although my sister sent me the butterflies so THANKS BUDDIE!

Tissue Box Cover

I've been wanting to make a tissue box cover for awhile now and finally got the chance to  follow this very easy tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers.  I picked up this little Sad Wombat from Tickled Pink Stamps.  Doesn't he make you wanna hug him?

When I finished the box hubby, said "oh he's crying after watching a sad movie that's cute".  Even tho I was just using Tim Holtz's filmstrip I hadn't even thought of that!!  LOL!!  To me it was just a fabulous embellishment!!

It's going into these challenges:

Cute Card Thursday - Signs of Spring.  Butterflies and flowers.....feels springy to me!!

Tickled Pink Stamps Facebook challenge to be a guest in an April blog hop!

Merry Christmas! JUST KIDDING!

Tickled Pink Christmas Challenge #1 - a monthly challenge for christmas cards and this month's challenge is green, red and gold!  I figure if I can make a card a month then I will at least be done maybe a third of my cards I need.  Maybe.  LOL!  This also gives me a reason to use all those papers I bought and might not use this year cuz there's always new stuff out by then.  hee hee

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #9 - "Sewing".  Now...I do realize it's not much but my heart in the corner, is hand stitched.  I did want to do more but this seemed to be the only place where it fit. 


I made the flower out of paper......that's not easy by the way.  I folded it in half and THEN wrapped it into this shape.  Trying let me tell you but pretty when finished!!  


Stamps: Tickled Pink "Lil Christmas Lad Frankie"
Paper: Bo Bunny "Noel"
Embellishments: Zva self adhesive pearls, Prima Holly flowers, Wild Orchid Crafts bauble garland and misc gold ribbon
Punches: Silhouette holly leaves
