MY CREATIONS CUBE

This is the first "My Creations Cube" I have ever decorated, but it want be my last! I love how it turned out. You can purchase your own cube to decorate for $4.95 on my website and don't forget that you will get a FREE $22.95 stamp set with a purchase of only $20 on my site during December! The photos on the cube are of my son and daughter-in-law when they were dating.

I added pink lace to the edge of the photo pocket.

I traced the shape of the hearts from a stamp from the "Love Language" stamp set onto Blush cardstock, then cut them out. I sanded the edges of the hearts.

I used a stamp from the "Adorable Backgrounds" stamp set and Chocolate stamp pad for the swirl print on the light pink paper. Adorable Backgrounds is one of my favorite and most used stamps. You can see the entire stamp set here: Adorable Backgrounds

I used the Versa Mark ink pad to stamp the butterfly onto "Blush" cardstock and embossed it with the Cocoa Embossing Powder.

The felt heart on the inside of the box is from the Whimsy HeartFelt Die-Cuts. You get three 12"x12" sheets of die-cuts in the set. Each sheet is a different color. These were $9.95, but you can get them on my website while supplies last for $5.95 here: Whimsy Die-Cuts

CREATING FASHIONISTA DECOR

This was my newest decorating project and I am thrilled with how it turned out. I have been working on updating the guest bath. The jumping off point for color choices was the sink....a pale green colored marble sink. The walls were old 80's wall paper board (in mauve and country blue) like you see in modular homes, which I painted white. The vanity and mirror frames were pine with a light stain, which I sanded and stained a dark cherry. The light fixture was a cheap ($6-7) dressing room type fixture with three bulbs. I replaced it with an updated nickel finished fixture, added a green shower curtain and towels, and a leaf print rug in front of the tub. It is all coming togther. I was in desperate need of some art work, but could not find what I wanted. So, I decided to make my own.....Hope you like it as much as I do!!!! I especially like the red pop of color. They are now hanging over the towel bar, next to the tub. I made them by cutting scrapbook paper to the desired size, then a wonderful man in our church cut the wood for me. I glued the scrapbook paper to the wood squares and let it dry overnight. Then, I painted the edges and sides. After the paint dried, I sealed it with a matte finished clear coat.
