Jaded Blossom February Release Day #1

 Hi Everyone!
Welcome to our first day of Jaded Blossom Release Week!!!   
Today we are sharing projects made with a New Stamp Set and a New Die.

These sets are so perfect together!! The bows are adorable and so easy to put together!!
First project I wanted to use the Kraft Box which I filled with wrapped chocolates (yum!) and then using the large bow, create a package look.  For the side ribbon look, I used the border dies and just wrapped around to the back of box.  I thought this sentiment was just right for this gift! 
 Products Used:
Jaded Blossom: Special Packaging (new release)
Bow Dies (new release)
 Luggage Tag Dies, Border Dies and Kraft Box

Next up, I thought the small bow die would be perfect on a mini clothes pin and then I also added the small flat bow die to the kite SVG cut - I just trimmed off the tails...

SVG Cutting Files Challenge

Hi Everyone!  Starting today, there is a new challenge at SVG Cutting Files!!  Challenge is "Crafter's Choice!"
Here are my projects:
I just love the Leprechauns file and with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I made two gifts to give my kids using both Leprechauns and a couple of other files.
The leprechaun here was just prefect to put outside the pot of gold box file - I filled with gold coins and Rolo's.
 The other leprechaun I used a Peachy Stamped Face to change her up a little ~ so cute!! The wine bottle tag fits perfect on this Lindor Caramel Milk Chocolate bar I bought and then adding Ms. Leprechaun completed the gift.
Products Used:
Paper: Doodlebug Designs ~ Happy-Go-Lucky
Cardstock: Doodlebug Designs and American Crafts

I am......

I am a Daughter, Sister, Mother, Wife, a Friend and also a Survivor of Breast Cancer.  I'm not one to shine the spotlight on myself but it took awhile to realize I should be proud of what I accomplished over a 14 month period.  I am stronger for this experience and so very grateful for the overwhelming support I had along the way...I was never alone in this.  I had the support from my immediate family, husband, children, friends, design team sisters and many medical teams.  I learned I am stronger than I know, more capable than I ever dreamed and I am loved more than I ever imagined! It was also an educating experience for me, it's amazing that breast cancer is just not one type, one cure, one procedure, it's many factors but it still remains that early detection is the key.  So if you have not had your yearly mammogram, make an appointment, get it done.....it saved my life!
Simple Stories just came out with a new Collection ~ Hope.  It gave me the strength to share my story....
Products Used:
Paper: Simple Stories ~ Hope Collection
Jaded Blossom: Label Die
Twine
