Happy Stampin Happy New Year Steph   Who doesn't love a good sugar scrub???? They are super easy and affordable to make and can be dressed up for a perfect gift to that special friend, family member and teacher! Just add an adorable tag & ribbon!
This was another class offered by The Crafting Room at the craft weekend. And OMG the scents are to die for!!!!! I would not recommend giving this to a child! As part of the recipes include adding RUM yes RUM to the mix. So I know how tempting these sweet scrubs are to taste! Just omit the rum and they are good to go!!! My favorite scent is the Mojito. I love the smell of mint so this was right up my alley! The Strawberry Daiquiri and Pina Colada also smelt soooooo good it seriously made me want the drinks!!! I just need to color my tags and these are good to go! But I have a hard decision to make! My big question is, do I keep these for myself or give them as gifts?? Enjoy!! Happy Stampin Steph  Painted wood decor is all the rave today! So I was excited to see that The Crafting Room offered a class at their craft weekend. Lara was gracious enough to bring lots of paint colors for us to choose from and gave us choice for our design prior to the weekend! Her attention to details was just awesome. Her father made the trays and they are amazing! Recessed bottom so you don't see the edges and recessed holes so the screws sit below the edge of the wood and little rubber feet for the corners to make sure the trays don't scratch surfaces! I mean c'mon!!!! AWESOME LOVE LOVE LOVE the end result and I have my tray proudly displayed on my kitchen counter!!! Thanks for stopping by Happy Stampin Steph  I made 23 pencil boxes for my son's 4th grade class to hand out for Halloween. We can not hand out candy and Halloween really isn't celebrated in schools any more. But I was able to still give a little treat to each of his classmates! My daughters are too old in school now that they just don't want to share gifts anymore and they switch classes so there would be too many to make even if I wanted to!! :-(
I wanted something simple, and I know kids can always use pencils! I found directions for the box on Pinterest. I followed the directions by crafter The Stampin B, you can find the directions here. I used retired Stampin Up products to decorate! My son was so excited to bring them into school today!!! I can't wait to hear all about it when he gets home! Happy Halloween & Happy Stampin Steph  A project that I love to make for the holidays is a lotion & chapstick holder! Passed years I have made a gift bag holder with a cut out in the front for a window so you can see the content. Even tho I really like the gift bag, I decided to change it up a little this year. The reason being, I am involved in a Holiday Pop-Up shopping event again this year and this will be the 3rd time I will be displaying my projects for sale. So I figured for those repeat attendees that I am so gracious for!!!! I decided I needed a fresh look!
After a few failed attempts on my own, I came across a post on Pinterest and I really liked her project. I adjust it to be just a tad wider so that the lotion and chapsticks would fit without pushing against the paper edges. Unfortunately, I did not pin the post and I am having trouble locating it at the moment. SO I will keep looking and definitely update when I come across it! I want to make sure I give credit to the creator as well!! The DSP and stamp image I used is from Stampin' Up's new Let it Snow suite. The stamp set is called Snowman Season and there is also a Snowman Builder punch that coordinates with one of the stamps. I made 2 of each paper design for a total of 8 holders. I used the cut out from the window as a backing to the greeting and had the reverse side of the paper displayed. For the window opening you could use a window sheet. But I cut a piece of transparency. You can find these at an office supply store. I feel they work just as well and you get more for your money! I plan to put these into a cellophane bag and finish it off with a little tag that includes the contents for easy shopping. I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stampin Steph  One of the classes offered at the craft weekend was making a beaded necklace! I was a little intimidated, definitely not something I would do on my own. The thought of threaded little beads onto a string had me a little stressed. But honestly this was so much fun and relaxed. We were able to pick out the colors we wanted and layout the beads to see how it would look! I can't tell you exactly what we used, because I haven't a clue about jewlery, but Michele from The Crafting Room was an awesome teacher. She kepts us relaxed as we learned each step! I made the necklace for my mom as a thank you for her staying the weekend at my house with the kids. I chose blue beads (blue is her favorite color) M for her first name and a little coffee cup, because like me she loves coffee!! I also decorated a little craft bag using the Stampin Up Winter Woods stamp set and Into the Woods Coordinating dies. I think it came out nice considering my resources were limited and this was not planned :-) I really like making the necklace, and Michele, was gracious enough to let me make a bracelet for myself! The beads are so pretty!!!!! Love it! So what do you think? Are you a jewelry maker too?? Do you think I should add this to my hobbies or stick with paper-crafting??? Happy Stampin or jewelry making :-) Steph    I love making little treats to give teachers, family, friends. The hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works are perfect for this! They are affordable, have cute designs, smell amazing and everyone loves them! You can find many designs if you search Google or Pinterest. But I stick with this type of box to hold them! I like how it fits and you still have space to decorate! To make the box, you will need a piece of cardstock that measures 3 3/4" x 4 3/4". Score it on the 3 3/4" side at 1" and 2 3/4". Then turn the paper to the 4 3/4" size and score at 1" & 2" Fold all the score lines. On the sides that measure 4 3/4", cut the score lines to create tabs. Fold the middle tabs in and adhere the bottom tabs on the outside to create the box. The you going to cut at a diagonal from the top of the box side down to the top of the tabs. (My picture shows the completed box, but hopefully this makes sense) Contact me with any questions. I chose to match up the box to the style of the sanitizer, this one was called Vampire Blood. So I used a pieces of Real Red cardstock (measure 1"x6" and 1 3/4"x2 1/2") and embossed the pieces with the new Stampin Up embossing folder called Stylish Scroll. I then sponged the edges with Basic Black to give it an old look. The Vampire stamp is also from Stampin Up the stamp set is Spooktacular Bash. I made a layer by cutting the Vampire out and the greeting using a framelit from Stampin Up's Ornate Frames Dies. Added glue dots to the top of the greeting so you can lift the Vampire up. I adhered them to another die from the same size! Love it!! I also completed another set for the Ghoul Friends scent. I used the Stampin Up stamp set Spooky Fun & Halloween Scenes Dies. I think I prefer the witch flying across the moon, so I will up the rest of the boxes and finish them that way!!! I hope you enjoyed this project! Let me know what you think! Happy Halloween & Happy Stampin' Steph   This weekend I had the pleasure of attending The Crafting Room's craft weekend held in Yarmouth, MA. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! If you're like me, you find yourself scrambling to get it all done during the week. Between sports, dance, homework, kids, meals, errands etc there isn't a lot of downtime. And let's face it, it can all be overwhelming at times! I think it's great, if you can to get away for a day, night or weekend and relax and recharge! And.....I didn't have to think about drop off's or pick-ups or what to make for dinner that everyone will eat! We enjoyed amazing meals too! Pictures below.........Grilled shrimp tacos from the Black Cat restaurant, Spicy Thai Chicken salad from Panera, and this delicious Grilled Salmon with a citrus sauce from The Yarmouth House! I also had a pumpkin cheesecake that was to die for ...but forgot the photo oops. The hotel The Hampton Inn, was great. They were very nice and clean! They offered a free breakfast bar that included anything from eggs to make your own waffles, oatmeal, yogurt, cereal fruit & more! It was so good! I brought a few projects I needed to finish up with me and also signed-up for classes they offered! I enjoyed working on projects that I wouldn't normally do on my own! The hostesses, Jen and Lara, did an amazing job planning the event, from the location down to the pillow gifts and everything in-between! This week I will be sharing a closeup of a few of the projects I made, from the classes I took, as well as the projects I took with me. Below was our schedule, welcome gift and pillow treats (left in our room each night we were there). How adorable is this. The nautical themed welcome gift was perfect for the location! We were located right in Cape Cod, minutes from the ocean! The coffin was filled with yummy treats and look at the ornament. It was made from beach with and sea glass!! WOW I can't wait to hang this on my tree!!! If you love to get away to craft, I highly recommend The Crafting Room!!!!
