You may remember that I told you guys a couple of weeks ago that I was one of the runner ups for the WCMD contest at Lizzie Anne DEsigns. Yipee!! Woohoo! I got a free set called Celebration Frames. I made a bunch of cute little things the other day so I could play with my new stamps :)
First is a cute little lunchbox tin. ENABLER alert***, I found these at the $1 SPot at TArget...they are Lightening McQueen tins about 3x4" and sooo begging to be altered!! I used KI Memories Love, Elsie Christmas paper to cover the front, back and a strip around the middle. The little tag is one of the many frames from the Celebration Frames set. I stamped it in Real Red then punched it out with my SU! Scallop circle punch. That was layered onto 2 Round tab punches to form the bigger Red circle mat. The little Pretti in Pink mat is the 1.25" punch. Finally I stamped 2 of the little candies...one in Red, and one in Green GAlore. I used my blender pen to pull some color out then layered the 2 pieces together. The little box is all tied up with tons of ribbon from my scrap jars. Isn't this adorable?!!
Next up, I finally got around to making one of the adorable little Peek-A-Boo boxes from Qbee. You can find the template HERE at SCS. I printed the template directly onto River Rock cardstock then stamped the little star from Holiday Cheer, also Lizzie Anne Designs, in Real Red all over. The frame was stamped on the portion marked on the template, then I punched out the center with my 1.25" circle punch.
I folded it all up and sponged some Real Red around all the edges and corners and tied it up with a piece of Real Red ribbon. On the top I added a layered piece similar to the piece described for the previous project...using the same frame stamp, punching it out with the Scallop circle, then layering it onto 2 round tab punches. 
I added a few dots around the scallop with my white gel pen. The little Santa hat is from the Holiday Cheer set. I stamped it in Red, then added some white swirls around the stamped swirls with my white pen. It is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
How cute is that? Its the perfect size for 2 little Peppermint Patties (my fav). Here's the side view: 
Next up, I have all the coasters still sitting in a basket. I had big plans for them, but never used them all, whats new? SO, I started thinking about ornaments and frames, and thought what about a cute little frame to hang on the fridge? So, I pulled out a favorite pic of my daughters, croppped it down, glued it to the chipboard, then added the frame on top. I will do a tutorial on this soon...how I cut out the middle of the paper...its a piece of Mustard Moon Press. I stamped the little flowers from Celebration Frames onto the paper in Cranberry Crisp. I doodled abit around the centers of the flowers and the leaves with my white pen to pick up the white lines in the paper. This was then glued onto the chipboard coaster on top of the photo. I pulled out Holiday Cheer (LAD) again, and inked up "family" (part of one of the sentiments) with my Burgundy marker and stamped it on a scrap of the same paper, then put it into a little piece of Hodgepodge and added this to the corner. It still needed just a bit of something, so I added a hodgepodge clip to another corner and tied a piece of Cranberry Crisp stitched ribbon to that. Finally, I added a magnet to the back so it can hang on the fridge. Cute grandma gift idea maybe?
And finally, I wanted to do the card challenge this week. SO I grabbed some scraps of BAsic Gray paper and cut it into little pieces for the border. The card base is River Rock. The middle layer is Real Red and Old Olive. I stamped the frame from Celebration Frames onto River Rock...the letters are inked with black marker, the holly with Red and Olive. I added the big holly in the center...it was paper pieces with the same BG paper. And lastly added a bit of bling with some red sticky sequins from CTMH. 
A pretty good day with just 2 sets of stamps I think! STop by Lizzie Anne Designs to check out all of their wonderful sets, there are a ton that are retiring and are on sale so hurry! Thanks for visiting! -Cyndi

I like the family photo frame nicely crafted and customized to give that personal touch the name plate on the frame is good. I like the creative work, thank you.
