I crack me up LOL…. this is a quick box I made using the Bigz XL die – Box #2 for the Big Shot. I added some Designer Series Paper – a strip around the bottom and a strip on the lid – to add a bit more colour, and then stamped out "fore you" using the Rough Type alpha from the Summer Mini catalogue.
This box holds a number of golf tees, and you could throw in some driving range tokens, ball markers etc – great for a golfing dad?!
I've updated my classes page and it should be accessible now. Somehow I knocked it offline for a bit – sorry about that! I've added classes through the summer and am planning ahead for Stampers Club in September!

Awwwww, isn't he cute?! I have to admit, it was kind of weird, cutting up the photo, but in the end, it all comes back together and it's all good. (although now that I look at the blocks from this angle, the one photo isn't quite lined up correctly. oops).
Thought I'd share this shot to show how one of the photo sides looks on the finished product.
I've decided to offer this class on Tuesday, August 24th at 7 pm in Burlington. Cost is $25 and will include the blocks. You supply the photos (you'll receive specific info when you register). Contact me to register or for more information!

Stampin' Up! sells these MDF blocks that make a fun home decor item. I made one of the sides into word art, using my Big Shot Bigz alphabet dies – Serif Essentials. I stamped images randomly onto cardstock, cut that into 3" x 3" squares and then used Real Red cardstock to create the letters. The other sides feature photos – some I used 3" x 3" sized photos, and I used some 6" x 6" photos that I cut into 3" x 3" squares to make a puzzle.
To adhere the cardstock or photos, you could use Tombow Adhesive or a decoupage kind of glue.
I'm planning on offering a class featuring the blocks in the near future – email me if you want to be sure to hear about it!

Here's another gift card holder – featuring Soft Suede Cardstock & dotted ribbon. Silver Hodgepodge hardware adds the finishing touches. Sentiment is from Sincere Salutations. The designer series paper is actually Holiday Lounge, but I like that it can be used in other situations and not scream "Christmas". This would be a great end of year present for a teacher… and in our case, it was, for my son's drum teacher!
In the meantime, I'm getting ready for the Information Night on Monday, June 14th at 7pm – still room if you'd like to join us and chat about the Stampin' Up! business…the mini starter kit is an economical way to kick it off! Please RSVP if you're able to make it.
