INCHIE CHALLENGE 14

A short post today. Thought I would share this photograph to remind you of what's coming...

Here's today's inchie...a fan...

I used a piece of gold shiny paper to cover the base and pink paper tape on the edge. The fan is made of cardstock weight colorful paper, cut in a small rectangle and folded, fan style. I gathered the folds on one side and glued them together and then glued the fan to the base. Using the same paper, I made a bow, adding a small crystal heart, and glued it to the base. Easy, easy, but really pretty.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to stop by my blog...
Enjoy your day...
See you tomorrow...

CRAFTING IDEAS

I decided to play with box making. (That was one of the demonstrations this past weekend but they included fabric.). So I first made a box shape out of a flyer that was card stock weight. I used my grid that makes fold marks - one size for the bottom and the same size plus one grid mark for the top. After folding, I cut the fold marks at both ends, overlapped them and glued using my stick glue. I then used scrap decorative paper to cover the entire box, inside and out. The top and bottom were loose before adding the scrap paper but after adding it, they fit nicely. It was an easy, fun and fast craft. And the result was really cute.

BOOK IDEAS

(New). I was looking through the recipes and marked many of them. The first one I want to try is the Wake-Up Potato and Sausage Breakfast Casserole. Everyone here likes the Jimmy Dean Breakfast Casserole so I thought I would try this one to see if it's just as good. The recipe is very similar except instead of bread, it calls for potatoes. Being originally from the midwest, you know that potatoes are golden for me! I would eat them breakfast, lunch and dinner and still not get tired of eating potatoes!
