Home of the Brave!

Hello!  This is Cathy and today

it's my turn to design for Timeless Twine

& Bella Creationz.

I had two brother who served in the military a long

time ago and I got to thinking, I'm not sure I ever

"thanked" them for their service.

My brother Bob who served in Viet Nam died

two years ago so I hope he reads my post, however

Dave will be receiving this card in honor

of his service.  Dave was in Germany.

I had hoped for some sun, but it has been rainy

and overcast all day, so pardon pictures!

The chevron die is from My Creative Time and

it's the first time I've used it!  I love the

military look of this card!

The Firecracker Twine is a nice touch above

the sentiment also from MCT product line.

I plan to write a personal note to my brother

and thank him for his dedication to our nation.

I hope my post today spurs you on to thank

a vet for their service.  I don't want to take

for granted what so many do for us so we can

live our lives in freedom.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

To die for Wednesday!

Hello!  This is Cathy from
Mimi's Craft Corner and today
is To Die for Wednesday!

For anyone who truly wants to be creative and NOT

depend on a Cricut or Silhouette, die cutting

is for you!  I use a Cuttlebug but the 

Big Shot is on my Wish List.  I reach

for my dies over and over again.  LOVE THEM!

  

It was treat day at my office

and I put these together for my docs!

I made the tags using my Silhouette.

I printed my sentiment first and then

cut them out with the software.

The little "box" the candy sets in

is a die that I use over and over!  It comes

from My Creative Time and it's called

the treat slider.

Here is another variation using the same

box but the tags are cut using metal dies that

I ran through my Cuttlebug.

The Hershey Nuggets are covered

with 1x3 inch patterned paper strips.

I added a plastic bag with the final

touch being Watermelon Sorbet Timeless Twine

 to tie the tag on.

This is such a fun project and is always

appreciated at my office.  With 12 providers

I need to be creative when I want to give them

something.  It always amazes me how

a little paper, stamps, Timeless Twine and

CHOCOLATE make such an

awesome gift.

Have a great day!

Cathy
