You're a little NUTTY!

Debbie here from Craftin Chaos and we were to use the colors in our inspiration photo I have below. I wanted to use mainly products from Bella Creationz/Timeless Twine 

I thought this little box would make a cute way to give a treat to a friend. I love the sentiment 

because it is funny and you know I love me some funny stuff. The squirrel is one of my favorite svg files from svgcuts called "Acorn Autumn" seems like it should be Autumn Acorn but hey they didn't ask me did they. I put some glossy accents on his eyes to make them look cute and I used my clear wink of Stella pen (although you can not see it I love the sparkle it adds) And what box

isn't complete with a little pom pom! 

I just wrapped all the colors around the box and used the aqua twice since he has that color in his hat. I hope this gives you some inspiration to go "NUTS" and make something for someone.

Debbie here from Craftin Chaos. This month we are concentrating on Firecracker Twine and the colors Aqua, Cherry Red and white. So I thought a nautical project was in order! I love these little gable boxes and this one I used Carta Bella's new collections Ahoy There. GEESH I love that collection! The crab on the front is front the elements in that collection and I just did a print and cut for the box and the crab label on the front. I hope you can join us for our monthly challenge using these colors! I will have a link at the end of this post for the details on the challenge!

New things are happening here!

Hey peeps! Deb here with Bugjuiced and our theme for the entire month is "NEW" so that can be a "new" technique, "new" product, "new" style....well you get the jist. We have a "NEW" team with a few familiar faces and some new ones for you to get to know as well.  So today I chose to use a new technique. Stacy the owner of Told me how she made these awesome flowers she did for one of our new releases and I loved them. I chose to use mine in a different way but you can see what I did with mine below.

Two of the three projects below are using the flower. The third project is a new product for me. Its from the BellaCreationz store as well as the two boxes below. I will link all the product at the bottom of this post.

I will be doing a tutorial on this soon. I had some malfunctions with the video camera and regular camera while making these. I tried to film it several times and a camera may or may not have been whirled through the air and a few choice words were said. (bad camera now go back into your bag and think about what you have done) I was over it. This video thing is not so easy.

But look for some tutorials to come from our team. It will be a fun way to show you how to use your twine in ways you may not have thought about. I love to come up with something different to do.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your day with us!

Debbie here with Bugjuiced....If your like me you are panicking just a bit right now. I mean did you think we would already be in the "zone" of Christmas already!? Now its like 3 weeks away and I am so not ready. I am a card maker but do you think I got any cards done to send to me friends? Thats a big fat NO 10-4 good buddy....I feel like such a bad bad friend, scrapper, crafter of stuff that just gets displayed or done for a project.

My new years resolution (really I never do the resolution thing but lets give it a whirl) will be to be more prepared for my friends and families birthdays and holidays, get more healthy (this one will be tough) and forget that my skin and body has broke through the levy... it couldn't hold it anymore and said your on your own sister. I feel like the conversation my skin had with my body kinda went like this...in the voice of Scotty from Star Trek saying in that accent "Captain we don't have the power" and then its over.

Maybe it seems over dramatic or superficial to some but it has been a tough few years for me. Health wise I should have buzzards swarming me about right now I think. Menopause has taken a toll on me and definitely my sense of humor. My poor husband doesn't quite want to turn his back on me for not knowing if I am going to smash him in the head with something. Is this too much TMI for you all? But I have to find something to laugh about now.

Did you come here to look at my crafts? Well I guess I better get to the real issue for this post right!

I made these projects for Timeless Twine and it is with several of the products that are available in the store. See there is more than twine in BellaCreationz store. Check out the site and see how many fun things she has that you could make some really cute gifts for your peeps with.

This jar has the Doily & Cherry Red Twine. I used a cut file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons and then on the bottom layer I wrapped twine around it also to give it some pop of color through the cut outs. The mittens are also from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons. I thought the wreath was perfect to place in the center of the doily.

I then used a Gable box from BellaCreationz and make a large bow-ish thing out of Olive Green Twine for the front of my box. I placed a snowflake cutout on it and then used some red stickles just in the center to give it a bit of a pop. Honestly I would have used more stickles but those darn things get clogged up every couple seconds and I got tired of fighting with it! :) I love these gable boxes, truly I do. I put some pattern paper on the front just to dress it up a bit. I also used a red tag from the store and stamped in white ink on the front. I planned on embossing it but my embossing tool (only used a handful of times) burnt up! I had smoke coming out of it!
