Guess who I met Last Night?

I am still on Cloud 9 from last night.  I took a class from a LSS that Nikki Sivils was teaching.  She brought her new line It's Raining, It's Raining and we made a double page layout (I am finishing up and I will show you) and 1 card (I need to put my touches on it).  We got to take home the leftovers and I have some ideas for that.  Then I won a door prize which was another of the lines to be released this weekend --Max & Mollie.  I took Liz with me as an early birthday present, but had to involve her husband to get her there secretly.  She is up on the same stars as me.  I got some great pictures that I hope to scrap on the paper this weekend or shall I say soon. 
Nikki is so down to earth and a genuine person.  She surprised me and put me up on her blog.  So go check this out, while I try to do something.  http://nikkisdoghouse.blogspot.com/2011/01/creating-keepsakes-guest-blogger-day-2.html

Birthday Box

Today's creation is a box I altered using Imaginisce Product -- Birthday Bash, I Rock and I Bond and had a great time doing it.  The box is octagon shaped so I varied the paper and added I rock's to anywhere I saw circles so in the light it does sparkle.
This is what it started out like (I think this was a box that someone gave me for my birthday in December).

and it now looks like this

Along the way I thought you would like to see the top and sides.  The top has 3 flowers on top with button centers.

Hope you enjoyed looking at this and this is for Katy, but don't tell her.

2 Sketches for December

I have been so busy at home that I keep forgetting to post 2 things I have done with a Sassy Lil Sketch. The layout, I did using the Layout

 Sketch from December 21st and turned it.   It gave me a start on where to go with this one.

The next sketch I did was a card just before Christmas using up my scraps from Tinsel & Twigs and using my Tim Holtz Tape around the center where my sentiment is and I love how it came out.  Now this was from the card sketch of December 14th.

Hope you enjoy these.
