Craft Knife Holder and Note Pad and Pen

I have a TON of old CD's!
I have been saving them for years now.. and I have so many it isn't even funny .. I have lots of great ideas for them so stay tuned..

but for now, this is what I whipped up with 2 of them !

I covered the CD with scrapbook paper and glued two foam hearts to it.. I use it to hold my craft knife and also my little needle hole punch tool.


And.. with this CD I covered with paper and glued an old backgammon cup to it to hold some pens and the CD holds my sticky note pad..

Both of these are very handy and I really love them!

Orange Juice Cases to Pretty Storage

We shop at Sam's Club a lot -- and recently started to shop at Aldi's -- the best thing about these stores for me, is the boxes you can get there!!! :) :)

I got two orange juice cases from Aldi's --- and this is what I made from them:

This box holds my ribbon scraps --






..and this box holds some of my magazines that I love so much!

I just decoupaged scrapbook paper on them and and embellished.. :)

Picture Frame

I bought a bunch of picture frames at K-mart that were marked down to $1.00!!


They were pretty beat up, but that doesn't bother me, cause I just cover them up anyway!!



I still have to use up the others, but with one of them I made this frame specially, to show off my precious granddaughter --

All I did was choose the scrapbooking paper I wanted to use -- Which I bought these particular ones loose at Michael's. and then I decided on my design. I cut out the letters using my Cricut cutting machine and emblished. I also cut out some of the flowers on the paper and put them around randomly to give the frame a 3D look. I also put rhinestones around.. everything I make has to have a little bling to it!

Storage Box Envelopes

We bought some Hawaiian Punch Freezer bars for the kids to enjoy -- and when I saw the boxes, I thought, very cool, mommy gets to enjoy these too!!
These boxes appealed to me because they open up like envelopes -- so I got busy and went to work.

I opened the boxes flat and decoupaged my paper choice on them.

Glued the boxes back together, added embellishments and clasps to hold the boxes shut and viola!

I had some really pretty boxes to hold some more supplies in.

You can get as elaborate as you wish -- Don't forget that these boxes and the capri sun boxes, would make awesome gift boxes too !!
