Warmest Holiday Wishes Altered Gift Bag

I would like to convey warm holiday wishes and a sincere thank you to my loyal followers. And of course also to those of you, who by chance, stop by my little corner of the blogging world.

I am still continuing to learn about blogging, and the social media since the birth of Cindy's Paper Creation almost one year ago. I love creating, and the greater the crafting challenge, the more I'm loving it!!
I have learned techniques from the so, so many more experienced crafters...who I must also add, are the friendliest, kindest, and appreciative humans from all over the world!!

In the near future, I hope to provide a giveaway from time to time, but I still have to do research on how to conduct them.

I have come to realize that I am procrastinator...esp. pertaining to certain aspects of blogging and the social media...even entering challenges. I do not possess enough confidence in my work and photo taking. I am a perfectionist and enabled a habit of critiquing, thinking I could do better, or more, or differently.
I NEED to stop those thoughts to move on!
Sounds like a good New Years resolution!

The one thing I love about blogging ...I can type my thoughts in more effective words than I could ever effectively speak from my tongue! LOL

Now on to my creation...nothing fancy, a quick and simple decorated kraft paper gift bag.

The Tap Dancer

Hello and Happy Mojo Monday!

While I was making this, the thought came to mind.... I have never done a layout of myself! You may ask yourself why?!

The answer is.....there are not very many pics of me to be had. I have always, absolutely, positively detested getting my picture taken!
Any of my family members will attest to it.
The profile picture for my blog and Google+ is about as good as it gets!!

I started with Bazzill card stock and sprayed it with Mister Huey's color mist in Sunshine and Inky Black.
Layered with Graphic 45 French Country-Montage and some of Authentique-Blissful paper pack.
Used an EK Success punch on the corners then adhered tiny pieces of black glitter cardstock behind them.
The Prima flowers and a delicate see through leaf were attached to a chipboard ring adorned with black satin ribbon.
The chipboard ring circling my face (UGH!) is adorned with gold satin ribbon and the hatpin is made by Christina Griffiths at card-making-magic.com.
The title was cut from the Cricut Ashlyn's Alphabet.
To finish this layout I added some metal art pieces from K&Company.

This picture of me and fellow tap dancer's was in my mother's box of keepsakes.
She had it tucked nicely in my baby album.
You can tell by the look on my face, even way back then, I was not happy getting my picture taken!

I can remember my mother bragging about this picture.
If she was here today, she would of been so proud of this scrapbook layout!

If you feel like giving my blog some love, it would make my Mojo Monday even more mojo!!

As always....Happy Crafting!

TTFN!

Congratulations Graduate!

I made this card for my niece, who just graduated from Westminster College with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Hip, hip hurray Becky!!

I also created a embellished, dimensional envelope at the last minute, like in the AM on the day of the graduation...so I did not have time to take a picture!

I just love this card...it's one of my favorites!

As I have said in the past, I can not take good pictures. You can't see the shimmer spritz on the flowers!!
