Holiday Craftiness. Great Holiday Season

I am really excited to post my crafts from the Holidays. I've got quite a few that I'm pretty proud of. I got my cricut and I immediately put it to work. I knew that I wanted to make some paper flower, shadow boxes.

First up, is my mom.

 My mom has always, always loved Amazing Grace, they hymn. She also likes the color yellow. I wanted to make it special for her because she deserves it. So, I made some yellow gradient colored flowers and some white for a little pop. I decided to just do a big script, Amazing Grace with vinyl.  Here's a picture.. 




This one took me about 2 days. It was my very first cricut project! So, I was learning how to use it and making this at the same time. It took a while. I think I'm getting the hang of it now.




Here is another that I made for my sister-in-law, to be. She loves mint and we both really like, The Gilmore Girls. So, I knew that I wanted to incorporate all that. I really liked how the gradient colors came out with my mom. I decided to do that here and use minty looking colors. I think that was one of the hardest parts! Anyways, here is how it came out. I used a gray colored frame because that's they type of décor that will match in my brothers house. I used white vinyl with part of the lyrics on top.





This next one was for a Secret Santa gift. This one was a bit tricky because her favorite color is black. I decided to do a smaller shadow box, since we had a $ limit. Instead of doing all black, I did some gray into black. This way it wasn't all one color. I then used some glitter vinyl and a script R, for her name. I think it turned out pretty well!

January Planner Addict Box Photo Challenge

Since, I want to win 3 months free, I'm all over this challenge. The Planner Addict Box is holding a January challenge on instagram, to try and win free months of the sub. It's actually a pretty cool challenge and I'm loving it so far. I'm about half way through now. Here is the challenge and some of my posts. If you check out my instagram: Disturbia0509 .. you can see all of my posts on there. I will update this, when it's all over and add ALL of my challenge day pictures!


Day 14. This was yesterday's post. My most liked so far! I think a lot of people love post-it/stickey notes. They are just so fun and I'm a tad bit of a collector :) haha.
 
 
 
 

Day 15: Storage. Today is storage and I showed just some of the spaces that I have planner storage. I'm a crafter, so it's kind of all over the place. This isn't my whole room but some of the best spots!😁😁

January Planner Addict Box

I used to have 3-4 make up subscriptions but I have so much that I needed to stop. My obsession has kind of gone elsewhere... planners/crafting. I've always been a crafter but this year, I wanted to CREATE much more. It makes me happy and is so relaxing. Anyways, the only sub box I have no is, The Planner Addict Box. This box is $18.75 a month, with shipping. I love it. I'm kind of a beginner and don't have a lot of stickers and such. Well this was my January box and it's amazing. One of the best boxes so far! This is my 4th box.


 
 First of all, look at all the items!! There's tons of stuff in here:
- Quote cards
-3 pages of stickers
-2 different sizes of washi
-6 month, mini calander notes
-'YAY' planner clip
-some shaped pictures
-THE DIAMOND PEN (I'm really excited about this)
 
This is a good amount of planner goodies for less than $20 bucks! They also changed their look and I really like the actual box too. If you are thinking about it.. I would pull the trigger now. You will have to wait until the April slots open, at the end of the month. You basically have to wait 2 months to get your first box. Once you get your first box, it's monthly.
