I love to *Trash to Treasure* items ....you know...to "take this" and "make that" out of it.  It is so fun!  So, I made these valentine goodie treats to look like little sour cream containers out of those cardboard paper towel tubes.  Instead of throwing them out....make something out of them!

Earlier this evening I gave you a Sneaky Peaky of a project I've been working on for the past couple of days. Ü

My cousin's twin daughters recently celebrated their 1st birthday and I couldn't wait to created one of these boards for them.  I am so happy to share the with you today.  Ü

various trims, ribbons, rick rack, bows, bling and brads

Tracy ~ CraftJunkieToo

My name is Tracy or Craft Junkie Too (CJToo for short) - I live in Texas with my hubby and 2 sons.  I work full time for a State of Texas facility that offers services to over 300 mentally challenged individuals so most of my crafty time is in the evenings or week-ends.  I've been crafting since I was a teen-ager doing everything from cross stitch to wood craft painting; I discovered the Cricut about 2 years ago and I never dreamed the world and friendships it would introduce me to.  It's sooo cool! I have adopted a LOVE for papercrafting and most enjoy designing cards, home decor and treat/goodie bags.  I love to teach the steps of my projects through video tutorials and try to upload project video's when I can. You can view my YouTube channel here.  My 4 year old loves to "craft" with me so you may see him or hear him in my crafty video's.  :) He's a hoot!  

For my project I've decided to replenish my stash of *girlie* Birthday Cards.    I try to keep some cards on hand to pull out when I need a quick card.  Robyn's "Punnylicious" stamps are a fan favorite so visit her products page to order some if you don't already have them in your stash.

Winter Thyme Projects

Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!  BRRRRRR....is it cold where you are?  It is definitely cold here in my area of Texas - yes, winter is here...here.... here....---- we've had to pull out the big winter coats, mittens and stocking caps.....brrrrrrr!!!  To warm you up a little I  am so excited to share some Winter Thyme projects with you today......from me and a few of my CJToo friends! 


Here is mine.....my Primitive Country Snowman Hanger.....

+++++++++++++++++

Didn't she turn out so sweet?

I used chipboard and cut the snowman out of Winter Woodland at 10 1/2 inches

using my deep cut blade

I then cut out the same snowman 1 time on the antique white crackled paper by Paper Pizzaz

brown chalk ink around edges of snowman

I wanted to make a "faux" wood hanger and the thickness of the chipboard gives me that effect.

The "faux" blanket stitching is using my black sharpie marker

pink gltter adore her hat brim and ball

I hand drew the face using black and orange markers with a white gel pen for the dots of her eyes

I hand wrote "Winter Thyme" and continued with my doodling over the sign

The small pink snowflakes are actually a mini punch

bling completes the middle of the snowflake

the hanger is using hemp cord tied in a knot

You can hang this lil' girl anywhere....on the wall, door knob, hook, peg, shelf, hutch, etc.
