Below you’ll find my Kreation for today – so be sure to scroll down.
My Aunt Mary (AKA Stampin’ Pretty) has
double tagged me!! So, here are the
rules of the game and my answers.
The rules of the game: Each player answers questions about
themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts
their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them
know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who
tagged you know when you’ve posted your answers.
TAG #1
Ten Years Ago: I was earning my
bachelors degree in Psychology at the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater.
Five things in today’s ‘to do’ list (in addition to stamping):
- Drop my son off at school
- Go to work – at my “real” job as a Sales & Marketing Assistant
- Make a grocery list
- Do dishes
- Stalk Splitcoaststampers.com
Snacks I enjoy: Ruffles Chips & French Onion dip, sharp
cheddar cheese on triscuits, and CANDY! (sweet-tarts, spree’s, skittles, ooo
and chocolate covered gummy bears)
Things I would do if I was a millionaire: Buy a house, furnish the house, have my own craft room & a
special room for my husband for guitar playing, and go all out in my son’s
room. Buy a black Volkswagen Jetta (I’ve
always wanted one). Go on an all
inclusive family vacation every year.
Share money with my parents and brother.
Donate to Susan G. Komen For the Cure.
Places I have lived: Hubert, North Carolina as a baby. Wisconsin for the rest of my life. Deerfield, Whitewater, Madison, Dodgeville, and McFarland.
TAG #2
7 weird facts
about me (edited to add 2 that I just remembered)
- I met my husband of 5 years through Match.com
- I wanted to be an interior designer (for a while had dreams about being a marine
biologist – until I realized that meant working with all fish – I liked whales
& dolphins – that’s so funny now that I think about it), but instead
chose business real estate as my major, and finally switched to Psychology with
a Sociology minor.
- I LOVE music but very rarely do I
listen to it.
- I’m not cut out to be a Mommy, but I have an
awesome 4 year old son that is the love of my life. I’m also a step-mom to a 12 year old girl
and 11 year old boy.
- Diamonds aren’t this girls best
friend. I would prefer a big fat Ruby
for my wedding ring.
- Modern Musicals are one of my favorite
types of movies. Across the Universe
& Moulin Rouge to name a few.
- I fall “in love” with movie stars, TV stars, and singers very easily.
- I am a reality TV junkie
- I love cartoons - odd cartoons and I love animated movies (Pixar, Disney)
I now tag these talented stampers and bloggers. These women are all part of a swap group that I've recently joined.
And now on to my Kreation... I CASE'D (Copy and Share for
Everyone) the criss cross box and card style.
Get more details on the inspiration pieces by visiting my
SCS gallery and logging in. More photos, including individual shots
of each card and the box are in my
Kreations Gallery.
Download the tutorial to make the criss cross box here.
I used Papertrey Ink Honey Bees stamp set, Stampin' Up! Fall Flowers designer series paper, Old Olive, Really Rust, River Rock, and Soft Sky (cardstock and ink) for this project.
Great projects! And thanks for the link to the site for the tutorial.

I think you should submit this project to papercrafts or cards magazine. Wow. I forgot about Ruffles and dip . . . one of my diversions, too!
