Artist Trading Cards

I recently learned about ATC's and thought I'd give them a try. They are small but fun to work with. Here is one I made to pass along to someone else..

Empty Cigar Box

While I was out shopping I came across a bunch of empty wooden cigar boxes. I thought they would be something I could use my imagination with. I was full of ideas. I could make pretty jewelry boxes out of them, keepsake boxes, use them for storage...The ideas were limitless. I bought a bunch of them, various sizes, and the first one I really put thought into was one for my sister. Mod Podge, scrap book paper, embellishments, hinges, and knobs..I lined the inside but forgot to take a picture...

The front says "Far Far Away"

Mouse Trap Magnet

The other day while browsing I came across some really cute mouse trap Magnets. I spent some time thinking about how I could make my own and I came up with this one...

I think I'll be making some more and giving them away as Christmas gifts this year. They are useful and hold things neatly in place. I would have never thought a mouse trap would become a nice craft project.

Sock Snowman

While browsing I found this cute little sock snowmen and I just had to make some of them.

I'm not good at sewing so these were right up my alley. I was only going to make one but found out that they are very addicting to make and fun to dress up so I've made several. I'm always looking for easy things to make and give as Christmas gifts, so this year everyone will be getting a cute little snowman. I've found so many cute things to make I'm not sure which project will be next.Here is one of my completed sock snowmen.
