It's a Snowball of Fun!

Good Morning Crafty World!!! This weeks SVGAttic Design Team project that I put together was used as my gift exchange at work...

So this year for a gift exchange I decided to put together
these little boxes and have a snowball in each box.



I made white fudge into BIG balls, well then ate them
so I had to come up with something new...lol...
The final 'snowball' was a .....

 





 

 


 Giant CAKE BALL!!

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix

1 (16 ounce) container prepared chocolate frosting

1 (3 ounce) bar chocolate flavored confectioners coating



Directions


1. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended.


2. Melt chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.


3. Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the chocolate cake mixture. Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.

As you can see I used white candy making coating on the outside just so it would be white...I have made these before with the chocolate flavored coating...and it was much better, but it served it's purpose, and I really like how they all turned out...oh and the white fudge was incredible...lol...this is the recipe I used but I put in just about a half cup of walnuts and it was still really good...I just could not get it to form into a ball  really well without working it...ALOT...so the cake balls were my first choice anyway....and the kids still liked them, so they were eatable...

What made this project so fun was that as I was making each of these boxes and each of the snowmen/women...I was thinking about each of the coworkers that were getting them...they took some time to make just because I wanted each of them to represent each of the people that were getting them...but the boxes itself was way easy and fun, and even the snowmen went together well ... it's just that I took time for each of them so I could have lots of thought and love into each one of them. As my coworkers are more like family then they are coworkers...we have a small office and we get along well, for the most part...



The 2nd project that I put together was just a little New Years Party Pack...

How fun will this be posted at my workstation?


Some 2012 glasses and a table center piece and well a really cool banner...so fun...so easy...and such a bad background on the picture, I should have ironed the darn thing...lol...but the glasses are just perfect fit for just about anyone...I love them...used transparency film for the lens and plain black card stock and some blue glitter card stock from ColorBok (sold at Walmart a while back) I just love this card stock called Pearlescent Paper, it came with a hot pink, yellow, lime green, this blue that I used and a purple...and being the paper hoarder that I am ... I just hate to use the last piece, but good think there were 4 pages of each color and I had 2 left...lol...now I am down to my last blue...oh well .... the project was just perfect with this card stock. Oh and I forgot to mention I also used Pearls paper by Core'dinations Cardmakers Series...and just a small part of velum for the 'liquid' in the glasses...all that detail is hard to see but it's there...heehee....

Well off to work I go...Hope everyone is ready for the New Year...I know that 2011 was not the greatest year for me in many ways, so I am looking forward to a new start with 2012...

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

It's a Cold Winter!!!!

Ok, so I got some time to make something special for a friend of ours. I used the Winter's Chill SVG Kit from SVGCuts.com. So it took me a few tries to get it right, but I really like the way it turned out...
I also made the fun never ending, double sliding card from Lori Whitlock. Lori designs for Silhouette America.  I just love that I can buy 1 file for .99 from the online store for the Silhouette Program that I use with my Cameo... I thought that if I bought the Designer Edition that it would knock my socks off. As that it has the ability to read .svg files....and with all the SVGCuts.com files that I own, this was very important for me to be able to cut these many files. Also being a Designer for SVGAttic.com I HAD to have all the possible ways to cut with my Cameo...Now the SCAL3 is ok but it still has some bugs to work out...I keep checking to see if its working as well as the Silhouette Designer Edition, but with both I get the job done...
Ok enough of the talk/typing....
Here is the Winter's Chill SVG kit and the coolest card ever by Lori Whitlock....






I hope you enjoyed..

Merry Christmas....
Thank you to all my followers, making this fun for me...Hope you have a wonderful time with whatever you do ... I hope you can enjoy family like me....

Hey to all my new and old followers...I am so enjoying that I have peps to watch my blog...I hope you choose to stick around and watch my crafty ways develop...
Today and every Tuesday, is my time to shine for SVGAttic.com and share what I have come up with using Jessica Brashaw's talents...

This week I used the Stop N Shop SVG Collection & the Santa's Little Helpers ....
I always like to find ways to re purpose files...this way you can learn how to use files in different applications.
This was made with AC Card stock, some white rick-rack, candy canes, used some DCWV patterned papers. I covered some hot chocolate pouches and in they went...What a great and simple gift...hope the receiver of this gift likes it...lol...most of all I hope I inspired someone to re purpose their files...

Happy Craft'n

It's A Monday of MyGrafico ....

So some last minute crafting for gifts... I used the Christmas Friends Clip Art




To print and cut these great little gift bags full of Christmas goodies...



So Easy!!!

Print the Clip Art on some card stock...
Remember if you want it front and back that you put your images facing different directions...so when you fold the long strip of paper(at whatever size you choose, I made mine using the full length of an 8 1/5 x 11 sheet of card stock, I was only able to get 1 bag out of each page, but I wanted it wider)
Then cut a top accent color card stock
Punch 2 holes to tie the ribbon through...
Whala you have a little gift bag thing...
Add a tag and you are set for the last minute gifts for the class mates...
easy enough you can have your little ones help with this one...
You don't even have to have many supplies either...
Printed Card stock
Plain Colored Card stock, to coordinate
Ribbon
Baggies to hold the goodies inside...
that's about it...

Hope you have enjoyed this little tutorial of my cute gift bags using

Please remember that MyGrafico is having the GREAT give away....
