altered hand sanitizer

these are the hand sanitizers from the dollar tree. They come two in a pack for $.50! The ribbon is from pink journey, its the first ribbon and it was cut at 2.25''x2.5'' with DS.

first slider card

Not my best work, but pretty good I think for my first try! I had an issue doing one of these because I do not own any punches, with the exception of 3 MS border punches, so I had no way to punch out the semi circle as indicated by the directions, so I improvised, TFL!

new stuff,

Part one of my attempt to take over the spare room...
This is the newest addition to my craftroom, aka my corner of the spare room that is slowly growing. I'm very excited about this for many reasons
A. 50% off scrapbooking storage at michaels (ended sat.)
B. My mommy bought it for me, so it was essentially FREE.
C. I put it together all by myself and I didn't even mess it up! woohoo
This is part of a large set, I intend to collect them all!
