Toy's Haven

  Good morning, my friends!

Don’t let my title fool ya!   I am in a great mood and not blue at all, except my projects are blue!

First off, I needed a box to put hubby’s birthday present in, so when I saw Jeanne’s LSC challenge (Holiday Blues) this morning, I thought, HOW PERFECT!   It could not have worked better for me, unless it had  something to do with camo… as camo is my dh’s favorite color! 🙂

The tutorial for this box (explosion box) can be found here on SCS:

Explosion Box on Tutorial at Splitcoaststampers

   I used my Friendship Flowers set from There She Goes to create this little box (measures 2 1/2 inches square.   I can’t tell you yet what I am putting in it, as it is a suprise for hubby!

Here are my deets on this box:

Stamps: Friendship Flowers by There She Goes

Colors: Bashful Blue and Night of Navy

Ink:  Night of Navy

Accessories: ribbon, dimensionals, scalloped circle punches, scoring blade, scissors, sticky tape

  This is his birthday card.   I purchased this Nature Silhouettes set solely for doing his birthday card as he is an avid hunter and outdoorsman.

I tried my best to channel some of Michelle Zindorf’s brayering talent, but I am no Zindorf.   I do think it came out pretty nice, though.   DH will be happy with it as there is a deer on it!    He is a simple man….lol.

So, do you see all the BLUE I have going on in these two projects!?    I am not one to use many blues, unless it is cool caribbean….. which I am nearly out of *sigh*!

Here are the deets on this one:

Stamps:  Nature Silhouettes by SU!

Colors: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Ballet Blue, Glossy White

ink:  Ballet Blue, Graphite Black

Accessories: brads, velvet ribbon, ribbon slider border punch, dimensionals, brayer, circle punch

TFL and have a blessed day!
