UR Beyond Perfection Gift Set

Hello Friends!! Well, today was a good day for crafting! I love good crafting days! Do you see the jar? Well, it's an artichoke jar that I saved. It was sitting in my garage in a container. I wanted to alter a candle but I couldn't find the container that stored my candles. As I was going through containers, I found the jar. Isn't it a pretty shaped jar?

It's funny because there was a time when I would save jars or tin cans just for the purpose of altering them but I saved so many of them and I did not create anything with them so I threw them out. I'm glad I saved the artichoke jar!!

I decided to create a scrappy card today! I love scrappy cards because it's a great way to use up left over scrap pieces. I have a lot alpha chipboards that don't match because I've already used up some of the alphabets so I can't form complete words. I'm glad I found the U and the R. . .it worked out perfectly to complete the sentiment on this card.



Card Details:

Paper: K&CO designer paper, SU Cool Caribbean
Ink: Tim Holtz distressing ink, Scribbles Iridescent Paint
Accessories: K&CO Alpha Chipboards, Martha Stewart Corner Punch, Nestabilities, Lace, trimmings, metal embellishment, Marvy butterfly punch, Making Memories Definitions Sticker

Here is the matching jar created using an artichoke jar. I may just buy more marinated artichokes just for the jar! LOL! All I did basically was adhere the lace and trimming around the jar and stuck the prima flower and butterflies over the lace. I covered the top of the cover with designer paper and adhered the ribbon to side of the cover. Pretty simple!!


I just posted a "fitness challenge" on my fitness blog. Stop by "Fitness Towards Healthiness" to check out the challenge. Come on, let's all get healthy this year! I would love if you would play along!!

I've been in such a mojo slump the past month, I'm just trying to get some of my mojo back. Honestly, everything I do. . .crafting, blogging, taking photos, chores, exercising and even just talking have to come from a positive place or I have difficulties getting anything done. Are you that way? Well, I'm doing a bit of catching up and I think my mojo is slowly returning. It's a new month and I'm feeling enthusiastic and optimistic. Yay!!!

Anyway, hope you all have a beautiful Monday!!!
