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:

   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!
