Do your kids ever complain that they are bored and have nothing to do?  Well, we made this Bored Box to solve that problem.  It is filled with things that we came up with that they can do when they are bored.  They just pull one out of the box and they’ve got something to do.  We came up with a variety of things including look at scrapbooks, read a book, watch a movie, play outside, draw a picture, play piano, fix your hair, put a puzzle together, paint your nails, etc.  I have two preteen girls so this is what works for them.  You can customize it to suit your children’s ages and what they are interested in.  This is originally designed to be a bucket list box but you can really make it into whatever you want (photo box, learning tool, etc.).

Add these items to your order to create the workshop bonus project:

I used these layouts as one-pagers instead of two-pagers.  When I first got the new idea book I was disappointed that I didn’t like this workshop better, but now that I’ve done it I love the pages and all the bling on them.

Come back tomorrow to see the bonus project (bucket list box) that coordinates with this workshop.

The Sharing from the Heart Blog Hop is a mixture of Close to My Heart consultants and customers who have come together to share their projects.  The hop makes a circle so if you have started here, just continue until you make your way back.  If you are coming from Adeline’s Blog, then you are on the right path.

This month’s theme choices were: SOTM, Valentine, or Winter.  I chose Valentine’s.

Supplies used are all CTMH: Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, My Creations Banner, Sweetheart Paper Pack, Silver Brads, Mad About You stamp set (December SOTM), Bling Assortment Buttons, Black Waxy Flax, 3D foam tape, Crochet Flowers, and Cotton Candy, Black, & Tulip inks.

This paper was on clearance for only $3 for the pack.  It was one of my favorites so I just had to get another one.  When we had Valentines as an option for this blog hop it arrived at the perfect time.  At first I was going to make a card, then I thought maybe a layout, then I remembered that I wanted banners for holidays throughout the year.  There is plenty of paper in a paper pack so I decided to go for it and the great thing is I would have it done for the upcoming holiday!

I cut the scalloped pennants using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge at 7″.  I cut cardstock for the base on the ones that I used B&T paper on.  I also mounted all the pieces on the My Creations chipboard Banner.  One thing I noticed when I used the inside and out of the banners and I flipped some over to use the different patterns on the paper…the inside piece did not match up if I flipped it over.  You’d think that with this pattern it wouldn’t matter but it must be off a little, just enough to not line up.  On those pieces I added embellishments to cover up the space.  Next time I make one, if I use this same pattern, I will use the cardstock as my base again and just use one piece of B&T paper so I don’t have to worry about it matching up exact.  Letters are also cut with the Art Philosophy cartridge at 2″.

Here’s closer pictures because it looks much better when you can see it up close.

This was the journal that I was talking about a couple days ago.  It was a gift for my 5th grade daughter’s last minute gift exchange for a girl.  This was the easiest one I’ve made yet because of the paper my daughter picked out for it.  The back is a solid of the pink paper.  I didn’t plan to add the tab but the paper was hanging over a bit so in my attempt to fix it I made a bigger problem when I cut the notebook.  The tab was my solution and I thought she could put her name on it.  We made due with what we had for this gift, filling a bag with this journal, the decorated paint can that I posted a couple days ago, and some lip gloss.  I wasn’t sure about it but it was what we had.  Stephanie came home and said the girl that got it loved it so I guess it was okay!

I just love adding my own little touch to things.   This is just a plain coaster set but I added rubons to give them some extra flair.  It’s very simple to do to make change something from ordinary to extraordinary.  These were a grandparent gift for Christmas with pictures of the new babies.  I had to get a little creative to come up with an idea for the fourth coaster since there were only three babies.  I like how it turned out as a complete set.  Scrap supplies are DCWV vellum quote matted on cardstock, and misc. rubons from my stash.
