Full directions on how to make this fun project is up on the Creative PaperClay Design Team blog!   I had so much fun making this project - and recycling all at the same time!  I also like that I used scrapbook templates to create the eggs and punches/scissors to create the eggs!  Hope you enjoy!   Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme and Creative PaperClay Design Team

I love altered projects - and this project - a great way to create something useful - out of something you would normally throw away!  With this project - it is a cereal box, cut in half to create an awesome organizer!!!   I needed something to hold all of my bigger stuff, like my rulers, paper trimmers - and then smaller sections in front to hold smaller stuff like my scissors, hand held hole punches, and basic tools!   So, lets get started!   Supplies needed for this project: Cereal box with top not torn Tape Adhesive Xacto knife Ruler Paper of your choice Embellishments of your choice Supplies I used:   KI Bakery Twine - bought at Walmart Ribbon from my stash Sizzix flower die cut, various die's Flower paper punch, various punch's Buttons from my stash Colorbok Snow White paper - bought at Walmart Colorbok Watercolor paper - bought at Walmart   Directions: Step one:  Cut the cereal box in half.  Take the top...

I am in love with the Creative PaperClay product...especially when I use molds or my scrapbook templates to create one of a kind - personalized items for my friends and family!  This is a sneak peak - and if you want to see more, with directions - check out the Creative PaperClay Design Team Blog for this idea, as well as many other awesome ideas!   Thanks for stopping by, Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme and Creative PaperClay Design Team

If you scroll down to yesterday's post, you will get a challenge of sorts - to look through your calendar for events in the next 6 weeks that are coming up for you!  More as a way for me to actually GET things done, but also to share with you easy projects that can be made with your basic supplies!   For April, I have a ton of birthdays, including my mom's and Del's mom!  Plus a few other family members' birthdays and Easter all shoved in to a week!!!  Now, since I procrastinate as much as I do, I am going to attempt to get things done and in the mail early, instead of at the very last moment (or not at all)!!!  I hope you will join me!   Supplies needed for card: Happy Birthday stamp Ink pad Present die cuts Scraps of paper 1 solid, 1 pattern Card base w/envelope Directions:   Step one:   Using your card base, take 2 matching colors of paper/cardstock making sure to trim as needed to fit the card.  Take the patterned pape...

If you are like me - you need a bit of reminding to get things actually "done" in time!  I am still finishing up Christmas albums to mail to my family, I am so glad they know that I procrastinate!  These posts are designed to help those of you who are like me, to get things done earlier!  So, grab your calendar or favorite way to organize yourself, and lets get started!   Do you have any birthdays, anniversaries, or things that you need to make a card for coming up in the next 6 weeks?   Going with that - do you have gifts you need to make for said events?  Make a list of those things you might need to buy. Do you need to mail anything to people?  Write on your calendar when the last possible day is for you to get it in the mail, or trust me...that day will go by without things getting done!   Look at the amount of time you have between now and said events, make sure you allow yourself enough time to make what you need to! ...

I've got some great projects I am working on with my Creative PaperClay design team!  Tips up on the blog today - make sure you check out the GREAT Easter projects that my other design team members have done!  Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme and Creative PaperClay Design Team
