The suede element on my card is the faux suede leaves. If you have not worked with these leaves you are missing out! They come in seven different colors and are sold by the yard with approximately 17-18 leaves per yard. The can be stuffed and decoratively stitched too! This is the first time using Lippy Red colored Kaiser Adhesive gems! I love this color!
My bloom is cut using Spellbinders Blossoms Three dies found HERE. They're on sale too! The papers on my creation today are from the above Cosmo Cricket paper, Odds & Ends. What a darling pad of paper. I love the quality and variety of pages. This pad includes 36 pages that have elements that can be cut apart and used separately on your creations. I love that bonus!

Here is that scrumptious 1/4" ringlet trim I love using for the edges of my creations. I apply my 1/4" scortape to the back and peel as I go around the outer edge placing top edge on the front side of the ornament and the bottom trim edge on the back side. This trim is very pliable allowing easy application. Silk ribbon used, ScorTape and trim are all found at

While shopping recently at Michaels, I found wonderful wooden boxes, all shapes and sizes for only 99 cents each! This first box, a star, has a removable lid with strong inset magnets in the lid and box body that hold the lid firmly in place. The finish on these boxes is nice and smooth, another plus, especially for only 99 cents. I covered this box with our grandson in mind, he's in love right now with choo choo trains, and this
