Cocoa & Crafts #6!

Hello again! As my dad used to say when he would mispronounce my real name as tomorra, instead of Tamara, I'm a day late and a dollar short. Actually, I'm a week late, and we won't get into the finances. 

If you remember from my last post, my craft room was a disaster as we rearranged a few rooms in our house. In case you don't already know, paper crafts are not my only hobby. I also enjoy painting, sewing and cake decorating and a myriad other crafts that all come with their own supplies and tools. Obviously the cake decorating stuff is in the kitchen area (well, most of it, anyway), and my papercrafts are in what was probably supposed to be a family room in this house that we turned into a craft/school room, but my sewing supplies and other miscellaneous craft goodies were tucked in the tiniest bedroom in the house. Long story short, I now have a new sewing/guest room that is wonderfully organized and spacious and just two steps from my craft room. I love it! Here's a couple pictures of my new space. 

My sewing corner. 

Handsome hubby built shelves into the closet alcoves to store my misc. boxes. 

I am so very grateful to be able to have this space to work. My first order of business in there is to make a dress for my daughter for her upcoming prom. (You can get a peek of the fabric on the desk.) 

Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update on the room progress and happy to report it is all finished and my craft room is back to its normal state. I would say clean, but that's definitely not its normal state. 😊

On to our first project for this month's Cocoa & Crafts! This stamp set is so stinkin' adorable! I love it! This is not my original idea. I cased it from Chris over at Buckeye Inklings.  If you check out this post of hers she also used the sliding lock on a card. 

Here are the measurements for our treat box:

• Base 7 1/2 x 10 3/4
• scored short side at 1 3/4, 2 1/8, 5 3/8, 5 3/4
• scored long side at 4, 4 3/8, 8 3/8, 8 3/4
• DSP 3 3/4 x 3
• DSP 1 3/4 x 3
• White 3 3/4 x 3 
• Adhesive foam piece 3/8 x 3/4

And if you didn't get a kit, here's what you would need to replicate this super cute box. 

I will close this here. I need to video our second project so I can get it posted this Thursday instead of next week. 

Till next time...

God's love and blessings!!
