Sweet Nugget Matchboxes

 



Sweet Nugget Matchboxes

These little nugget boxes will fit 4 of the Hershey's Chocolate Nuggets. Pattern includes small wraps that can be cut from coordinating papers and wrapped around each little candy. Great favors for parties, showers and weddings.

You have the option of a solid cover box cover or give a sneak peek inside the treat box with one of the 3 window shapes. It always nice to have options.

I actually designed these little nuggets back in April of this year, and Ruthie Nixon at September Ninth Blogspot did up some adorable samples for Mother's Day and Father's Day. You can see all the photos on her blog.

Flutterby Paper Piecing & Mixed Media

Carmen Lucero is an artist who creates beautiful mixed media artwork on canvas. She is also a cancer survivor and created this special canvas for her Oncology department.

She was so kind to share the photo with us and I have enjoyed gazing at it, discovering new things each time I open it to look. We knew we just had to share this with our readers.

There's a lot to explore in this piece of art. Carmen said, "I painted the background with acrylics . It's a forest scene with mountains and a road in the foreground. I then used several different kinds of media to finish it up; more acrylic paint, stamps, rub-ons and different textures." The little girl in the front is is actual paper piecing of Flutterby, a recent Tiddly Inks pattern at MyScrapChick. There's many positive words here and there and one message reads...


Happiness is like a butterfly,
when you go after it
it goes away...
but when you stand still...
it comes to you.


Carmen displays her art in a local cafe and this particular canvas has already sold. Easy to understand why. She says she's working on more, particularly one she's already titled Hope. And we Hope we get a glimpse of her future art. Beautiful! Thank you Carmen.
