I'm Adela and I live in sunny Southern California with my
husband and our two teenage girls! Crafting has been a passion
of mine since I was a little girl. I love to sew, crochet, knit,
draw, paper craft, stamp... I love anything related to crafting!
With encouragement from many people, my love of paper crafting
in 3D has led me to open a website which allows me to share some
of my template designs. I feel so blessed and I truly believe that
God has given everyone their own special talents and it is our
privilege to share it with others.


The winner will receive 2 templates of his/her choice from Creations by AR!


I have to tell you I was a little intimidated by the caddy template when I first saw the directions, but it was really easy to put together once I got started!  I embellished the caddy with some paper by DCWV, a scalloped circle (to cover where the 12x12 paper left a gap) and some chipboard apples from Target's Dollar Spot.  I didn't have anyone in mind for this caddy so I left it empty, but it would be SO cute filled with crayons, pencils, erasers, etc.  :)


For the tag, I used an image by CCM which was cut out and colored with my Copics and added to a chipboard branch from Colorbok.  I embellished with a sentiment sticker from Joann's and some gingham ribbon found in my stash.  


I'm so happy with how simple but cute this caddy project was- I'll probably use this template again for Halloween treats or Christmas gifts!  I hope you enjoyed my project, thanks so much for stopping by!
