Jeanines B-day blog hop

Hello my friends,

My friend asked me to join her B-day Blog Hop and I was honored. I made a table decoration for a B-day party. The paper was Colorblok "so sweet" page kit. I used Something To Celebrate Cricut cartridge for most of the images, except the pinwheel was a die from MFT. I used Stickles to add some sparkle to the cupcake and the "smile" token. The hat and the pinwheel are 3D, so it has some nice dimension.The tin can was from the dollar spot at Target and the presents are Jolee's. The trim is from my supply and the flower on the top of the hat are from Michales. Happy Birthday my friend!! Below you will see the list of blogs to hop to. Have a great day!

M.A.G. challenge #53

Hello my friend,
I hope you are all ready for Thanksgiving and the black Friday deals. I love to shop on black friday, but I'm not seeing any deals this year.What are you going shopping for?

I started a baby album for a friend at work and need to finish by the 5th of December, because she will be back from maternity leave-ugh! Tonight I did a page for the MAG challenge. The challenge was to use Sweet Treats cart pg 70 only. I cut the tag for journaling and added a cute little foam bear. The paper is from K&C-snuggle bug collection. The cordinating page has a large bear, so I thought this would be a great place for her to journal on.

Enjoy your holiday weekend!

3-D house

Good afternoon,
This is a project for a friends challenge to use Sweet Tooth Box cartridge. I made the house and let me tell you it was very difficu;t with one hand in a sling. I hope to try this again once my wrist is better. The paper is all from my never-ending stash. Enjoy your day and thanks for looking. Take care,

shoe card

Hello my friends,
Thanks for sticking with me even though I haven't been posting much lately. Things at my house are a little crazy right now. DS had some toe surgery and now has MRSA, so he is going for testing and specialist while I tried to do the right thing and I'm now in a splint. I was coming home from work and saw a girl getting beat, so I called 911 and tried to pull her away, but the guy didn't  like that idea. He ended up squeezing and twisting my wrist, which I let go for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks of still pain I went for X-ray and it is fractured. I now will spend at least 5-6 weeks in a splint. Boy, you never realize how much you use your non-dominat hand til you can't.

After a long few weeks I got together with a friend and actually made a card(2 of the same, to be exact). I used Graphic 45 paper the OZ collection,Crafty Secrets stamps and the Tie the knot Cricut cart for the shoe. The shoe also has glossy accents and stickles to add some shine with a little bling. Hope you like it. I hope to get some more crafting done, but it is a challenge in this brace. Have a great day.

Diaper tricycle

Hello my friends,
It has been crazy trying to get school stuff ready and fitting in a little travel, so I haven't been crafting at all. Tonight I have a diaper tricycle that I made for a friend at work. The idea came from my friend Paulette at scraplette.blogspot.com( around the block with Scraplette). This item uses diapers, receiving blankets, washclothes, bibs,socks and a bottle. It took some time to make, but I think she will love it. Thanks for the idea Paulette.

I hope everyone has had a great summer. I hope to get crafting again after the scrap expo I'm going to this weekend. Have a wonderful evening.

Disney concentration

Hello my friends,

Things have been crazy here with my kids schedules, my schedule and the weather so I haven't found much time to create lately. I finally was able to work on a game for the Cricut Monthly challenge-ROAD TRIP. The challenge was to make something game, organiztion, snack holder,journal, anything for a trip. My friend is going to take her 2 kids to Disney so I made a concentration game for them to play on the airplane. The kids are only 2 1/2 and 3 1/2, so I only made a few cards, so they wouldn't get frustrated. I hope to make them a Buzz set also before they go. The cart I used was Mickey and Friends, I will also be laminating these for them. Simple but fun! Thanks for looking. It is hard to see in photo, but the cards say-Mickeys hat, Minnies bow, Goofys hat, Plutos bone and Mickeys hand.

Cricut circle magazine challenge

Hello,

Tonight I have a project I made for the Cricut Circle magazine challenge-make it your way. The challenge was to take an idea from the magazine and make it your own. I decided to make a 9" wodden doll that I got at a circle meet-up and turn her into a crafter. I painted her peach with MM paint, let dry and began to cut clothes from Everyday Paper Dolls cart. I "painted" her nails with a Sharpie, added a bling ring,earrings and necklace and popped up her apron pockets. The stamp on her apron is from Stampin Up many years ago. The face is stamped with Happy Lashes Peachy Keen stamp and then chalk for her cheeks and mouth. The hair was a bag of indiv. pieces from Hobby Lobby(what a pain that was)! Have a nice night.

Eiffel Tower meets Teresa Collins

Hello my friends,
I made one of my favorite projects this weekend. I had gotten an Eiffel Tower wood cut-out from a Cricut Circle meet-up and wasn't sure what to do with it. This weekend I got thinking and came up with a great project. I had the honor of helping Teresa Collins in her class at the Dallas Stampede and decided I would use a photo from that day and her line "Timeless". Everything on the tower is from TC line except for the string of pearls I added to highlight the necklace Teresa was wearing. The sides are glittered with Martha Stewart white/clear glitter. I LOVE this project and I can't wait to show Teresa. Have a great Sunday.

Happy Saturday

Happy Saturday my friends,
I'm sorry I haven't posted any crafty creations in a few days, but I'm working on redecorating my kitchen. You know how one thing leads to another...well thats what happened. Our ice maker at home leaked all over so hubby decided to get a new stainlees steel fridge and I didn't want everything to not match, so we ended up with all new stainless appliances. So now since it is stainless we had to change the cabinet knobs from brass to stainless and figured we should repaint and do new counters-ugh!! We have stainless appliances,med wood cabinets and I can't figure out what color to paint and for the counters. I was thinking black counters, but what for the walls?? Any suggestions? This is keeping me up at night.

The appliances will be here Tuesday, so painting tomorrow, if I can figure out what color. Please make suggestions. I will be back to crafting soon. Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter.
