Wedding Tile

I LOVE my Silhouette Cameo! I made this for my husbands son Brian as a wedding gift. 

Love Butterflies Wall Art

So excited that my shadow box was shipped and I was able to create this beautiful piece of wall art for my cousin as a surprise! That is, if she isn't following my blog, which I don't think she is. I used my Silhouette Cameo and a cut file to create the butterflies and then I wrote the name with my Silhouette using the Silhouette pens. I just love how it turned out! 

Mousey Vacation Spot

Today I decided to add a little humor to my hallway. Using my silhouette machine and an image I found online I traced this and cut it out on vinyl. 

1st Vinyl Tile Project Redo

For my personal tile I decided to redo the wedding date at the bottom. You can see in the post that I posted yesterday. how it is different. I enlarged the font and now I like it better! I am going to seal it, and in a few days my stand should have arrived and I can find a place in my home to display my work of art! 

Family Established Tile

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend holiday with your family and friends! After the festivities I spent my days trying to attempt my first vinyl letter tile. I am quite fond of it and I really have seen so many wonderful ideas with tile and vinyl I am excited to keep on using up my vinyl until it is all gone! 

Anysoldier Holiday Cards Finished!

All that fun card making over the last month, using up my scraps of patterned papers and what nots sure paid off! I had a set of assorted holiday cards to send to the other participants in the Anysoldier Card Swap group on Facebook! I am looking forward to seeing all the cards I get back in return to include in my holiday care package to the soldiers currently serving. It sure makes you feel good to think maybe you just might brighten up a soldiers day after all they go through for this country! 

Holiday in Green

Holiday in Purple

Celebrate Snow 2

Using same layout as in the last card but changing the color of the card to shades of pink.

Celebrate Snow

I wish I could take credit for this card design but I found a card on Pinterest as my inspiration for this lovely card! I ran out of white card stock, and also of white blank cards to use but I still had these brown ones to keep my crafty mojo going so I found the perfect card to create.
 You will find the card I used for my inspiration here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1135499?&cat=7606

Scrapping Holiday 2

Here is another card I created using up scraps' of not only papers but the ribbon was also from scraps left over. 

A Scrappy Holiday Card

It feels good to create such a pretty card by using up the little scraps!  Add a little holiday bling and a holiday sentiment and before you know it you could have a dozen of these whipped up and all of your scrapps finally cleared out! 

What does Snowballs and Toothache medicine have in common?

You got it! Tiny little snowballs to use on your cards! They pack these little boxes full of these little cotton balls and I have found they are perfect for using as snowballs! I think this box was in my mothers medicine cabinet for 10 years and I have saved it at least another 10 or so years, I'm a craft supply hoarder, I  knew I might use these for something one day! :D 

Simple Holiday Card 3

For this simple card I followed a card I had found on Pinterest for inspiration and created a holiday card in mostly shades of red but added a little holiday green on the back of the sentiment. 

Simple Holiday card 2

The second card I made in a set of 5 just like it today was this beautiful holiday card in shades of blue. I kind of took this card from Pinterest for inspiration and it is almost exactly like the card I used for my inspiration. It was quick and easy plus I used up more scraps!

Simple Holiday Card 1

Happy Friday Ya'all! Today I decided to mess up my recently cleaned and organized craft room, play with some scrap papers and make a few holiday cards. First card in the set of 5 just like it. 

Boo Your Neighbor!

Working on Booing two of my neighbors! Feel free to copy these off for yourself. I will punch a hole in the ghost so that the recipient can hang from their door knob. Stay tuned to see the finished project!

Decorating Postal Box

I finished my cards for the Anysoldier Fall themed card swap on Facebook and decided I need a festive box to send my assortment of cards to my designated soldiers unit. Using the same color of cardstock paper used in the cards I made to swap with the other group members I made colorful panels that I will be decorating with stamps, bats and halloween related goodies. 

Halloween Themed Cards

It is that time of year again to make the Fall themed cards for the Anysoldier Card Swap group on facebook. I love using up my scraps. These decorative papers have been around a few years in my stash they sure make  for a festive colorful card! 

A Bestie Birthday!

Using the free downloadable calendar from the Digistamps4Joy shop and a Bestie digi image I created this stand alone desktop calendar. I cannot think of the proper name, but I used "fluff" for the fuzz on the hat, A cupcake, sun, bird and little mouse stickers.

Challenges Entered: 
1. Digistamps4Joy
2. Bestie Challenge

Amour Card

Using a set of Stampin Up stamps I created this card. It is very similar to one I had found on Pinterest for inspiration. I have made a set of 20 cards like this to include in the 2015 AnySoldier All Occasion card swap group on Facebook.

Painted Pistachio Flower

Yesterday I used the shells from pistachio's and turned them into flowers. Today I took one and using finger nail polish decided to paint it up! 

What can I do with them now? Any ideas?

Pistachio Flowers

Independence Day Craft Project: Seen it on Pinterest, just

 had to try it.

 shells and attaching to cardboard using hot glue.
