Banner and Cupcakes for Shutterfly

I was selected as a Host through House Party to host a Shutterfly house party. Yesterday was the "Shutterfly Making Spirits Brighter House Party" day! So, I made a banner and some cupcake signs to help decorate for the party. Shutterfly's colors are orange and white, so that's what I went with! I used George and Basic Shapes. If you haven't checked out Shutterfly, I highly recommend them. I store my pictures on their site, have created a sharing site for my family on there for free. I have ordered several photo books and prints through them and am very pleased with how they came out.

Halloween Goodie Bags

These were just a last minute idea with my son for his cousins. Ghost from Paperdoll dressup, Boo from Wild Card, played around with Martha Stewart drippy goo punch. Inked all the edges. Bag toppers are from a Halloween printable party kit that I won courtesy of Peas and Thank you's. (The kit is by Paper Glitter.)

Another hour or so it will be time to take my little guy Trick or Treating! Happy Halloween everyone :) Pin It

"Fall" Card

This is the first card or anything I have made with Everyday Paper Dolls cart, also Peachy Keen Stamps (I finally got a set :)). It's suppose to look like she is throwing the leaves in the air. It doesn't really show but I bent her arms out, so they stick out in front of her. The leaves were from a punch. Happy Fall! Pin It

Storage idea - candy jars

Has anybody else seen these cute plastic candy jars they have out in the Halloween candy section? I found these at Walmart.

Are you thinking what I am thinking about them? After the candy is gone, these will make cute jars for our craft rooms! :)

October Cuts

These cuts were made for me from my October Cut RAK wishes over at the Cricut Message board under RAK'S & Swaps. You can post 5 wishes each month and somebody with that cart will cut and send them to you. That way you can get cuts from carts you don't have. And in return you grant someone else's wishes if you can. This is 2 of my 5 wishes. Dreamer633 made me the paper pups cuts and CraftyMomma made the Halloween ones from Happy Hauntings. Thank you ladies :)

Anyways if you have never done this before you should head over and check it out. ( This is my first time doing it) Great way to get some cuts and share some cuts :) Pin It

Altered journal jar and notebook

Today is 10-10-10

I made this for one of my favorite teenage cousins :) She requested one awhile back, after I made the one's for Mother's Day.

I used an old plastic peanut container for the journal strips and then altered the notebook to match it. Hope she likes it. There are tons of questions in there for her to journal about, things she can look back and read later in life.

I am entering this in " Alter it"  at The One Stop Crafting Challenge Blog

Milk Jug Skeleton

I found this idea through the Fabulously Artsy blog, she had a Halloween blog hop linky and this is one of the projects linked on there. It is from All Good Things Come to Them that Thwaits blog. HERE is the link to her tutorial, if you want to make one too.

We used 3 1/2 milk jugs, some wire and crop a dile and eyelets. My husband done the cutting :)

And also I see I finally have 50 followers! Yay. Thank you to all my followers :)

Suitcase

 This is a suitcase I made using a tutorial from the wonderful Leslie at Divine Designs. As soon as I seen her tutorial I started mine and she since has made a challenge. Suitcase Challenge. here is the link to her Tutorial.

Mine comes no where close to as beautiful as hers, but she did inspire me to give it a try. I just used what supplies I had.  Sanded some of the edges. Inked, etc. Not perfect but here is what mine looks like :)

"Thanks" Cards

So I haven't posted anything in so long. I had been playing around with digi scrapbooking for part of the time and I have been trying to create things but just not having much luck. I have several things started and just can not find any crafty mojo to decorate and finish the stuff... 

I did make another Birthday Altered 2-Liter, this time for my niece's 8th birthday. But wouldn't you know, just my luck, I forgot to get a picture of it. I even had it sitting around for a couple weeks before I gave it to her. And it turned out really cute, maybe I will make up another one similar to it.

Part of my lack of posting is my motherboard went out in my regular computer and I was using our old slow one. Not fun. It loaded pages worst than dial up at times. 

Anyhow here are some cards I made recently. I am not a very good card maker, but these turned out okay. I used the wild card cartridge.

70 Sucks Bouquet

Made this bouquet for my dear Grandmother. She turned 70 this year. I was very pleased with how this one turned out!!

The "70 Sucks" was done with SCAL. The Happy Birthday and the frame its on were both from a cartridge, I think it was Wild Card. Pin It

Bieber Fever Tile

My step sister has the "Bieber Fever" and her room is decked out with posters of him, so I made her this plaque for her Birthday, to add to her room! (I used black vinyl, cut it with the SCAL program on my Cricut Expression.)

The svg file for Justin Bieber came from HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Pin It

Happy Birthday 2-liter

I have been wanting to make one of these for a very long time now!! This was for my step sister's birthday. I filled it up with goodies inside for her! I used the Martha Stewart Lace border punch around the edges. It was my first time doing the ribbon pleating as well! I think it turned out pretty good!
