*Had to use glossy accents on the nose since dog's always have wet noses :O)

*I used Aqua Delight twine to match the color of the dog collar.

Whatcha Been Doing This Summer Blog Hop!

 

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to the "Whatcha Been Doing This Summer" blog hop!  I'm so happy you could join me and my super talented Thankful Thursday Designers :O)  For this month's hop, my designers and I wanted to know what you have been doing this summer, and share some of the trouble of what we've been up to.  Here are my projects:

*I am lucky enough to get to teach a Papercrafting class.  It's so super fun, and I've had a total blast getting to know the ladies!  We recently finished a session, so I wanted to make them a little something to thank them for being in my class.

Here's what I used:

*Create a Critter Cricut cartridge - owl

*Jaded Blossom - sentiment stamp, Friendly Kisses stamp set

*Peachy Keen Animal Faces

 

*We've also spent some time outdoors this hot season.  My husband is a runner, and participated in his first mud run.  It's just what it sounds like.  They run a course with obstacles, including some mud pits!  Fun, but dirty :O)

*His team had an 80's theme, so we decided to make him a "Frankie" t-shirt. 

*Square 1 has some iron on material (in addition to the adhesive fabric), and it was the perfect solution for my project!

*So totally awsome, and radical right?!?!?  Lol!  If you'd like to see the full post with video, and a picture of what this shirt looked like AFTER the mud run, click HERE. (This will open up in another window so you won't get de-railed in the hop!)

*I also taught a kids Papercrafting class for a little while this summer.  This is the 2nd year I've done it, and my two older girls and I really love it!  It's a great bonding experience :O)

*We made a bunch of different projects.  This one was door hangers for their rooms.  Here's what I used:

*Art Philosophy - door hanger

*Sesame Street Seasons Cricut cartridge - bug character

*Close to My Heart - letter stamps

*Peachy Keen - June Stamp of the Month (frog and turtle on the other side)

 

*It was really fun to see how the kids decorated their projects and how their personalities came out.

Kids Krafts Krafty Kreations

Hi Everybody!

Crazyaboutcricut is my mom.  I love to craft with my mom.  Here is a project we made together. 

Here is the inside:

Here is the back:

It's Me again.  Isn't this the cutest!  One day we took my Cricut out onto the table in the backyard, and made some projects. She's 7 years old, so I thought the Create a Critter would be a cart she could layer herself.  She did a great job!  I love that my daughter is as crazy about crafting as I am, and is just as crazy about cricut as her mom!  (She actually wants to have a Cricut birthday, with the Cricut head and everything!)  I hope everyone had a chance to craft today, especially if you have a kid to craft with!
