Recycled Project

Hi Everyone!
I have a fun project to share today. I saw a few blogs challenging us to recycle. So I thought...OK sounds FUN!
First I grabbed something to recycle hmmm... got it, a peanut can that was ALMOST empty. My hubby got the rest in a snack bag for the day :)

So next I decided what I wanted to use the can for hmmm....craft room, kitchen, got it... the garage. Sounds weird I know but we come into our house through our garage so we (try to) hang our keys on hooks before we walk in but it's so full of spare keys and keys that aren't used everyday and just becomes a mess. So I made this cute little container to put on a shelf to hold all of the spare keys. Now I just need to hang the shelf :) 

The paper is from Core'dinations & Colorbok

The little house cut is from the Jubilee Cricut Cartridge. I welded them together using my gypsy

The flower is from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge largest flower starting at 2.85 & smallest at .85

Other items:

White Gel Pen – Sakura

Twine - Twinery

Challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut - Make a project using a recycled item.

Paper Playtime - Anything goes

The Paper Variety - Include a handmade flower on your project

Have a GREAT day, thanks for stopping by:)

Love is in the Air - April Showers

Hi Everyone!

So many great challenges this week! I decided to participate in a few. My card looks simple but I had to piece it together because I didn't have a rain jacket on any of my cartridges.  I used the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge for the jacket.  I used the George cart. and created the cuffs, collar, pocket, and buttons with shapes using my gypsy. The umbrella & puddle are from Create a Critter and the splash drops are from Indie Art. The paper is K&Co & recollections.  The sentiment is a Studio G stamp and face is PKS. I used glossy accent on the jacket and final touches with my white gel pen. 

Whew..... Hope you enjoy.

Here are the challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut - April Showers - create a project using an umbrella or hat.

The Paper Variety - April Showers bring May Flowers

Get Inspired with Chatterscene - April Showers - Go visit Chris she offers some great inspiration and has some great giveaway.

Turtle Birthday Wishes

Hi Everyone!

It's been busy around here! I am redoing my craft room.  So fun! I just got some jet max cubes and tomorrow we are going to get a desk top for them.  A lot of cleaning and reorganizing!  I did manage to make a cute little card. I was hoping to make a few more today, but time just did not permit.  I had really been wanting to make a turtle card with this new paper pack I got a while back.  I pulled out Create a critter, my gypsy, and my peachy keen stamps and here's what I came up with.  There are quite a few challenges that I can enter this little cutie in.
FANTABULOUS CRICUT - Make a shaped card
MORE THAN FAVORS WACKY WEDNESDAY - Zoo Theme
THE PAPER VARIETY - Color challenge - 50% Green
CRAZY FOR CRICUT - Any type of card as long as you use your cricut
REALLY REASONABLE RIBBONS - Use the color green and ribbon/lace or trim on your project

Two Peas in a Pod

Hi Everyone!

I made a card the other day and thought I would do some sewing!  To tell you the truth the sewing machine and I are just not the friends we should be. I love the look of a stitched card but getting everything to line up is just a little frustrating! 

I happened to see on Lisa's blog (prettypaperprettyribbons) a challenge for projects with any type of stitching. The "Sew much Fun challenge is at The Paper Variety.

So I made my card using the New Arrival cartridge added some buttons, stitching around the card, three little buttons and a little white gel pen. Hope you enjoy!
