Reindeer Ornament

 Hi Everyone!
Hope your week has started out great! I'm trying to craft as much as I can, I'm just running out of time :)

Here is a little ornament that my son and I created.  He did mostly everything except the big peachy eyes and gluing down the berries :) Super simple and thank goodness he chose the glitter pen instead of loose glitter :) Glitter and 9 year old boys can be meeeesssssy :)

This little stamp was $1 at Micheal's. I fussy cut him and can I just applaud all of you that fussy cut! Boy does it sure take some patience. I colored him with my copics and as you can see I sure need practice on shading/blending whew a lot of practice :)

Welcome Sweet Baby

Hi Everyone!

What a day we had yesterday. We had the honor of watching the Space Shuttle land at LAX. What a momentous event. It was really spectacular, I have lots of pics but can't find my cord to get them off my phone :( I'll look this evening.

So I saw some fun challenges and thought I would play along. Paper Playtime is having a "Use your punches & add a sentiment & Die Cuttin Divas - Create a project using an elephant. I'm not quite sure why, but I never have a baby card on hand when I need it.  So perfect opportunity to place one in the card drawer :)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

This little elephant is from the Cricut Cartridge New Arrival

The peachy face is a combo of Stamps - PK-754 Critter Faces SET A Medium (eyes) & PK-460 Happy Lashes Face Assortment (Mouth) I added the extra detail to the nose and eyes.

I used a Martha Stewart Punch for the bottom of the card and added the yellow polka dot paper on the inside.

Hi Everyone!
Wow, summer is just zooming by! I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it. I know my blog has been suffering but I only have 10 more days until my oldest leaves for school :( 
Very soon I'll be using my blog not only for enjoyment but for therapy!
I mentioned I have been playing with my new My Creative Time Stamps so this is just one of the cards I created with the Fly Away With Me Dies. I think these clouds are my favorite of the set.

This card makes me think of summer. Blue skies, puffy white clouds, & pretty green grass!

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

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are enjoying your day! We finally have some sun, but not for long the rain is coming tomorrow:( 
I'm sharing a card I made for a "Sea Monster" party. Actually that's what the 3 year old called it but his Mom says its a sea life party. Sounds like a fun party, she rented a touch tank from a local sea life museum and they bring all the creatures in a trailer for the kids to explore. Our Pre-school and Elementary schools do this here in our town but never knew you could rent them for a party. FUN FUN FUN!

Halloween Treat Box

Hi Everyone!


Wow, the days just zoom by..... our family is just so busy! 
Here is a treat box that I created a while back and just managed to finish this morning.  I am entering this in a few challenges.  I used TBBM for the box and with my gypsy I inserted a circle and then placed the spiderweb inside the circle. I filled it with candy corn and topped it off with some ribbon, a button, and a cute little brad.

Have a GREAT day everyone!
