Make your Dreams come True

Our grandson turns 6 and I wanted to make him a banner for his room. His room is Teal, Lime and Purple~ he says when he grows up he wants to be a Scientist, a Diver and an Astronaut. He tells everyone he has to go to law school after College so he has some BIG dreams that we want to encourage and maintain. I used Pretty Pennants, Varsity Letter and Everyday Paperdolls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Football is Life dear friend

It is my day to post at Action Wobbles today and with Superbowl Sunday just days away I made this sweet little card for a friend who is not really a fan. In our house FOOTBALL IS LIFE...the rest is just details. We watch football, we attend games, hubby coaches youth football and we always have or attend a huge party on SuperBowl Sunday. This year a California team is playing so I will be rooting for them. Not as a fair weather fan but defending our state!! Go 49ers!!! This football birdie is from 3 Birds on Parade. I purposely chose soft colors of lavendar and blue because it is going to a non-fan with no team color preference! I used Glossy Acccents on the helmet so it looked realistic and added some wiggly eyes and gems to go with the little football ribbon that always makes its' way out this time of year! Have you gotten your Wobble on yet? Now head on over to Theresa's Shop to get some of these, they are super fun and add just the right personality to your project.

For my Project I have decided on some Home Decor. A decorated tissue box. ***Edited Jan 29 to say, I thought I was being so different when I made this and scheduled this project in December. But I have seen decorated Tissue Boxes in Challenges all over. I guess creative minds think alike!***I just covered a purchased tissue box with papers in red and black. I added a doily border by cutting the tops off of inexpensive heart doilies. All 4 sides are coordinated so it is cute from any angle. Perfect a little gift for a co-worker, neighbor, nurse or teacher.

The hearts and flowers are cut from dies from MyCreative Time. The 3 layer Petal Flower, The 3 layer hearts, the rolled flower die and the scalloped heart die. I love that the they all coordinate with stitched edges and sized perfectly to go together. 

As if that is not festive and busy enough...I added some cute cupids to wobble around and add some fun. These are cut from Cricut Cartridge Sweethearts and secured with Action Wobbles. What do you think???

Next up is our BLOG Hop caboose Sherri. Thank you for stopping by and sharing in all the creativity. If you are new to my BLOG, I hope you will come back. I read every comment and appreciate my followers.

And as always you can get Wobbles of your own from the Scrapbooking Queen.

Are you Ready for some FOOTBALL???

SuperBowl 2013 is this Sunday

Here is a Centerpiece I made for the big event.

This time of year my standard cartridges are:

SPORTS MANIA

EVERYDAY PAPERDOLLS

VARSITY LETTER

Grabbed a Tomato Sauce Can and covered it with Green Paper and added some White Stripes

When I do cuts this large (6") making the bouquet on sticks gets touchy so instead, I grabbed an old wire coat hanger and bent it. I gave a subtle touch as to which team I am rooting for...can you see it?

Hearts hearts hearts

How many can you count? Over at PeachyKeen this week...the challenge is to make a project using hearts. I love hearts and I used Peachy Keen Stamps PKSC-04 April 2012. I stamped the sentiment Our Love is Timeless on a satin ribbon with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. The little Fairy is from Peachy Keen PK-21 Mini Fairies and Gnomes. And don't PeachyKeen stamps work well with MyCreativeTime Dies? I used several on this design. The flowers are Flower Petal Dies with tiny heart centers cut from Stitched Heart Layering Dies. The big heart where I stamped the clock is the negative from Stitched Scallop Heart Die Set. And finally the XO hug and kiss are cut from Lower Case Fun. I added blinges with some little flower gems, clear Stickles and clear chunky glitter. The trims are from Websters Pages.

Time to Party

Over at FCCB this week, our DT Challenge is Time Flies. Our assignment to include a clock or something that pertains to time. With New Years Eve, I was helping my mom with her party decorations. We stuck to Silver, Black and Gold. For this project, I used a silver charger plate and decorated it with vinyl.

3 2 1 Challenge - Hip to be Square

Good morning. Some bright cheery greeting on this cold rainy morning. At MyCreativeTime it is a 3-2-1 Challenge. Your design elements are limited to 3 buttons, 2 patterned papers and 1 bow. I made a 5x5 square card. No extra postage because I am hand delivering this one!!

The flower in the center is from Stitched Scallop Circle and stamped with All Around Birthday Time. The little tag is from the layered small Stitched Curly Label Die. All run through the Cuttlebug. The thin fiber around the buttons and the bow are from Lizs' Paperloft. I just love her trims! The striped sheer wired ribbon was in my stash and I loved the way it complimented the background paper.

I hope you will try this challenge. Comment here that you did and I will come see and leave you some bloggie love!

Happy Birthday to our Favorite Nurse Manager

This giftbag was created for a good friend of ours who is celebrating a birthday. I used Paperdoll DressUp. One of my very first cartridges. This nurse doll was cut at 11 1/2". I stamped the face with PeachyKeen Face Assortment (also one of my first PK stamps). I like them  because you can stamp the eyes separate from the nose and smile and fit a larger face. The font is cut from Chip Decor at 1 1/2" and the cute little heart is from MyCreativeTime Stitched Scallop Heart Die Set .

Cupcake Bouquet

It's a Cupcake Party! Mmmmmm Chocolate Frosting and a little red heart candy. The cupcakes were cut from Sweet Treats and accented with Clear Chunky Glitter. The papers coodinate with the printed paper I used to cover a soup can for my bouquet. I attached the cupcakes to colorful paper straws. I made the bow at CHA with the new Zutter Bow Maker. That product jumped on to my wish list!!! Some pink shreds finished off my simple bouquet. I love making these bouquets. They are nice to have when you make a hospital visit, welcome a new neighbor or want to have some themed home decor. Watch nest week for the coordinating card that is going with this one! What is your favorite cupcake or muffin? I love Lemon Poppy Seed muffins and Red Velvet Cupcakes.
