Hello again Kitty ;)

Hey everyone!

How are you on this beautiful Friday morning/afternoon/evening? Everyone is pretty good over here. Other than the fact that my kids are growing up and getting bigger everyday :( NOT OKAY.

Well my baby girl will be turning 6 and her "BIRTH"day is 6-6-06. Yeah talk about a lot of 6's. But I say anyway the Lord makes is a good one. ;) So this week we are sharing an uber fun challenge with you all. I soooo hope you can play along.

Peachy Keen Stamps

Challenge 16

Create a 3D object of your choice upcycling soup cans!

I had to take a close up to prove that I really did use a soup can lol in case you didnt believe me ;)

Whatcha do...buy pipe cleaners at the dollar store (one pack per soup can) and decorate it with your choice of colors. I used a low temp hot glue gun to make sure they adhered well enough for small hands. ;) I also added a green floral cylinder into the center to hold everything in place.

 Next hot glue bamboo skewers to your candy. If I would have been thinking I would have bought candy that WONT MELT in the beginning of June. AH HA moment for sure lol.

Then wrap your choice color of cardstock around candy to make sure it keeps the same color theme you are going for. See the yellow wrapper (does not match the party theme so it had to be changed. ;)

Stamp Thank you from the Springtime Minis set onto each circle. The circles are as follows

1 3/8~purple

1 1/2~pink

scalloped circle~white

 Cut the hello Kitty head out at 4" using the Hello Kitty Greetings Card.

Stamp Super Simple Eyes and Noses onto the face right in between the whiskers. Color in the nose using Copic y17.

Once it is all put together...Voila you are done. This will be a kitchen centerpiece. I plan on jogging over to the store to buy some "NONE MELTY" candy later.

Thank you all so much for stopping by please please please play with us this week and dont forget to go on over and check out what my dt sisters created for your viewing pleasure. ;)

Crazy About Cricut

This was beyond fun! Jenny Over at Crazy About Cricut asked the DT to make something for Halloween/Fall that involves family. We are all about Family Fridays. We actually do our Family Evenings on Fridays! So this fit in soooo nicely. So here is what the kids and I created with our Cricut. Please go over to Jennys blog and see what the other fabulous DT members created for you this week.

The kids designed their entire bags with the design studio. Each one got to make something to match their outfit. So we followed the directions that we found on one of my most favorite blogs Joy's Life. And we made these bags they were super easy to make and oh so much fun. The kids were grinning from ear to ear just because they did it all on their own with a little ironing help from mom! Thanks everyone for coming by and here is a video detailing exactly what was done. If it doesnt show you can always go to the direct link Here

I actually used my CRICUT MARKERS!!!! I haven't used these in so long I was worried they would be dry. But I was in luck they were working better than ever lol. No but seriously so I made the entire banner with the markers and I LOVE it!
Here's a list of What was used:
Cricut-Sentimentals(for the scalloped circle), Hello Kitty Greetings(for the bat), Country Life(for the banner)
Ink-I actually used my cricut markers can you believe that! How awesome are they. I also used stampabilites black.
Embellishments-Martha Stewart glitter(to cover the scalloped circle, which was originally orange), Yellow bling from Michaels, twine from Hobby Lobby, and white gel pen from Peachy Keen Stamps
Stamps- Peachy Keen Create a Critter faces (Love my Peachys)
Paper-basic black from Stampin Up, and some other random paper I picked up along the way

Just buggin

This was really fun to make. I wanted to do something different so I hope you all like it. The colors are very blah for me but the concept is really cool. I think I'll be whipping up some more of these in Red white and silver for my Lobos grads. Oh and purple for Highlands (sister!). I have to work on my tension settings for the stitching but once I've got that down I will be able to make these look a lot better.

What was used:
Punches- none but I used my cricut and the Hello Kitty cartridge for the scroll
ink- close to cocoa stampin' up for inking the edges
embellishments- dimensionals
stamps- none
extras- silk ribbon in chocolate chip
paper- random cs
color medium- none

I hope you all like it. I made if for the Just Buggin Challenge found here. http://justbugginchallenges.blogspot.com/

The challenge was to use shadow or blackout and I used blackout for the black part of the scroll. I love the way this turned out. :)
