Quick & Simple Candle Renovation

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! Here is a quick little upload on how I took 2 candles that had dents all over them and made them look a little more "Holiday Perfect"!

Fast and Easy Directions: One roll of sticky double sided tape ( P.K. Glitz ), green martha stewart glitter, and white stickles for the top parts! See told ya it was easy, now I can have the yummy smell of these candles out, while adding a little Christmas Cheer!

Happy Crafting!

Christmas Village - Fantabulous Cricut Deck the Halls Project!

I'm so excited to finally be able to post something on here again, yay! I've been super busy crafting, but a lot of my crafts are gifts for people for the Holidays so I can't put them up until after they are opened... but I can post my winter village that I made because it's finally the Holiday season, woo hoo!!!!!!

I used my Winter Woodland cartridge to make the entire "little village" with my mother-in-law's expression machine ( thank you! Now I know why I need the big one too! hehehe). It was easy to make all of the cuts, but gluing together was a little more challenging. For the window and door decorations I used various stickles and Sharpie Markers. For the roof tops I wanted it to be more "authentic" and I used my new "snow fluff" that I found at Archiver's, so when you touch it it feels nice and soft like snow! ( plus it had glitter in it! ) As far as adhesive goes I used the scotch quick dry glue, which I also have fallen in love with. I have to say the church is my favorite, and I hope you enjoyed stopping by, I'll be sharing much more with you as this Holiday Season continue!

Happy Crafting!

Pumpkin Seed Treats!

Every year I love making Pumpkin seeds, and this year I have to say ( not to toot my own horn ) they are the best, yummm!!! I've also been dying to make cute little goodie bags for something, so I thought why not make some bags of my pumpkin seeds for family and my hubby's work. So here's what I did:

This project was so simple and easy that it only took me 20 minutes to put together! I used the Happy Hauntings cartridge ( curtosy of Julie, thanks! ), and simply scooped the seeds into small peices of plastic wrap, tied with a black ribbon and added my little "poison" decoration with a glue dot! I love when something so simple can look so cute! Happy Haunting and Crafting!

2nd Birthday Party is a Success!

Hello happy crafters! I'm now the proud momma of a two year old! And as any crazy crafter knows you can't trust your child's birthday invitations and decorations to just anyone! ( Notice I used the word crazy in front of crafter, because I think that's what I am!) Even though it took a lot of time and effort, and a lot more time everything turned out great and was something I could be proud of! So I just thought I'd share with you our party invitation and favors! Enjoy!

All decorations were made using the Elmo Party Cartridge. Happy crafting!

MPS Winter Challenge!

I made this a challenge times 3 for me! I wanted to really be creative and take this challenge head on... I read the message from My Pink Stamper about making sure you are creating something specifically for the challenge ( hence the challenge part ), so I wanted to do just that! And boy did I!

I saw the instructions on how to make this tri-fold split card on another blogger's site called TheCraftyKitchen, having never made one but always wanting too I followed her steps and made one yay!!! ( It was not as scary as I thought it would be )

My challenge #2 for myself was to incorporate new cartridge images that I hadn't used before... so I used Stretch Your Imagination for the Christmas Tree, and Cheerful Seasons for the Snowman.

Challenge #3 came when I wanted to use items I owned but never used ( mainly due to forgetfulness or laziness hehehe! ), and I did that too! I used my little "snowballs" and Christmas tree brads...

All in all I am quite pleased with my project, and I'm glad I really exceeded my own expectation, and hopefully inspired you to try something you want to do, but just haven't made the time for it!

Happy Crafting and Challenging too!

Mini Monsters MPS challenge

Hello crafters! I made these cute little displays for the MPS challenge, and I have decided to find some cute little frames to put them in for the Halloween season! ( I might even use black string to hang them down in a line and hang somewhere... hmmmmm ideas ideas!) I used the Mini Monsters cartridge, which I must say if you haven't seen it yet it is to die for ( no pun intended, hehehe!) The glitter lines on the botton were made using double sided tape from PK Glitz ( which I know you've all heard me say before I love this stuff! the glitter never comes off!), and the glitter was from Martha Stewart. This was a super easy and fun craft to put together, and thanks for stopping by!

Guest Blogger!

Hello! I know it has been forever, but life sure has gotten busy around here, whew! This week I wanted to put up a guest blogger... one of my best friends Julie Tatro!!!! Yay!!! She made a spectacular birthday card when she was scrapping at my house that I knew I had to share... enjoy! And big thanks to Julie for letting me share!

She used the paper doll cartridge to make her "harry potter"! She added the strips to the tie herself for more authenticity... she's just too creative, and this card is just too cute!!!
