Wrapped with Trendy Twine and a Burlap Bow......

Hi Everyone! I know it's been a LONG time! What can I say.....life has been super busy over the summer and now with the beginning of the school year. Between being a wife, mom, Girl Scout Leader and homeschooling our 10 year old son, life has just been busy! 

 But I am back today to share a project I made as a guest designer for Trendy Twine! There have been some AMAZING new colors released recently that will match all your holiday project perfectly!

This is to give as a gift as a "Handmade with Love"  Women's Christmas party at our church. I know I love getting cards in the mail, handmade or not, but handmade is even more special.

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back soon with lots more posts!

Super Friend Gift!!

Hi Everyone!! 

Enjoying the wonderful weather yet? 

We are having beautiful weather lately.

Today is my day to share a project for Joy's Life Design Team.

I am completely obsessed with washi tape and all projects with it! 

So of course my project features Washi Tape ;)

Onto my project.......

 I took a Kerr/Mason jar and altered it with a little washi tape.

I added some washi tape flowers to some pens.
Then I used Joy's Life "My Hero" stamp set to stamp "Hello Super Friend."

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day and make sure to check out all the Joy's Life stamps!!

Let's upcycle something

Hi Everyone! I hope your week is going great!

 We have had one Wintery-Spring week here!!

 Lots and lots of snow, we need the moisture but wow it's no fun! So I hope the weather where you are is staying nice ;) 

Today is my day to share a project for Joy's Life Design Team. 

This week the team is Recycling/Upcycling something.

 I am always saving jars, containers, packaging, etc. because I know I will eventually use it at some point or another. 

So I grabbed a container out of my stash, I used a Crystal Light Lemonade container.

 3x3 Card to go with the container

I thought I would use some of my washi tape stash to alter this container and make it a little masculine, for a boy or man ;)

 Plus, as an added bonus this container fits a single package of Thin Mints!! 

That seems to be everyone's favorite!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Howl-O Puppy Card

Hi Everyone! I hope your week has been great!! 

 Today is my day to share a project featuring Joy's Life Stamps. 

Joy just released three new stamp sets. Today I used "Punny Animals" on my card.

 Our son, Ethan helped me make this card.

 He wanted a puppy card inspired by Blue's Clues, one of his all time favorite, yes still!! 

He is almost 10.

 He wanted a card to send to Grandma in California.

Here is what we came up with:

This is a doghouse shaped card, I welded together on my Gypsy.

The house is from Create A Critter and the puppy from Cricut American Alphabet.

He also wanted the puppy on an Action Wobble.

 Close-up of the fun Joy's Life Sentiment.

The card came out cute and simple. He loves it!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
