Hi Everyone! Today I am a Guest Designer over at the Trendy Twine blog. Lesley has released some amazing colors this year and I love all the Halloween coordinating ones- Black Licorice, Orange Licorice, Lime Licorice and Grape Licorice. So FUN!
So when she asked me to be a guest designer, of course I said Yes! I love Halloween projects and Trendy Twine!! ;o)

I made two projects, one for our daughter's Kindergarten teacher and one for our son's Third grade teacher.

3x3 notecard and matching pillowbox (3 1/2 x 3 x 1) 

sold in the Trendy Twine store, as well.

I kept the pillowbox closed with some Black Licorice and Grape Licorice Trendy Twine.

Inside of the note card- "Have a BOO-tacular Day!".

Another 3x3 note card and matching Nugget Tin, 

 also sold in the Trendy Twine store.

Hey Ghoul-friend!!

Hi Everyone :)

Today I have a project that I made for a special crafty friend of mine for Halloween.

I also made the card for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!
*to use an older cartridge with a "Card Feature" on it*

Must be a Halloween Theme!

Then I made her a cute holder with some fun lotion.

I got the pattern from Splitcoast stampers and altered it to fit the little lotion.

  The pattern is originally made for the mini hand sanitizer like this one.

Here is the set all together.
I am so glad she got them and liked them. I hope to make more for Christmas!!

Man Cave

Yesterday was my Dad's Birthday and I made him this sign for his office because he keeps saying that he wants a "Man Cave" sign for it.

Here is what I came up with:



Up Close view

What I used:

I bought the wood sign from JoAnn Fabrics for $5, normally $9 but I used the 40% off coupon. The I used the Pooh font cartridge and my Cricut markers in Brown, this was my first time using them. I used the markers and then cut the letters at 2in with the shadow in Camo paper then adhered to the  sign with Tombow Multi Adhesive. I got the Marine emblem at Michael's about a year ago in the clearance section and I bought the gun charm at Cabela's in December. I gave it to him last night and he LOVED it! I am so glad!
Thanks for looking!
Have a wonderful day!

Craftroom Corkboard

I have had this Corkboard sitting in my craftroom that I bought at a thrift store for 50 cents.
I had the material from last summer from a sale at JoAnn Fabrics. I just used ribbon from my stash and you know it has to be purple with Hello Kitty, my two favorites!!! :)

Disclaimer: no one was harmed while doing this project since I have lost my staple gun priviledges ;)

 my hubby happily did all the stapling!
Thanks for looking! Have a great day
