THANKS for a great year....

Made cards and bags for the boys' teachers.

Features Lawn Fawn's new "A Good Apple" set.

The sentiment was embossed on the black piece. 

The apples, erasers and chalk pieces were stamped, colored and cut out. 

There's a bit of Glossy Accents on the apples.

The red polka dot paper is MME. 

I stamped an apple on the envelopes too:

Here are some other bags I made.  I ran out of the polka paper.

 

What will go in the bags?

These mason jars with a flower.
The idea is straight from Pinterest.

You're Such a Deer!

Sharing a birthday card I made for my niece.

Features  stamp sets from The Craft's Meow "Typically Teen and "Oh, Deer".

The design was inspired by their March sketch.

Papers are "Kissing Booth" by Basic Grey.

I love the Polaroid look so much.

This one was made using the "George" cartridge on my Cricut (had to practice first)

I saw a blog that suggested using the square Spellbinders dies and I now have them to try.

I think that will be easier.  

The banner was handmade.  

The deer was stamped on white paper, colored with Copics and cut out.

10 Min Card (more like 12:68)

Decided to give the 10 Minute Craft Challenge a try.

It was rather fun, but it took me 12 minutes and 68 seconds.

I did not plan on the fact that I only had a small space cleared on my desk and had to stop and clean up all the ink before I could finish the card! 
Then as I went to grab the white card based I noticed ink all over my hand and had to wash!

I embossed the chevron in white.

The background was made with 3 distress inks and water mists.

I heated the panel to get it to dry quickly.

I tried to "hide" that reddish line with the flower.  A bit still showed.

Here are the colors for the CDC Challenge:

I am also entering this card into the By the Cute and Girly: Birthday challenge

Supplies:

Chevron stamp by Lawn Fawn

Sentiment by Paper Smooches

Distress Inks:  Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, Broken China

 Definitely a FUN challenge to do!!!

Love to have you join my Card drive for Addison if you have time...

10 minutes maybe?

Strike up the fun: Bowling Party!

Sharing the goodies I made for our son's 5th birthday party with a bowling theme.

Here is the invite.  

Most supplies from Hobby Lobby.  

I put the stickers on white cardstock and cut them out to give a little dimension. 

Here are the cupcakes we gave out at the bowling alley and the school party.

I ordered the candy mold on Amazon.

The red "stripe" on the pin was put on with a brush.

Here's the cake for the family party.

The sports ball cake pan is by Wilton.  
I used the template HERE for the pin, enlarged, and traced it 
with black icing before filling it in with the stars.
Forgot to cover the board... was a little messy the next day...
Please ignore the remote control mark on the blue icing in the upper right...
I was trying to catch the news about Peyton Manning and went to put the remote down.. 
OOPS... shhhhhhhhhhhh squished stars...

Next up, the goody bags.

Stickers are from Hobby Lobby.

Easy-peasy

They were torn up before leaving the bowling alley.

The lizards were a huge hit with everyone.

I made T-shirts for the kids with Wilton easy image Transfers from Michael's.

Same pin image from Family Fun was printed & cut out by hand.

I just typed the names and cut them out with a paper trimmer.

We had an even number of boys and girls so I used red for the girls and blue for the boys.
