Mother’s Day – Part Two

May 15, 2013

     Welcome to Mother’s Day Part Two!  This is less crafty, but just as special.  My hubby took our little one out shopping for Mom’s Day and purchased me the Chamilia 2013 Mother’s Day charm for my bracelet. I love it!  It was hard to get a picture of the detail since it’s so tiny, but it’s a hanging charm engraved with Mom on the front and pink bling (tastefully of course) on the back.   I love my charm bracelet as each bead/charm is for a special occasion picked out by my family just for me. 
     My hubby also did the cooking on Sunday…what a nice treat!  He made baked sweet potatoes, filet mignon and salad.  We then had a cake with my family from our favorite local bakery.  We actually come up with reasons to order cake it’s so tasty!
     I do have one crafty thing to share…the wrapping of my Mom’s present.  My brother and his wife have a little boy who just turned one…we went together and got a professional photo taken of the two grandsons.  I made a sleeve to “wrap” the picture and then decorated it using my cricut.  The paisley is from the Cindy Loo cartridge and I believe the lettering was Alphalicious.  I put stickles on the apostrophe and the pollen from the flower just to add a little something.  I was pleased with how it came out. 

 

     I hope you all had a relaxing Mother’s Day.  Did you spend any time crafting or make any of your presents?

Morther’s Day Part One – School Projects

May 14, 2013

     I’m lucky enough that Michael’s school tries very hard to do special projects with them for big occasions.  I expect a picture or something, but was so thrilled to find many projects he had done for me.  

     The first was a cute visor.  I knew he had picked the embellishments out because of the ladybug.  it’s the only bug we don’t freak out at right now.  I had to wear it on Mother’s Day…at least for awhile.  
     Here I am getting a big hug while wearing my visor.  We were at my Mom’s for a visit.



    
 Up next he decorated a cup to hold the flower they planted for us.
     If that wasn’t enough work for his teachers they were kind enough and used his handprints to make a painting of the flower. 

     Could the projects get any darn cuter!  Did your kiddos make anything at school for you?
     Up next the present my Hubby helped M pick out, and the  packaging I made for my Momma’s gift.

Train Birthday Accessories

May 6, 2013

     If you watched my last video you saw that I purchased the Cricut Beep Beep cartridge with the idea of making some embellishments for my nephew’s first birthday party.  
     The first thing I did was make a long train for his birthday package.  We bought him a sand and water table and the box was huge!  I wrapped it in plain blue wrapping paper and then attached the train as well as his birthday invite, which looked like a train ticket.  It worked perfectly.
     I don’t often make cards, but I figured having the cartridge gave me the perfect excuse to try it out.  This was the single train on the cartridge and the directions made it very easy to cut out.  I added some alphas that I had for his name and a rub-on for the number.  

     For the inside I then used my Stampin’ Up cup cake wheel on the side. I used the wheel guide my hubby bought me for Christmas, and I can see myself using wheels a ton more now that I have that.  I also some red stickles for the cherries on top of the cupcake because even a boy can have some fun!  

     Have you created anything for a theme birthday lately?

Ebay Circut Cartridge Haul

May 5, 2013

     I’ve been trying to keep a list of the Cricut cartridges that I think would be useful in my scrapbooking rather than buying and hoping I find a place to use it.  I recently found three of the ones on my list from the same seller at a great price.  They were all still new in package too…an added bonus when you use the Cricut Craft Room.  Have you had any good hauls recently?

National Scrapbook Day

May 5, 2013

     I did it!  I finally broke down and ordered myself a scraprack.  I’ve been looking at one for six months, or more, and with the free shipping…well…I caved.  
     I got the basic rack with three different types of pages.  I chose the double XL vertical, the fabulous four and the perfect five.  I assume that will get me started well since I already have everything sorted.  I obviously don’t have any pictures yet, but I’ll be sure to post some when I do.
     Hubby had to work today so I didn’t get to do much scrapping, but I made an embellishment for my nephew’s birthday package and his card.  I’ll try to get a blog up tomorrow after the party so you can see.  I think they came out really cute.  
     I also have three new videos coming up for you too.  I just have to carve out some editing time.  Stay tuned!
