Buggy about Birthdays Hop!

Welcome! You should be arriving from the FABULOUS Techniques by Trish - wasn't Trish's project great! :D First, I want to say thank you to Corri for inviting me to join this hop for her Birthday!

My project was for my daughter's 10th birthday which was yesterday! She is an AVID reader and can NEVER find a bookmark. You should see some of the stuff she winds up using to mark her place... candy wrappers, paperclips, twist-ties, etc. LOL So I decided to make her some bookmarks and find a good place for her to keep them. I bought a slider pencil case from the $1 section in Michaels - I planned to decorated it but ran out of time, at least it's her favorite color. :)



I used paint chips for the actual bookmark - my kids love them and always have to get a few everytime we go to Home Depot. They are so colorful and easy to use! The bugs are from Create a Critter, Car Decals, and Everyday Paper Dolls. I also used a variety of sentiments from Scrappy Moms Stamps. Note: I wound up using embossing powder for the stamps on the actual paint chips as my ink kept smearing.

I hope you enjoyed my little project, your next stop on the hop its the WONDERFUL Bonnie at Pink BonBons.

Here is my card project for the day...




I decided to try something I have never done before in honor of the day - a spinner card! It's not exactly what I envisioned and I can't get it quite balanced. LOL Still, I think it turned out pretty cute. :)

The owl and branch are both from Hoot 'n Hollor - the owl is cut at about 2". I used the narrow rectangle and 2 circles from George and Basic Shapes to make the channel for the spinner.

I added 2 large pink gems and a stamp from SMS Sweet Somethings set to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed my project today, be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win a SMS Game Day stamp set! I know that Blogger is having issues with posting comments so if you have difficultly you can leave your comment with a way to contact you if you win on my CBox on the right side-bar.

Birds and Birdcages Hop!

Welcome to the Birds and Birdcages Hop hosted by Sandra (365 Days of Cricut)! Wasn't Celeste's project fabulous!?

I went a little out of my norm for this project...


I found this adorable little birdcage SVG file and decided to give it a try. I lined the window with 2 layers of wax paper and put a battery powered tea light inside. The ribbon, flower and tag finish off the project. I used SMS Quirky Quotes and 3 small jewels for the tag. :)



Thank you for "hopping" by - I hope you enjoyed my little project! Your next step on the hop is the very crafty Monica.

Sandra's Butterfly Birthday Hop!

Happy Saturday! Welcome to Sandra's (365 Days of Cricut) Butterfly Birthday blog hop! Wasn't Erika's shaker card just ADORABLE!!

For my butterfly themed project I made some new wall decorations for my girls' bedroom. They recently got new matching "big girl" comforters of brown and pink. (Sniff - no more princess stuff) ...




First, I wrapped a foam wreath form in thick brown yarn. I bought a flat sheet that I cut up to make velcro dust ruffles for both beds and there was enough left over that I was able to make the ruffles for the wreath. I used svg files for the butterflies and the tag is cut from Once Upon A Princess. I Stickled around the edges of the butterflies and tag for a little bling. I stamped "Butterfly Kisses" from SMS Designers Choice stamp set and used a ribbon tied in a bow for the hanger.

I hope you enjoyed my little project - I'd love to hear from you if you did or if you have any questions. :)

Friday the 13th Hop w/ Flaunt it Fridays

Happy Friday the 13th, every one! I'm so glad you made it here from Lisa's so scary it's fabulous project! Blogger has been having a Friday the 13th party too - it's 9:30 here in AZ and it finally is up and running after being down since yesterday. LOL

On to the projects....


I made this plaque using the "Friday the 13th" cut from page 54 on Happy Hauntings. I stamped "scary" sentiments from Scrappy Moms Stamps A Haunting We Will Go set all around the cut to make my own "background paper". Then I used my Cropodile to punch holes thru the cardboard and 2 layers of cardstock to hang my ribbon. :)



My card uses the Bride of Frankenstien shilluette and the bat frame from Happy Hauntings. I used lots of tiny gems on her to co-ordinate with my A Haunting We Will Go sentiment. I'm not sure about the orange paper but I think Mrs. Frankie turned out cute!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy (or be terrified by) the rest of the hop! LOL Your next stope is the frightingly crafty Yolanda!

Scrappy Moms Stamps Happily Ever After Blog Hop

Happy Friday, everyone! Thank you SO much for joining us for the Scrappy Moms Stamps Happily Ever After blog hop! :)

I was inspired by the recent royal wedding, wasn't it beautiful?! I hope that my card envokes a memory of that day...


The base of the card is a free SVG file from imagesbyheatherm - I used MTC to weld 2 ovals together. The carriage is from the Royal Wedding SVG set by Lettering Delights. I used my Fiskars cloud punch and then the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder. The twine is from Scrappy Moms Stamps as is the sentiment. :)

Here is a picture of the full stamp set - called, appropriately, Happily Ever After.

For the Kids Hop

Happy Tuesday, everyone!!! Thank you so much for joining me today on the For the Kids hop, hosted by my friend Laura at Makin Pretty Things! I'm sure you loved Bonnie's adorable project!

I decided to make something fun for my three kiddos. Since mustaches are all the RAGE (and because I just bought the Mustache Mania SVG file from Lettering Delights) I came up with these...



I bought three hand mirrors from Dollar Tree and used black vinyl to cut the mustaches. This was a super fast and easy project - it took less than 30 mins from start to finish.

I hope you liked my kids project, have a KID-tastic week! Don't forget to leave me a comment and follow for a chance to win a Scrappy Moms Stamp set of your choice.

Cristina's Blogaversery Hop!

Hello, everyone! Thank you for joining me today to celebrate the 1 year blogaversary of Crafting with Cristina! You should have arrived from the FABULOUS Liz's Paperloft, if not and you would like to go back and start from the beginning click HERE. :)

Cristina asked us to create a project inspired by one of her creations. For me, one of the biggest things that I have gotten from Cristina is a love for Lettering Delights SVG files. So I decided to use a newly purchased file to create something for you today....


I thought this little puppy was so cute, he just "begged" me to make him! LOL I purchased these thin magnetic snaps a while back to use on boxes. I figured this little box was as good as any project to give them a try. I put one between the flap of the box and the puppy's face. The second one is covered by a small square of paper on the inside of the box. The are hidden so as not to detract from the "cuteness" of the puppy. I am quite pleased with how they work, just thought I'd share. :)

I did a little doodling, added some Diamond Glaze to his nose and stamped a cute little saying (Amusing Animals from Scrappy Moms Stamps) on his tummy.

I hope you enjoyed my little project, the next stop on the hope is the very crafty Paula!

Butterflies and Blogs Hop

Welcome, welcome! Thank you for joining me from Makin' Pretty Things for the Butterflies and Blogs Hop! Laura was so super sweet to ask me to participate in this hop! Isn't she wonderful!?!?! :)

My project today is a "Cricut-ess" card...


This card is 4" x 7" - which is NOT my usual size but I was trying to step a little outside my comfort zone! LOL I used my Fiskars Scallop Lace border punch and wired ribbon from Hobby Lobby for the bottom half of the card. The butterfly is actually an acetate cupcake pick from the dollar section at Michaels. At six for a dollar I couldn't resist! I removed the stick and used pop-dots to adhere the butterfly. I use white embossing powder and Versamark for the stamp (Designers Choice from Scrappy Moms Stamps). Can I just tell you how BAD I am at using embossing powder!! It took 3 tries to get a clear image with out too much "dandruf"! LOL

In honor of Laura's blogiversary I am giving away a Scrappy Moms Stamps Special Delivery stamp set.


Just leave me a comment to be eligible to win. Of course, if you don't alreay follow me and you like what you see I'd love for you to join in and follow if you would like. :)

April Fools Hop has been cancelled!

Just kidding! LOL Sorry I couldn't resist.... Welcome to Cristina's April Fools Hop, I'm sure you all enjoyed Lezyle's project - isn't she great? I have a quirkly little layout for you...

The sign is from Paper Doll Dress-up, the words are from Sesame Street Font and I used George and Basic Shapes to cut the pieces of the Eye Grow. I rounded the corners of the square with my corner rounder. The leaf base of the eyes and hair are hand cut, which turned out pretty good for someone who can't cut a straight line to save her life. LOL :)

Thank you for joining me today! Your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Corri.
