February Fever

I know that its Christmas time and all but every now and again I like to choose another holiday to make a card for. Valentines Day! I am just in love with the cartridge Create a Critter! Its so stinkin cute! This is the lady bug from it cut at 3 inches and the saying that went with it cut at 2.5 inches.

Love,

Manly Hello

Sure I have lots of cards that have flowers, glitter, and cute girly sayings but that just doesn't cut it when you're celebrating your little brother's birthday. Believe it or not, he doesn't want to keep that card with the cute little critter with a bow in its hair. However, there are a few of those cartridges out there that are perfect for boys! Robotz is one of them.

I love the colors in this card. They are very "boyish" and I think the solids work well together. I cut the robot out at 4 inches and added some googly eyes I got at the dollar store. This is a great card for a little boy!

Love,

Frosty the Snowman

I don't know about you out there but Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. One thing that I love about this Holiday season is the fact that you can be sure that right after Halloween there will be Christmas Music playing on the radio. Now I might be a teenager but I am not ashamed to admit that I roll down by windows and sing Christmas music at the top of my lungs. One day on the ride home from school I was sitting at a red light singing Frosty the Snowman particularly loud when I had an epiphany about two things: 1) I realized that the nice young man sitting next to me was staring at my quite confused. and 2) I was inspired to make a Snowman wall decoration for my mother. This is my snowman project and I really love how it turned out!

The Bulb is cut out of cartridge Very Merry Tags set at Fit to Page. For the snow at the bottom I cut out another bulb and just used scissors to cut across. Then I ran it through the Xyron and adhered glitter.
The snowman was cut out of Snow Friends (7 1/2in) and I used to same Xyron technique to glitter the white parts on his hat.

The letters are from the Sizzlits set called Rat-a-tat. I then cut out of white cardstock 1in circles and adhered them to the backs of the letters so the white would show through. To finish it off I added a 20 in ribbon, tied to the top of the bulb.

Love,

Welcome!

Well for many years I have considered myself a "blog stalker." What is a "blog stalker" you ask? Well it is one who has many different blog addresses stored in their favorites bar and every few days or so they check each blog in hopes of finding some inspiration. I am guilty of this. I would look at different blogs and see some down right adorable projects and then recreate those projects in my craft space. However, I think I was bitten by the creative bug and am now creating my own adorable little projects (if i do say so myself)! I've decided to start a blog because of how much I appreciate seeing the projects on all the other blogs I've been stalking for years now. I hope you enjoy:)

Love,
Lauren
