Reading is Fun Border

Hey Crafty Friends,

Happy Spring!!

I can't believe it is almost the end of March already?!?  I always think of March as Dr. Seuss Month so I wanted to create a Scrapbook border I could put on a page later. For this border, I used Cutie Katoodles-Clever Cat & Coffee & Sunshine Bear

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

I wanted the border to be fun like the Dr. Seuss books, so I decided  to balance a few items on his tail and on his head. I thought it'd be cute too if it looked like he was reading a story and it went well with the title that I came up with. Then I got sparkly happy and added a few sparkly touches. : )

Valentine's Day Coffee Gift Tag

Hey Deer Friends,

 Are you ready for Valentine's Day?? Do you have big plans?? I don't have any plans but making some fudgy Brownies!! MMMMMM 

Today, I want to show you a Valentine's Day Coffee Gift Tag and Gift Card holder. For this coffee gift set, I used Shoptastic Cuties-Valentine Frappuccino Cutie

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

For the gift tag, I wanted it to look girly and sweet to match the sentiment. I added a piece of Chocolate and a donut in the Frappuccino's hand. I added some twine and ribbon to it as well. For the gift card holder, I wanted it to coordinate with the tag so I just did a plain Frappuccino and some chocolates with it. I popped up Coffee on the scallop heart for some dimension. For the background, I used a stamp set from Jaded Blossom and just used it all over the background to give it a pattern paper look. I love how it turned out.

Valentine's Day Piggie Pillow Box

Hey Crafty Friends,

I hope you all are having a spectacular week!! Are you ready for the weekend?? Do you have big plans?? I really need to organize my craft desk this weekend. A messy crafter is a creative crafter right?!?! HaHa

Today, I want to show you a Valentine's Day Treat Pig treat box. For this treat box, I used Cutie Katoodles-Girl Piggie

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

For my project, I wanted to use the girl piggy and thought it'd be cute to make a pillow box container with Hershey's Kisses inside. I got the idea from Pinterest, but I wanted a pillow box that you could see the treats inside. I found a file over on SVG Cutting files that was perfect because the cut out was in the shape of a heart. So, I thought that Hogs & Kisses would be the perfect sentiment for the pillow box, but I don't have a Hogs and Kisses stamp. So I just picked a font and welded it together and used my Cricut to write it out on a tag. Then I used my new Prismacolor Pencils to color in the sentiment. The pillow box turned out WAY bigger than I anticipated and almost fit a full bag of Hershey's kisses inside. HaHa 

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to complete this project:

Hot Cocoa Bear Card

Hey Crafty Friends,

Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a fun Christmas and New Year's Eve with your family and friends!! 

It's been so cold where I live lately, that you just want to hibernate and not go anywhere. I finally got the chance to get in my crafty space and design a super cute card. I used the weather outside as inspiration for this particular card. For this card, I used Cutie Katoodles-Winter Hot Cocoa Bear

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

I wanted the card to be winter themed, so when I saw the Polar Bear with the hat and scarf I thought it would be perfect. I used a Cricut file for the Hot Chocolate Mug and sparkled it up with Wink of Stella. I wanted it to be taller with whip cream and sprinkles on top. I also added the super cute marshmallows from the Kadoodle Bug Designs file. To finish off the look I made some sparkly snowflakes using another Kadoodle Bug Designs file. 

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to complete this project:

Reindeer Gift Card Holder

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening Everyone!! I hope you are having a fantastic night. It's getting cold here so that means hot chocolate and Christmas Movies!! Yay! : )

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

 I just adore this cute little Reindeer file from Kadoodle Bug Designs. I wanted to use Rudy to create a gift card holder. I had to do some adjustments along the way to make it work but eventually I got it where it functioned as it's supposed to. A gift card will fit inside either upright or sitting sideways.

Horse Birthday Card

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening Everyone!! I'd like to take a moment to thank all the Veterans who have served our Country for their service!!! 

Have you been crafting and making any projects lately?? The colder weather makes you want to watch a good Hallmark Christmas Movie and get crafty! Or maybe that's just me. ; ) Tonight, I want to show a birthday card I made for my nieces birthday. For this card, I used Cutie Katoodles Horse

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

 My niece loves horses and her favorite color is purple, so I wanted the card to include both. I had asked her over the summer what kind of birthday card she wanted and she said horse so that's why I went with that. Her Mom and Stepdad got her horseback riding lessons for her birthday and boy is she excited. Today was her first lesson and she did great.

Witchy Owl Birthday Card

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening, I hope you are having a great fall so far!! It's been in the 90's where I'm at the past few days, but it is supposed to cool down to the 70's by the end of the week. Yay!! : )

So tonight, I want to show a Halloween themed Birthday card I made for my sister's birthday. For this card, I used Cutie Katoodles-Witchy Owls & Happy Halloween

 files from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

My sister loves the fall and loves all things Halloween, so I decided to make her a Halloween themed birthday card. I had lots of fun creating the background with ink. I made it lighter around the moon and then went darker as I went further out. I used the tree branch, moon and the bats from the Happy Halloween file. Then to finish the card off I added some touches of Wink of Stella on the hat, bat, and birthday sentiment.

Christmas Scrapbook Layout

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening, I hope you had a good week!! Did you get to see the Total Solar Eclipse on Monday?? I got to watch it in my front yard and oh it was so spectacular!! I happen to live in the town that had the longest duration of darkness. I had heard so many people talking about not taking pictures during the eclipse because it would ruin your camera so I didn't get any pics. : ( I wished I would have set it up and taken pics whenever it was dark. That diamond ring though was so beautiful!! : ) My town happens to be in the path for the next Total Solar Eclipse in 7 years, so maybe I can get some pics then. 

 To create this Christmas layout, I used a combination of files 

Cutie Katoodles Christmas Dream Bears & Cutie Katoodles-Winter Hot Cocoa Bear from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

I have a Canon Camera and my sister thinks I'm a photographer, so a couple of Christmases ago she wanted me to take pictures of her family. She saw on Pinterest Christmas photos of some children tying up their parents with lights and putting some duck tape on their mouths. So I recreated that scene for her and she loved it. So for tonight's scrapbook layout I created that scene with some polar bears. I wanted it to look like they had tied up their parents with lights and duck taped their hands and mouths. I wanted a title for the top and I found this one and thought it went perfectly with what was going on in the photo. 

I hope you enjoyed this Christmas layout. Come back next week for one more Scrapbook page.  : )

Girly Makeup Scrapbook Page

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening, I hope you had a great week so far.  I don't know about you but I'm ready for Fall and the cooler temperatures. It's so hot and humid here!!!  I'm also looking forward to making some fall themed crafts. : )

The past week and I've been working on a Girly girl Scrapbook page. I've been watching my nieces this Summer and they love to dress up and put on makeup, so I wanted to make a makeup themed scrapbook page. The new file over at Kadoodle Bug Designs is perfect for this.  For this layout, I used a combination of files 

Charmin Cuties- It's a girl thing,  Cutie Katoodles Sailor Doggie ,  &  Cutie Katoodles Valentine Wagon Horses from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

I wanted the layout to look cutie and girly so I did it in several different pastel shades and included lots patterns of pink and purple. I  mixed in lots of shimmer with wink of stella, glitter and sparkly gems. I also wanted to add in a little doggie and make it look like she's dressing up and putting on makeup too. I added bows to the dogs ears, a pearl necklace and little purple nails to finish off the girly touch. 

I hope you enjoyed this layout as much as I do!! I can't wait to show my nieces on Monday!! : )
