I'm In The Mood For Love

Hey y'all! How are you doing on this beautiful day?! I hope you are having a good one! February is here and it is the time for love! I am hosting the challenge this month over at Berry 71 Bleu and we would love for you to join us for this lovey dovey challenge! Of course there is a fabulous prize up for grabs! Be sure to check it out!!! You can find all the info by clicking HERE.

I thought I would share my project with you here on my own blog as well. I created an altered project to use as the example for the challenge. I altered a vintage muffin tin that I found at a local thrift store for a whopping 49 cents! You can't beat that! After bringing the tin home and cleaning it up, I almost put a fresh coat of paint on it. But then I saw all the age that the tin had aquired over years of loving use and I decided to leave it as is. I thought it would look more vintage that way. I then used varoius scrapbooking embellishments, as well as a gorgeous tag from Berry Bleu, to alter the tin up. I will be hanging this tin on my door for the month of February.

"My Love" Altered Mini Muffin Tin

Supplies Used

Tag, Lace, Flowers: Berry 71 Bleu

Buttons: Berry 71 Bleu, Jenni Bowlin Studio

Chipboard Buttons: Jenniw Bowlin Studio

Chipboard Alphabet: Making Memories

Rhinestones: Studio G

Trim: Ribbon FX (Hobby Lobby)

Adhesive: hot glue gun/glue sticks

Other: vintage mini muffin tin

 Isn't this tag from Marivic beautiful? I just adore her tags! Be sure to check out the DT Call while you are stopped over at her blog! You could have the chance to work with these awesome handmade tags!

 I've had these glittered chipboard alpha's in my scrappy stash for quite some time. I'm glad I found something to use them on.

 I used some vintage pink lace to act as my hanging mechanism.

 Up close of some of the goodies on the tag...

 I filled each individual muffin tin insert with various buttons.

I hope you have enjoyed this project! Do hop on over to Berry Bleu and join us for this fun challenge! We'd love to see what you can come up with!

Oooh, and here is a pic of the prize!!! Woot woot!

Happy Scrappin'!

and

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

So Excited!

Hey y'all! Happy Monday! Did you have a good day today? I sure hope so! We got a lot done around here today. Brandon and I cleaned out our outdoor shed that we store things in. I got rid of a lot of stuff and donated it to charity. I organized everything I could and now am happy to report that Brandon has more room for his tools. He can now go in there and do his man thing and tinker! LOL. We also washed and detailed my car. It looks so much better. Brandon also cleaned his truck a little. Katie Scarlett was outside with us the whole time in her playpen having a ball. It was such a beautiful day and I feel great getting some stuff accomplished!

BUT...had to share! The UPS man visted me today! He brought me my copies of the November 2011 Cricut Magazine that I had a project in! Yay! I hadn't seen it until today. I tried to find it in the stores but was unable to do so. I am just so excited and very thankful!!! I snapped some pix to share...

 Here is a better pic of the project...

 That's me! Yay! Such a blessing!

Anyways, I hope you all had a fabulous day! I'll be back tomorrow with some craftyness! Enjoy your evening and take care!

Happy Scrappin'!



My Craft Spot Challenge #43-Valentine's Day

Hey y'all! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Did you enjoy any Super Bowl parties? Tee hee! The hubby and I did a little Super Bowl fest at our house. We were alone so we just made some dip and vegged on the couch most of the day. It was a lot of fun! I really don't get into pro football like I do college football, but it was just nice to spend down time with him and our Katie Scarlett. I always enjoy those days!

Anyways, today we have another fun challenge for you at My Craft Spot. This weeks challenge is centered around Valentine's Day. To check out my fellow DT's projects and to see how you can play along go HERE. We would love to have you join us!

For my project this week I created a card. Here is what I came up with...

"It's Absolutely Puppy Love!"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Die Cuts With A View, Core'dinations

Patterned Paper: Jenni Bowlin Studio

Pre-Printed Card Base: Momenta

Stamps, Seam Binding, Twine: My Craft Spot

Clips, Alphabet Stickers: Making Memories

Ribbon: The Paper Studio

Ink, Pen: Stampin' Up!

Electronic Cutting Machine: Cricut Expression (Provo Craft)

Software: Sure Cuts A Lot (Craft Edge)

SVG's: Dog (Lettering Delights), 'Absolutely' (Designer Digitals)

Adhesive: Helmar

 I stamped on the doggy and also on the seam binding on the front of my card.

 I used pop dots to pop my doggy up a tad.

 Aren't these little metal clips the cutest?! I just love them! I found them at a local discount store for $1.29 and knew I had to have them. They were actually what inspired the whole card.

 For the inside, I did a mix of different things. The word "it's" was done with alphabet stickers. The word "absolutely" was cut using my Cricut and SCAL software. Both "puppy love" and "Happy Valentine's Day" are stamped on.

I hope you have enjoyed this card. Do hop on over to My Craft Spot and join us for this fun challenge!!! Happy Scrappin' to ya!

Welcome To Our Love Nest

Hey y'all! Happy Friday! I hope you have had a fabulous week so far! Any fun plans for the weekend? The hubby is taking me on a date today! Yay! Katie Scarlett will go to doggy daycare for the day. Then, I need to go grocery shopping and we are planning on staying in this weekend. Katie Scarlett has training class on Saturday, but other than that we are gonna chill. I am going to cook a roast, so that will be super fun and yummy! I hope all of you guys have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

Now, on to the scrappy stuff! I have a new post going up over at the Creative Charms blog today and I wanted to share my project with you here as well. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I decided to create something to hang by our front door. I purchased this wooden birdhouse at a local craft store for a dollar. I decided to make it into a little 'love nest' for the holiday. I began by spritzing the bird house with some pink Glimmer Mist. This not only added color to my birdhouse, but was a fast process. It was dry and ready to be embellished in a matter of minutes!

"Love Nest"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio

Patterned Paper: K & Co

Alphabet Stickers: Harmonie

Glimmer Mist: Tattered Angels

Ribbon, Felt Embellishments, Brads, Rhinestones, Butterfly: Creative Charms

Adhesive: Helmar, hot glue gun/glue sticks

Other: wooden birdhouse

 For the front of my birdhouse, I added bling, alphabet stickers, and a beautiful butterfly.

 I replaced the original cording that came with the birdhouse with some cute ribbon from Creative Charms to act as my hanging mechanism.

 Here is the side view of the birdhouse. I decorated both sides of the house the same.

 Back of the birdhouse...

 And here is a closer view of the felt embellishments...

Thank so much for taking a moment to drop by my blog today! I hope you have enjoyed this project!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Scrappin'!!!
