Tissue Paper Tile

I have been wanting to try this for some time and finally had an 'occasion' to try it. I have to admit that it was not as easy as I thought it would be. There was alot of trial and error - I found out Modge Podge WILL come off once dried (don't ask LOL). This is for my Mom & Dad's anniversary today. I printed the picture on tissue paper, cut the words and the flourish out of vinyl and then coated the entire thing with modge podge. It has (or will shortly) cork on the back. My mom wants to display it on a stand....I will be trying some more of these for Christmas...wish me luck!!

Birthday Cards - Fun Shapes!!!

So my bestie said 'I am tired of folding cards in half!'. I have to agree that I have been having fun with the welded cards and 'shapes'. I made these two cards for my dad's B'day this past weekend. I LOVE the paper combinations, I think they came out so well and do not look 'girlie'!! The cute doggie is cut from Create A Critter (one of my favs) and the present is from one of the Christmas ones (can't remember right now...oops!). The paper is all DCWV and I used lots of bling (even though it was for my dad I could not resist the bling...) The stamp is from My Pink Stamper (they are so FAB). TFL!

Post It Note Holders

I got the pattern for this from my bestie Randi (THANKS!!!!). I made these for my daughters teachers...she has some great teachers and we wanted to have a little something for them before Winter Break. I used Christmas Cheer for all the cuts and lots of Stickles and rhinestones - I also used my trusty Cuttlebug to give some dimension. I need to make a run to Office Depot for the mini gel pens and then they will be complete. Thanks for looking!

Busy Weekend!!!

So I had a super busy weekend with tons of Girl Scout stuff to do. I did however sneak in some crafting time :0) I learned a very valuable lesson this weekend...don't start a large project with vinyl when you only have EXACTLY enough - something WILL rip, I promise. I jumped on the charger bandwagon - I have been wanting to do them since I saw everyone's last year.

I found these great chargers at Target for 4.99 a box. I used Kim Brights Beautiful Santa graphic and my Gypsy for the snowflakes and Believe. I must say, I cut this graphic last year with paper and it was much easier to weed in paper...not sure if I will do it in vinyl again. When I am able to finish the second one (when I receive the vinyl LOL) I will post it as well. Thanks for looking :0)
