Happy Birthday Banner

I finally got to play with my cricut and I forgot how much I loved it! I had lots of fun making this banner for a new friend :) I wanted to add a little pizzazz so I embossed the label shapes. I can't wait for the new year and to play some more with my cricut!!!

Wedding Frame

Happy August 1st! I can't believe its already August, this year has flown by fast. It's pouring here and I'm getting ready for a little road trip this weekend for a wedding back home. I can't wait too see my furry family and friends, plus hang out with my mummy! She is my BFF and I made her this recent project for her from my wedding :) This is project 4/50. Happy Art Making and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, see you next week!

Kiss Can

It has been super hectic here but fun! August is quickly approaching and for me, that means school (hopefully) and weddings! This was another gift I made for hubby while he was on deployment. This is a plain paint can I purchased and decorated it! I filled it with kisses, the candy kind of course :) After we moved I was so happy to find it in the boxes while unpacking and glad it made it safely back to the USA with hubby. Thanks for checking out my work! Happy Art Making!!!!

52 Reasons

I've been sick this week, getting lots of rest and finally feeling better, so I'm back with a postie! This is a project I made for hubby while he was on deployment :) There are lots of different ways to make this gift for your special someone. I'm not a big fan of my own hand writing so I typed out the reasons and glued them to the cards and used washi tape to add something to it, plus it helps hold them down. I actually came up with more than 52 reasons why I love hubby so some of the cards have reason's on both sides. Hubby likes to play cards, so I found a set of cards that were actually used at a casino, that was by shear luck too! Thanks for looking and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Happy Art Making :-)

Cards: Dollar Store. Sticker (52), Binder Rings, Ribbon: Junkitz. Sticker (things I love about you): 7 gypsies. Washi Tape: Queen and Co. Ribbon: Unknown.

Scrap Time

I had this clock kit for a while, I purchased it at a scrapbook expo. I finally got to crack it open, I switched out the papers and embellishment, because I wanted to keep it in the scrapbook room and needed it to coordinate with our color scheme, which is pink, black and white. I can't wait to hang it up in the room. The original quote was "time flies when your having fun", well my type of fun is scrapping so I changed the words. And you know what time does fly when you scrap :)

The clock is just a general clock with a plastic clear cover. The patterned paper/cardstock is from Bazzill/Heidi Swapp, it was from event and I was at the Bazzill store and they had some extra packets. Seriously some rockin paper. I love cardstock paper with patterened, I recently explored the Bazzill website and saw the CHA catalog awesome, they came out with patterned paper, I so need it! The chipboard numbers are just covered in glitter and from Junkitz. The bird sticker is also from Heidi Swapp, I put it on top of patterened paper and cut it out.

HINT: When you do this make sure you test some of your embellishments with the clock lid on before you glue and the clock hands ;)
