Winnie the Pooh Banner

My friend's little one had his birthday and his favorite is Winnie the Pooh! I wanted to help out and make a banner for the event! I'm obsessed with the bee embossing folder, it's so cute, I ordered it just for this project. I'm also obsessed with my circuit explore (that's how I made this banner). I have been a circuit fan for a long time and then the explore came out and I am an even bigger fan! I will be sharing projects in the future as well, so if you have an explore keep a look out!

I haven't had much time to be in my craft room, I've been staying downstairs with puppy as he recovers from surgery. After some bumps in the road we are on our way to being back 100%. Yesterday was national dog day, I included a picture of my furry babies!

Turning Two Banner

Hello Crafty World! I am sure all of you are just as busy as we are getting ready for the holidays, craft fairs and life in general. I have been creating like crazy just not too much time to post. Plus I have lots of fun things planned for my blog.

The other day I found a big file of photos of my previous creations, I was so relieved. I had been looking for the pictures for a long time. This is was one of my favorite to make. So whimsical and girly at the same time. After the birthday I took out "is 2" so it could be hung in Norah's room! The flowers are from this Sizzix die, they are very easy to use and lots of fun. Since the die is a bigz die you can cut it out of fabric or felt and have the die go even further!

Baby Guest Book

I got a last minute request to make a small baby guest book for a baby shower. I can't say no to help making a shower more special and having a place to treasure some of the memories from that day. Thankfully I have a big collection of paper, dies and embellishment to make the project.

I didn't want to stick to a square or basic shape album, so I changed it up and decided to go with a baby onesie shape. Seriously how cute is this?! I picked lighter shades of blue and added a grey tone in their too. I wanted the pages to have enough space for the guest to write a special message, so I added the different icons/characters at the bottom of the page. The entire book is make with just cardstock :)

The die is from Sizzix (Baby Onesie) but unfortunately I don't see it on the sizzix site or anywhere else online :( Here is the item on Amazon. If you have a cricut they do sell cartridges with onesie images or in the Design Studio there is lots of onesie's available with the subscription. Non subscription user their is even a free onesie (#M4361B).

CHD Warrior Banner

Hello World! I have been absent for a while. I took some time to focus on me and getting better from Lyme (boo ticks). A lot has been going on and it's been great! We got a new puppy and she is keeping the family busy.

I having an amazing friend who has the best family ever, but Baby Jake is a CHD Warrior! He has had multiple heart surgeries but is finally home and doing well! You can support Baby Jake and watch him grow on his facebook page: Prayers for Baby Jake. Jake even had the support of the entire community and was featured in the local newspaper! I had the opportunity to make a banner for some photos Baby Jake was having with the talented Katie P. Photography.

Turbo Birthday Banner

Last week we had the hard choice to let our kitty go over the rainbow bridge. I took some time to reflect and remember all the wonderful times we had together. Our puppy took it the hardest and still misses his best friend. Me and puppy have been spending extra time together and he is even more of a cuddle bug. I think is doing much better and having play dates with his friend has helped.

So I am back to blogging and here is one of my creations! A request for a turbo banner came in and I couldn't pass up the chance to try it out! I love the metal plate looking embossing folder, it added the perfect amount of texture too!

I've been working behind the scenes too, so lots of fun things to come too! Have a great Tuesday!

Tricycle Themed Birthday Party

Happy Monday! The weekend went by too fast but it was great. We had a puppy play date at our house and there were over 10 dogs here, I even made homemade dog treats! I even had time to play in my craft room! I wanted to share an order I made for a tricycle themed birthday party!

I had lots of fun making the banner and party decor. I got to see the party all set up and pictures from the event, which is always my favorite! This is such a cute idea for any age, the guest got to bring there bikes and decorate and then have a parade! It couldn't be anymore adorable!

BoBunny Layout and Card

Its Wonderful Wednesday and summer is in full swing here; playing outside in the sprinklers, tank tops and afternoon showers.

I absolutely adore the local scrapbook store, The Creative Nook, and being on the design team is so much fun! Everyone is great, I get to see the new goodies come in and I always enjoy when I go visit. Here is a recent layout and card I made to be displayed in the store. Its been a while since I have created a layout and I love it! I need to spend some time just printing pictures so I can scrap more :)

Every time I create something and there is extra's I put them in a drawer which I call a "treasure box". I have had the sizzix flip card die for some time and wanted to try it out!  So with die in hand and the goodies from my treasure box I created the card below!

Keep Calm and Baby Canvas

Happy Monday! It has been crazy and I have been working behind the scene on multiple things: the blog, life, doggie training, creating and organize the craft rooms!

A friend of mine found out she was pregnant, so exciting! I wanted to make a little something to celebrate the joyful news. I have always been a fan of the "Keep Calm" thing, so I thought I would recreate it on a canvas. Don't get me wrong the prints are great, but I wanted it to have some dimension and who doesn't love to paint! So with my cricut in tow and some test cuts needed, I figured out the perfect ratio. I did debate on the icon and after consulting with my mom via Facetime, we liked the pacifier :-) Tada the finished project!

Dog Banner

Happy Tuesday! We had a really nice long weekend. Our main focus was our big to do list and relax! Of course there was lots of BBQ's and yummy food! I hope you all had a nice weekend and were able to take a moment to remember all those who have fallen and those that serve our country.

This project was created for a photographer friend of mine, who had his studio all set up at the local animal rescue fair. I was more than happy to help and make a banner for the background. Anything for the animals! When you have a moment hop on over to his facebook page and/or website. Make sure you tell them K (heart) Studio sent you :)

Mickey Mouse Birthday & Nautical Name Banner

Happy Monday! I can't believe its almost the end of March already, I feel like time is flying by. I have lots of orders coming in so that is keeping me busy and I'm super excited about starting my design team projects.

This is a banner set I made for one of my favorite little men in my life ;) My friend was having a Mickey Mouse/nautical theme birthday party, but wanted Gavin's banner to be able to go in his room afterwards! So we kept the color scheme the same and added some little accents to make it more mickey theme or nautical theme!

My Little Pony Birthday Banner

As you have seen before I made a My Little Pony banner for one of my favorite tiny humans! (Yes that's a Grey's Anatomy term, totally obsessed with the show!) Well her birthday was coming up and of course we needed a coordinating banner! So Tada!

I used the same color combo but embossed the back rounds and put her favorite ponies at the end! The party was so much fun and there were ponies everywhere! I am a pony fan so it was awesome!

Thank you for all the well wishes for my interview at the LSS! Guess what?! She loved my work and I am officially a part of the design team! I already picked some goodies out and can't wait to get started on one of the many projects to come!
