Pink-n-blue

 

I found this ribbon at my local craft store & had to buy it in every color.

 

The card is so basic, but I did take time to emboss & punch the edge.

 

 

Birthday Train

I gave my Cricut machine a workout making this banner for my 4 year's birthday!  He just loves trains & my big door in the dining room is a good place to hang a banner!

 

 

 

 

 

The project was easy, with layering roof & wheels.  A hole punch was used to weave the thin ribbon through.  I cut the letters to add on using my sticker maker.  That was a life saver!

 

 

B*A*B*Y

Here is an appropriate Friday project.
A little something different to get your weekend creative mojo going!

THIS OLD FRAME WAS REVITALIZED WITH:

 

DUCT TAPE

 

 

THE GROVES GAVE ME A NATURAL GUIDE.

 

 

THE LETTERS WERE CUT WITH MY CRICUT.

 

CONSIDER DUCT TAPE THE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO REVAMP AN OLD ITEM OR WHIP OUT A QUICK HOME DECOR ITEM. 

 



Fun With Friends

Just wanted to share a fun photo of my sister, cousin, friend & I at our favorite scrapbook retreat!  There is a fun contest going on over at the Authentique blog about mustaches.  I think they are silly & fun.  I've even sold several mustaches on a stick in my craft booth.  They were hot items right before prom in the spring!

 

In the photograph, I'm the one with a goatee!  We laughed so hard at my cousin wearing the "walrus" mustache.  The paper mustaches were simply cute twice then sandwiched in between them was the skewer sticks with a hot glue gun securing it shut.

American Birthday

I know the holiday is long gone, but a little red white & blue can still be fun on cards!  I made a few using Bobunny paper scraps.  These would be great for anyone in the military or an all American kid!

 

 

The Happy Birthday stamps are CTMH & I just love that the acrylics can be curved onto the block!  The gems on the little white stars are hard to see.  How great is that weathered looking sunburst?!

 



Using Brass

I'm playing along with Vintaj Brass Company's challenge: Asian Lanterns

Using the Cricut, I made Pagoda cartridge paper lanterns.  Then using brass chain, I formed delicate tassels on this special page.  My sister & son share a birthday, being only a day apart.  The asian symbol for "celebrate" fit on a brass blank & some silk ribbon streams from the charm.

 

 

 

Voting for this page runs from September 3-7th.  Head over to Vintaj & vote for #3 , the only scrapbooking entry!  Thanks folks.

 



 

 

 

*** STARS ***

Today I'm sharing my entry for the Unity Stamp Company challenge. 

 The theme is *STARS*, but that's pretty obvious by looking at my entry!

 

 I used an Itty Bitty sentiment called Celebrate.
The big star was die cut on my Cricut. 

 The paper is some old K&Company.

 

I couldn't resist adding some glitter on to emphasize the green "celebrate".
