Springtime Cards using FREE paper!!!!

Even as a Independent Demonstrator I am taking full advantage of the SALE-A-BRATION! I bought the Easter Blossoms stamp set from the new Occasions Mini along with the 2 3/8 Scallop Punch and I got the Ice Cream Parlor paper kit Free. I LOVE this time of year. I also used the top coat which is pretty cool. It doesn't show in the picture as well but there is a shimmer on the little girl and her basket of eggs. Lots of fun! If you don't have you Occasions Mini or your SALE-A-BRATION Catalina there is still time to order. Email me for your free catalog! I'll keep mastering my photo taking for a better picture.

Valentine's Sour Cream Containers

I used Me & My Big Ideas Valentine paper. Cut 5" x4", use double sided adhesive down the 4" side and roll. Put a 2 1/2" strip of double sided adhesive on one end of the tube and seal. Run it through the crimper about 2 clicks. Fill with your treat and repeat the 2 1/2" strip of adhesive on the other end. Run through the crimper 2 clicks making sure not to get your treat caught! The mini cards are made from the 2" strips left of the 12x12 paper. We made 30 containers. The front of the mini card are made with the 1 3/4" scallop circle and 1 3/8 circle punches from Stampin' Up. My 8 year old had a blast making them. See what happens when I clean my scrapbook room?!?! heres a link for the photos I'm having some technical difficulties. It will also pass by on my creative slideshow at the bottom of my blog.

Daily Crafting Challenges Anyone?!?!?!

Now that I'm feeling better I am going to spend more time doing what I love... Crafting. I think the best way to truly do this is to do something everyday. They say if you do something everyday for 30 days you create a habit. So I am changing my obsession to a well-developed habit. My first challenge is to make my room user friendly. It has become the dumping ground for everything my husband doesn't want to find the real home for. This epidemic begins today...well when I wake up at a normal hour not 2:45 in the morning. So today's official challenge is to pick everything up in my room and find it's home so I can put my wonderful creativity to work...Good Luck!!! Tell me what did you do today?

Girl Scout Peace

We always make t-shirts for every event we do with my girl scout troop. I used Sure-Cuts-A-Lot and my Cricut Expression to make the peace sign and the troop sign. I used clear shelf paper to cut out of because its a lot cheaper than vinyl. I used the spray cannon to spray the shirts with pink and neon green. When I removed the stencil the peace sign didnt pop enough. I used fabric markers to outline the stencils. I did 10 shirts in about an hour.
