Decorate To Celebrate - Shamrock Garland

Happy Wednesday!

I am so glad it's March!
Spring is in the Air :)

With March comes all things Green, right?!?!

For my project over at Decorate To Celebrate,
I decided to make a Shamrock Garland :)





I got this idea from Pinterest and thought I would give it a try!
But I must give credit where credit is due so here is the link

These were fun (and easy) to make and the kids love them :)

BBTB2 - Leap Year

Happy Monday!!!

Happy Leap Year too!!!

In honor of this day, 
which only comes around
every 4 years,
BBTB2 has dedicated this week's
challenge to anything that is
Leaping or Jumping :)


I decided to use this adorable little girl
Jump Roping from the Playtime cartridge.

My papers were all from my scrap stash.
The sentiment is from American Crafts.

I used PKS Princess Faces and
Glitter Dots from Michael's.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2
this week for a "Leaping" Good Time :)

I popped the images up with some foam tape.

Cut It Up - Leap Year!

Happy Friday!

Welcome to another challenge over at Cut It Up!

Cut It Up

Today our theme is centered around
LEAP YEAR!!!
Be sure to include a frog on your project :)


Sponsored by:
Prize: 7 Free Images

My Project:
With Bugaboo Stamps being the sponsor,
they let us pick one of their awesome
Frog Images to use for our projects.

I LOVE this image!

I used my Bic Mark-It's to color the image.

I used a Spellbinders Nestabilities Die Cut to cut out the image
with a fun border and shadowed it with some pink cardstock.
I just rounded those corners with my Hobby Lobby corner punch.

My papers all came from my scrap stash
and I just kind of pieced the layout together.

The glitter dots came from Michael's.

I think this is a pretty cute card :)

I hope you will join us for our challenge!

Decorate To Celebrate! Valentine's Style

Happy Wednesday!!!

Welcome to another Anything Goes Challenge

I know, I know, Valentine's is over,
but I had to share a fun treat box I made...

This Scepter Box is found
on the Life's A Party Cartridge.

I cut it at 9 1/4".
The heart design paper is from American Crafts.
I just used some craft, pink, and white card stock
for the mat.

I filled it up with some chocolate covered raisins
tied the top together with some fun ribbon,
and WHALA...
a perfect Valentine's to give to a special someone!

BBTB2 - National Gum Drop Day!


Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a "Lovely" Valentine's Day!

Today over at BBTB2, I am hosting this week's challenge :)

I decided to look up what the "National Day" was for today
and it is National Gum Drop Day - LOVE it!

So I decided we should all use candy on our projects.
I kind of like candy ;)

I used Something to Celebrate for these 3 pieces of candy.

All my paper was from my scrap stash -
I am really trying to use my scraps
there are SO MANY!!!

My sentiment is combined from two Fiskars sets.

The layout for my card is from Mary over at CardzTV.
I love her and her ideas, she's amazing!

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2
for this week's challenge!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Valentine Hearts

Happy Monday!

I absolutely CANNOT believe that Valentine's Day
is this week!

Friday, I am helping in my son's 1st grade class
for the party, I swear the Christmas party was just yesterday!

Anyway, over at BBTB2 our challenge is centered
around Valentine's Hearts :)


I am going to be making some YUMMY Sugar Cookies
this week for my co-workers and I have a plan to
package them super cute and these will be the tags :)

I used Art Philosophy for the tag and the heart.
My pink chevron paper is from Echo Park
and the glitter paper is from
The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).

I did use some foam tape to pop up the heart.

The sentiment, which I LOVE, is from a Fiskars set.
The twine is from We R Memory Keepers.
