Christmas Planner

Hi Everyone,

I was having some trouble getting into the holiday spirit this early to get all my cards made, so I decided to make myself a Christmas Planner.

I made the entire planner using one manila file folder! I love how it turned out and I can just change the label on the front and use it from year to year!

Have a great day!

Birthday Invitation

Hi Everyone,

My oldest is turning 3 next month and we are actually having his party at a farm!! He is so excited and I wanted to stick with a farm theme :-) I love my create a critter cartridge and used my design studio to measure the barn and get rid of the heart that was on there. I also had this adorable cow on there to which is perfect. For the party hat, balloons, and present I used my newest cartridge, Birthday Bash! It was perfect for the finishing touches! He loves looking at his invitation :-) I will post more pics of the party favors once I figure out what I am going to do!

Thanks for looking!

Rest in "Pieces"

Hi crafty friends!

Today, I have a fun little Halloween goodie for you :-) I traced some coffins from a coffin candy container I found at Walmart for a dollar. Originally, I was going to just put a bunch of candy in there but then I got to thinkin (which is never a good thing!!) I knew I had some tombstones on my Mini Monsters cart so I cut it at 2 inches and shadowed it. I took a white paint pen and wrote the words "Rest in Pieces" and then inked it with silver ink. I filled a mini clear bag with Reese's Pieces and attached the tombstone to it, laid it in the coffin on top of some tissue paper, then finished it off with a ribbon and plastic spider. I really love how they turned out and think they are a lot of fun, plus they are super easy to make!

Happy Turkey Day!

Hi Everyone,

There is so much attention paid to Halloween and Christmas, that sometimes I start to feel sorry for Thanksgiving :-) I found this adorable paper and Ribbon at Hobby Lobby, used a Pink Cricut stamp set, and finished it off with this cute leaf brad that I found in a set at Target in the dollar section!! I really liked how it turned out :-) This is going out to the winner of my first giveaway (she chose Thanksgiving!) I am offering a Thanksgiving special. For a limited time, these are only $6 each, normally $8! If you would like to order, please send me and email at calbekah@aol.com

Enjoy!

Fun Halloween goodie jar!

Hi Everyone!

My husband is a teacher and has a couple really good teacher friends that I wanted to do something special for. I found these adorable containers (really heavy duty!) at the dollar store. I love the design on them so just decided to fill them with some candy and pumpkin poop :-) Of course, I needed to spruce it up a little, so I added a tag from Sweet Treats, my drippy goo punch and some of the plastic spider rings (with the ring part cut off). I tied it off with some curling ribbon and really like how it turned out. It was super easy and he called me and told me they really enjoyed them :-)

Brightening someone else's day is the best part of crafting for me because I love to see the smile that it brings :-)

Baby Shower gift and card

Hey Everyone,
I decided to take a break from all of the Halloween madness and get ready for a baby shower I am going to tomorrow! I wish I could claim this card as my own design, but it's not :-( I found this over at the canadiennickelscrap'n.blogspot.com She used the two panel shapes from the George cartridge and then shadowed them. I love it so much and thought it would be perfect. Instead of a cake like she did though, I added this adorable sillohuette of this pregnant mommy from New Arrival! I love how it turned out!
Next, I wanted to make one of my bind it all "post it note" holders for her. Any new mom would love to have a place to jot things down so they don't forget :-) I cute the little scalloped circles at 1 1/2 and 1 inches to layer them, then I hand wrote 'New Mommy" inside. I really like how it turned out and how these can be decorated for any occasion!



Keep checking back! There is a good chance there will be another giveaway in the near future and you don't want to miss it!
