Baby Shower

Hello Friends,

Today I'm sharing with you some baby shower ideas.

I made these for my nieces baby shower.  She wanted a woodsie theme.

And I'm happy to say that she was very happy with every thing I made.

I love how the diaper cake came out.

The critters I used were cut out with my Cricut machine.  I used the 

"Create a Critter" cartridge.  One of my favorite cartridges.  I bought the fox that's on

top at Walmart.  I used trim, shredded paper grass and Medium size diapers.

But I didn't stop with the diaper cake.  I added a couple of them to paper

gift bag.  So super cute!  And then I made head bands as souvenirs

for our party guest.  The kids especially loved them.

I ordered the head bands from Amazon and just hot glued the

critters to the top.  

I then took a box and covered it up with card stock paper from the 

Accomplished collection by Authentique.  The banner was 

made from Burlap material. I just cut it into triangles and added some 

chipboard letters to spell out the word "cards."

I hope this inspired you for your next baby shower. 

Thanks for coming by.

Gorjuss note cards

Hello friends,

Today I'm sharing with you a couple of note cards I made using

 the Santoro's gorjuss girls stamps.  I just love them.  They remind me

so much of my girls and even myself growing up.

I used my copic markers to color them up.

These were for my grand daughters teachers.  I thought it

would be perfect for them since the gorjuss girls are 

standing on books.   I did nothing else but

pop up the images with pop-dots.   They are an A2 size card using white

card stock.  Which then I layered with pink card stock and finished it 

up with a designer one on top.  Very simple and yet super cute. 

This is the stamp set I used.

I hope you try a set of note cards as well and have fun.

Hugs, 

Yvette

Fall and Halloween decor

Hello, hello!!

I hope you are all doing well.  Today I wanted to share with you a couple of 

Fall and Halloween decors.   They're very simple and super easy to put together.

My first one is just using any doily, a big plastic spider and a frame of your 

choice.   Perfect to display around Halloween time.  Here is also a YT video

of how I put it together. https://youtu.be/_0F_a9Lt5C0 

My next one is using a canvas and vinyl. That's it! Very, very simple.

  I cut my images with my cricut machine.   

The crow and sign, as well as the spider are both from the 

Creepy Critters cartridge.   After cutting the images I used transfer paper to place

them down where I wanted.  The canvas size is 8 X 11.

And there you go!  Two great decors that were both fun and easy to put together.

I hope you give it a try as well.

Hugs,

Yvette

Trolls Note Cards

Hello everyone!

Wow!  It's been a while since my last post.

I hope everyone is doing well.  Today I wanted to share with you two 

note cards I made using the most adorable trolls.  Since the movie Trolls 

came out this year and I love them, I though it would be perfect

to make these for my grand daughter's teachers.

The image if from Sherri Baldy and she is scan 0059.  Which you can find here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/484159555/instant-download-digital-digi-stamps-big?ga_search_query=0059&ref=shop_items_search_1

I colored them with my copic markers.  The paper is from a 6 x 6

paper pad call Welcome Spring by American Crafts.

Here is a link to my video for more details:

Gifts for teachers

Hello!

I hope all is well with everyone.  It's the end of yet another

school year.  I just can't believe how fast time goes by.

Every year I make orange bags for the teachers.  They are just so

much fun to put together.  I made two of them this year.

"Orange you glad it's summer?"

I picked up an orange gift bag.  Then added a towel,  drinking cup,  soda, 

nail polish, gum, gold fish and an orange sewing kit.  I then made them a set 

of note cards and placed them inside a small fry box.

The fry box is a die from Stampin Up.

 Here is the free file I found for the tag on Pinterest.  I upload it, printed and

cut it out by hand.

I also found something else on Pinterst.  Can you tell I just love Pinterest!

I found the mitt and spatula at the dollar store and then I bought

the cookie dough at the supermarket.  Wrapped a ribbon around the

tag, and there you go.  A great gift for your teacher.

And here is the free download I found and printed.

 

I hope you find these ideas fun to give your favorite teachers,

or anyone else in your life.

Have a wonder day

Journal books

Hello my wonderful friends,

How is everyone doing?  Looks like Spring is finally

here.  And with beautiful weather comes beautiful weddings.

It's true when they say things come in 3's.  I know 3 couples 

that got engaged.  And so I made a journal for each of them.

I used the same paper stack "House of Roses"  

For a close look at the first 2 books, check out my 

You Tube video  Journal books .

And here they are:

This one is for a co worker on mine.  She's very sweet and

has a good heart.  I'm very happy for her and so I want to wish 

her the best.  Congrats Lucy and Jose!!!   

This one is for one of our own.  Olga!! She's Madstamper64 on YT.  She's a

 great crafter and a sweet heart as well.  She just announced her engagement.  

Congrats Olga and Ernesto!!

I wish you guys the best!

And last but not least.  This one is for my future sister in law.  

She's a sweetie pie.  I'm very happy for my brother.

My best wishes to all of you.

Sock Cupcake

Hello again.  Are you looking for a fun and cool gift.

 Here are a couple of Sock Cupcakes I made for my

grand daughters teachers for Valentine's Day.

 I cut a strip of pattern paper about 2 inches high.  

I then grabbed a pair of Valentine sock and rolled it up.  

Then I took the pattern paper and wrapped it around the roll up 

sock to make it look like a cupcake.   I then tied a ribbon

 and topped it with a heart as a final touch.  I was able to find the 

sentiment on Pinterest and just downloaded it and copied it.

I love the final results and the teachers loved them.

 I made the next two you see below for my grand daughters.

For them I used stocking instead.  They love fun stockings and

lucky me I was able to find some fun ones on Amazon.  I

also got them some M&M's with their picture of them.

I hope you get to try these as well.  It's something fun and cute

that anyone would love.  And best part is you can make them

any time of the year.  Maybe even a birthday.

Thanks for coming by.

Have a wonderful day.

Halloween treat boxes

Hello my friends,

October is here!!! And Halloween is around the corner.

My favorite part is watching all the kids with their cute costumes.

Some are very creative.  My grand daughter's are going to be

a leopard and a cheetah.  They are so excited.

Today I want to share with you some Halloween treat boxes I created.

These are also my DT project this month with FlairByMe.

All the laces I used as well as the buttons are from her shop.

They were so much fun to create.  For the legs I used the cricut

cartridge "Happy Haunting."

I will be adding some goodies and giving 3 of them to my grand

daughter's teachers and the other 2 are for my daughters.

Here is my You Tube video for details on how I made them.

I hope you are all having a great day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Card, junk journal and box

Hello my friends.

How is everyone doing today?  Looks like Fall weather is almost

here.  I love the Fall colors but not what follows.... Shhh Winter!  

I don't like Winter but I guess it's comforting to know that Spring 

will follow.  And that's good.  :-) 

So today I want to share 3 things I made for my design team project

with Mel's Craft Boutique.  

I used a lot of beautiful items from Mel's shop on this card.  I then sent it

to my mother in law for her birthday, along with the following junk journal I

made for her also using items from the shop.

Here is my You Tube video on this card and book if you 

want to check them out more closely.

I also altered the following box.

Now this little box was fun.  I believe I picked it up once at

the dollar store.  It's very simple yet cute.  Here is the

You Tube video on this altered box.

And that is it for today.  I hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Yvette

Orange you glad…

Hello everyone,

This past June when the school year ended I gave the

teachers orange bags.  Eveything inside the bag was orange.

I added a tag that said "Orange you glad it's summer?"

The teachers loved it.  These teachers worked during the summer 

as well half a day, but they still love it.

This is the 2nd year I've done this and it's been a hit both time.

I hope you try it out.  Between the sentiment and the contents, I promise 

you that it will be fun to give as well as receive.
Here is my You Tube video if you would like to see it closer.

Take care everyone.

hugs,

Yvette

Quotes on canvas

Hello friends,  I'm back this time with a couple of

my favorite quotes that I added each to a canvas.  I had a

great time making them. 

For the first one I used an old book.  I cut some of the pages 

out and used Mod Podge to adhere them down to the canvas.

The letters were cut with my Cricut expression using the letters

for the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge.  After the letter were down I

went ahead and used Mod Podge all over it to seal every thing down.

Here is my 2nd one.

For this one I sprayed it down using Lindys sprays.  

Ocean Breeze Blue and Whale Watch Blue.

On this one I cut the letters from the cartridge Jasmine, using my 

Cricut expression again.  Then once again I 

sealed everything with Mod Podge.  

And those are my two canvas.  I will be making more of them since it

was fun making them.  I hope you give it a try as well.

Have a great day

Altered box and mini book

Hello my friends

I hope everyone is well today.  Looks like the Fall is

almost here.  I'm excited about the Fall colors but not the

Winter that follows it.  LOL.  Well onto my DT project for

Mel's Craft Boutique.

Today I have 2 projects I want to share.  One is an altered box 

I picked up at the dollar store, and the second one is an altered

mini file folder book.  I used beautiful items from 

Mel's Craft Boutique on both of them.

Here is my YOU TUBE video on both of them.

I hope you like them and get inspired to create your own.

Have a great day.

Die Cutting Divas sketch challenge

Hello friends,

I am happy to say that I was asked to be a guest for the

Die Cuttin Divas.   The challenge is a sketch, which is one

of my favorite things to do.   I find it challenging and inspiring.

So here is my take on the sketch that follows:

 For my image I choose Olaf.  I used the new Frozen Cricut cartridge.

I had fun cutting him out at about 4 inches.   The paper pad I used is call

"The Sweetest thing ~ tangerine" by My Mind's Eye.

I hope you're having a great day and thanks again Diva's for having me 

as your guest.  

Hugs,

Yvette

Fancy Pillow Boxes

Hello there

I hope everyone is doing well and being creative.  

Today I want to share with you a project I made for

Mel's Craft Boutique .  For my design team project I created some

pillow boxes using my memory keepers pillow box punch.  I do

have to admit that  I got this idea from Pinterest.  I altered them to

look like purses using supplies from Mel's Craft Boutique.

You can add goodies inside and even a gift card fits perfectly.

Here is my YOU TUBE video if you would like to see the details.

Go check out Mel's shop for all the beautiful laces and trims I used

to make these beautiful boxes.  

Take care 

hugs,

Yvette
