Gifts from the Heart Blog Hop Day 1

Thank you so much for joining us for the Gifts from the Heart Blog Hop! If you've just started, be sure to click here and start at the beginning at SVG Attic's blog. If you have arrived from SVG Attic's Blog, then you are on the right track! 

For my 'Gift from the Heart' I decided to create a "snow globe" for my Mom. My mom is the kinda person that purchases all of the animated stuffed animals that sing and dance. Yes, yes, I know... she will push all the buttons in the store and have a grand ole time. I remember one year she just about purchased every animated character on the shelf. Anyway, she loves to decorate for Christmas and whenever I have created a new set, it goes to her. She will not allow me to recycle it. I am far from being a pack rat so I throw out anything I can, just ask my kids...

So onto my project....

Isn't it so cute?

I used the Paper Ornament Collection and only used 15 of the sections.

Created a base using basic shapes in SCAL.

Cut out the Church, Snowman, and Pine Tree from the Candy Cane Lane Collection.

I hope you like my project.. to give you an idea of the size, the church was cut out at 3.5" width, it's set to cut out at 11"... teenie tiny!

SVG Attic December Challenge Project

Here is my SVG Attic challenge project. I used FOUR different sets for this project. This month was color challenge using Red/Green/White/Pink/Blue. I chose Blue and White. For some reason I am into the blue and white this year! I even redecorated my house in blue and white, happy for me, not happy for the hubbys wallet! :)

So onto my project.

Here is the recipe for this project:

Box: Holly's Holiday Boxes ~ Caramel Apple Gift Box:

 I used the default size and cut out four 3/4" circles in the top for the tubes to sit in. I then created a 2.5" square top with 1" circles cut out to overlay and give dimension. I cut out three 2.5" squares for the front and two sides and embossed them with the Swiss Dots embossing folder by Cuttlebug.

Snowman: Build a Snowman ~ Snowman:

I sized the snowman to 2" wide and cut out the arms, hat and scarf. Popped him out with some foam dimension squares. The face is from Peachy Keen Stamps Funshine Face Parts.

Snowflake: All the Trimmings ~ Snowflake:

The snowflake is sized to 2.5" and I used one for each side of the box. I only cut the Bottom.svg and Middle.svg files. I then adorned with blue and white pearls, and blue rhinestones.

Caption: Cozy Christmas Captions ~ Snowballs: (ON SALE 40% OFF)

I sized the caption to 4" wide for all layers.

I used paper from pinkpaislee's Snow Day collection called warm mittens. I also used a white gelly pen to add stitching in various areas of the project. I used AC Cardstock for the blue solid color textured cardstock and Recollections cardstock for the white cardstock. I added "snowballs" using Recollections Glitter Shapes (Circle 3/4"). I inked most edges using ColorBox pigment ink stamps, Mulberry twine from the Twinery.

For the tubes I used Sparklink Yarn by Darice that I picked up at JoAnn's awhile back. I used Glue Dots to hold it in place and wrapped around top. Cut off excess peeking over lid and then hot glued a Recollectins Glitter Shape to the top. I filled the test tubes with "snowballs" yogurt covered raisins!

I hope you liked my project. Please stop by and enter the challenge here, and to view all the other design team members projects!

Happy Crafting!

Christmas in my Family Room

This year I decided to go with a non-traditional Christmas color, Teal. I have always wanted to do Teal, Silver, and White but never got around to it. A new craft store opened up about 20 minutes from me and I just fell in love with it. Hobby Lobby is such a great store. They carry EVERYTHING and I could totally live there. I purchased most of my decorations from them and some from Wal-Mart. Here are some photos.

Bleak Boo-quet!

Here is a boo-quet I made. I used a Styrofoam pumpkin from The Dollar Tree and spray painted it glossy black. Then I sprayed it with Easy Tack and glittered it with MS Black Glitter. I then took brown coffee filters, folded in half twice then inked the edges black. I took a 12" bamboo skewer and inked it black as well. I twisted the bottom of the coffee filter and spread it out to make a flower and attached to the skewer using wire, then poked it into the pumpkin and tied a small ribbon around it and hot glued the skewer into the pumpkin.

Glued a skull into the middle of the middle flower.

Cut out a tag from Echo Park Apothecary Emporium Paper and used Scrappy Mom's Stamps Betwitched stamp set. I used Trendy Twine's Halloween Twine to wrap the skewer and place a bow on it.

 I hope you like this, I enjoyed doing it and will see black glitter for weeks I'm sure! :)

Happy crafting everyone!

Halloween Wreath

So today I thought I would take time out of my busy "work" schedule and post something that has absolutely nothing to do with SVG's! :)

I saw a photo of a Halloween monster wreath in a small magazine at the checkout counter in Michael's a few months back. It is so adorable and I thought the kids would love it. It took me awhile to get my supplies since NO ONE within 40 miles of me sold rolled paper ribbon. I found an online store that is right next to hubby's work and sent him on his way. I decided to buy a few colors instead of just the "pumpkin" color since they are reasonably priced and far away from me.

I purchased the straw wreath at Michaels for $2.49 using my 40% off coupon. The paper ribbon cost about $2.50, the green fun fur was $4.99, but I used my coupon at Jo-Anns and saved 40%, and the assorted googley eyes I found at The Dollar Tree, so they were only $1. This was a fun project and fairly inexpensive. My carpel tunnel did not like this project as you have to unroll the paper ribbon.

Here is the first wreath.

I just love the way he looks, I do wish I added more green fun fur tho!

I have a double door entry to my beautiful home and I normally do matching wreaths but I wanted to make a different wreath for the other door. Very similar and the cost was exactly the same. Instead of purchasing googley eyes from The Dollar Tree I purchased a spiderweb.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a fabulous crafty day! :)

Market Street Stamps : October Paint the Town Color Challenge Entry

Today I was blog surfing and found Market Street Stamps newest challenge!

I got to work immediately. Hubby is on the way home early from work, I just finished up my day 2 project for the Fall Mash Up Blog Hop and thought I would squeeze in another project!

I just love using Market Street Stamps! They are so pretty, stylish and stamp crisp EVERY time! So easy to clean too!

So this challenge is a color challenge!

I just LOVE these colors! My favorite color combo is Coral and Turquoise so I HAD to enter the challenge!

Here is my card for the challenge.

I used the Bit of Burlap background stamp. When I purchased the backgrounds from MSS, I had forgotten to purchase an acrylic block big enough to stamp with! Ooops! (hehe)... I improvised, being a crafter, thats what we do! I used the clear block from my cuttlebug embossing machine. Who needs a big acrylic block anyway?!?!

I used my Glue Pad to glue the Bit of Burlap design down onto a coral cardstock from DCWV Mediterranean Stack. I then used my Martha Stewart "Turquoise" glitter and viola! a beautiful background!

I used the same coral cardstock and cut out the rounded corner tent card from SVG Attic's Tent Card SVG Collection. I cut out the insert using a spring green from DCWV's Mediterranean Stack. I used organza ribbon in the fresh grass green tone and created a bow.

I used the flowers from the MSS Autumn Greetings collection. I stamped twice, used one full stamp for the base, then cut out the middle flower from the second stamp and popped it up with a pop dot!

Tied some twine around the flower stems using PinkPaislee Daily Junque twine that I got from Paper Issues!

Thanks for stopping by!

Now on to my project!

 It took me a long time to decide on what I wanted to create. I actually just decided on Wednesday and got to work. I finally finished the project Thursday afternoon when I got my "The Uglies" face stamps in the mail from PKS. They are so stinkin cute!

In our home, we have family game night every week. We have at least 40 board games. Lately, my boys have been begging me to buy another game but our closet is too full and I have no more room. (If I bought another one, it would invade my craft space. Thats a big NO NO!) I chose to create a family Halloween themed board game fun for everyone. My inspiration.... King Candy from Candyland! :)

That ghost is sooo cute, I just love those Monster Mash faces! 

They are so much cuter with faces!

See that candy corn space on the board? Well, in the rules, if you land on it you get to jump three spaces because you are on a sugar high!

Look at those CUTE faces!

The Uglies!

I used the "Bare Trees" cuttlebug folder to emboss the Frightful Forest.

Just love that graveyard!
