Happy Monday morning to all of you!  Its a beautiful day outside even though its warming up here again.  I haven't had to much time to craft since I'm in the process of planning a BBQ for next weekend.  However I did slap this cute card together last week.

Butterfly Gifts

Happy Tuesday friends.  I'm going to try to make this post pretty quick since Clara is chomping at the bit to go outside.  I've been going through all my stuff that I've bought to alter and came up with a couple of gifts.  I'm trying to get a jump on Christmas and birthdays.

My projects fit all of these challenges: Crafty Creations #81 Butterflies, Fab 'n' Funky #36 Flower Power, little red wagon #42 altered item, Simon Says Challenge make a gift, Crafty Catz #46 Buttons and butterflies, One Stop Craft Challenge ##94 not a card

Here is a couple of views of the mug.  I really like how this turned out considering I only paid less than a dollar for the mug.  Now I'm on the hunt to find some more.  I wonder if the $store has any that are similar?

Don't you just love the post-it notes on this?  I think I got it from the Target $Spot last summer.  I wish I had more of them.

Ingredients:

Paper: DCWV-Blossoms & Butterflies

Embellishments: Prima-Flowers, irock-rhinestones, Target $Spot-ribbon, making memories-button

Tools: Martha Stewart Classic Butterfly Punch, Tulip heat setter

Other: coffee mug, photo frame, post-it pad

Have a fab day everyone!

Mini Celebration!

Well today has certainly been Monday!  I would have been perfectly happy to just get back in bed and pull the covers over my head until Tuesday. 

I made a set of 4 cupcake cards for my neighbor.  Each card is 2 7/8", perfect to tuck into a birthday gift.  I really enjoyed making them.  I might have to figure out a little box or something and make up a couple of sets to keep on hand as gifts.  As it happens these little cards fit into Simple Doodles Celebrate challenge and allsorts Mini Challenge.

Here is a close up of the wonderful cupcake with liquid applique.  I think it makes pretty good cupcake icing!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Stampendous-Freedom Cupcake

Paper: M&MBI-Chester Collection(Petunia)

Embellishments: Ribbon-Oriental Trading Company, Liquid Applique-pink

TGIF

Well we've almost made it through our first week of school without any meltdowns or major problems.  Rhalynn loves school and according to her "my new 1st grade teacher is sooooo cool!" 

I've been hunting through my crafty stash trying to find my mojo and I realized I have tons of 3D embellishments like the banner on this card so I thought that I would pull them out and try to use them.  Then I was browsing the challenge blogs and thought the Card Patterns sketch 77 couldn't have fit this banner better.  I just flipped it on its side and centered the elements.

Ingredients:

Stamp: Cloud 9-Birthday Quotes

Paper: Core'dinations-BM Amulet, Stampin' Up

Embellishments: Soft Spoken-Birthday Banners

Have a wonderful Friday and a spectacular weekend!!
