Hot Cocoa Blog Hop~

Hot cocoa on a cold winter's night will warm us through

Jearise from http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com is our hostess and she has a special give away on her blog so make sure you start there to see what she has and how to qualify for the drawing.
Let's get warmed up here...

You are my Sunshine mobile~

Hello Everyone
I love mobils but I wanted to make something different.  I came up with this idea!  I used my cricut for all the die-cuts and used fish line to put it all together.  I taped the fish line to the back piece of the cut then glued the same die-cut behind it. 
Cartridges I used~
Plantin Scrapbook 
sun and rays
letters
hearts
Art Philosophy

Hope you liked my project and thank you all for stopping by and have an awesome weekend!

Hi, thank you for stopping by my blog!

I decided to create a project dedicated to my little family. My wonderful husband David that I have been married to for 6 years now and my two Shih-Tzu doggies, Biscuit and Cookie. My little family truly lights up my life in so many ways. Whether life gives me days of rain, sunshine or rainbows, I can always count on my husband to be silly with me and make me laugh and always rely on my doggies to lick my tears away :) This is a wood house I found at Michaels. I decided to paint it my favorite colors, and cut/fit scrapbook paper pieces into the cubby holes. For the banner I used Cricut Cartridge- Birthday Bash. The number 6 you see is for the years I have been married :)

By the way I do have blog candy here at my blog yayyyyy

Become a new blog follower and you will be entered to win a 10.00 gift card to Michaels!

Graduation Letters

I received a request from my co-worker to decorate 4 wood letters for her graduation party this weekend.  I wasn’t sure where to even start because I have never worked with wood letters before.  I found the letters at Michaels for 1.99 and decided to use glitter paint to make the letters really pop!  I made the letters with my handy Cricut machine and used graduation embellishments.  For the diploma, I simply rolled up a piece of paper and did the hat by freehand.  I used a bookmark for the tassel.  Im very happy with the turn out, I think they came out fabulous for a first timer!

Wishing everyone a fantastic week!
Congrats Tamara!

Butterfly Mobile

Live Your Beautiful Life~
I've been wanting to make this project for a long time now, I just could not find the time to create it!  I have to remind myself sometimes that it's important to make time to do things that make you happy.  It is so easy to forget about yourself in the everday shuffle called life.   How do you make time, to do the things that make you happy?  You can easily turn this project into your very own.  You can add your personal touch to your mobile by personalizing it for a nursery by using alphabet letters, pictures or a matching theme from the nursery.  This project can also be made for a teenagers room or for any other occasion.  The possibilities are endless.
