Family Blog Hop~

Family is a special word that means more then those that are actually related to us. It is a word that means those that are close to us. Those that are there for us when we cry or laugh and just want to talk. Families are special and this is a special time to be thankful for our family be it big or small, near or far. Please join our crafters as...

they celebrate families through their creativeness and love.

Our hostess is Jearise from http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com and she will be having a special give away on her blog so make sure you start with her blog to see the prize and how to enter the drawing.

If you came from Melissa's blog you are in the right direction!

Here is my idea of FAMILY...

Ive been married for 7 years and have not blessed with a baby just yet, but I have 2 girl shih-tzu's and they are my little babies :)  I created a burlap frame with a picture of my little family.  I purchased a plastic wide frame from Michaels a couple of months back on clearance for 1.00, I grabbed it and I knew one day I will make something with it!  I adhered burlap to the frame and added embellishments and made a fabric flower.

I hope you enjoyed my project and hope to inspire you!

Thankful Bloghop~

Hello and welcome to the ‘Thankful’ Bloghop! This is the time of year we really reflect on what we have to be thankful for. One of those things I am thankful for is scrapbooking and all the crafts, supplies and people that go along with it. A group of people is joining me today, and tomorrow, to share projects that all have the word ‘thank’ on them.

In addition to seeing a lot of awesome creations, there is some blog candy available too. If you comment on everyone’s bloghop post you will be entered to win the goodies. You don’t have to become a follower of the ‘Afternoon Scrapper’ blog too, but it would be great if you did. The prize is a mix of paper, stickers, mists, stencils stickers and more as pictured here:
  


Here is my project, I saw this project on Pinterest a few months back with the word "thank" and she had also mentioned she purchased everything at her local dollar store.  Next day I went on a mission to find the similar items and I was so excited that I did! I bought the glass voltives and orange candles that smell so yummy.  I used cricut vinyl to cut out my letters.  I just love how easy and affordable this cute project turned out!  I hope my project inspires you to create one of your own!

I hope you enjoyed my project and thank you
for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Autumn Blessings Blog Hop 11/10~

Hello everyone and welcome to Autumn Blessings Blog Hop!
If you came from Christin's blog you are in the right place!
Today you will see 15 talented designers share with you their Autumn Blessing creations!  We hope to inspire you!
Here is my project.  I created a pennant burlap banner and used jute twine to hang it on the mirror.  Using the same twine I decided to make the word "fall" on it and cut out cream colored felt for contrast.  The leaves you see on the mirror are gel clings.  A simple but cute look above my mantel! 

Here it is again with the garland lights on :)

I hope you enjoyed my project today! Thanks for stopping by!
