~Upcoming Blog Hop, X-acto Fun, Birthday Fun~

Good morning!

I was up at 5am this morning and headed out

quite early, so I could pick up a bike for my son for his birthday

and beat this awful heat!

I don't have a project to share today but I do have

a fun BLOG HOP coming up!

Thursday the 23rd SFTIO is having a blog hop!

SO be sure to tune in. I will have prizes and so will they.

At the end you could win a KIT! WOOT WOOT!

Also Dirty Scraps will be one of the blogs on the hop!

While I was driving this morning I heard one of my favorite

songs on the radio. This was a quote from the song

And its funny how it`s the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There`s no dollar sign on a peace of mind

I love the Zac Brown Band

thought I would share :)

Remember those Xacto Scissors I showed you yesterday?

The ones form my BZZ kit?

I thought I would show you the whole package...

I am excited to test out the products.

I never know Elmer's made X-acto.

I also did not know X-acto made corner rounders

I am really excited to see how this works.

Have any of my blog friends tried any of these?

Let me know what you think before I try them out!

I would really be interested to see how the glue holds after a couple months.

My last tape runner turned yellow and fell apart :(

So far everything from my Glue Glider Pro has been awesome.

Even months down the line...so I thinking that might be my

go to tape runner from now on.

OK I am off to prep pillowcases for Saturday and

dig up recipes for Sunday.

We have the sewing for Conkerr event Saturday

and Sunday I have 2 parties to throw for my boys!

It is birthday season my friend. :)

See y'all tomorrow!

~Thanks for popping by~

~Monday?? Already? New favorite technique & Giveaway too!~

Good morning, can you believe it is Monday already?

I feel like this weekend shot past me.

I did work on a few projects but most of them are for

my DT work and won't be revealed for a while.

In the mean time I wanted to share my new

favorite technique with y'all.

I made this card using my Cricut Expression,

the Cindy Loo cartridge, Glossy Accents *Ranger*, PK Glitz Glitter,

and paint. But not just any paint!

I have discovered old gummy paint LOL

It is awesome! You can do it my way...or shortcut it.

My way is to use half a bottle of acrylic paint

then leave it for 4 months until it gets gummy

OR you can pour new paint onto a plate, add some

waterbased glue to it (the standard school kind)

let it set for 20 minutes or 1 hour, until it gets gummy

then spread it on your project.

For the best results I use my fingers.

I play with it like plaster. It leave great dimension without

the ugly shine. It will also crack beautifully if you

use a heat gun on it.

What do you think? Fun right?

Ok on to the giveaway, I have sitting here from CHA

2 SIGNED Tim Holtz Embossing Folders!

Yea that's right....Woot Woot!

And as of today we are at 724 followers.

I would love to hit 750 this week, my goal is 1000 by

December for Christmas, I hope anyways.

Come on guys help me out here!
Leave a comment, spread the word! :)

Just a little secret, I am working on getting a

Cricut to giveaway at 1000 followers! So it's going to be BIG! :)

~Happy Monday!!!!!!!!!!~

~Thanks for stopping by!~

~Have a beautiful day~
