Fall Theme Luminaries Instructions Included!

 Happy Monday friends, 

Most of you know my son has Autism, this weekend was so cool because he competed
in an archery tournament. You know he quit baseball because the coaches
were s intense with him, he had nightmares and was picked on by
the "cool" kids...so archery has been a BLESSING in so many ways.
A sport that he not only seems to be starting well at but also
no one bullies him or YELLS at him to do better or HIT THE BALL!
I love that the sport is coached by officers who care so much.

Anyways he won the "Spirit Award" this weekend. great weekend for him.

Anyways he is so scared of the dark, and lately we have had power outages 

in our area, so I decided to make him these little luminary bags to set

on his dresser when the power goes out. 

Inside they contain a battery operated flameless candle, completely 

safe and perfect to keep him feeling comforted. 

If you go to the Samantha Walker Blog you will find a set of step

by step instructions to make your own using Krylon paint paired with SW cut files!

These would also make wonderful holiday table decor, or even

on your TV stand etc....they are so easy to make and pretty to boot!

Holiday Tri-Fold Frame Acrylic IS Fun!

Morning friends, it's been a crazy week so far. 

With the boys sick last week and mom sick this weekend I still managed to

squeeze in some crafty time. 

Actually this is my favorite time of year to craft because I love the holiday

glitter and shine that happens!

For this project I used Gold Krylon paint, along with Clear Scraps Mascils, 

Tri-Fold Frame, and Flower Mixers. 

And some beautiful ribbon from  Ribbons Unlimited along with some 

Connie Crystal crystals, and CutCardStock. 

I am happy with how it turned out. 

What gifts are you making this year??

Owl Hair Bow W/ Tulle

 Happy FRIDAY friends!!! I am so happy this week is over LOL 

Fall break begins for us now, so excited to have my boys home. 

I am still working on kit projects from Creating Made Easy and I decided

to get a little wild with this kit, first I created the Tic Tac BOO game.

Then I decided to create this fall owl hair bow. 

Now I am not bow maker but this one just screamed to me 

In each kit you will find instructions for this bow as well as all

four of my projects!! WOOT! So happy about that. 

Here is the kit and it's a steal, grab it before it sells out, I just love it!

I sealed the glitter on the back of the owl so it's not loose glitter. 

I love the fall colors.

Hello Summer...Goodbye Summer...

Hey there friends, can you believe it? I blogged

TWO day in a row with a project!

This one is a fun Clear Scraps Half Scallop Send It Clear Card using

Simple Stories and Ribbons Unlimited Ribbon (love the Ombre Ribbon)

 I used a clear acetate frame from Simple Stories and cut it down to

fit the bottom flap, then added Liquid Pearls to the half scallop. 

 I love the beachy theme and feel.

 I was going to use alcohol inks but I loved it the way it was...

the only thing I wish I had was some Mudd Puddles sand to add! 

That would have been perfect!

That's it for me, don't forget the SW blog hop tomorrow!

Happy Tuesday friends.....

Birthday Girl Gift Set With Button Lovers

Hey friends, I am back and it is MONDAY! :) 

I have a project I created quite a while ago to share today- it

was for Button Lovers, you know I send some of my special projects

in once in a while to them.

 And I topped them off with the beautiful buttons. 

 Here is one side of the wand. 

 And the other, it was such a fun set to make!

Every piece was made with love.

Blumenthal Lansing Buttons,

 White Gift Bag,

 Liquid Pearls,

 Ribbons Unlimited Ribbon.

Love And Joy With Buttons!

Good morning! 

As you know I do several projects for Blumenthal Lansing

aka Button Lovers..and this was a project I did for one of their

ad promos I believe? I am never sure where they land. :) 

 It's an acrylic mini album I created using Clear Scraps. 

 Plenty of cool buttons too! I mean of course, it is Button Lovers after all. 

Every page was adhered using my Xyron 9" Creative Station.

The Buttons were stuck on with Xyron Adhesive Dots.

I ope you like the album- you never know where you might spot it! 

Love me some Blumenthal Lansing buttons, the best there is. 

See you tomorrow!

Party with Buttons, Xyron, and Anna Griffin

Hey there friends happy Tuesday,

I received these amazing buttons this week and had to use them

so I grabbed some beautiful Anna Griffin tags and went crazy!

 I used Ribbons Unlimted Dazzle Ribbons and stitched the tags to

it using a zig zag stitch on my sewing machine. 

Then I adhere to Button Lover's Buttons using Xyron Adhesive Dots. 

How fun is this banner? I love it. 

 All the colors and textures make me smile. 

 It's not too big, not too small and used up some leftover Thickers!

Next time you want to make a banner try those old tags

or some new amazing tags! :)
