Fun Stuff

These are all the projects that I made for a Swap that I was in where we had Secret Sisters and many directives.  It was loosely based on the 12 Days of Christmas Song.  We did a project for each day of the 12 days.  I'll explain each day as I post the picture.  I really loved doing these projects and hope you enjoy seeing them. 

Altered Journal

This is a journal that I altered for the Christmas Magnolia Swap.  As you can see...I've become addicted to Maggie!  She's adorable and I love using her on lots of my projects.  I've been incorporating her on many projects lately.  She's just the finishing touch that many of my projects need.  I've also recruited my husband and daughters to help color the Maggies sometimes.  This one was colored by me but the bear on the altered Tin in the previous post was colored by my daughter.  It was a great night one night when we all sat at the table coloring together ...even my son was coloring ...however, he was coloring Scooby Doo and not Maggie.  :)  I hope you are enjoying all the creations that I've loved making.  As always, thanks for looking...

Altered Canvas

I altered the canvas as a four part sign for our Magnolia Christmas Swap.  They are Spring, Winter, Summer & Fall and they say... Craft by day, craft by night, craft through the seasons, for a happy life.  My husband came up with the cute little saying.  I did all of the canvas alterations on my Cricut and some of the embellishments were store bought.  I loved this one and it was hard to part with.  Thanks for looking...

Altered Tins

These are Tin boxes that I made in another swap (Christmas Magnolia Swap) for the Cricut MB.  I filled the inside of one of the tins with lots of goodies for my partner in the swap.  The other tin was already filled when I bought it and I just decorated the outside and sent it out.  I'm doing one of them for each of my kids so I'll have more pictures to post soon.  Enjoy.  Thanks for looking

Anything Goes Card

I made this cute little card for my Addicted to Card Making Swap.  I'm a part of the Cricut Message Board.  I love doing cards so this one was right up my alley!  I'm going to be making lots of Christmas cards in the next several day so I'll be publishing more pictures of the cards soon.  Happy Looking

8x8 Recipe Card

This is an 8x8 recipe card.  The recipe is on the back.  I'm making this one for my sister.  The Baked French Toast Recipe is to die for.  If you'd like it...please leave me a comment and I'll post it.  I hope you've liked all the projects I've posted.  I'll be back in a week or so to post the remainder of the ones that I'm working on for Christmas.  There will be lots more coming so keep coming back.  Happy crafting to all and as always...thanks for looking

Paper Pumpkins

Here are some of the sweet little pumpkins that I made for the Fall Swap.  I love these little guys.  Finished project is about the size of a baseball.  Here's the link for the tutorial that I used to make these.  I have a leaf punch and that's what I used for the leaves.  I cut thin strips of paper and twirled them around a pencil to make the vines.  The stem is just a thick piece of cardstock cut out and glued down with the glue gun.  I hope that you're enjoying all the new projects as much as I've enjoyed sharing them with you all.
