Christmas Stockings!

Hello Scrapper and Friends! Today I'm going to share with you our stockings that I personalized for our little Family.

My husband picked out his font, I picked out mine and I picked out one for our daughter using a font that looked like a child's writing. My husbands Font was Blackletter, mine was from Nursery Rhymes and our daughters font was Makin the Grade. All using Design Space.

I used Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) that I had and Ironed them onto the stockings. Make sure when using the Cricut and doing Iron on vinyl, that you Mirror the image so it isn't backwards when you try to iron it on. The stockings I bought from Dollar Tree. They came with their own lettering but I decided to make our own. Dollar Tree has so many awesome things for crafters and everything is one dollar or less so its awesome!

Hopefully I'll have more stockings made next year and maybe I'll get time to add more to these! Hope you have a splendid crafty time!

Birthday Card

Hello Scrappers and Friends! Today I'm going to tell you how I made my cousins little girls birthday card.

I took some card stock and cut it and scored it to turn it into a card. I took a piece of regular card stock and stamped Happy Birthday on it then placed stickles around it for a glittery boarder. I then took 2 strips of Washi tape and placed that towards the middle of the card to add a little more shine I picked out two glittery ones. The little heart on the card is a stamp I used and I took a Wink of Stella pen, the black one, and went over it after I stamped it to add more glitter. The envelope I think turned out pretty good! Took leftover card stock from the card and inked the edges and placed that on the envelope. Then took a plain piece of white card stock and wrote her name on it, inked the edges and placed that on top of the printed card stock.  Then I took two more strips of Washi tape and placed them on the corners of the card stock. I glued a few flowers on the envelope using the E6000 glue and then used Stickles to make the center of the flowers. Flowers are Prima brand.

Christmas Ornaments

Hello Scrappers and Friends! Sorry it's been awhile since I've been on, been really busy with our daughter and everything. I'm hoping to be on here more from now on, so stay tuned for new ideas, projects and hauls! I have some more posts coming to show you what I have been doing these past few months so be on the look out!

So this year I have seen several people make their own ornaments and post them on Facebook and I decided to try and make my own. It was really easy, the hardest part was putting the vinyl on. I bought my ornaments from Dollar Tree and used some permanent vinyl for the lettering. I took some hair spray and dumped some into the ornament and swirled it around to coat the inside. Then I dumped the excess out and poured in the glitter. Swirled that around for a bit and dumped the excess. I let them sit over night to dry before adding the Vinyl. I cut the vinyl using my Cricut Explore. Font I used was Jasmine on Design Space.

I love the way they turned out and I hope to do more for next year. These I made for my parents. I ran out of glitter so I'll have to wait to make more. Hope you like them and it gives you an idea on how to make these yourselves. Hope you have a splendid crafty time!

Baby Shower Decor

Hello Scrapper and Friends! We just had our baby shower Sunday and are so thankful for everything and everyone that could come! Pinterest is amazing when looking for ideas for baby showers or anything really. Here are some of the ideas we used.

We decided to do a headband station. People could make a hair clip or headband for Brooklynn and get all creative. I think a lot of people had fun with this. I just got a bunch of fabric flowers from Hobby Lobby and some different gems so people had many options to make them. We used hot glue guns to adhere everything, which by the way will burn you if your not careful.

The Latest Scrapbook Hauls

Hello Scrappers and Friends! I finally did another video showing my latest scrapbook haul from a local thrift store, online garage sale site and Hobby Lobby. My hubby said I needed to go out and get more supplies and have one last big shopping trip before our baby girl arrives. He is awesome! Plus I had his friend and him go through the line with 40% off coupons just so I could save a little more money on items. Most of what I got at Hobby Lobby was on clearance. So enjoy the video and I can't wait to get even more deals this summer at garage sales to add to my stash! Hoping to make some great things with these items. Have a Splendid Crafty Time!

Stampin Up Ink Pad Score!

Hello Scrappers and Friends! Not much has been going on in my craft room lately as we are getting ready for the baby to arrive. Only about 6 more weeks til shes due. Next week I will share with you all what I made for our baby shower decorations. But right now I have to share my amazing find!

I have been wanting to fill this Stamp n Storage unit for about 2 years now since my husband purchased it for my birthday but I haven't been wanting to pay an arm and a leg for the ink pads. Normally these pads go for $5-6 each or $50 for 12 of them. Well I seen a lady post on a local garage sale site that she had 52 ink pads with a few reinkers for $50!!!! I jumped at it! Now after 2 years of waiting my unit is almost full.

I did ask if they are still "juicy" and she said yes they were. But even if some need more ink added I can always buy some reinkers to add more ink to them. So I'm one happy scrapper! Hope you all have a splendid crafty time!
