For my project I really loved this idea I found on Pinterest
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/444378688205168302/
 
This is such a great way to store your head phones for your cell phones and ipods.

Grab a bunch of clothespins, some great glue, ink, modge podge, and some cute duct tape or
washi tape. I opted to go with duct tape.
Step one- Glue 2 clothespins together like this.

Step two- Add your ink or paint to give the clothespin some color.

Step three- Add your duct tape or washi tape
and embellish

Isn't this cool? Now your cords will never end up tangled and knotted again!

Your next stop will be
with...
Theresa


If you get lost along the way here is the
entire line-up of today's hop for

My Mom & Me


Hello my crafty friends!!
 

 

Today is my first post with Miss Kate Cuttables and I am so super excited to be able to share my project featuring Miss Kate Cuttables' darling SVG files!!

But first, did you know that Miss Kate Cuttables gives away a free file everyday?
YES, absolutely FREE. So what are you waiting for, head over there and get your free file now!!
Freebie of the Day
 
I created this whimsical layout of me and my boys taken a few years ago on my birthday.
I never get a chance to create girly pages and even though there is a "boy" version to this file, I knew I wanted to use the girly, flowery version of My Mom & Me. So glad I did!





The flowers in this file are just gorgeous! They really make the layout pop! I love the different layers and by adding pop dots I was able to really give the bouquets life.
 

 Other Items Used:

Cardstock
Patterned Paper by Authentique 
Pop Dots
Gold Sequins
CTMH Chocolate Ink


I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!   Scrappy Hugs!

Wonderful Friend Quilled Card

Hello my crafty friends!!
 
 

Today is my first post with 3 Girl Jam and I am so excited to be able to share my project featuring the yummy 3 Girl Jam products I love!

 I have had this quilling kit from 3 Birds for some time now and thought it was time to bust it out and create my first quilled card ever. I knew 3 Girl Jam would compliment this card beautifully and I was right! 


I added some Jute Ribbon in Sunflower and Natural along the bottom to accent the banner. And added a big bow created with my 3GJ bow maker and Sunflower Crinkle Ribbon from the Harvest Bundle just below the window.
 
 
The quilled flowers peek right through the window and add lots of dimension to this card. Not too shabby for a first try at quilling. Although I will admit I am not a huge fan of this technique. Maybe I should stick to paper piecing! LOL!

 
Other Items Used:

Cardstock
 
Pop Dots

Gold Pearls

Today I have two projects to share with you.
The first is a Prima Ornament
decorated with Prima's gorgeous paper collection
"North Country Collection"


Now I know it's too late to change her hair color but if I  would have made her hair blonde she could have become Elsa. In any case I think she came out darling. The paper, added snowflakes and bling bring her to life!


My second project is this flakey fun card!!
My new Explore cut out the most amazing snowflakes and swirls all from
a Miss Kate Cuttables File. It worked perfectly for my card design.



My adorable Olaf is actually chipboard. I embossed him and stamped him.
I hope to show you a video of this technique very soon!!
Stay tuned!
