Under Water Centerpiece- Miss Kate Cuttables

Pin It

Hello my crafty friends!!

It's my day to post with  Miss Kate Cuttables! I just got back from Florida and the Quilter's Luncheon I was asked to help decorate. I used some of Miss Kate Cuttables' darling SVG files to make the awesome decorations for my tables!!

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!!

For my project I used An Ocean of Fun file.
An Ocean Of Fun SVG scrapbook cute svg cuts cut files for scrapbooking ocean svg cuts

I created these under water themed centerpieces using the fish, starfish and seaweed from the Ocean of Fun file along with some other seaweed from various files.



I just love how they turned out and so did everyone else!! In fact I made on just for me so I could keep it on display in my home!


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!

Question of the Week

Pin It

Happy St. Patty's Day!! ( a few days late!) And Blessings to you on Palm Sunday!!

Remember.. I want you to answer the question in the comment section too!
AND
if  you have a question to ask for an upcoming week add that in the comments too, if you ask a question and I use it you will win a prize!!


This week's question comes from me...Are you a little Irish? Do you do anything to celebrate St. Patty's Day?

Connie- I do believe there is some Irish on my mom's side somewhere...she's quite the mix! LOL! We usually wear green. I used to bake rainbow cupcakes or make green pancakes or cookies when the kids were younger. One year we tried to make traditional corned beef and cabbage. Loved the cabbage but none of us liked corned beef. So there you have it! Guess we will have green chicken or tacos!

Daphne-   I have a small amount of Irish heritage. As a child my grandparents always had me wear green and orange. Now wearing the green is a fun thing. We have corned beef and cabbage! That's a must!!

Angela- I'm not, but my husbands side is (so my kids get to be little leprechauns!) sometimes we go over to his dad's house for corned beef - not this year since hubby is working. Which is ok, not a fan anyway!
wink emoticon
Veronica-nope. Just in my heart, kidding. I just love to see the policeman and fireman parade in NYC...
However, I do love st. Patrick's day, and would love to visit Ireland one day.
Kim- Well, they say everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, but, yes, I am part Irish. These days, the most celebrating I do is eat corned beef and cabbage for dinner...works for me!

ok, It's your turn to answer!!

And don't forget to enter the new challenge....

He is Risen Blog Hop

Pin It



Today's hop will be a celebration of Christ rising from the grave.

We've got a great group of bloggers today and the projects will just wow you.

Please comment on each of the blogs the hop to be entered into the prize drawing.



Today's prize is a $10 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp.

The hop will be open for comments until March 31st. 
Winner will be announced on Theresa's blog on April 1st. No Fooling!

Now on with the projects.

I decided to create an Easter card for this hop.
Using My Cricut Explore, I designed this card using four different cartridges and altering the card and window images to fit my card needs. I also cute two crosses in two different colors so I could layer the purple cloth over the brown cross.


 I added some stickles to the Gold Window frame. And used a patterned paper in hopes it would look like stained glass. It didn't turn out as I had hoped. My next one will be different. I also used liquid glass on the purple cloth and the blue bow. Added some hand stitching in white pen and some silk flowers with an enamel dot. The sequins in the top corners have liquid pearl dots.


This sentiment is my favorite. Taken from an online card. I printed it on my Cricut Explore using a Miss Kate type font. I just love it!
Wishing you a blessed Easter! 
As we say in my home Christos Anesti!!


Up Next is my sweet friend Sarah

Design Team Thursday- Enjoy Nature

Pin It
 

Hello everyone. So glad you stopped by to check out what I have to share with you today. 

Life has thrown me a few curve balls lately. I have had a hard time keeping up with all of my commitments. Some days it's all I can do to keep up with the house. When my life gets out of control, I have a special man in my life that keeps me sane. He is going through a lot physically right now and he is struggling. But, through it all he is still there to keep me going. He is my strength on days when I have none. So, today I am sharing a layout using an older photo of him that I love. He was a State Park Ranger for 2 years. It was his dream job, but due to the physical issues he is now dealing with they let him go. This layout is to celebrate the time he had as a Park Ranger. 
 


With spring coming, I thought an outdoor themed layout might inspire some of you to get out there, take some photos and get crafty!!

I created a sweet birthday card fit for a Princess using a cut file
 from our Sponsor, Paper Crafting World. You can purchase the file HERE


I removed the bag of candy from the cut file and added a Cricut Gift Box instead. I thought it made it look more Birthday with the present.


After looking at her I realize I messed up on her skirt. It looks funky! That is because I put it on upside down! DOH!! Oh well! Live and learn! See I make mistakes too!! And yes I will be tearing that apart and fixing it!


ALL BETTER!!!

Items used:
Echo Park Patterned Paper
Cardstock
Silk Flowers
Homemade Enamel Dots

Pop Dots
Cut File by PCW
Jaded Blossom Stamps

Inside sentiment reads:
I hope you have a birthday that is fit for a princess!
