Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge

Happy Thursday, friends! The weekend is getting closer! What do you all have planned for the weekend? We are going to an apple orchard to the Johnny Appleseed Festival. We go every year and I can not wait to get an apple fritter! lol They have the best ones at Mapleside Farms. Yummmy!

So, today I made a little project for the Facebook challenge over at Fresh Brewed Designs.  They have a blog hop coming up this weekend! You won't want to miss it! The link to the Facebook event is HERE!

The challenge I am entering requires you to do something "EXTRA". If you make a card, it has to have an extra fold, or you have to decorate the inside, or something extra. I decided to make a little 3D purse/treat holder/gift bag. I'm going to put a couple of small fall stamp sets inside and give it to a friend. Here it is..

 I used the CTMH Artise Cricut cartridge and cut the little bag out at 3 1/4 inches. I used DCWV glitter cardstock for the purse and background orange paper. I colored the cute FBD digi image with EK Success colored pencils. Then I used stardust Stickles over the top for some added sparkle and fun! I only glued the image on the top part of the flap so the whole cute pumpkin house lifts up so you can put goodies inside. That's it!

The other day I received some goodies from Yolanda that I had won from the last Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop. Included in the goodies were some really fun muslin bags. Yolie had stamped on one and colored it in for that hop so I borrowed her idea. I used the Fresh Brewed Designs "Crafty Girl" stamp. I love her..she is so cute! I already posted this on Facebook but wanted to share here for all of my bloggie friends that I do not have on Facebook. Here it is~

I added a strip of fabric and twine and a homemade fabric flower  to the bottom with a glue gun. I added a few star buttons and some glitter and it's done! Hope you like it!!


I hope you like my projects I have to share today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

 Happy Friday friends! How are you all doing? Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend! I am going to Pittsburgh to the zoo, aquarium, and to visit some Diners Drive-Ins and Dives spots. I can't wait to get away for a little bit!

 Have you heard? 3 Girl JAM just started a new challenge blog! I haven't entered in a challenge for a while but wanted to be sure to make time to enter this one. I love 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon and the Owner, Julie, too! This weeks challenge is called "Butterflies and Bows". Be sure to head over to 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog to see all of the rules if you'd like to enter! Here's what I made to enter.

 I made a tag/card and a decorated envelope. I used my CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut the tag, envelope, and butterfly. I used a K. Andrew Design stamp for the "for you" and the sentiment is an Itty Bitty by Unity. Jessica, my Sweet Friend Forever, gave me the little pearls that I added to the butterflies. They are made by Want to Scrap. The 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon is in the color Iris. I used it for the bow and for the top of the tag. I did emboss my stamping with purple embossing powder, although it's hard to tell. That's it! Pretty quick and simple.

 I hope you like my creations today! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Altered Clipboard and Huge Giveaway

Have you entered my 250 Follower Giveaway yet? You can enter HERE.


Hello crafty friends! Hope you all are having a good week! Today I have a altered clipboard to share with you and some info on a HUGE giveaway! I went to goodwill a while back and found a  new clipboard for 35 cents. I snagged it up knowing I could do something with it. Here's what I came up with..

I used my new CTMH Artist Cricut cartridge for the cute owl. I cut it out at 6 inches. I used Bo Bunny SWEET TOOTH patterned papers, vintage photo ink, some ribbon, a flower, and brad. The stamp is an Itty Bitty by Unity that my friend Jessica gave me.  That flower was white and I inked it to match my project. The clip was also white so I added some staz on ink to that to make it not stand out so much. I think it turned out pretty cute! Here's another view.

Do you have a Cricut? Do you LOVE it like I do? I have more than one Cricut and they have never let me down!!  Well right now there is a HUGE giveaway going on over at My Cricut Craft Room! Erica is giving away cartridges and paper packs so be sure and head over to get entered to win! There is also and event on Facebook HERE. 

I hope you all have a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me!
