Happy Noon Year Fun!

New Year's Eve is not only for adults!

How about hosting a daytime party for the kiddos & teens in your life?

Throw them a "Noon Year's Eve Party"!!!!

Start the countdown, grab your fave snacks, turn up the music, and set a fun and festive table.

I used some fun SRM products for this one. The Say it with Stickers - New Year and Express Yourself - New Year are so perfect to use for projects like this. 

You can use real champagne flutes for teens and plastic ones for the smaller kiddos.

Place popcorn, candy, or sparkling apple cider in the glasses.

I also made some place cards using SRM Stickers too!

It's a safe and fun way to ring in the New Year!

Products:

SRM Stickers: Say it with Stickers - #39043

SRM Stickers: Express Yourself - New Year's - #42029

Hearts, Love, & Paper Made Bakery

 

Happy MLK Day everyone!

 

I've got a fun Valentine's Day door hanger to show you today!

 

Before I begin, I just wanted to find out if you've heard the news? The Paper Made Bakery Design Team was announced today and I'm part of the new crew. I'm super excited to work with their adorable kits. Be sure to hop on over there to see who else made the team. They are all sooo talented too!

 

 

Now let's get back to our regularly scheduled craft project for today.

 

This is a fun and quick craft that you can make in less than 10 minutes. They are also great to add to your gift bags or boxes.

 

 

I used part of an SEI corrugated cardboard banner to make the door hanger. I layered a lace doily, a felt heart, Martha Stewart Crafts Valentine's Day paper, and a heart sticker on top. Once you add your wire it's ready to be hung on a door, corkboard, chalkboard, or wherever you like.

 

I hope you all enjoyed my fun project today. Be sure to stop back by tomorrow for the announcement of the giveaway winner. And a WONDERFUL MIRACLE has happened that I must tell you all about. Can't wait to share!!!

 

Supplies:

Corrugated Cardboard Banner and Pearl Brad - SEI

A Happy Return with The Cutting Cafe

 

It's my happy return to crafting day!

Hello crafty friends! I'm so happy to be back with all of you in blog land. The last couple of months have been super great for me. I'm feeling great and ready to craft again. Thank you all for your sweet cards in the mail, your thoughtful emails, and your warm thoughts of well wishes. I really appreciate your kindness.

Now it's time to check out my project for The Cutting Cafe. Did you hear? I'm now on their design team. I am so super excited to work with Regina Easter and the rest of her talented crew.

I used the Heart Bag Cutting File/Template for this Valentine's Day project. I wanted to make something feminine to give to the two students that I mentor at school.

 

There are so many ways to use The Cutting Cafe's products. And did you know that you can print out the templates using the PDF file and score where needed to make this box? That's what I did on this project. I also printed out the heart as well.

 

Be sure to check out these two helpful links to guide you when using your cutting machine or printer.
