And now for my Project!

I decided to make LUIZ the dog!  I would have like to make him with the Fruit hat (ha ha)..but that was just going to be too time consuming, so I opted for his drool face instead!

I wanted to use some Vellum..and bought some to play with..I love it as his DROOL!

I placed Luiz (free today ONLY) on one of the Circle Trio Card Bases.  I love the chocolate and blue color combo!  Jaded Blossom has a funny stamp in their Funny Mail set that I just knew would be perfect for drool loving Luiz.  I also took the paw print from Kitty Kitty to stamp int he center.  Tied it off with some twine...and that's all folks!

In case you get lost and need to find your way....

We Go Together..... like Eggs and Bacon

Hi everyone! Here is a quick card I made this afternoon... ummmmm... for my anniversary... YES I nearly forgot! ha ha...

I used the SUPER Cute We go Together Cutting File, stamped some kawaii face stamps...and used the We Go Together Stamp set.  This stamp set is soooo versatile..it has EVERYTHING on it!!

I simply cut a a2 card shape...and then used the amazing Card mat dies to make a mat.  I then used the Wine Tag Die for another mat layer to match and tie in the Flag dies that have the sentiment on it.

Finished it off with some Doodlebug Sprinkles and a red gross-grain bow edged in white stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Video Gamer Blog Hop - Sac Boy & Shadow!

Hi there and welcome to our amazing Video Gamer Blog Hop!

Do you like to game?  Well if so, you are in for a REAL Treat!!

If you arrived at this "level" that means you must have successfully completed the last one, otherwise, you will need to RESET and start at the beginning with Michelle. 

As any video gamer knows, you can only complete the game by beating all levels to eventually get to the Boss level.  Our blog hop today is set up on that 'idea', with each stop being a level to complete.

LEVEL COMPLETION GUIDES

To COMPLETE this level, here is all you need to do!

1- FOLLOW this blog you are currently reading (see side bar for ways this blog allows you to follow)

2- COMMENT on this blog post, letting the owner know how much you enjoyed the project they shared with you today!

3- Go to the NEXT  LEVEL once you have completed these steps!

And now for my PROJECTS! (yea as in more than one!)

First I whipped up this Yoshi Treat Bag...

Yoshi eats apples, spits fireballs and is just cute as can be...sooooo I added him to the Fancy Topper and stamped from Mexican Food, You're One Hot Tamale, as I filled the 3 X 4 bag with, you got it,...HOT TAMALES!  Oh, I stamped it on a small die from Mini tag Dies!

YOSHI FILE IS FREE TODAY ONLY, if you participate correctly!!

Close up of Yoshi!

Sorry to disappoint, but although I grew up on the Nintendo System ...

 I totally think SAC BOY from Little Big Planet is the CUTEST thing ever and I enjoyed playing along (although I sucked at it) with my son.  For those not familiar with this game, you can customize your Sac Boy with tons of outfits and accessories.... my final character was actually an adorable Bunny I called Lola..... So anyways..here is the base Sac Boy... I just think he is tooooo cute!

I made an adorable card & treat box for Sac Boy!

For my card, I took the Sac Boy file and enlarged it and cut it from the chest down. 

 I wanted him big on the card.  I then placed him on the Oval Card Base.  

I masked off a sentiment from Lunchbox Notes 2 and placed it on a mini banner die.

 Oh yea..I twine stitched his head!!

Next, I made a treat container for Sac Boy.  I knew I wanted to incorporate the "world" somehow, so I took the Pig In Barrel file, and slightly altered it to give it a lid to make a closed box. 

 I cut some continent shapes and added them to my "globe".  

Again, I masked the sentiment from Lunch Box Notes 2 - this time adding it to a flag die and wrapping it  around a straw.  I also stamped For A Special Boy   on a smaller die from the Card mat Dies.  

Tied some Twine from my stash, as well as some Monster Skin ribbon. 

Filled the container with kisses stamped with Treat Haul (from Beep Beep Candies) and Yummy For Your Tummy (from Gingerbread Candies).  I LOVE how he came out!

Next I made a character from the SEGA game system.....Shadow the Hedgehog...yes SHADOW, not SONIC... hee hee

I don't know why, but Shadow was more mysterious and less annoying to me then Sonic! 

So, as any one who has played these games... getting the Chaos Emerald is a MUST, so, I had to incorporate an Emerald in here somewhere!

I took the Shadow cut file and added him to the new Ornate Tube Holder.  I just opted to stick the Emerald box instead of a tube into the holder.  I think it looks pretty cool!  I stamped a fun sentiment from NERD on a Mini Flag Die, and then filled the container with some small treats!

Now remember, the Sac Boy & Shadow files are FREE today only upon HOP completion and you defeating BOWSER and rescuing Princess Peach..so Hop along to you next level!

And now for my projects!
I LOVE Gogo Yubari! She is NOT a nice girl to say the least..but she is a kick ass teen girl that works in Oreh Ishii's army of thugs,, the Crazy 88's.  She is Oren's personal body guard, but again, she is NOT nice, as she likes to kill for FUN!!  But I admit, her fight scene is one of my favorites in the movie!

I turrned Gogo into a Hershey Candy Holder!

Gogo is FREE for today only....the Hershey Holder is new in the store!

I added the Kill Bill blood splatter and slash to the cover, tied off with some twine from my stash. 

The Awesome stamped sentiment is a new set from Jaded Blossom Sassy Pants!!

But you know I couldnt stop there!

I also did Elle Driver!

We fist meet Elle dressed up as a nurse in the hospital, to do her "dirty work"

I placed Elle on the 3d Doctors Bag and filled with 'candy stripe" peppermint candy! lol

As those that know Kill Bill.... its always "accidents happen" with these assassins, so this sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Get Well Soon was perfect!  I stamped it on a mini tag die and attached with some twine from my stash!  I also used candy stamps from Sassy Candies, they just went so well with the theme!

GOGO and ELLE are free TODAY only if you follow the rules below!!!

Sassy Michelle's Birthday Blog Hop!

Hi Everyone! And Welcome to Michelle's 40th Birthday Blog Hop! If you know Michelle at all, you know what a smart ass she is, so of course we picked this theme for her 40th!!

Our blog hop is sponsored by Jaded Blossom and SVG Cutting Files! If your here from Jamie, then your in the right place. If not then click here to start at the beginning.

Jaded Blossom came out with TWO NEW Stamps Sets JUST for this blog hop!! And of course because its special for Michelle's Birthday we made the inserts in her favorite color, Purple!
SASSY PANTS $15.99

SASSY CANDIES $12.99

And we have a BUNDLE deal for you! Sassy Bundle is $25! 

 And now for my projects!

Well, its not meet the Griswolds, its "Meet the Criswell's" lol...
I decided to make Michelle and her family - hubby John and 2 super cute kids, Lily and Poppy!
Up first is Michelle

 
I cut the Michelle file and put her on the new Hexagon Tube holder. The tube holder fits the Jaded Blossom Tubes perfectly!  I had fun making this fun treat!  I added the awesome new Sassy Pants to a die and Sassy candies on kisses to my project. I also used a candy stamp from Spa Candies for the top of the tube.

Top View of the holder..with the Candy Charms & Banner Die, Flag Die and Mini tag Dies!
Next up is John.
Now I have personally never met John..but by the comments I have seen him make, yeah, he is a smart ass too (just like Michelle)..and well...he loves to work out, so he is a Bad Ass too!

For John I cut the John C file, attached to the Fancy Topper Die. I filled a a 3 X 8 bag with some Reese's Peanut butter cups and added the Sassy Pants sentiment to the top.  I also added a sentiment from Diets Suck to let him know he should have a Cheat day!  I attached that to the Mini Tags die.

Now we are on to Lily, the oldest Criswell cutie!

Lily plays the guitar and well.. I made a cute little hang tag for her.

Lily is cut from the Lily C file, attached to the Treat Tag Die.  I stamped the sentiment for Sassy Pants to the Flag Die.  I filled a 1 X 8 bag with some blue sixlet candies for Lily.

Finally we come to the last Criswell family member... Poppy.

I don't know why, but I just envision Poppy as a Blah Blah Blah saying kid!

I cut the cutie Poppy C file and put her on a note pad I found at the store. I simply took the measurements of the note pad to make a cover for it. All she needs to do is untie the ribbon and a doodle pad/journal awaits her!

I hope you enjoyed my projects today.

Apple Treat Cup for Staff Appreciation Week

Hi everyone....sorry I am late posting..the end of the school year really just slams me all at once and I never know if I am coming or going!

For my son's teacher and the paraprofessionals that aid in his classroom, I made these Apple Treat Cup Cards.  I love it as it doubles as a card, a treat and a gift (Gift card inside!)

No, no file..just a quick creation I whipped up for school!

May the 4th be with You, Star Wars Blog Hop!

And now for my project!

I have a house full of Star Wars Fans, however we also REALLY enjoyed the parody that Family Guy did of the movie..
and so I choose Peter and Lois Griffin in that Famous I LOVE YOU scene.
 (Die hard fans know that Peter's response was NOT the same as Hans! ha ha

Yep its Lois as Lei and Peter as Han!  How cool did they come out. I love it!

If you are a Star Wars fan and have NOT seen the Family Guy version, you are missing out!

I put the Lois and Peter cut file on a Fry box I altered a bit to make them fit.

I used Jaded Blossom goodies as well.
