And now for my Project!
I made TWO projects today... one for Sesame Street and One for the Muppets.
Up First is the MUPPETS...and well, one of my favorites... BEAKER!
There is just something about him that cracks me up... Oh I know.. its cause he is always getting blown up, knocked down, etc. He is the comical relief in the laboratory of DR. Bunsen Honeydew!

I put the Beaker Head file on the Lion Flat Box and filled with snack Crunch bars and Nuggets.
I wrapped the nuggets in the Candy Dies and stamped MEEP MEEP with the Alphabet Candies.
Because Beeker works in the lab, I used Science Matters and attached to a mini tag die toppled off with some awesome Orange Twine.

Inside of the treat box

for my second project... man -- not many of you may know this famous Sesame Steet character... its Game Show host GUY SMILEY -- yes he has officially been dubbed "America's favorite game show host."  (its true, you can look it up! hee hee
I LOVE the not so obvious characters, in case you didnt catch on to all the past hops we have done!
So Guy Smiley is and was an obvious choice for me!
Since he is a game show host I wanted my card to reflect that. I put him on the Arched Top Card base, add the Game Spinner which I stamped with Kawaii Candies.  I cut fabulous Star Dies to give more dimension and stamped it with Go Team.  Finished it up with some awesome Twine..and Voila.. Game Show Guy!!

Best Friends FOREVER blog Hop!!


Welcome to the Best Friends Forever Blog Hop!
We all have the One (ok, sometimes more than one) person we call our Best Friend. Its that person you can say anything to, laugh the hardest with, and cry without judgement.  For all you Besties...this hop is for YOU!

Today's hop is sponsored by SvgCuttingFiles and Jaded Blossom, so sit back, relax and enjoy the creations the team has made!

This Hop will be open for 48 HOURS (unlike our normal 24 hours)  
it all ends PROMPTLY at 11:59 PST Saturday Aug 23rd
What is also exciting is that this hop has co-ordinating stamps from Jaded Blossom!

PROMPTLY on Saturday August 23rd at 11:59 PST

HOP GUIDELINES

1- FOLLOW all Seventeen (17) blogs in this hop
See side bar for ways to follow
2- COMMENT on all SEVENTEEN stops letting the owner know what you thought of their project!
3- Go to the REQUEST Files link once you have completed these steps at the END of the hop.  Fill the form out correctly and wait for your request to be validated for IMMEDIATE download (this is a new BETA process)
Remember all TOU apply!

And now for my Project!
I decided to do Tod and Copper from "The Fox and The Hound".
 When I was little, I loved this movie.
This movie is a true testament to friendship.  A fox and a hound dog should NOT be friends, but despite it all, they become the BEST of Friends.  When they grow older and have been apart from a while, Copper has "learned" that the Fox is his enemy - and there are a  few moments when you see him believe that.. but in the end.. he choses his FRIEND over his hunter master!!  MUST WATCH TO SEE!!

So now for the goods!
The fox and hound file is free DURING this hop duration ONLY and if you are following the guides as stated above.
I put the cut file on the Kawaii Sea Nugget Platforms 
I used the sentiment from the Jaded Blossom Stamp Bundle, because these two are playing Hide N Seek in this scene from the movie and the sentiment was PERFECT for that!
I used the GRASS die, and the cute tag die!
Inside are Hershey Nuggets stamped with Candy Wraps and then of course wrapped in Candy Wrap Dies!  I added a candy stamp from the BFF Bundle!
I added in some cute Cantalope twine to make my finishing touch bow!

Nerdy Lollipops!

Hi everyone.. Annie here..with a fun and fabulous NERDY project!

Today I used the new Nerdy Squaredy Cat (being released on Friday) to make super adorable Lollipop covers!
I simply cut the Nerdy Squaredy Cat file and sized it up to the base on the Animal Head Lollipop Covers (dog)

I had lots of fun creating these!  I used Vellum paper for the glass lenses.... and added the NERD stamp from Jaded Blossom, on their awesome mini tag dies.

I wrapped the sticks on the lollipops in Pink Sorbet, and tied a cute bow in a matching stripe I had in my stash.

Hope you enjoyed my super simple but sweet project today!

Save the Animals Charity Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to the Save the Animals Charity Blog Hop!


If you're here from MICHELLE then you're in the right place. If not then you will want to start at the beginning HERE

This Blog Hop will work a little differently than our past ones.
 We give free SVGs all the time, and this time, we are asking YOU to give back to the Animals by donating to our fundraising campaign "Save the Animals".
By donating, you can earn exclusive SVGs. Here is a look at the donation levels. And as a BONUS since your donation is going to a charity, its a tax write off!! So keep your receipt!

Here is an example of the donation screen.. When donating, please make sure to include your email address under "personal note" so that we can send you the SVGs that pertain to your donation level (it will not be published on the website)




Each person in this hop picked one animal to represent today.
 I picked the TIGER, as I always found them to be such beautiful creatures! 
Here are some interesting facts about Tiger extinction!
Until the 20th Century there were nine tiger subspecies that probably numbered over 100,000 animals. Today, there are only 5 or 6 subspecies of Tiger left, totalling about 3,200. 
In 100 years, we have lost SO MUCH...lets not let any more Tigers die! 
The Tigers are nearly ALL GONE, do to the high Asian Black Market for their skins bones & body parts (used in folk medicines) as well as habitat loss that results from logging and other forms of forest destruction.
For more information about Tigers , Click here
to ADOPT a Tiger (you get a nice adoption package), CLICK HERE
Now on to my project.. 
This SUPER CUTE Chibi Tiger Hershey Bar Wrap Holder!
 Here is the outside front on my Hershey Holder. The Chibi Tiger is new in the store TODAY!  I just LOVE how it came out... love them big old cat eyes!
I used the Grass Border from Jaded Blossom and cut several leaves from Jungle Animal Slide cards.
The flower is also from the Spring Dies set with a cute Sentiment Candy stamp from Wild Animal Candies.
 Here is the inside of my candy holder.  I even decked it out with more leaves so its really a nice lush jungle!
I used the Curly Label Die for my sentiment! This is one of my FAVORITE dies!
The sentiment is a combination from Fight for a Cure & Go Wild.
Close up view.

Raising Autism Awareness.... Squaredy Cat Style

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... why is this post one of a personal nature to me? 
 I LOVE and live with some afflicted by AUTISM. 

Autism is not the same for every family that is diagnosed with it.  
There are different levels to this neurological disability, and I live with a nearly 16 year old son with it.
I love my son to the moon and back (times infinity.)  
He is an amazing kid with an amazing smile and the most contagious laugh I have ever heard. 
 His name is Colin.  He is one of my most favorite people in the whole wide world.

To all the families living with this diagnosis, a big round of applause goes out to you, as I know the struggles, fears, anxiety, AND the love, laughter and joy you experience.  I am so VERY blessed to have an amazing team that work with my son on a daily basis both during school hours and after school for therapy.  I thank EVERYONE at BHS and to Carol and Dan.  You will forever be an important factor in our family and our lives.  Thank you for all you do for my sweet boy, Colin.

HELP CONTINUING AWARENESS BY PETITIONING TO CONGRESS to HELP SAVE AUTISM FUNDING... This is a growing epidemic we can no longer avoid!! 
CLICK HERE TO SIGN the PETITION

When I saw the Squaredy Cat Autism Awareness cat last year, it was my ULTIMATE favorite one they have ever created.  I have posted it on my FB wall, have it saved as my desktop wallpaper, etc.  I just LOVE anything that brings awareness to Autism, and this one is done in such a CUTE way!

So my simple project today was the Autism cat as a treat topper.
Ok Ok..it didnt START off this way, as its quite larger then a normal treat topper I would make. It initially was to be a card..but I just did not like the card base I had it on. So then I thought.. CANDY STICK treat.. hmmm..yea it was way too big for the 1 X 8 sticks..so then I opted for the treat topper, as I was clearly running out of time.    
The Autism Squaredy Cat will be available in the store on Friday.
He is soo cute, and well worth the effort of all the pieces involved.

He is on the Fancy Topper Die from Jaded Blossom, and I put some Dessert Skittles in the 3 X 4 Clear bags.
The Fight for a Cure has really GREAT sentiments in regards to raising awareness, so I chose "Stand Behind the Ribbon" for my mini die.

Louisiana Squaredy Cat - PARTY ON!!!

Hi everyone! Today I have this super cute Squaredy Cat dressed for Mardi Gras (he is the Louisiana Squaredy Cat)
For the Hello Kitty blog Hop, click HERE
There were tons of pieces in this cut file..but I love all the texture it gives in the end!
The Louisiana Squaredy Cat is just TOO CUTE!  I added him to a 2 X 2 X 3 box and filled with bright colored Sixlet candies to mirror the famous beads you get during Mardi Gras.
I love sheer ribbon...you can pick these up on sale at your local craft store. I got mine at Joann's many moons ago in every color.  They are so nice and vibrant, love this fuchsia one!
The sentiment I used just seemed appropriate, however I am in desperate need of a new black INK PAD! can you tell? lol
The sentiment is from Another Year older, and I added it to a Candy Charm and Banner Die.
Here is a side view of the delicious (actually I dont like sixlets, they are nasty) candy lol!

It was such an amazing show, and I do so miss it.  To honor my love for the character Jesse Pinkman, (who you may recall I did back in February for Candace's Birthday Blog Hop)... here is Hello Kitty as Jesse.
So the Jesse Hello Kitty is Free during this blog hop ONLY (ends promptly 11:59 PST Saturday July 19th)
I used the Can of Worms Cutting File (just scaled down and without the lid) to make the "money barrel".
Of course I used the new HELLO HELLO stamps for my sentiment and for 1/2 of my candy kisses.  The Other 1/2 of the kisses I used the radiation icon from Science Candies. 
The Sentiment Hello Sugar is stamped on one of the flags from Candy Charms & Banners. 
I wrapped the kisses in some blue cellphone, as everyone that watches the show knows that Jesse and Mr. White's signature is the BLUE!
Another angle of my cute Hello Kitty Breaking Bad kitty!
