#106 Getting a Pedicure Layout

Hi guys! I made a layout of me getting a pedicure..... me time ahhhhh! I got the nail polish, candles and spa girl using the Day at The Spa Pattern sold by KaDoodle Bug Designs original artwork of Kristi W. Designs. I love this set there's so many other things that come with this set!  The face stamp is PKS Princess Faces. I added stickles to the bubbles, and crackle accents to the nail polish by accident... I thought it was glossy accents oh well lol! I added buttons and ribbon, and also used 2 different letter sticker sets from American Crafts. The paper is Garden Party from DCWV.

I am entering this layout at Scrapping Everyday Miracles- sketch and mixed alphabet challenge

I stamped the sentiment "Walk the Plank" using Pink By Design stamps, and the inside says "It's Yarrrrr Birthday!"

#95 Chocolate Blog Hop/ Artiste Candy Bag

Next to diamonds, chocolate is a girl's best friend and in some cases it may even rank higher than diamonds. This hop takes some neat approaches to chocolate so I hope you can take the time to hop through and see how these crafters expressed their love of chocolate.

You will start at Lorby's World (http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com) but make sure you make it all the way to the end because Tee at One Scrap at a Time is giving away two files from The Cutting Cafe (http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/) to one lucky winner. Tee will have all the details on how to sign up for the drawing when you arrive at her blog.

So get your box of hidden chocolate and enjoy the hop...

I made a Halloween candy bag to hang on the doors inside my house for my Halloween party I plan on having, that way my guests can go "Trick or Treating" LOL  I'm going to make them work for that chocolate! The cone shaped bag and flower are both from the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge from my Close To My Heart Store.

#94 Artiste Angry Birds Boxes

Hi everyone! I was pretty busy this weekend making my son's Angry Birds Party Boxes. I made everything using my Artiste Cricut Cartridge including the Angry Birds Face! I used 4 circles, lower case "v" and also a diamond shape to create the beak. I outlined everything using a thick chisel point marker to give it an "Angry" look. I cut everything out on red poster board from the Dollar Tree Store I used a 12x24 Cricut Mat to cut everything out fast. Each poster board was 22x28 inches so I was able to get 4 Angry Birds Treat Boxes from just ONE poster board! I also have some leftover poster board that I will be making my party invites out of.

If you would like to create these Angry Birds Treat Boxes CLICK HERE to Purchase ARTISTE from my Close To My Heart STORE!!
