Tiffany's Baby Shower and Mom's Birthday!

Hi,Thanks for stopping by my blog today. On this passed Saturday November 10th. I went to my Niece Tiffany's Baby Shower and we also had my Mom's Birthday Party at the same time.
Wanted to Share some pictures of the Party.
First I want to show you the Baby Owl Frame that I made for Tiffany. I was planning on putting the Babies name at the top, but she's still deciding on a name. (I 'm hoping that she picks the name that I told her).  I think I cut the Owl from the Cindy Loo Cartridge. Can't remember where I got the Owl Paper. I also added a layer of Modge Podge to help protect it.   She really Loved It! I knew she would, She's Owl Crazy like I am.





                                                                            

Also wanted to Show you the little Owl Cake that my Niece Amy made for the Party.The bottom of the Cake was to look like a Hat Box. Isn't it ADORABLE!!!





I also wanted to share a Picture of my Mom  blowing out the Candle on her Pretty Cake, also made by my Niece Amy!  (You did an Awesome Job on the Cake's Amy) I Love Owls and you know when my Birthday is!!!!




I also thought I would Share a picture of my Daughter Jade and Grand Daughter Scarlett enjoying the Parties.



                                                                               
Hope you enjoyed seeing the Pictures and Hope you stop back by to visit me again. Have a Happy Crafty Day my Friends, Cindy

Sunflower Card

Hi, So Glad you stopped by my Blog! I had planned on posting this on Saturday but I worked most of the day and by the time I got home it was just to late. So I've got a little time to my self today, so I thought I'd better get it posted.  I wanted to Share a picture of the Card that I made for my Sister Debbie for her Birthday! I had a good time making this Card because it was my first time making a Rosette. They are so Fun and easy to make!!!!!  Although I didn't have any 12 inch yellow Cardstock so I just Adhered two pieces of 6 inch Cardstocks together. So here is a couple of pictures.



                             
                                                                                                                              
Here is how I made the Card-

Cardstock Used- Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Close to Cocoa,Summer Sun

Ink- Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Summer Sun

Leaves Cut from the Wild Card Cartridge and then Stamped with the Itty Bitty Background Stamp from Stampin Up with Old Olive Ink and Sponged around edges.

Burlap Paper distressed with Edge Distresser

Ran the Close to Cocoa Cardstock through the Cuttlebug using the Tim Holtz Woodgrain Folder and then rolled my Brayer over it with Chocolate Chip Ink.

Made the ends of the Penants by using the Corner of a Square Punch.

Used my Martha Stewart Score Board to make the Sun Flower and to make the Scallop I used the Stampin Up Border Scallop Punch, Sponged the Edges in Summer Sun

The Center of the Flower was made by my Stampin Up Circle Puch, Used the Sizzex Spot Folder and rubbed my Chocolate Chip Ink Pad over it and Sponged the Edge with Chocolate Chip.

The Birthday Wishes Stamp is from Stampin Up and I placed a little Green Gem for the dot of the I.

Hope you enjoyed seeing my Card and Thank You for taking the time out to visit me. Wishing you a Happy and Crafty Day! Cindy

Pirate Cupcake Toppers and Oliver!

Hi Bloggy Friends! So glad you could stop by my Blog!  Last time that I posted, I shared a Pirate Card that I made for my Grandson. He Loved It and he had a Great time at his Party! I had told you that I had been busy making Cupcake Toppers. So I thought I would Share a Picture of those, I think I made around 30 and a picture of the Gift Bag that I decorated for him. He Loved them!



                                                                                 
                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                   
Also wanted to Share a Picture of the newest member of our Family! His name is Oliver! His 6 weeks old! and so Feisty! My Older Cat Taylor doesn't want anything to do with him. I had told myself that I wasn't getting another Cat. So when my Son's Cat had kittens my Husband wanted him. I kept telling him No. But he was so Cute I had to give In. But I'm telling everyone right now. No more Cats!!!! If I write it here, It's kind of official. Isn't It! Anyway here is a Picture of Oliver.

Hi and Thanks for stopping by my Blog! It's a Special Day!!! It's my little Grandson Walker's Birthday! His 7 years old today. What a Joy he has been in my life. His such a Sweetie. For his Birthday we are planning on going Bowling tonight and his Birthday Party is going to be this coming Saturday. He is having a Pirate thyme Party. I am busy making Cupcake Toppers. Hopefully I will get a picture of them to share with you.
Would Like to Share his Birthday Card that I made for him.

Thank You a Bunch! and WINNER!!!!

Hi and Thanks for stopping by my Blog today. I want to Thank Everyone so much for visiting my Blog this past weekend for the Have an Owlsome Fall Y'All Blog Hop! I received so many wonderful Comments and got several more Followers! I now have over 200.  When I started my blog a little over a year ago, I never dreamed that I would ever even have a few followers let alone over 200. Thank You all so much!
Before I get to the Winner of my Blog Candy, I want to Share a Card that I just made. Not going to mention who the Card is for, because I just mailed it out today and she hasn't received it yet. I made a Banana Shaped Card using my New Wild Card 2 Cartridge. I used Chocolate Chip Cardstock for the Base and then Yellow Cardstock for the front. I sponged it with Close to Cocoa Ink and Used the Stampin Up Stamp Set Itty Bitty Background for the spots on the Banana's. After I took this picture I decided to stamp Thanks A Bunch on the front of the Card. Sorry I didn't have a picture of that. It did make it a lot cuter. I also added some Red and White Twine to the top.  Now I think those Banana's look just about good enough to eat. Would Love to know what you think!


   You can click on the Picture to make It larger!

Hi and Welcome to the "HAVE AN OWLSOME FALL Y'ALL BLOG HOP" I'm Sooo Excited that It's finally the Day for this Blog Hop! Fall is my Favorite time of year and I am addicted to Owls! So to have two of my favorite things together. Well it just don't get any better than that.

Since I Love Fall and Owls so much I wanted my Project to be something that I could really enjoy. So after some thinking I thought that I would make some kind of Centerpiece Decoration, that I could sit up.
So I decided to make a Fall Owl Tree. I got two rectangle pieces of Styro Foam.Glued them together and glued them to a Cardboard base and glued sheets of moss to the Styro Foam. Drew a Tree on Cardboard. Cut it out with an Exacto Knife. Added Paper.Cut out again. The Owls that I made are from the Cricut Cartridges- Hoot n Holler,Paisley and Gypsy Wanderings. The Leaves were made with the Disney Mickey and Friends Cartridge and I stamped them using the Itty Bitty Backgrounds Stamp Set from Stampin Up. The Acorns were made with the Create a Critter Cartridge and Embossed the tops with the Swiss Dots Folder. The Fence was made with the Mini Monsters Cartridge and I Embossed them with the Tim Holtz Wood Grain Folder. The Pumpkins were made with the Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge. Used the Dot,Dot, Dot Stamp from Stampin Up on the tall Pumpkins. The Sign was cut from the Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge and Stamped with the Weathered Background Stamp from Stampin Up. The Squirrel was cut from the Cindy Loo Cartridge.




























Oh, Isn't my Fall Owl Tree just to Cute!!!! I LOVE IT! Everyone that has came to visit me wants to take it home with them. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Hope that wasn't to many pictures and I Hope that you like It to.
