Birthday Card In a Box!!!

 Hello Crafters,

 Yesterday my Baby Girl turned 30 years old. It's still hard to believe It. The years have just flew by. She is a Beautiful woman and I Love her so much and I'm very proud of her.

 So I thought I would share with you the Card that I made her.         
 

 I knew that I wanted to make her a colorful Fun Card. So I thought I would try making one of the Card In a Box Cards.

I think it turned out Cute and she Loved It! She was so surprised and had never seen anything like It.

Just when I was just about done with the Card. I decided to make the Owl. She Loves Owls as much as I do and I do think It made it a lot better.

 The Owl is a Punch from Stampin Up and the Owls wings were made using the Stampin Up Oval Punch and Scalloped Oval Punch.

The back of the Card was where I wrote to her. I know you can't tell from the picture. But the Stars were cut from White Glitter Cardstock and everything was sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist, so everything was sparkly and added White Stickles to the Birthday Hat.

 Cricut Cartridges that I used,

Create a Critter 2 - Balloons, Red Pointed Circle, Birthday Hat

Wild Card- Black Curly's

Cricut Classic Font- Happy Birthday and It's Your Day

Child's Year- Stars

 I got this Card Idea from youtube. But not sure which one it was from. I do know the Card base to make the Box was 5-1/2 x 9.
 So if you would like to try making one. You can go to youtube and there are several tutorials on there.
The only thing I changed was the stripes inside the box. Every video that I watched had two, I made three. Just so I could add more things.

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you enjoyed seeing my Card in a Box.  Happy Day to you all.

Two little Spooky Houses!

 

Happy Halloween! So glad you stopped by. Our town is having Trick or Treating tomorrow Night. So I have an extra day to get things ready for Trick or Treater's to come.

My Daughter is going to be making me a big batch of Chocolate No Bake Cookies to give out. Thought that was so sweet of her to offer. They are my favorite cookies, so I hope she makes a few extra.

I Love Halloween and my Grand Children do to and I try to do something a little crafty with them before Halloween. So this year I bought them little wooden Haunted Houses for them to decorate.

I ask them if they wanted to add Halloween paper but they both said no, they just wanted to paint them. So I thought I would take a picture of their little masterpieces and share them with you all.

They are Soooo Spooky Cute!!! Hee! Hee!

I also thought I would share a few pictures of my Grand Children carving their Pumpkins.

Love how their Pumpkins turned out and really like the last picture that was taken at night. Like how you can see the black cat window clings behind them.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have Fun and Safe Halloween and hope you don't get Spooked.:0)

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!

Disney Autograph Books!

Good Morning and Thanks for stopping by. I got back from Vacation Friday Night and was Exhausted. We had a wonderful time at Disney World. Well maybe not the day we had Thunderstorms. But we all bought rain Ponchos and still had fun.

I must say the food at Disney is Great. I'm sure we all gained a few pounds. But it was worth It. Two of the nights that we were there we went by boat to have Supper. The kids loved It and one night while going back we were the only one's on this huge boat. So he stopped and we watched the Fireworks from the boat. It was really fun.
It was so fun sharing all of those fun moments with my Grand Children. They were so Excited to see all of the Characters and they Loved the Autograph Books that I made for them.

Here is the Autograph Books that I made for them to take.

Walkers Book was made from The Gypsy Wondering and The Mickey and Friends Cartridge. I made the eye patch by hand.

Scarlett's Book was made using the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge. Added lots of ribbons to It.

They really had a fun time getting Autographs and there was several they didn't get. Hopefully they will go again and get the rest of them. But I'm glad I took the time to make them and I think they turned out Cute.

After our five day stay at Disney we went to Cocoa Beach. My Grand Children and I had never seen the Ocean in real life before. My Daughter had several years before. So this was pretty Exciting for us.

We stayed at the Best Western right by the Beach and It was pretty nice. We got there at night so It was pretty exciting the next morning when we opened the curtains and seen the Ocean.

Here are a some Pictures of our trip.

I had better stop there, Because I could post pictures rest of the day. But as you can see It was a Fun time. If you have never been I suggest going.



Before I go, I want to Invite you all to a Halloween Blog Hop that I'm going to be In. It's October 18th and the 19th. Hope you all can make It.

Again Thanks for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed the Pictures. Happy Day to you!!!   Cindy

Vacation,Petite Miss and Crochet

Hi Bloggy Friends, So nice of you to stop by. Wanted to get this post in because I am going on Vacation in a few days.
I am going to Florida with my Daughter and Grand Children to Walt Disney World. My Grand Children are so Excited. We have never been to Walt Disney World. We will be staying for a week and then going to Coco Beach. Which I am SOOOO Excited. This will be our first time seeing the Ocean. Whoooo Hoooo!
Just not looking forward to long drive and not to Excited about all of the walking either. But I'm taking my Go walk Shoes.  So I'll let you know if they are good for that much walking.                            

So before I take off I want to share with you what I made my Grandkids to take to Florida.
It's a pouch that I Crocheted to hang behind the front seat to hang below one of the DVD Players to hold their movies.  

                 This was my first time making anything like It. So it turned out o.k.  I did make the strap a little to long. Going to shorten It a little. Made it in Grey and a strip of yellow. Thought it would look good with the Interior of my Daughters car. Unfortunately the picture doesn't show the colors very good.

I also wanted to share that my Grand Daughter Scarlett was in the Fall Festival Pageant here in our hometown and she won Petite Miss. She was so Excited. There was 16 girls in her group. We were all Excited. She did such a wonderful Job. So Proud of her.

Here is a few pictures of her in the Pageant.

 As you can tell she was pretty Shocked and Excited. Sorry about the picture of her in the crown. Her hand moved and made it look all blurry. Sometimes I can get so mad at my Camera.

Well It is time for me to go. The Grand Kids are spending the night and they are wanting something to eat. So I had better go. But I want to Thank you again for stopping by.

Quilt Card for Grandma!

Hello, So glad you could stop by. I have been so busy in my Craft Room. I have several projects going. But all projects were put on hold today because I had to make a very Special Card for a very Special Person. I made a Birthday Card for my Grandma Sophie.

Today is her Birthday! She is 101 years old. It's hard for me to put into words how Wonderful it is to have her in mine and my families lives. She is such a Blessing.

I call her Mamaw, most Grand Mother's are called Mamaw around here.

Mamaw Loves to make Quilt's and has made and given away many to her family. I have one and Cherish It.

So today, when trying to figure out what kind of card to make her, I thought hey, why not a Quilt Card.
So I picked out some cardstock that I thought would go together and here is the card that I came up with.

Supplies used:

Cardstocks- Blue Bayou, Purely Pomegranate, Pink, Very Vanilla
Flower Card Stock from My Minds Eye- Blush Sweet

S.U. Sizzlets Little Leaves Die

S.U. Oval Scallop Punch

S.U. Large Oval Punch

S.U. Scallop Circle Punch

S.U. 1- 3/8th Square Punch

S.U. Sincere Salutations Stamp Set

Embossed the squares with the Square Lattice Folder from S.U.

For the Flower, I punched out five Scallop Circles and wet them with water. Scrunched them up. Let them dry some. Opened them up part way and let them dry rest of the way.

Sponged Purely Pomegranate Ink on the edges. Glued all of the pieces together and added a Sparkly Pearl in the center and added a Purely Pomegranate Ribbon.

I really think she is going to Love her Card. Combines two of her favorite things. Quilts and Flowers.
Hope you enjoyed seeing the card that I made. Thanks again for stopping by.    Cindy

Super Cute Owl Key Chains!

 Hello Bloggy Friends, How are you all doing? I'm doing good. Today was the first day of school here in my hometown. So I didn't have the Grand Kids here. It was kind of nice to have the house to my self. But I missed having them here to. But I'm sure they will be asking to spend the night.

I wanted to show you the little Owl key chains that I made. I Love Owls and these were Sooooo fun to make and super easy.

 I made the purple one for me, but thought it was a little to big. So I used a smaller hook. I am going to make me another one and this one is going to hang off of my rear view mirror. Made the Turquois one for my Grand Daughter. She Is going to hook it on her backpack.

I made this one in Fall colors for my Daughter Jade. She loves It!
 I now have several family members wanting one to. I'm also going to make one to hang on my Christmas Tree. So as you can see you can use them for more than just a key chain.

Going to post the link to these Cuties at the end of this post If you would like to try making one.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a Sunshine-y Day!
