Manly Monday!

GOOD MORNING & HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY Weekend!

It is GREAT to be back in my craft room this week! Last week was SOOO CRAZY that I did not even get to step one foot into my craft room so I had FUN making this SIMPLE card for you today! :)

Before I get to my card, I just wanted to share that my boys are finally OUT FOR SUMMER!!!! YAAAAH!! :) Last week they had finals, last minute projects, many pot lucks for the end of the year which meant "I" had to work too! for the potlucks that is! ;) Like I said in my video, I was SO VERY PROUD of BOTH of my boys because they BOTH ACED "ALL" of their finals & they did get their final grades & they got ALL A's in ALL of their classes!!! WHOOHOO!

I always tell them that HARD WORK does pay off! :)

Okay, now onto my card! :) You can see in my video how I put my simple card together!

My Favorite Stamp of the Month!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "My Favorite Stamp of the Month!" Can you even BELIEVE we are in October ALREADY??? This makes me THOROUGHLY HAPPY! lol… ;)

This set will be on sale for the entire month of October! The sale will end on October 31, 2015 @ 12:00am PST!

For my card today, I WANTED to do a video, but TRUST ME, it would've been an EXTRA long one! hehehe! I am STILL learning how to water properly! ;) Just to water color this card, it took me 1 1 1/2 hour to complete the coloring ONLY! That's pretty sad ….Huh? What took me the LONGEST was the background! I was NEVER satisfied with it so I came heat setting it, then add more colors a FEW times until it looked decent! Basically, this ENTIRE card was watercolored! The ONLY thing that was not, is the base of the card!
The funny thing is that this card came to me different in my brain, but I still think it came out cute! ;) I used my Bunch of Circle Dies to create the moon! Maybe if I keep practicing my coloring, then I will have the nerve to do an entire card like this on video for you! ;)
I was ALSO HAPPY to FINALLY have the new Droplets in my hands to add it to my card! I think it was the BEST final touch! You can see EVERYTHING I used in the products listed below this picture.

MCT Products Used:

~ You're My Hero

~ 3 Stitched Star Dies

Manly Monday!

GOOD MORNING MY SWEET FRIENDS!!!

I am back & it sure feels good to be back in my craft room again! Last week was rough because I ended up getting sick & BOTH of my boys were sick as well :( We all had miserable sinus infections :(

The only person who actually managed to stay healthy was my hubby! We are all finally feeling better except for my Baby Aaron. He had to get a stronger antibiotic & hopefully he starts feeling back to himself SOON! ;)

Okay, now onto a new segment we will be featuring on our blogs!

Since a lot of us have a hard time creating "masculine" cards, Miss Liz from my team thought it would be a good idea to have a "Manly Monday" to help us all out! :)

For my card today, I put this together in NO TIME at all! I just used my "You're My Hero" stamp set along w/my "3 Stitched Star" dies & kept it SUPER SIMPLE!! It was SOO HARD NOT to add anything else to it…….lol….I tried to keep it as simple as possible & I actually was REALLY HAPPY with how it turned out!

MCT Products Used:

~ You're My Hero

What a Treat Wednesday!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY my sweet friends & welcome back to another "What a Treat Wednesday!"

First off, before I get to my project, I just want to say a big CONGRATS to my younger guy "Anthony". Today is a BIG day for him because he is graduation from the 8th grade & headed to the BIG BOY highschool! :) I am proud to say that my baby will be graduating with honors! I am MOSTLY proud of, is that he has managed to maintain his 4.0 status since the 4th grade~! I have stressed to him that if he wants to still play baseball, it is VERY IMPORTANT to have excellent grades & I am HAPPY that he listened!

With that said, I snuck a little something in this box for him! I can't say OR show you what it is because he sometimes looks at my blog! ;) Let's just say that he will be one HAPPY little boy! :)

I decided to use the Milk Carton Die & it was SIMPLE to put together AND it hides the gift PERFECTLY! :) You can see in my video below how I created this!

MCT Products Used:

~ Milk Carton Die

~ Bunch of Stitched Stars

~ You're my Hero

~ Stitched Curly Label Die

Other:

~ Anna Griffin MINC machine

~ Rose Gold Foil

Teach Me Thursday!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to our first "Teach Me Thursday!" When ever we have 5 Thursdays in a month, we will be doing this feature as a BONUS for all of "YOU!" I hope you enjoy this! Basically, at each one of my design team member's blogs, you will see a step by step tutorial explaining to you EXACTLY how they created each project!

I decided to make a "Shaker Card Tag!" I always make cute tags to attach to my gift bags & put a separate card on the inside. I thought it would be cute to make a tag into a card so I can eliminate putting a separate card on the inside of a gift! I explain in my video below exactly how I created this FUN card tag! :)

Here is how it looks opened up! There is plenty of room for you to stamp a sentiment on the inside OR write a personal message for the recipient!

MCT Products Used:

~ Bunch of Stitched Star Dies

~ You're My Hero

~ Vintage Label Die

Other Products Used:

~ Double Sided Sticky Foam

~ Martha Stewart's Micro Beads

~ 4M Sparkling Clear Sequins

~ Glitter Foam from yesterday's post HERE!

Here is my video tutorial for you today!

Now onto the BESTEST design team around! Click on each name to visit each blog & see a FUN tutorial on each project! ;)

Wasn't this SUPER FUN??? I hope we all inspired YOU today to sneak into your craft rooms & do one of these or ALL of these tutorials you saw today! Have a FABULOUS day my sweet friends & I will see you all back here SOON! :) xoxo

P.S. I noticed I had a few questions yesterday in my comments & here are the answers! :)

I listed above under the "Other Products Used" the double sided adhesive foam I used and the Glitter Foam that I used for Wednesday's post! There you will see links to where I purchased them from!

Next, someone asked about the green smoothies that I make for family every morning! Here is the recipe here! The EASIEST way to have these every morning is to spend a little time on a Sunday & cut up everything so all you have to do is throw it in your blender each morning! I use a Vitamix & that is where this recipe is from! This green smoothie is actually YUMMY!

Do Over Thursday!

Good morning my sweet friends & welcome to another "Do Over Thursday!" Today is the day that my team & I remake a project that we were not too thrilled about the first time around! I decided to "do-over" this tag HERE! I "really" wasn't happy with it, so I decided to do an entire make over of it! LOL….. ;) I hope you like my newer version using our NEW goodies! I just HAD to put our new adorable hot air balloon from "The Sky is The Limit" onto a tag! I paired it up w/our new star dies along w/one of the sentiments from "You're My Hero" set & I thought it came out pretty cool! ;) The pattern paper I used was from my stash of scraps! :) After adding some cute silver circle confetti's from Pretty Pink Posh next I added the ribbon & twine, then left it alone! hehehe~!
