Scrapping The Little Things

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Scrapping The Little Things!"

I feel like I haven't did a scrapbook page in like….FOREVER!  This was a SPECIAL page because this year we celebrated my Father's 87th Birthday!  YEP……87 looks AWESOME on this man! :)

Here he is with my boys & my nieces having a GREAT time celebrating his special day.  As you can see, he is a proud Raider Fan…..LOL….. that's why he is holding his sweatshirt so everyone can see! hahahaha~!

You can see in my video below how my SIMPLE page came together! 

MCT Products Used:

~ Mad For Plaid

~ Let's Party Word Dies

Here is my video for you today!

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!

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! 

Tag it Tuesday

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another (MY FAVORITE) "Tag it Tuesday!" Since you ALL know that I LOVE making tags, this is my FAVORITE day! ;) I REALLY wanted to do a video for you today, but it was my hubby's birthday yesterday & Anthony had a game last night, so there  was no time. I WILL have a video for you at some point this week for sursies! :)

For our tags today, we all used this photo inspiration for what we did!  

Please excuse my wet glossy accents, I was too impatient to wait for it to dry! lol….

I used my Vintage stitched label dies, which I thought were PERFECT for this tag! I made the lifesaver using my Bunch of circle dies! I just die cut everything & put it together….it was pretty straight forward! I added the tiny tag last at the top because it felt like it was missing something at the top. BUT at the same time, I covered up the navy blue eyelet I had put onto the tag :( 

I hope you enjoyed my tag as much as I enjoyed making it for you today!

MCT products used:

~ Vintage stitched label dies (for my tag & banner) (back in stock in 3 weeks)

~ Hey Sailor (ahoy)

~ Chunky Jar Accessories (for you & tiny tag)

3D Wednesday

Good morning my sweet creative friends & welcome to another 3-D Wednesday!  Today I have a SUPER CUTE project for you! I saw these adorable little jars at Hobby Lobby & thought these would look cute on your table at each place setting for Halloween! What a SUPER FUN little treat for your guests! I put some candy corn M&M's inside (my fave) ! ;)  Remember those straws I also picked up from Hobby Lobby? well, here they are again w/my rosette die & a Trick or Treat banner! I was SO HAPPY that my felt finally arrived & I couldn't wait to use my orange zest color to make a super cute bow w/my new bow die!

Here it is in its entirety!

Here is a side view of how adorable this little jar is that I found at Hobby Lobby! It's only about 3 1/4 inches tall! A PERFECT little treat to set on your table at each place setting!

Supplies used:
