Flute tag

I have fun project to share.

Buttercup plays the flute and her tag broke off her case, so I made her one.

 

I just need to find my crop a dile to punch the darn hole :) the adorable music note is from Pinque Peacock. 

 

Here is the back. This was a great recycling project. It was an old gift card. :)

Pinque Peacock Tutorial

Happy Sunday  :) I created a tutorial for Pinque Peacock.  This is my project for the day.  This started as a CD.

I covered my CD with paper from Little Yellow Bicycle. It is a page kit called Love. I used the same sheet of paper just both sides. Then the heart is one of the embellishments from the kit. I added an angel from Pinque Peacock. Some twine and a mini clothespin to hold a picture. I created this based off a sketch.

 Head over to Pinque Peacock and check out the tutorial on a few different ways to use an embossing folder.

Brr Time for snowman soup

Hi Everyone,
I don't know about your part of the country but here it is freezing cold!  -30 with windchill at times. I wanted to make a gift for my co-teacher at church and the cold weather was the perfect excuse for snowman soup.

I used a peanut butter jar for the base of it. Then I layered in some hot chocolate, mini marshmallows and crushed candy canes.  I took a strip of paper and wrapped it around the jar, then the snowman was on a piece of scrapbook paper and I just cut around it and adhered it on.  For the cover I used a punch and then added the stickers to spell out snowman soup

It was a super easy project and it only took about 20 minutes start to finish. Which was great cause I spent most of my time making the angel kisses jar. LOL  My co-teacher loved it.

I am entering this into My Craft Spot Neighbor gifts.

Angel Kisses

Hi and Happy Thursday!
It is my Design Team day over at Pinque Peacock. It worked out perfectly cause I knew I wanted to make something cute for Princess Buttercup's religon teacher.

So this jar started out as a vitamin bottle. I cleaned it out and scrubbed it and then it took a while but I got all the old label off.  The papers are from a Michaels Christmas stack. I used a border punch on the green papers. Then I chalked all the edges in red.   I wrapped the center with some red and green ribbon. The star was from a Michaels grab bag it was actually attached to a mini clothes pin but I ripped it off... LOL  I added a Pinque Peacock Angel pin. You can find them here.  Here is a close up of the angel.

 For the tag I used my cricut and I can't remember the cartridge but I cut 2 circles out of 2 different papers, ran them through the xyron added some Doodlebug twine and made my tag. I added the angel kisses with silver stickers.

Finally I cut a circle for the top of the jar out of the green snowflake papers.  Then of course I had to fill it with kisses :)

I am also entering this in a few challenges.

Give Thanks Jar

Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday!  I am so excited to bring you a cute little recycled project today.  I wanted to do a little something for the teacher that I teach religon classes with. She is so nice and we have so much fun in class.  I saw this empty peanut butter jar on the counter and I turned it into this....

All the papers are from Doodlebug Designs the new Happy Harvest collection.  The cover I cut a strip3/4x10 and wrapped it around the cover and then traced the cover and hand cut out the top part. The papers around the middle are cut at 3x10.5 and 2x10.5 The picture in the middle, and sentiment flag  Doodlebug stickers. I stuck the flag to the picture and then used baby powder to make it unsticky.    I added some Doodlebug sprinkles to the sticker. I also used some Doodlebug twine. Finally the crowning glory of the project a fabric popper by Pinque Peacock.


Here is the close up of the popper.

I love how it is just a perfect match for the project. Then I just added my kisses and it is ready to go. I will give it to her tomorrow.  Hope she likes it ;)


Enjoy your day.

Chore fund and a few announcements

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a fabulous day.  This was a super quick project.  My husband has been after me to make a container for our chore fund.  I tried a few things, but I didn't like them.  I came up with this.  It is super simple, but I think it works. 

The bottle is a iced drink bottle.  I got a whole bag of them off Freecycle, so there will be a lot more bottle projects.  Anyway, I spray painted the top. Then I had a layout I made at archivers and it got all crunched up during cleaning so I took it apart and made parts of it into the bottle. The ginghams is 2.5 x 9 1/4 the butterfly, I remember was a stamp, and then it got punched out, and I think the flower was a punch too.   I took a paint marker and just wrote chore fund on it.  It is sort of hard to see cause it is a light purple.

I really kept it simple, because I didn't know how often it was going to be handled. 
Have a fabulous day!
