Happy 8th Birthday Chloe!

Hello everyone!  I'm excited to be here with another project today!  This one is for my niece, Chloe.  Her birthday was actually on Sunday, but her party is today.  When I asked her what she wanted, she said she wants "spending money".  She's going to be going on a trip to Disneyland, so she wants some moolah to take with her!  :)  I saw this idea for a jar with a hidden "compartment" on Pinterest.  I didn't want to give my 8 year old niece a jar full of candy, so I decided to give her one of those mason jar cups instead.  Now the jar will have a function for her once she's eaten the candy.  I also wanted to add her name to the side, so I pulled out my vinyl, and voila!  Hope you enjoy...

Vinyl
Mason jar/mason jar cup
Tag made on my computer- "Happy Birthday" Captain Howdy font size 26, "sweet girl" Honey Bunches font size 48
Twine
Candy
Cardstock

To make the middle compartment, I just cut a piece of cardstock, rolled it up into a tube shape, stapled it, and then stood it up in the middle of the cup.  I then filled it with layers of Chloe's favorite, dairy free candies.  Bottom layer to top layer: Twizzler's bites, gummy worms, Sour Patch kids, Skittles, Happy Cola gummies.  I'm really excited to give this to her today!  Hope she likes it...  Thanks for stopping by!  :)

Happy 30th Birthday to my Sister!

Tooth Fairy Card

Hello!  Well, it's time for my second post of the day and it is time for another challenge at Fantabulous Cricut!  The challenge this week is:  National Tooth Fairy Day- make a project using a tooth, tooth fairy, or smile.  I wanted to make sure that I used some glitter on this card, because when I think of the tooth fairy, I think of glitter!!!!  I used glitter paper and Stickles to make it extra sparkly.  Here it is....

Dog Mini Album- Part 2

Hey there!  I hope everyone is enjoying their 3 day weekend as much as I am! :)  Yesterday I went and hung out with a couple of friends, and today I've been working on a yearbook for my students.  I can't believe another school year is almost over!!!!  Anywho, here are the next couple of pages from my mini album.   



I wanted these two pages to show off pictures of my dogs when they were puppies.  For the dogs I used the Create a Critter cartridge, both are cut at 2".  The white dog is actually the dog in the booklet wearing the fire helmet, so I had to round the top of the shadow off (with my scissors) to get rid of the hat.  I hid their faces on my Gypsy, and then stamped faces for them using the Peachy Keen Critter Faces- medium.  The titles are from the Alphalicious cartridge.  They are cut at 1.94" and I used my Gypsy to weld them together.  I embossed them with the same sparkle embossing powder and then covered them with Glossy Accents.  The pockets measure 4 x 6", the layers for the pockets are 3 3/4 x 5 3/4".  I added eyelets with my Crop-a-Dile and brown ribbon.  The tags inside the pockets were cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More at 3.25 x 6.25".  I added ribbon scraps to the ends of the tags and stapled them into place.  I put two tags in each pocket and used them for puppy pictures and journaling.  Whew!  That's a lot of explaining...  Hope you likey!!! :)
