Turkey Poop

11/13/2009

0 Comments

 
Hi...hope everything is going well for you.  I stayed home from work today because I was throwing up in the morning...and no I'm not pregnant...at least I don't think I am..  I think I got enough rest so I can do that show tomorrow.  Somehow between all the meetings and all the work around the house I managed to find some time to do some crafts this week.

For the show tommorrow, I came up with a funny and cute and kinda gross idea.  I had picked up a bag of candy corn from Smart and Final a few weeks ago.  I decided to make a gift bag that said turkey poop and I put the candy corn in the bag.  I don't know how well the poop will sell, but it was enough to make me and my hubby laugh and sometimes that's all that matters. 

I also went to Home Depot for my other project.  I needed a better way to display all the stuff I had made, so I went in search of that board with all the holes in it (pegboard to the salesman).  I found the size I needed, bought 2 boards, a couple of hinges, and some pegs and wah la instant display board.  Well not exactly.  I tried to try to build it myself before my husband came home.  I searched throughout all of his tools and found some rivets.  I thought this would work well, so I looked another half an hour before I found the rivet gun (aren't you impressed I knew what I was looking for?)  You would have been even more impressed if it would have actually worked, but alas I failed again.  The holes in the peg board were too big for the rivet.  So I had to wait for my hubby to come home.  After dinner I sent him out to get the right hardware.  Then he built the display board for me.  I worked way better than I thought it would.  It's portable, holds a ton of stuff, and looks great.  

Have a great weekend and I hope you can use these ideas.  Thanks for looking...happy crafting to you!!!

Word Scrapbook

11/5/2009

0 Comments

 
I went to a craft store the other day and they had these super cute mini scrapbooks that had a letter on each page and it spelled out a word when they are closed.  I really liked the one that said sisters.  I didn't buy it because I don't have a sister.  I'm not sure if they're called Word Scrabooks or not---but that's what I'm calling them today. 

I was on cricut.com earlier in the week and I found the instructions on how to make these books.  So I decided to challenge myself and attempt to make one.  I had a lot of fall type stuff lying around, so I decided my word would be AUTUMN.  This happens to be my dog's name, so I might eventually put some of her pictures in there or maybe I can sell these little books.  It wasn't that hard to make when you welded the letters together with the Cricut design studio software.  It was kind of time consuming.  I think with more practice I could get faster at making them.  I binded my book together with eyelets and ribbon, because I don't have one of those Bind-It-All things yet....that's on my wish list too :)  BTW I used my Cricut to cut out the base of each letter page so it wasn't so flimsy.  You could probably use heavy weight cardstock, but this was easier for me.

The day after I made this book, my sil wanted me to mak her a scrapbook for a baby shower.  I thought it would make a cool brag book by personalizing this word book with the baby's name.  So I sent her these pictures and I'm waiting to see what she wants to do. 

Hope you enjoy the pictures.  Tell me what you think.  Have a great week and happy crafting to you!!!

Card Challenge

8/30/2009

0 Comments

 
I just finished cleaning up all the dead ants that invaded my house yesterday.  There were all these litlle ant-i-bodies all over the place---I know that was cheesey, but I had to get it in there.

Well last night I went on the Cricut website.  I happened to stumble upon a challenge page.  They challenged people to make 15-30-50 blank cards which would be sent to military members, so they could write home to their loved ones.  They wanted Halloween, Fall, B-day, thinking of you cards, etc.  It could be anything you wanted to make, but you ship it to wherever they designate.  I thought this was pretty cool, so I signed up to make 15 cards.  That was realistic for me since I am starting back to school.  So last night I started working on them, and I was able to crank out 6 cards before I got tired and fell asleep.  I surprised myself.  I might end up making more afterall.  So here are the cards I made last night.  Let me know if you like them or if you would like more information to participate in this challenge.  I think it ends in 4 weeks.
