Duct Tape Kit

Is Duct Tape not the craziest of all of the new fads?  I mean seriously, what can't you do with it.  Hubby has always sworn by it but not it is all my kids want to.  I got this plastic case for $5 bucks on sale and found that Duct Tape fits perfectly in it!  So I filled it with 9 Duct Tapes which fit perfect in the case!  Then we put in a craft book for making things with it.  Then I used my Cuttin Up font cartridge and some vinyl and personalized it for my daughter.  Needless to say, she loved it!!!

Now we have Duct Tape everywhere and for everything.  You name it.  

Project for my son's door

Hello again!

My husband says I am a blog addict.  What does he know?!  Seriously, is compulsively reading blogs and working on projects to post an addiction?!  MEN!  The great news is today while playing with sanding some new cardstock I was able to watch him fold laundry ;)

Some friends and I started a "Cricut Club."  Now, if you read through my other posts you realize, and can see that I fully accept and admit, that I am a geek.  So, this club suits me just perfect ;)  One of the craft stores has generously allowed us to use their classroom to meet in.  Which in itself is terribly dangerous to the wallet.  ANYWAY, today our project was vinyl on glass.  You will also learn quickly that I do love vinyl.

I made this sign for my son's wall.  The frame was on clearance for $1.98!  The paper is from the "All About Boys" scrap pad.  I think that was DCWV.  The "Rick" is cut out using my Cuttin' Up cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by!!!!  If you have less than 75 followers check out my Linky Party!

Spring card... if it will EVER come to us!

So I am finding that I enjoy the challenges on the blogs WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much!  One thing I really love doing is seeing how many I can combine into one project.  It gives me an incredible challenge instead of just a challenge.  I am sickly competitive so I compete against myself.  I want to see if I can make something better than the time before.

This is my first time using a flower or button on a project!  I really like it too.  I can't believe that I like it this much and now it is ONE MORE thing to spend MONEY on!  YIKES poor hubby... less money and bigger laundry piles are in his future :).

Below the pic is the information on the challenges I put this car in!

THANK YOU so much for visiting my blog.  Thanks in advance to new followers and for blog love!

 

Isn't the blue card stock so cute?!  It is from core'denations

The "Time 4" came from the Cuttin' Up, it actually said "Time 4 fun" and I cut the fun off.

"Spring" is from Stretch Your Imagination.

The paper flower is from Bazzill Basics Paper.

The "pearls" were something I picked up for a buck at A.C. Moore.

I used scraps for the flowers and for the strip of paper on the bottom of the card.

The "stiching" is with my favorite Fiskars gel pens.

The card is 9x4

Challenges:

Peachy Keen Stamps has a sketch challenge going on that I followed for my layout on this card.  The twist, add some bling.  Notice the bottom right hand corner ;)

Claudia and Company have a recipe challenge.  This was my hardest one to follow! 

Stitching (real or faux)- I am really starting to like stiching
2 patterned papers- my flowers
buttons- center of my flower
a sentiment
circles- button and pearls
scallops- This was my harder one to fit in.  I used scallop scissors to cut the pattern paper stripe
Pause Dream Enjoy challenges us to do a fun fold.  I used a long fold.
Cricut Cardz Challenge is to do a tall card, so I did and then laid it on it's side.
 For Fun Challenges and Patti Lynn Creations is to do a spring card!  I LOVED doing something springy.  Winter is depressing me.
Paper Craft Star  challenges you to make a spring card using specific colors.
Tuesday Throw Down is to use scraps.  That is what I used for the lettering, flowers, and paper strip.
Cooking With Cricut is challenging us to use a time piece or reference time in our card. 

Wow! I am tired just typing all that :)

First Blog Hop- 100th day of school banner

I have never done a blog hop... I created a blog just so I could participate in things like this so here is my first chance!

My Pink Stamper is doing the blog hop.  I watch her blog faithfully and am pretty excited about participating.  The challenge was to do black with our favorite colors.  I teach Kindergarten so when I do something for school I LOVE any bright colors I can get my hands on!  Monday we are celebrating our 100th day of school so I thought this was a good excuse to make a banner.

To do this I used Celebrations and Cuttin' Up Cricut cartridges.  I would love any feedback on this project or my others.  I am new to this and love when people share ideas with me!!!

Most of all THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
