Penguin Candy Wrappers - November 12, 2012

I found this idea at Reflections by Jennifer.  However, instead of creating my penguins with punches, I used my Cricuit.I used the George & Basics Shapes cartridge for the ovals, (his white belly) circles (the eyes, hat), and hearts (nose and feet). I also broke out a crafting item that I had not used in years.  Can you guess what item it would be?  I will not hold you in suspense - scallop crafting scissors, and snowflakes brads for the top of the hat.  It turned out so cute! Inside is a package of two reese cups!  I just love how one looks like a girl penguin and the other a boy just by changing up the googly eyes!  I hope these sell well at my craft fair in December.  Thanks for Stopping by!!!

I am a birdbrain - November 1, 2012

Another card using that great Raisin Boat set For the Birds.  It says, "Sorry", and inside, "I am a birdbrain".  Just a perfect card, when we decide to do something birdbrain!  What do you think? I can imagine a moment when I become Unglued, and say something and later feel like a birdbrain. 

This image is perfectly paired with Tuesday Morning Sketch  #170, which is offering a quite creative sketch this week.   The other challenges, I am entering are Twisted Tuesday Anything Goes 2TC30, The Paper Shelter 88 - Anything Goes, Paper Playtime Challenge #87 Anything Goes, and Totally Stampalicious Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by, and try not to be a birdbrain this week!

Birthday for the Birds! - October 28, 2012

It has been awhile since I have been able to post any of my craft projects!  Life has been hectic especially after taking on extra responsibilities lately.  I am super excited to participate in The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #SSS182.  My stamp set is called For the Birds by Raisin Boat!  I just get a kick out of their sets, they make me smile!   I will post another creation during this week.  It sure feels good to be back in the swing of things!  Thanks for stopping by!
