Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! 

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! I can't believe the new year is about to be on us! It flew by for me that's for sure!

I am so excited to be a guest designer for Jaded Blossom! Thanks Michelle & Candace for giving me this opportunity! I have so much fun with their amazing products (if you can't tell from all my posts with all their goodies!). 

I knew I wanted to do a New Year's treat but couldn't quite figure out what I wanted to do! I was at Sam's Club the other day and I bought my boys their sparking cider for their toast and thought a fun tag would be cute on it (I will be giving it to my little neighbor friend!). 




Supplies ~

Bottle Label Tag-bracket by Lori Whitlock
Ribbon & Button from my stash 
American Crafts paper "My Girl"


Thank you so much for checking out my project today! 

Have a happy & healthy New Year!

Day 10 already! The last 9 have flown by! Hope you all have been having a great time =) Each & everyone of these ladies is just awesome! 

We just got our Christmas tree today and I can't wait to decorate it! The grinch is one of my top 5 favorite movies so I made a Grinch ornament for our tree this year. Love how he turned out =)



Cute right? I used a 4" glass ornament from Hobby Lobby and used neon green paint inside. I applied the Grinch's face and tied some ribbon to the top.

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop ~ Day 8

Thanksgiving is over and its time to pull out the Christmas decorations! We normally don't do much since we always travel up to NY for the holidays, but we are staying home this year! Not sure how I'm going to feel seeing palm trees and wearing flip flops on Christmas morning, but we shall see! 

I love our Christmas stockings! They are just so beachy/Florida-y and I love them! We just recently adopted 2 amazing little puppies, Nova & Neptune. They are 4 months old, Weimaraner/Lab mix. I needed stockings for them too of course and decided to make theirs. 


Jayce, Logan, Aiden, Mom, Dad, Nova & Neptune
Went to Walmart, grabbed 2 stockings (1 red, 1 green) and came home and went to work. WELL! I don't do much HTV and tonight was definitely a DUH kind of moment with it! I was so excited that I was finally remembering to do everything right, until I turned their stocking the right way and realized their names were upside down! HAHA!!! 


Upside down!
Thank goodness I had 2 extra stockings at home and I was able to use them. I didn't get to use my green one but thats ok ;)



They were so easy to do (after I realized to do them upside down when turned inside out!). I used green glitter HTV I purchased at Expressions Vinyl

12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop ~day 7

Welcome to the 12 days of Christmas blog hop hosted by Lisa from Honey Bearz Designs! This hop will run from 11/24-12/5 and will be full of fun Christmas ideas and inspiration to get you ready for the holiday season! Such an awesome way to get you inspired to make some holiday cards or finish up some layouts, maybe even some Christmas decor! Sit back and join us for all 12 days and be inspired! There will be a new project each day from all of us with a guest designer helping us out too!

A friend of mine had posted on FB a picture of DIY ornaments. They looked so much fun! So, I googled it and found this blog Hello Homebody where she listed directions on how to make them. It seemed simple enough, and like a fun project to do with my kids. Well, was I wrong! HAHA! I think I need to stick to paper crafting instead ;)





     

My boys were bored after finally unwrapping the mints! They helped me fill a few and then bailed. I put them in the oven and the directions said 5-10 minutes but keep an eye on them. I checked after 3 and my oven was full of smoke! They still werent ready so I dealt with it and left them in for another 2-3 minutes. When I took them out, I had to poke a hole in the top for the string. Let them cool a bit and then took them out of the cookie cutters to finish hardening back up. The hole started to get a mint layer back over it sadly :( 

The concept is cute, but I'm not sure I'll ever try this one again! If you have better luck, please share with me! Maybe I did something wrong! But, I wanted to share anyway because like I said, it is a fun project to do with your kids (mine just had other plans in mind!). And while your looking at the directions on that website, check the rest out! She has some really great recipes and posts.

Another print & cut image from the silhouette store. I just thought this one was so vintage looking. i love the simplicity off it and didn't want to over do the card! I put a little washi tape in the corner and stamped an image from Jaded Blossom on it.
