I decided to use my cameo, Jaded Blossom and Close To My Heart with my project! 
 

I LOVE this little shark! He is a Miss Kate Cuttables image that I bought from the sil store. I had these pre-printed chevron cards already that I bought from Michaels a while back. I added a white background that I embossed with my big kick. 


 I then took another white piece of cardstock that I stamped using JB's "Under the Sea" set that was just released. The sentiment was inked with ctmh's Lagoon ink. I also took that same color and added some color to the bubbles on both of the white mats. I added 3 fun droplets in seaglass color.


And to top off the card, I put the shark on a wobble! I love those things! 

Ingredients:

Miss Kate Cuttables Shark
Jaded Blossom "Under the Sea"

This is one of my top favorite pictures of my top favorite guys. I never had a dad when I was little. Mine bailed when I was about 1. I am so fortunate that my mom met Bryce (Buzz) who helped her raise all 4 of us. This picture was taken at my oldest sons 4th birthday (he is now 10!). Sadly, Buzz passed away 2 years ago this Christmas, but not a day goes by that I don't think of him. His favorite saying has always been, "every day above ground is a good day!". 


Onto my project :


 




 I have been dying to use Jaded Blossoms Mustache Dies and thought Father's Day was a great time to do it! I cut out 2 layered labels with my silhouette. The bottom layer I had in my scraps and the white I inked the edges to match. I made the bow tie to match the bottom layer as well. I then used JB's Flag Die for my sentiment, cutting off the one side of it to fit my card base. I inked that as well to match everything. The sentiment is from JB's Love Mustaches stamp set. The inside is stamped with a sentiment from their Father's Day set. 

I used these cards for a Father's Day card swap I participated in. I forgot to take a picture of the envelope but I put a piece of Mustache washi tape along the bottom of it and used a little mustache stamp on the flap from JB's Love Mustache's set. (wish I took a picture of that...it came out so cute!)

Ingredients :

Jaded Blossom Mustache Dies
Jaded Blossom Flag Dies
Jaded Blossom Love Mustaches
Jaded Blossom Father's Day
Close To My Heart Pear Ink Z2197
Close To My Heart Sky Ink Z2194
scrap paper from my stash

Washcloth Cupcakes

Neal's best friend and his fiance are expecting a baby! We are so excited for them! The shower just passed and I made a few goodies for them =) 

The 1st thing I made was a 1/2 dozen cupcakes...made out of baby size washcloths! More than likely the last set I make too! Rolling those washcloths wasn't the easiest thing to do! 


I used a handful of goodies for this set. All of my very favorite products! 
The 5x7 tray is from the Sil Store. My cupcake liners are from CTMH Artiste Cartridge. My little flag's are from Jaded Blossom using their Treat Flags. I stamped the flags with Babies and Weddings & Sweet Baby. I used a CTMH slate ink pad.  



I just recently re-signed up with Close to my Heart as a consultant. I did this about 1.5 years ago but didn't really get into it. I would love to get it going off the ground and will start having some giveaways shortly! If you every have questions about a product, or need any, please let me know! 


Ingredients:
Jaded Blossom Treat Flags
Jaded Blossom Babies and Weddings
Jaded Blossom Sweet Baby
Close to my heart Slate Ink
Close to my heart Artiste cricut cartridge
Coordinating paper from DCWV Cotton Bloom Stack

Jessica gave us a challenge for this hop. We are playing tic tac toe! Here is the board she gave us...we didn't have to do it in an actual tic tac toe order, but...it was fun to do!  


Now, we all know she is a CTMH consultant, and we know how much she loves it! So, I decided to use my ctmh stash for this project! 


I got this adorable file from the SIL store by Lori Whitlock. I used my ctmh Dream Pop paper for the entire thing. 



Her next love is Jaded Blossom....like, she really really loves them! So, I pulled out my collection of them and used their stamps for everything!



I filled the drawer up with some containers of glitter which I put a little JB sentiment on each.

I really love how this little box turned out! So easy to put together too! (of course, after watching the youtube video! haha!)
