Pink Owl Pillow Box

I made this owl box for my daughters upcoming 1st birthday party.. forest/nature theme just like her baby shower and nursery. I used Cricut Wrap it up cartridge to make the base pillow box and my gypsy to hide the shapes originally on the box. I cut the wings by hand and the beak. The eyes are google eyes and i adhered 3 rows of feathers in different colors on the belly.

I was inspired by pinterest to make this box.. and the original boxes I was inspired by can be viewed HERE

Adams Birthday lol + whats new

I'll start with whats new...

We recently got back from our trip to IN, OH, KY & TN. Adam had work in TN and was nice enough to add some days and ton of money to the trip to let me see my cousin/best friend in the whole world, she live in OH. After a few days with her & her fiance and daughter we went to TN for Adams conference. We stayed 2 nights at a Marriott and then Adam moved us to the hotel where his conference was (the Opryland Hotel) for the rest of the trip. this place is massive!! I mean unbelievably HUGE! It had 3 areas inside that looked like the outside with waterfalls and ponds etc etc.. (9 acres total). Anyway, it's were the Grand Ole Opry is located now. While there we at at the Melting Pot for the first (and very last) time. $100 for dinner that we had to cook ourselves and not even enough to fill you up. We also went to the location of the original Grand Ole Opry.. and all I wanted out of the entire trip was to get a Shotgun Red puppet (just like the ones my grandma bought for me & my bro and brought back from her trip to Nashville when we were little).. and did i find one? NO! ugh.. rip off. (pics to come soon)

I've also recently overspent my scrapping budget (for 2 years lol) easy. I got a bunch of carts for $12.50 from papercraftingpro.com along with some imagine mats for $4.90.. a new expression for $119 (mine is on its last leg :( very sad). And I got some carts from ebay.. and some imagine ink from cricutmachine.com for less than $20 each (both black & color).

We're getting all ready for Thanksgiving (and black Friday of course lol).. We go to Adams family at around 1pm leave there around 3pm.. (hopefully stop off at Michaels for their sales that start on Thanksgiving from 4 - 10pm on the way to my family).. drive to my family (45min - 1 hr drive from adams family).. get there at 5ish pm leave at 8ish pm and drop the girls off for the night with Adams mom so we can shop for black friday starting at Walmart at 10pm. I have not yet decided if we're gonna leave Harmony or not.. (I know its not extremely safe to take her bf shopping but... I've never been away from her certainly not over night and im not really sure I wanna do that yet).

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving...

Now onto my project..

For Adams birthday I made this...

card - cut from Wrap It Up cart

this is a coupon book I made using the same papers.. i cut them using SCAL and my expression.. and punched holes with my Big Bite II and added a binder ring and tied some ribbon to the ring.

these are cupcake toppers (or in this case brownie toppers).. The tombstones worked so much better with brownies i mean it looked more realistic than it would have on cupcakes lol.. its like a graveyard of brownies lol.

I am entering these into the following challenge:

Apple of My Eye Layout

Made this "Apple of my eye" layout using Wrap It Up for the apple cut at 4 inches, all of the letters are cut form Once Upon A Princess at 1.5 inches. To make the apple glittery I added some glitter glue from the dollar tree. The ribbon is from Michaels in the $1 bin of ribbon.. its so cute I had to use it for this layout. I took the pics of Jayden last October for one of her monthly photo shoots. And the layout for this was from Sketch 7.14 at Sketchy Thursdays.

Don't Be Crabby Card

I made this card using my new Pack Your Bags cricut cart and my brand new K Andrew Stamps Splashtastic Summer! I cut the crab at 4 inches and used scribbles 3d paint for the eyes (white & black). I stamped the sentiment "Don't be crabby" on a blue piece of card stock that was cut down to 2 x .5 inches. The blue background paper is glittery card stock cut to fit the card at 5x7. And the brown paper at the bottom (its supposed to be sand but I didnt really make that come across so well lol) is brown packing paper that we got during the move its the stuff they use to wrap glass stuff. I think its pretty cool stuff so i kept a bunch (my husband told me I was crazy and I'd never use it! I showed him!!!).
