Continuing with June is for weddings....bridal week..

So I have recently been making lots of bridal things to sell in my Etsy Store. I have made some invitations and since we are a Disney family with my husband being a chef there and my daugther working at Cinderella's Royal Table in the Magic Kingdom I had to make some Disney related wedding things. What is more romantic than a fairy tale wedding right? It paid off because the creator of the Disney Wedding Blog contacted me and asked me if she could use my Disney wedding invitations as a giveway on her blog! Of course I said yes, we are doing $50 gift certificate towards the purchase of a set of these invitations. The picture does not do this card justice and as you can imagine, it is very labor intensive layering all the pieces with them being one color but the paper is ivory pearl paper and it is so elegant for weddings. I had the beautiful fairy tale stamp set so incorporated the gold but could also do silver.

June is for Brides

Here is another bride project. This one was Kelley's idea actually so we created it together.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog giveaway

This is a NEW blog find for me today and since I am so NEW (only one week OLD) to the blogging community, I entered one of my OLDer but favorite scrapbook page creations from my very first cricut cartridge Everyday Paperdolls, designed for a brand NEW bride and the daughter of my OLDest and dearest friend.

Summer fun popsicle cards

This is one of the cards we will be making at my workshop on June 19th. Aren't they cute and bright and summery? We are actually making them as birthday cards, not invitations. The inside sentiment says wishing you the sweetest day ever!

Father's Day grillin gift box

This is the cutest thing ever! I found this on another demontrator's website and I bought the instructions to make the grill from her. I was so surprised how easy it was to make. Her instructions were very easy to follow. Anyway, isn't it just too cute?
The grill lid opens and its the perfect size for a gift card from Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or any other favorite dad store! I used a pattern I bought to make the grill card box but I used a combination of imagination, and my CRICUT George cartridge to make shapes like the hamburgers and the plate, wheels on the back of the grill, etc..
At my workshop on June 19th, I am going to try to have enough made for each of my guests to take home for Father's Day June 20th. Want to join us? Visit my Stampin Up link on the right side and send me a message letting me know you will be there!

Craft Room Organization

So I have been trying to get my craft room completely organized so I can put my hands on everything I have and/or need at any time. I am getting there but I have to share my favorite new organization tool. I saw this in one of the crafting magazines a few months ago and then kind of forgot about it but tonight in Wal-Mart I spend my $8 for this great new addition to my craft room organization! Are you impressed? I think it is wonderful. No more digging through the drawer to find the right punch, I can see them all clearly by shape and go right to the ones I want to use! Only problem: One is not enough so I need a second one but since my craft room has double french doors I can do two with no problems. A simple clear plastic over the door shoe organizer...who knew???

I won blog candy...

So I was participating in the OWH blog hop over the weekend to learn more about Operation Write Home and to get some inspiration to see what types of cards the other ladies are making for this great cause. I am very new to the whole blog thing but blog hopping is where you visit blog after blog, and each one links you to the next so you don't have to go back to a list and pick the next one. It was fun to do but anyway along the way some of the blog ladies had giveaways on their blogs and a giveaway on a blog is called "blog candy" All they really required you to do was leave a comment about their card or creation and of course I left as many as I could. Today I found out I won a blog candy from one of the blogs and this adorable stamp is on its way to me...that simple...I really liked this one a lot so I was very happy. I never win anything (I know everyone says that) but I don't...so I will take it and thank you Brenda!!

This is the blog I won from:
