This is the first time I have used this stamp, Its a card is for KK's Teacher,  She will give it to her today!

KK is  excited and proud to show her teacher what her Mom does. Its been a long rough year (for Me).   I havent been able to participate in the class rooms as I usually do, so she feels as if  its a kind of unveiling of Mom LOL!  I think its adorable!

Blue Jean and pearl Rosette Magnets for My DT project for the Scrappin Chics Challenge blog

DT project at ScrappnChics

Upcycled Canvas, blue jean, and pearls...all the good things in crafting!

I had a friend ask my opinion...I repeat, MY opinion, on gloobers, and knowing what is said about opinions...heres mine, feel free to scroll down if you dont want to hear it, I dont mind a bit : )

We all know that my approach to crafting, is that I try to "make not buy"  i.e. My Money Savers here on my blog.

So Im sure if you are a close follower this will look familiar and you will probably smile when you see it~

***money saver alert***

Plastic packaging cut in a circle and ran through my Xyron 

Hot Glue gun for edges and small clean up and glitch repair : )  Also adding the magnet

Trinkets buttons and pearls for centers

What used to be a jean skirt, and some canvas fabric from Hobby Lobby


I hope you try it, and you can always run the plastic through twice to make it even more sticky if needed! 


Thanks for stopping by today and following my crafting adventures!

Kaylee had a blast creating her quiet space, She is one of those children who needs a little quiet time to herself and was blessed however, with an older and younger sister.  Being the middle child, she was in need of some Mommy alone time...

Stacking her Prima flowes how she needs them

Im attaching the ribbon around the Bunk bed bars, and Prima flowers to the ribbon with eyelets

Surely we needed her help

Cut the chandelier from silver vinyl, Cricut deco cartridge, Used our pompoms from Alainah and Autumn's bday party, attached to bar with wire

Made hooks from wire to hang the rhinestones and jewels from the top bunk bars

Pink and green pillows from Dollar Tree last year, No sew Glue and Felt ribbon and trimmings, I didnt put too many ribbons so she wont be scared at night and can see better LOL

Not much room to take the pictures, I was actually standing on her dresser to get far enough to take this pic LOL!  She had so much fun, and ooh and aughed the entire time!  She had no idea just a couple jewels, wire ribbon, eyelets, and flowers could do that!

Jen's Mother's Day Blog Hop

***WINNER***WINNER***WINNER***

The winner of My blog candy~

Kathy who said~

Beautiful card and gift! My mother has given me lots of "advice" over the years, and is great about being there to listen and not be too pushy with her opinions. She always tells me to be sure to take care of myself so that I'll be there to take care of my kids. This is something that I often forget to do.
Thanks for sharing!

If you got here from Debbie, your right on track, If you just dropped in, start at  Jen's or your going to miss out on some beautiful inspiring projects!  We would not want that to happen now would we?

Blog candy Question:  What is the best advise you have been given from your Mother or person of equal stature in your lifetime?
Cut down your butterfly paper to as close to the shape and size of your card as possible without going over.
Cut contact paper to close to the size and sit your butterfly lace paper on it covering pearly side w the sticky side. press down to make flush all over, add it to your card before scoring.
use your bone folder to press it all down firmly.  Use your  paper trimmer to clean up the edges. The contact paper will not stick through the holes if it bothers you (it did me)  you are going to have to go over them all with your bone folder, like using a Xyron.  I attached my ribbon used my glue pin on the letters,and added the glitter, pop dotted them and added the rest of the embellishments!

So today I gave My Mother, this card and candle set along with the kitchen min ialbum. She almost cried!  Im so glad she loved them!
