Softball Mini Album and Video

Yay!!!! It is Friday and It is my birthday....

My husband surprised me this afternoon with a beautiful bouquet of Flowers for my birthday and told me that is only the beginning... can't wait to see what else he has planned for this weekend...

I thought I would get this weekend started with my first video for you all....
I made this adorable Softball Mini Album for my two younger daughter's coach...



I got to finally really get to sit down and create with Cricut Explore... I had so much fun playing with Design Space and Creating this Mini Album...
I am going to do a video on the tags that I used for this Mini Album shortly to show how I created them..
I wanted something different for the tags and this are perfect ...

I hope you enjoy this video and remember to become a follower on my blog and you tube channel so you will see all the new and exciting videos coming....

Apron Box with Tag Album

Happy Memorial Day! 
 Hope everyone is having a great and safe holiday weekend. 

We are not doing much here this weekend... Our youngest daughter was in our local parade with her girl scout troop yesterday.... 
She was so proud to be apart of this wonderful holiday and loved walking with her troop...

 She is a second year Brownie and will be bridging up in a couple of weeks... 
She is growing up so fast... 


Today I am sharing this adorable Apron Box with a Tag Mini Album.


I got this idea from My Sister Scrapper. She has shown two different ways of making these and I fell in love with them and couldn't pass up trying to make one and adding my own spin on it.. 
I used my Cricut Explore and Lori Whitlock Apron Box Design to create this adorable project. .

Paper is from Echo Park "Homemade with Love" 







Tags I cut out of chip board as well and then cut the pattern cardstock to cover each one.. 
I used the stickers that came with the paper kit to add embellishments to the pages... 
This was a fun and quick little project.. 
Now I have a wonderful way to display pictures of when my daughters are helping me cook or bake ... 

I hope you enjoyed my little project and come back again soon to see more fun projects and tutorials... 

Have a Wonderful and Safe Memorial Day...

Happy Crafting...

Welcome to My New Blog

Welcome to My New Blog!

I had some issues with my old one and they recommended that I just begin a new one... 
So here we are!
Here is to a fresh start and new beginnings... 

I will be slowly adding new pages and links...
It is going to take me a little time but it will be well worth it in the end... 

I have a new projects, videos and tutorials coming soon! 
The new camera for the videos is all set up and ready to go, with new lighting and etc.
I have been working on a list of videos and projects for everyone... I am very excited about this new adventure and fresh beginnings after these past few months... 

As some may know my son was very ill and had 7 surgeries in March and was in a coma for several days ... and he quite the recovery these past couple of months... 
He is doing better and just returned to work this week.... 
He still has some healing to do but he is slowly getting there and taking one day at a time... 

This past weekend we had his Benefit for him... 
He was so happy to see everyone... He never imaged how many of his friends and family were really there for him until he got to see everyone come out and celebrate him. 

It was a great day and the weather was beautiful for his event... 

My daughter in law and I made the center pieces and I really loved how they turned out... 



The mug is from SVG Cuts "Feeling Lucky Kit"... the stars and flag is from Cricut. 
I used the Cricut Explore to make the mugs... 
We filled each mug with peppermint candies... 

We also made these little candy holders to put on the tables too

I used the Cameo to make these... the design is available in the design store and I actually took two different designs to make these...

I hope you all come back often and see all the new projects coming soon...
