Here's what I've been up to so far this summer. I've been crafting quite a bit and selling my crafts at my local farmer's market on Saturdays. My family and I took a trip and spent a week at a beautiful cabin on a lake. It was wonderful. My youngest son has been staying busy with Summer Junior Golf Lessons, hanging out with friends and going to the library.

I decided to make him a messenger style bag out of duct tape to carry his books in to and from the library. He loves anything in camouflage so I found some camo duct tape and some black duct tape and made him a bag.

Thanks for joining us today and we hope you enjoyed our projects.

For my project today, I took a cleaned out two liter pop bottle, removed the label, and cut a a little door in the area that I decided will be the back of the bottle. I cut the little door where the label was stuck to the bottle and I couldn't get all of the label off in that spot.

I then took some pretty pink napkins and crumpled a few of them up and stuffed them in the bottom of the bottle just to raise up the items a bit that I was putting in the bottle. I then put my items in the bottle through the little door. I added some Crystal Light water flavor packets and bags of candy to the inside of the bottle.

I then put some scotch tape over one part of the door just to hold it closed. I used all Bazzill paper in different colors. I used my Cricut with the Birthday Bash Cartridge to cut out the birthday cake and candle.

I also used stickles on the birthday cake, candle and confetti and the stamp is from My Pink Stamper's new Birthday Doodles stamp set. I also added a bow to the top around the cap. I made this gift for a very special lady in my life and I hope she will like it. I hope you all like my project also. Here's a close up:

I know I just did a t-shirt project for the last blog hop, but I came across this idea on Pinterest (which I just love by the way) where you use crayons to color a design on sandpaper and then turn the sandpaper over onto the shirt and run the iron over it. It turns out really cool! I decided to get a pack of metallic crayons which made the design come out shimmery on the t-shirt.

This is the picture my son drew on the sandpaper. There are some cars, a trailer, a volcano on the left, and in the middle is lightning coming from some clouds and hitting some water on the ground. He did a great job. :)

My son ironing over the sandpaper.

Here is how his design showed up on the t-shirt. With his design, it didn't really matter, but you do have to remember that the design will be reversed on the t-shirt so any words would have to be written in reverse.

Here are a couple of close ups of the design on his shirt.

After ironing on the design, you put some paper towels over the design and run the iron over it again and then you throw the shirt in your dryer for about 20 minutes to set the design. They also recommend washing the shirt by itself for the first time.

And below is a picture of the super happy boy wearing his newly designed shirt.

So, for this blog hop, I had originally planned on making a wreath, but I couldn't find a styrofoam wreath shape to start with in my town so I will have to pick one up next time I get to a JoAnn's or Michaels and I will still try to make one and post it later. Anyway, I had to come up with a different project. I decided to make a shirt for my 11 year old son to wear to school on St. Patrick's Day.

My husband has Irish background in his family so my kids love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and make kind of a big deal out of it. I realized that I don't have a cricut cartridge with a shamrock on it so I printed one out from the internet and used it as a pattern to cut the shamrock out of my iron-on fabric. I then colored the shamrock with markers. I also typed out the word "Lucky" in a paint program, printed it out on paper and used the paper letters as a pattern to cut out the letters from the iron on fabric. I also colored the letters black.

I then ironed it onto the t-shirt I bought for my son. Here are the pictures I took.

After I finished it, he told me he wanted me to add "I'm Irish" to it. I guess we'll see if I can get that added to the bottom before he wears it to school. :)

Here is a close-up of the t-shirt......

I hope you like my project. :)

The prize for this blog hop is a $15 gift voucher to papercraftingworld.com.

Now head back over to Jenny's blog at http://crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/ and at least leave a comment, but we'd also love to see you all come up with a project to link up also.

Here's my project I made for this hop. I made treat boxes for Valentine's Day. I made them the same way and then just decorated them in different ways. Here's how you make them:

I took an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of cardstock and scored it at 2", 5", 7" and 10" on the 11 inch side and at 1.25" and 7.25" on the 8.5 inch side. I then folded on all the score lines using my bone folder. See picture below.

I then cut off the whole top except for the one flap you see in the picture. For the bottom, I cut off the little tab on the lower right corner and cut slits along all the score lines at the bottom. See picture below.

For decorations on my white box, I stamped using My Pink Stamper's From The Heart stamp set. See picture below

I then added red tape along the small tab on the left side and one of the outer bottom flaps. See picture below.

I then closed up the box and pushed in the sides of the box a bit to get it to form the treat box shape. See picture below.

I punched the holes for the ribbon using my Crop-a-dile. I then filled the box with candy and added the ribbon to close up the box. See below picture.

Here is my treat box all closed up......

Then I made my second box and covered it with some fun patterned paper on all four sides. I used Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge to cut out the heart and I used My Pink Stamper's Happiest Moments stamp set to stamp on the heart. I exchanged the ribbon this time for some My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Twine to close up the box with.

I hope you like my project. :)

The prize for this blog hop is the Space Party Cricut Cartridge.

All you have to do to be entered in the drawing for this cartridge is leave a comment on Jenny's blog at http://crazyaboutcricut.blogger.com/. Everyone who links up a project will get two additional entries for a total of three entries if you also leave a comment!

Now head back over to Jenny's blog at http://crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/ and at least leave a comment, but we'd also love to see you all come up with a project to link up also.

Thankful Thursday Fall/Halloween Blog Hop!

Hi Everybody!
Welcome to The Fall/Halloween Blog Hop featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team! Hopefully you just came from the talented Jen over at http://mccalleyhouse.blogspot.com/. If not, please head on over to see our hop hostess Jenny at http://crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/ so you can start from the beginning :)

The grand prize for this hop is the beautiful Celebrate With Flourish cartridge. To enter you need to leave a comment on ALL the blogs in this hop.

Now, on to my project. I found this idea on the Martha Stewart website. I thought they were cute Halloween decorations. I decided to make a cat and a pumpkin.

Step #1 ~ Accordian fold an 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper in 1/2 or 3/4 inch folds. I used my Martha Stewart score board to make equal scores at 1/2 inch for the pumpkin and 3/4 inch for the cat.

Step #2 ~ I used my bone folder to make my folds sharp and to bend my folded paper in half to form a fan.

Step #3 ~ You will do this folding to two pieces of paper, but then I did mine a little bit different than the directions on the website. I put the two pieces together by tying them with thread through the center and using Red Line Craft tape to form a circle. See below.

Step #4 ~ Then I just used scraps of paper to cut out the facial features for each decoration. Here is the finished pumpkin.

And here is the finished cat.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my project today. Thank you for joining us! Now head on over to see what the talented Gaby at http://www.gabycreates.com/ has created for you today!

All American Blog Hop

Hi Everybody!

Hopefully you just came from visiting Jen at http://www.mccalleyhouse.blogspot.com/. If not, please head over to see Jenny at http://www.crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com to start from the beginning.

Thank you for joining us for the All American Blog hop! We are sharing projects that celebrate anything American! So anything like BBQ's, family picnics, 4th of July, or more. Here's the project I made to share with you today.

I made a mini Fourth of July windsock. I used two different kinds of patterned paper from The Paper Studio All Seasons Paper Pack, red streamers, white streamers, blue streamers, yarn and some Stickles. I used the Stickles on the white fireworks on the blue paper, but it's kind of hard to tell in the picture. I used the yarn to hang it up with. My son has decided he wants it in his room. I guess he likes it. :)
