Activities projects

Hey there crafty friends!

I've been working crazy hours the past few weeks so the only crafting I've gotten in are the projects I've been doing with my residents!  Thought I would share some of them with you!!

These little butterflies we made for table decorations.  We put each residents name on the right wing but I have blurred them out.  We used a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Valentine Signs on the left wing!

Yesterday was National Peppermint Patty Day!  I love doing little things for all of these "National" holidays.  There are usually at least one or two for every day of the year!!.  We used a tag from Jaded Blossom's Mini Tag dies and the sentiment is from The Perfect Match.

Finally, these will be the Valentine's we give out on Valentine's Day!  the Frog and Tag are from Nitwit collections and the sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Funny Valentine.

Hope you've enjoyed seeing our fun little projects!!!

Until next time....Have a wonderful day!

Happy National Hug Day!

Hey there crafty friends!!!

Today is National Hug Day!

A couple of residents helped me make little treats for the other residents. I made a little bear basket to hold some "hugs" for the nursing staff and I also sent out one to the front desk!!

The first little treat was made using the Nitwits collection Bear Necessities collection, Jaded Blossom's Scallop Circle Dies, Mini Tag dies and the sentiment is from Halloween Signs.

The cute Belly Bear Box is from MyScrapChick.  I used the sign from Jaded Blossom's Fall Dies, Flag Dies.  The sentiment again from Halloween Signs. 

Nitwit challenge

Hey there crafty friends!!

My favorite digital designers, Nitwit Collections, has a new challenge every week.  They alternate between cards and scrapbook pages.  I'm challenging myself this year to try and participate is as many as possible!  This past weeks challenge was to create a card for a friend!  Here was my entry!

I used the Nitwit Collections From the sea kit.  Of course I also used some of my Jaded Blossom goodies, Stitched circle dies, Scallop Circle Dies and Best Friends stamp set.  Now the best part about the files from Nitwits is that they aren't just for digital scrapbooking.  All their papers print out and look like the best store bought paper and their PNG files can be made into print and cut files on the Silhouette Cameo.  I'm going to try and create a tutorial on just how to do that soon!  Be on the lookout!

Thanks for stopping by!

Working my crafting into work!!!

Hello there crafty friends!

Well...I didn't win the Powerball so I continue to work my 2 jobs!!!

Since my job in the evening takes away much of the time I have for crafting I decided to just work my crafting into my job!  I do a lot of crafts with my residents and one of these days I will remember to take pictures of the things we make.  This week I redid a bulletin board that needed a facelift.  This one happens to be in the dining area...so it has to incorporate a lot of things on it.  I feel it looks a little busy, but the residents seem to like it and I had fun putting it together!!  

The 10 Things I like about snow if from Treasure Box designs.  I embellished it a little with some Jaded Blossom Products:  Number Candies and Winter Dies.  All the cute snowman, birdies and trees came from various files from Nitwit Collections.   I added a few sentiments on the snowmen from Winter Wishes!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Thanks a latte!

Happy 2016 my crafty friends!

2016! Can you believe it?  I feel like 2015 was just a blur and I'm really hoping to be crafting a lot more in 2016!  

My first creation of the year is a simple thank you card for one of my boss's that gave me a Starbucks gift card for Christmas!  I haven't even had time to use it all yet!  Hoping to get in a few more of those Peppermint Mocha Frappuccinos while they still have them!  I know they are choc full of sugar which I'm trying to avoid..but I can't help myself.  They are really yummy!!

The papers and the image are all from Nitwit Collections Coffee Talk files.!  The Png's that come with these kits are perfect for print and cuts on your Silhouette cameo!!! You have to check out are their files!  They are the cutest!!!

I also used several of my Jaded Blossom goodies on this card and envelope. The brown mat was cut from the new Stitched Square Dies, the Flag die is from  Mini Tag Dies 2 .  The sentiments and coffee girl are from Kind Thanks and Java Time. The envelope was a file from the Silhouette store.  I'm entering this card into the Jaded Blossom Monthly challenge!  Wish me luck!

Thanks for stopping by and here's to a wonderful new year!!

SVG cutting files challenge

Happy Christmas Eve my crafty friends!!

Popping in real quick to share $$ envelope I made for a Christmas gift.

I used the SVG cutting files Elf Money Holder file and finished it off with some Jaded Blossom goodies.  I used sentiments from Merry and Bright and Christmas Wishes.  I also used the new Stitched Oval Dies.  I'm thinking I'm going to be using these quite a bit!!!

I'm going to enter this into the SVG cutting files monthly challenge.  The theme is Christmas treats....and even though whats inside isn't edible...I think its a pretty neat treat!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Ticket Booklet

Hey there crafty friends!

I can't believe we are just days away from Christmas!!!

My sister had asked me to make her some kind of coupons for a gift idea she had for her secret santa recipient.  She asked me to do this back before Thanksgiving and I was like sure no problem...plenty of time. RIGHT!!  Where the heck did this month go??  Needless to say I put this little project together in a hurry.  I would have loved to have added a little more pizzazz to it.  But this will have to do.  The persons whose name she picked loves those little butterscotches..or haystacks.  The cookies made with the chinese noodles and butterscotch..anyhoo...She wanted little coupons she could give her to redeem for a batch for each of the next 12 months.  Well now...I didn't have the Jaded Blossom Ticket Book Die...but this gave me the perfect opportunity to say, Hey!!  I really need this now :).  Not that I've ever really needed an excuse before!!  

So here you have it!  This was the top cover:

and here are the rest of the tickets!

Aside from the ticket book die, I also used sentiments from Merry and Bright and Baked with Love from my Jaded Blossom collection!

Now, you might be wondering where are these beautiful papers and cutouts came from!!!  They come from my favorite digital scrapbooking company Nitwit Collections!!!  I didn't keep track of all the different files I used...but they are all AWESOME!!!  Their png files are so easy to use as print and cuts on your Silhouette Cameo and the paper prints out beautifully on my epson printer!!!  Since I discovered this I use them all the time!  I work 80+hrs a week right now...so spare time is very rare and these are so quick and easy!!
