Our challenge this week was to use the colors Aqua,

Lime Green & Brown. I was in the mood for a

Popsicle and we didn't have any left. So, I decided

to make my own. I used the Cricut cart Doodlecharms

and cut the Popsicle at 6 inches. The Embossing was

done with the Cuttlebug. The folders I choose to

use were dots and wood grain. I love how the wood

grain embossing makes the Popsicle sticks look real.

I chalked the dots with white to make them pop and

added Aqua stickles. The tag was cut from Tags, Bags,

Boxes & More at 2 inches.

Thank you for looking!! Now I challenge you to go make

your own Popsicle and post it to your blog. Anyone up for

the challenge??

The Yummy stamp is a dollar Studio G stamp from

this summers collection. I thought the flower gave

the Popsicle a grown up summer feeling.

Here is my Big 10 year old!! She was so

happy to get her dream book.

Our Challenge this week was to use the word DREAM.

I decided to make Emily a Dream book for her 10th birthday.

She has the best dreams and they always amaze me.

I used a compation notebook for this project. The

words were cut out using the Hello Kitty cart. Clouds

and shooting stars were cut from Everyday Paper Dolls.

And I found the moon on the New Arrival cart.

The clouds were ran through the cuttlebug

using the swirl folder, inked and then painted

with clear stickles glitter. I sanded the edges

to soften them up. I thought the ribbon added

a girly feeling along with the extra bling. I hope

she loves it. Because I know I enjoyed making it!

Our challenge this week was to use the colors Hot pink,

Lime Green & Black. I used Mini Monograms for the

scalloped square and circle. The Strawberry is cut from

the Indie Art Cart. I added bling to bring out the seed

spots. The lime green was embossed with the cuttlebug

using the circle folder.

I know I am a week late posting my project.

But, once again life just took over and time flew

by way to fast. So, here it is. I hope you like it.

Our challenge this week was to use something

clear on our project.

I made the pins with the post you use to make

jewelry. I put a drop of super glue on each

end so they wouldn't slide off. I attached them

so they could be removed and used on another

project if the receiver chooses to do so.

Our challenge this week was to think spring. We were to

include flowers in our project. I decided to enter

two projects this week. The first one is a gift card

holder made with TP rolls. All the cuts for this

project were from Walk in My Garden.

To make the TP roll gift card holder you flatten out 2 TP

rolls. I found out the easiest way to do this is to get

them slightly wet. Then place a phone book on top of

them for a couple days until they are dry. After they are

dried measure the length and width of the TP roll and

add 3/4 inches. This will be the over lap for the back

and the paper that you tuck inside the roll.

Take the paper with glue on it and wrap the TP roll

around it. Then tuck the sides in.

To make the holes on the side I used my crop a dile. And

binder rings to bring it all together. I had to add lots of

ribbon to make it feel like spring.

For the cards inside the tubes measure the width and

length and make slightly smaller so they don't fall out easily.

I then added lots of spring cuts from WIMG.

These are the perfect size for any gift card. I added

a Starbucks gift card to the last page.

For my second project I used the flower pots made with

more flower cuts from WIMG. I cut out 3 different flowers

in 3 different sizes and 6 different colors.

After I stacked and glued the flowers I crimped, curled

and folded the flowers to give them more depth and texture.

Once again I used my Crop a dile to make the holes in the

center of the flowers for the suckers to go through them.

The butterfly was cut out once and then again with the

flip button on. They are stacked together with a jumbo

paper clip in the middle. They can now be used as a book

mark. The name tags were also made with WIMG.

To put it all together I added styrofoam to the inside of

the clay pot. To hide the styrofoam I shredded green tissue

paper and then just added the flowers until they looked full.

I made 80 of these for my daughter's class.

They both said they were a big hit.

I used Designer's Calendar for the shamrock

and pixi sticks for the stem. Of course what

child doesn't love pixi sticks.
