It's Football Season!

 Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

🏓 SPORTS ⚽

Let's see some Cricut Sports inspired projects!

*Your project must include a cut made with your Cricut machine on it somewhere*

Here is a look at the project that I created to share with you today:

I'm not much of a football fan but my hubby sure is so I thought it would be fun to make him a little box filled with some snacks to eat while he watches a game.

I started by cutting a popcorn box from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More from some green cardstock and inked along all the edges before assembling it. I cut a football from the Life's A Party cartridge and popped it up with some foam tape. I added my saying that I found in Design Space above the Football and finished the look with some white and brown Nuvo drops. I added some white crinkle paper and some of his favorite snacks and called it good! So easy peasy but he will love it!! 

Cricut Cuts Used:

**Popcorn Box: Tags, Bags, Boxes and More (#M3BCD4)*

**Football: Life's A Party (#M3AD9D)*

*It's Football Season: Design Space (#MC25716F)*

It's A Party Blog Hop!

Happy Saturday!

Are you guys ready to hop and get some inspiration for some party decor ideas?

If you came here from Sarabeth of Chronicles of Sarita, then you are on the right track.

If you just happened to stumble across the hop today on my blog and would like to start at the beginning, hop on over and see Joy of Joy's Life.

For my project, I decided to do a movie night theme. When my daughter and her friends start coming home from college for the summer, they like to get together and have a slumber party and watch movies and just catch up. There is way more chatter than actually watching the movies but that's ok :) I thought it would be cute to make a few little things for the movie.

First up are the popcorn containers:

I cut my container out of the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge at 6.5". I then doodled along the top scallop and added my ticket on some foam adhesive. The tickets came from the Locker Talk Cricut cartridge and were cut out at 1.5"

I also made some little candy treat bags to go along with the popcorn.

For my candy bags, I put 6 little fun size candy bars into a treat sack and then added a cute little topper.

My sentiment came from the All Around Sentiments set from Joy's Life Stamps.

Here is a picture of everything together:

What's a blog hop without a little candy for you as well?

Trendy Twine Tuesday :)

Hello to all my crafty friends and Happy Valentine's Day! Today is also Trendy Twine Tuesday! Yay! Another Tuesday filled with inspiration using the yummiest twine around, Trendy Twine. Today I will be sharing a project with you that I made with the new yummy Chocolate Cupcake twine from Trendy Twine!



If you are a Kraft card stock lover like I am, this new Chocolate Cupcake twine is a must have! This cute little crayon box can be found on the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cricut cartridge. I cut my box out of Kraft card stock at 6.25". I stamped some hearts with some Chocolate Chip ink and then wrapped that gorgeous twine all around my box. I love how well that pink and brown twine goes with the Kraft card stock. Inside the box are 2 fun size M&M's packets. They fit perfectly. What a cute little Valentine gift this is and I think the twine really helped with the cuteness factor. :)

Cartridge Toss-Up with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More

Happy Thursday! Today I will be showing you what I came up with for my second project in my exploration of Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I decided to make the Triangle box.






I cut out the box at 5" and did some faux stitching all the way around the box and then I assembled it. For my clover, I welded 3 hearts and the letter "J" from George and Basic Shapes together. Super cute! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog to see the awesome project she created!

Cartridge Toss-Up with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More

Happy Monday! I know I normally post the Cartridge Toss-Up on Tuesdays but I have a rather busy blog week this week so I will be posting it today. My very good friend Kimberly from Kimberly's Crafty Spot has agreed to help me out with these projects every week. So, from now on instead of seeing just 2 projects a week from one cartridge, you will get to see 4! 2 from me and 2 from Kimberly. How cool is that? She is super talented so you will not be disappointed.

This week, Kimberly and I are focusing on the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cricut cartridge. I was so happy that I was able to get the free download of this cartridge through the gypsy promotion.

The cut I chose to work with for todays project is purse1.



I loaded the purse onto my gypsy and sized it at 9.25". After it was cut out, I did some faux stiching and assembled it. I then used a flower cut from Graphically Speaking at 2.5" and attached it to the front of the purse with some foam adhesive. I then added a little bow to the handle and a little rhinestone to the center of the flower and Voila! So cute! What a cute little gift to give to someone filled with some candy! I love having little projects like this on hand and at the ready. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog to see what she came up with. :)

'Tis the Season

Please scroll down to the next post for the winner of the blog candy from me for the
Holiday Cards and Gifts Blog Hop.


Happy Monday! I hope you are staying warm where you are as it is sure cold where I am. It is looking like a great crafting day!

Today marks the start of a new challenge over at Paper Therapy. This weeks challenge is to make a project with a snowflake on it. I decided to make little treat purses filled with little Hershey nuggets for my daughter to hand out to her friends this holiday.

I am so happy with how this turned out. I finally got around to using that free download for Gypsy users with the Tags, Bags, Boxes and more to make my little purse. I don't really know the size the purse was cut out at. I just sized it on my gypsy as big as I could get it. The snowflake was cut out with Accent Essentials at 2". I then added some bling, ribbon and a sentiment. I think these will be perfect little gifts for her to give to all her friends. Now,I just need to get busy making more of them. :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and take a look. I really appreciate it. Have a great crafty day!
