Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

I couldn't just ask my bridesmaids to be a bridesmaid, so I had to think of a creative way that is different. I used our wedding colors to create these little boxes with my "important" question inside! I put the little box inside the purses I had made as well to match. Each Bridesmaid got a little purse with the box inside. The purses had the initial of the bridesmaids on the outside!

Its a Boy Diaper Cake

Here is a diaper cake I had made for a women at work to take to her friends baby shower. It included teething rings, a bottle of baby lotion, baby wash and baby massage gel as well as approx. 100 diapers! A diaper cake can cost anywhere between $50-$100 depending on the amount of diapers used and the supplies/decorations you want added to it.

56 Sucks!!!!

My boss just turned 56. She does so much for us by planning get togethers and parties and stuff so I decided I wanted to do somethng different for her! I had seen this birthday bouquet before and thought how cool it would be if I could make this for someone. Well I think 56 turned out really well!!!!

I bought a vase from the dollar store and some stones to help weigh it down so it didnt become top heavy and fall over. I bought 56 suckers from a bunch of different stores and just built it the way I liked! It was alot of fun to make. Everyone thought it was really cool at work, especially because my boss ended up sharing the suckers with everyone!!!

Wedding Shower Cake

Here is my first EVER wedding towel cake!!! I think it turned out really well!!! I was very happy with the way it came out, at first I thought it wasn't going to look good, that it was going to look messy but it looks great!!!

I just used 2 body towels, 2 hand towel and 2 face towels. Take the 2 body towels you roll them into each other and pin them, then do the same for the hand and face towels and just stack

them one on top of the other. I used my Cricut to cut out the lettering and attached them to the ribbon. I embossed the bigger letters on the top with a purple embossing powered. The flowers are just attached with pins as well!!! It was VERY easy to make!!!!

Where Has The Time Gone??

Well I haven't been on my blog in AGES!!!! In fact I really haven't had time to do much scrapbooking or anything creative in a long time. I have gone back to school so that keeps me pretty busy. My sister should be having her baby any day now, I'm so excited about that. I'm also really excited that its almost time to start making Christmas cards again. I'm thinking about the possibility of maybe selling them this year, I'm just not sure how that will work and if it will even be worth it, such as how many people will buy the cards versus how much I'll spend making them. So that's what I've been thinking about these days. I'm hoping to finish all my school work rather soon today, clean up my room then be able to organize my scrapbook stuff and get crafting.

Well that's it for now, hopefully Ill be able to post something crafty soon, *fingers crossed*

Baby Shower!!!

So yesterday we had the surprise baby shower for my sister who is down visiting for a week and a half from Thunder Bay!!! It was awesome. She had no idea and was completely surprised. Ofcourse when she walked in and realized what was happening she started crying haha. It was a great time. Here are a few of the crafts we made for the shower.

These were the cards I had made for the gifts. The first one was the "What will it BEE??" Card. She doesnt want to know what she is having so I figured this card would work really well. I used bees on the outside and embossed the wings of the smaller bees to add some sparkle. On the inside I stamped the "What will it bee" with my clear stamps, and made a border around the inside of the card with "BZZZZZ........" just to add some more colour. I used chip borad letters and embossed them in the black and yellow.

The second card I made very gender equal haha. I divided the card in half so that I was able to make it both boy and girl. I used my cricut to cut out the shapes and again embossed it to add more texture and color and sparkle.

I made party favors and attached a label that was stamped by a "Hugs and Kisses" stamp. Under the stamp we write the saying "From baby Fountain" So the whole party favor said "Hugs and Kisses from Baby Fountain". We also made a "Bucket of Love". We cut out a whole bunch of baby shapes so that people could write loving messages or some advice for the parents to be.

I made a huge calender for the month of September (which was when the baby is due) so that people could make a guess of when the baby was to be born. I cut out little babies from my cricut and also little blue and pink outfits. People were to take a baby, glue the color of the outfit to the baby in which they thought the sex of the baby would be and then stick it to the day they think the baby will be born on. We also made a huge diaper cake made out of actual baby diapers. We stuck a bunch of baby products all around the cake as well.

Over all, this baby shower was a huge hit!!!!

My Recent Cards!

So I haven't updated my blog in what feels like forever!!! I have made some cards in the last few weeks, but have been so busy I havent been able to update here at all.

This is a card I had made for a friend who is pregnant. I used my Cricut to cut out the women and the "Congratulations". I embossed the "Congratualtions" and the shirt and hat to add some sparkle and fun to the card. She knew that she was having a boy so I also used my Cricut to cut out the little boy. I used the Cricut markers to trace out the little boy and to add hs facial features.

These cards were made for mothers day! I stamped out the images of the butterfly and the flowers and then used some chalk to colour them in. I also embossed the edges with clear embossing powder.

Paper Bag Scrapbook

Hey Guys!!

So here it is.. The Paper Bag Scrapbook. It is exactly what it sounds like... it is made from brown paper lunch bags. Its really simple to make as well. I saw a demo of it done on one of my favourite blogs, so I decided to give it a try myself. Once I gathered all the supplies I needed to decorate it, the creating process took about 2 hours!!! Thats a very short amount of time to make a mini scrapbook!!! It usually takes me that long just to do one page.

I used jumbo brads to hold the bags together. You can use anything you want to hold the bags together like rings or eyelets. I only had the jumbo brads so that why I used them. Its really neat because every other page has a pocket on the side so you can stick little notes or pictures or anything you want in them. I decided to put mini cards I made inside the pockets.

You can use as many or as few bags as you choose. I used only 2 bags to start which worked out perfectly. I'm

really happy with how this Paper Bag Scrapbook turned out!!

Stamping Class

So I went to my first Stamping Class EVER!!! It was great!! I got so many ideas, and got to try a bunch of new things!! The one and ONLY problem I had with the class is that now I want to buy a whole bunch of new things hahahah. However now I feel like I want to go shopping for supplies and then just spend the rest of the day crafting!!! It got my creative juices flowing!!!

We stamped with the SOCK MONKEY stamp set, and we got to dress him up for Easter!!! How Cute!!! Considering I love everything and anything Monkey related, this was the class for me!!!

We got to paint the stamps with marker ink and then coloured

in the monkey with chalk!! I tried chalk before, but

could not seem to get it to work, but this chalk set was

amazing!!! So Im going to try mine again, however I still want the "Stampin Up" chalk set as well as their stamp markers!!!!

Making this window and then trying to get it so that just the ears showed was a little tricky, but the result was great!!!

Isnt the Easter Monkey just SOOO CUTE!! LOL Apparently you can buy stamps to go along with it so that you can dress him up for ever occasion!!! Ugh sooo want it!!!!

We also made this cute little card, kinda like the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil concept!!!

I had such a great time. I really want to go to another class. Hopefully Ill be able to go to a few this summer!!!!
