Butterfly boomarks!

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day. We had a good one here. The weather was very sunny, hot and humid. Here is a craft we made at the cookout this weekend. My daughter and the other children had so much fun trying to shape the chenille stems into butterflies and it keep them busy for a while :) I hot glued the butterflies to the wooden colored sticks for the children. I didn't want them to get burnt with the hot glue gun. We are going to use them as bookmarks. I bought the pony beads, chenille stems and colored wood craft sticks at the Dollar tree store for 1.00 each.


We made some in red, white and blue. Some in pastel colors. These are so easy to make;0)
Here is a close up of the pastel color butterfly. These are so beautiful and all the children and adults loved making them.
Have a great day all and thanks for stopping in to visit:)

Rock head angel pin!

Happy Memorial Day weekend all. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday. We will be spending a lot of time outside cooking out and having lots of fun. Here is a rock head angel pin I made to give to some of my family and some friends for Memorial day and 4Th Of July. I made them in red, white and blue ribbon. This is something I just put together. I used natural Raffia for angel wings, 1 1/2 inch wire edged ribbon for dress, 1/4 inch ribbon to tie around neck, crafter rocks for head, permanent markers to make face and a hot glue to glue it all together. I used a lot of hot glue to keep it together:) She is so cute. Don't you think so?


I hot glued a pin on back. Now it can be worn on a shirt.


Thanks for stopping by everyone :)

Home Sweet Home plaque!

Hello all! I hope you are enjoying your day. I entered a challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog a couple of weeks ago and I won April Showers Cricut Cartridge. I received the cartridge on Saturday and here is a project I made with the April Showers Cart. The wood is a 5 by 7 inch and I bought it at Walmart in crafts area for 1.00. I sanded the wood with sand paper and I used Plaid Mod Podge Gloss _Lustre the water sealer, glue and finisher and painted it over the wood and used it to glued the die cut to wood. I painted Modge Podge over the whole project to give it a shine and to water seal the paper cuts. This technique is called decoupage. I used permanent markers to write Home Sweet Home and to make a face on the cloud;) I added some i rock gems in corners. I used the Gypsy for this project.


This is for this Challenge
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge to use a cloud and color blue.

Have a great day all and thank you for stopping by:)
