Which was first, the Chicken or the Egg?

Which was first, the Chicken or the Egg?    The Egg?

Always was my answer with the infamous question!  Mind you, I always back my answer with a.... do I really care? "

I do know however, this Chicken was so fun to make and even though a little high-priced to me, well worth it when finished. File can be purchased at: http://www.sunshine-hobby-works.at/49219/huhn-ei

For the record, there are no directions included but easy to piece it together correctly.  Just stare down the picture! 

 

This Chicken Egg is about 5-6 inches tall and very sturdy when finished.  I am setting my Chicken on my kitchen window and putting fresh potpourri inside.

                                                          Garden Party Box by Svgcuts

  Mother's Day in 16 days and as usual, I am running behind.  Lucky for me, Svgcuts.com just released a few days ago, "Garden Party Box Cards."  The birdhouse folds into an envelope so nicely and anyone you send this to, will love it.   Again, the hardest part was choosing which paper to use for the project.  I am using Graphic 45.   Below is the side and back of card.

Also in this set, is the Adirondack chair.  It also folds into envelope for mailing.  So cute and finished within minutes,

Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by my Blog.  Checkout my storefront on Etsy!

Firemen and Police Gift Boxes and Thank-You Cards

                                  Perfect projects for a not so perfect week!

The weather last week was picture perfect Florida sunshine for Easter and Spring breaks from schools.  We were in the high 80's many days and no rain.  Then it happened, a 350 +acre fire practically in my daughters back yard!!   5 long days it took to stop this fire and without any injuries.  Below are a few pictures of the fire taken by my daughter.

                                                                            

The fire came as close as 20 ft to her neighbors house and pictures above are the front of the path.  You are probably wondering where I am going with this & scrap-booking?   Momentum!!  My daughter Fonda and her family were safe.  Their home a little odor of smoke but no damage.  And......  drum roll please,,,,  3d Dreaming Tree came out with a new kit Easter weekend called, " First Responders SVG Bundle !"  I haven't made the nurse kit yet, but this bundle is one of my favorites now.   My daughter is going to fill the gift boxes with treats of some sort and deliver to the hard-working Firemen & Police.   Kit level was easy-medium and you will love the outcome. 

                               Thank you for stopping by my blog and have a great week.

Umbrella Bag file by SVGCUTS

Time to get those Easter crafts started!  I loved making the newly released Umbrella Bag by svgcuts.  Very quick and easy to make.  The back of the design is a straight half of the umbrella, which is great to use as a centerpiece.  This keeps it from rolling over etc.  

Looking at the basket/bag above, the white oval is where you can write/stamp a personal message.  I used 3  12x12 papers and each bag took around 20 minutes.  The hardest thing for me, is choosing which paper to use.

TIP:   Save your scraps of papers!  I put mine in a plastic container marked Spring/Easter and next year, hopefully will use them.

Happy Fall by Scrapcuts by Judy

Happy Fall by Scrapcuts by Judy 

  I love scrap-booking and crafts during Fall months!  Living in Central Florida, having mid/high 90's for months, I am ready for Fall!  Also time to replenish my stack of scrapping supplies and throw away some.  

 I have quite a few new files on my Etsy store, check it out!  Many new Halloween files.  

Both projects are from Svgcuts'  Harvest Sunset Collection.  

This card was so much fun to make and I love the results!  Card when finished is large enough to  look great on a table.  Or brighten someones day and mail it to them.  I used American Craft paper/cardstock. 

Svgcuts wagon/cart is perfect for gift giving during the holidays!  I put hot chocolate pods in my cart and will take it to a friend for Thanksgiving.  Perfect for your kitchen area or a gift. 

I hope everyone has a great week and thank-you for stopping by my Blog!

Summer Nights T-Lite Holder

        This project is:   Summer Nights T-Lite holder  just released by Dreaming Tree.  

Summer Nights and Flights SVG Bundle is the name of the kit.  This kits screams tropical and colors and just what I needed to work with.  I love color!   Below is a picture of my t-lite holder lit up.  

Makes you want a bowl of sherbet or a Mia-Tia cocktail doesn't it?  It holds 4 t-lites and great to put in your home for accent.   The FREEBIE is a 1 lite holder and adorable.

The paper used was Graphic 45 Artisan Style Collection.  I also used American Crafts card-stock from the Tropical pack and raspberry vellum I had in my pile of oldies!

Shadowbox Fun

Happy Spring and Happy Easter!

  After seeing this cute as can be new release from svgcuts, I was ready to do a few vinyl projects.  Luck was on my side as Michael's had their shadowboxes 50% off!  Shadowboxes make great gifts for others and for your own home.  Either of the above projects were under $10 to make.

  The grow box is a 8" by 10" and the coffee one is 5" by 7".  Neither project requires much vinyl and I used scraps I had to make mine.  The coffee mug is also from Svgcuts.com and very easy to make IF you watch the video one time. :)   The title for the coffee/mascara file is from Silhouette online store.

Thank you for stopping by my Blog and I hope you will checkout my online store.

Fan shaped Valentine 3D Box

                        Fan shaped valentine box design by  Dreaming Tree.  

                       Welcome to our World, Baby Liam ! !

 Congratulations to proud parents Samantha & Samuel on the birth of your beautiful & healthy son.  Liam decided he didn't want to be a Christmas Baby, nor New's Baby and chose his own birth-date.   Liam is my Great - Grandson and a little Angel. 

As you can see in the first picture on this page, I made a newly released design by Dreaming Tree- Valentine's Day box. I was quite impressed how well the pieces went together and the sturdiness of the finished project.  So I made another one but wanted it to be a memory box. 

The paper used is Graphic 45 Precious Memories Collection.   The finished box is about 11 inches in height.  Very nice size to store things into.  The box is perfect to keep your private things  and thoughts tucked away instead openly in a book.  My Grand Daughter seemed very pleased with it.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Have a great week.

Boho Butterflies Bag and Vase

Above are 2 pictures of the 5 items in the svgcuts kit.  Boho Butterflies.  What fun it was making these!  Either project would make a nice gift for someone. 

The above gift bag was very easy to assemble.  Large enough to use as a catch-all on your desk.  Since I used solid paper for my butterfly; I shaded my project with my Copic markers.  The butterfly design is delicate but no problem cutting using my Silver Bullet machine. 

I enlarged the vase pattern so my completed vase is 6" by 9" and I love it!  A quick and easy project to make.  I used Bazzill Card Shoppe 100# paper, which I purchased from Star Lit Studio .  Check this online store out!  They give 5 star service, carry htf items and super-fast shipping!  I believe my total cost in making this vase was under $2.  I added some decorator stones and a t-lite.  

I am thrilled a new 3D svg design business is open online!  DREAMING TREE  and do they have some great designs!  Check them out and get your free design.  

Today I am finishing my Halloween treat bags and cards.  Will post soon.  Happy Fall and thank you for stopping by my Blog.
