"Drinks" by the Pool

  

     Well hey howdy ho there!  I have the great duty of being the featured designer for CRAFTWORKCards CANDi today.  The weather is finally warming up and I, for one, couldn't be more thrilled.  My kids have decided they want to have an end of school "Pool Party".  This means I have (more) projects to do! LOL. I have started the invites believe it or not.  I want to do "Nameplates" for the items I put out on the tables.  What better to use as embellishments than CANDi!?!  I chose to work with the Polka Dots--"Berry Bliss" CANDi, seen here:

     And here is the nameplate for the "Drinks":

     The CANDi matches the fun paper straws perfectly.  The bright colors in the "Splash" paper line (by echo park) are perfect.  I'm going to make nameplates for the pizza, dessert, towels, water balloons etc;  I don't know why I always go overboard for parties.  My friends all tease me and I know the kids could care less.  I just have to do it!
     I hope you all enjoyed my project today.

Pool Party Wobble

      Happy Monday Morning :)   I'm thrilled to be the Featured Designer for Action Wobbles today. Well the warm weather has finally arrived Wahoo!  My boys have decided they want to have an end of school pool party at my house.  I decided if I want to be prepared, I better get shakin' on the invites!!!  (Holy Crap--School is out in less that 3 weeks--What?!?)  That being said, here is the first invite...

I placed and Action Wobble under the sun and the "pool party" here is one in action (I wasn't coordinated enough to get both wobbles going and take a pic LOL)...

I really hope you have enjoyed this project today.  I haven't decided if all of the invites will be identical or not.  I'm sure you will know as soon as I decide LOL!

CANDi Tag!!!

     Hello and good day fellow crafters!  I just have to say how much I L-O-V-E CANDi.  It comes in sooooo many colors (to match any project) and is always the perfect finishing touch!  Today I used CRAFTWORKCards CANDi in three different colors seen here:

Flower Power-Juliette

Polka Dots-Raspberry Truffle

Gingham-Aurora

     For my project, I made this decorative "tag" to hang in my daughters room.

 

I love the way it turned out!  I am debating doing her whole name now.  

I hope you enjoyed this creation.

Hey there!  I'm so glad I am the Featured Designer for Action Wobbles and I get to share another fun wobble project with you today. It is my cute sis-in-law's birthday today so I made a gift bag for her.

     I just love turquoise. When I found this flower I was so excited it was just the right size for a wobble! A little washi tape, birthday rub-on and wah-lah! Sometimes I love my quick and simple projects just as much as the ones that take me hours!

"Gnarly Dude" Heartstrings Designs Wow Wednesday

Wow Wednesday #4 with "Gnarly Dude"

Hey crafters!  Scrap Dr. Midge here to show a couple of prescriptions you can fill with your Heartstring Designs April "Gnarly Dude" HouseCalls Kit.  Now if you have not subscribed to the monthly dose of crafty goodness.  I highly recommend it.  You can do so here.  Today, I have 2 projects to show you.  

Here is the first one:

These over sized paperclips are so fun.  I use them as book marks.  I also glue magnets on the back.  They are just so handy for tons of things.  I just cut circles from the fun papers in the kit, adhered them to the clips and put a coat of glossy accent over the top.  Wah Lah...Now if this doesn't cure what ails ya, try this next remedy...

I find a good layout usually does the trick :)  The colors and patterns are just so great to work with.  I can't get enough turquoise!  I hope you have enjoyed the projects today.  Make sure to check out some other fun projects using the Heartstring Kits and subscribe for yours today!  There's nothing like a healthy scrap stash to make a crafter happy!

A Job Well Done!

CRAFTWORKCards CANDi  Featured Designer

Hey Hey and Hello!  I am super thrilled to be able to share a fun card with you today! I looked at my calendar and noticed it is Administrative Professionals day next week.  As coincidence would have it, as I was wandering around the scrapbook supply store, I ran into this fun paper.  I knew mixed with a little CRAFTWORKCards CANDi it would create the perfect card to celebrate the occasion.  (It's a strange holiday, but they celebrate it at my Mom's office.)  I used the Damask- Afternoon Tea CANDi

Seen Here:

Oh, I just love Damask!  And now the card:

I just love the "Old Fashioned" typewriter images.  Here is a close up of the embellishments:

"A job well done" indeed!  I hope all of the people in the office as well as yourself enjoyed this card today.

"Gnarly" Gift Holder

Hey Hey Hey it's WOW Wednesday!  That means I get to show you another fun project using the Heartstring Designs "Gnarly Dude" kit.  Side Note-  This kit is AWESOME and I highly recommend grabbing yourself one here.  But warning...last time I checked there were only 2 left!  Anyhoo, today I am showing a gift/treat holder I created using only a cardboard container I had on hand and the Radical "Gnarly Dude" kit.  Here it is:

There is not one thing I don't absolutely LOVE in this kit!  You can see everything included in the pic at the top of my post.  However, one of my favorite items is definitely the view finder paper!  Here is a better look at the top of the container:
