Recently returned from Alabama and brought back two souvenirs: a sinus infection and bronchitis!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While there I worked on a craft project that I started at home. I found a scrapbook frame at Hobby Lobby and decided to fill it with pictures for my daughter.</div>

Our family reunion was last summer, so I chose pictures from the various events to include in the frame. It was<i> </i>decorated with papers from the<i> Graphic 45 French Country collection</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fun project!</div>

I have already started on and finished some projects. I have a small army growing. In fact I didn't take pictures of everything I made. Only a few were chosen.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This adorable rabbit treat box is actually a FREEBIE from <a href="https://www.svgcuts.com/" target="_blank">SVG Cuts</a>! I altered it a little by cutting a window and frame using Nesties, and covering the opening with clear plastic. I bought some small hairclips from the Dollar Tree to hold the box shut and glued on a flower and rhinestone. The facial features were made using circle and heart punches. The eyes are rhinestones, and I drew the mouth with a pen. The "boy" bunny has a plain clip to hold it shut, and I added a ribbon bow tie.They are ready to be filled with Easter treats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find the pattern <a href="http://svgcuts.com/blog/2013/03/16/free-svg-file-03-16-13-easter-bunny-gift-bag/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I made these cute little chicks. They are from the the <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11&products_id=345" target="_blank">Egg Hunt</a> kit from SVG Cuts. I altered these too. I used a small heart punch to add feet and a comb on top of the head. Small rhinestones were used for the eyes. "Girl" chicks sport flowers on their heads while "Boys" wear ribbon bow ties.They are small boxes too. So I filled them with chocolate Easter eggs. YUM!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are into SVG files, I highly recommend SVG Cuts! Their files are amazing and customer service is excellent!</div>

I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted! So much has happened in the past one and a half years. Yes, I'm still crafting, but sadly all of the DTs I was on have ended. The owners have all decided to follow new directions. I LOVE SVG Cuts, and most of my projects since I last posted were made using their templates. Below are some favors that I made for my nephew's fiancee's bridal shower.The bride to be's wedding colors were plum, white, and gold.<br />
<br />

I placed the couple's engagement picture in the frame.This gorgeous template is from <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25&products_id=342" target="_blank">SVG Cuts Love Always Collection</a>. The sides and back were reinforced with chipboard to make it more sturdy. This frame also did double duty as one of the decorations at the rehearsal dinner.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The theme was "Tea Party" so I had to make this gorgeous teapot. It turned out so nicely that everyone thought it was real china. They could hardly believe that it was made out of paper!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The teacups were filled with gold Hershey kisses and tea bags.<br />

A picture of the couple (same as the large frame) was then glued to the front. </div>

I made chocolate marble cupcakes and placed them in cupcake wrappers that were made using SVG's <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42&products_id=187" target="_blank">Patio Party Cupcake Wrappers</a> kit.

The party table! I had so much fun making these decorations! My gift to the bride was a tea kettle and an assortment of teas. Such a fun time! I hope I have given you some inspiration for your next bridal shower!<br />

Over the past few days, you have met all of the Princess Mermaids in the <a href="http://www.pixieduststudio.net/category_89/Totally-Princess.htm">Pixie Dust Princess Mermaids Collection.</a> I thought they were so cute that I would turn them into paper dolls for my sweet grandaughter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWKVcKZ44EaBJ-913to_ZDQyqGCTFuwQEbaAExyPo4fU6HKY3YyAosoT9CQfTYflGVe06hbkd4bcCc8X2hnydPsqAC9rTPX75h2KdksM9UClQrrHfbF3p6IEf2crjPJzgbA8fEjZWse4/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWKVcKZ44EaBJ-913to_ZDQyqGCTFuwQEbaAExyPo4fU6HKY3YyAosoT9CQfTYflGVe06hbkd4bcCc8X2hnydPsqAC9rTPX75h2KdksM9UClQrrHfbF3p6IEf2crjPJzgbA8fEjZWse4/s400/photo.JPG" height="337" width="400" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wouldn't it be fun if the little Mermaids had a place to live? Well they do! SVG Cuts had the perfect file. The sand castle is from the<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=311"> Wet 'n Wild</a> collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I cut strips of CS and folded them into triangles. Then they were glued to the backs of the mermaids so they could stand up.</div>

Ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. I pulled some threads though the center of the ribbon to gather it and then hot glued it in place. Stickles were added for accent. Pearls and flower are "Recollections" from Michael's. CS is Bazzill. DP is from my extensive stash.<br />

I found the anchor when I googled Clip Art. It made the perfect seating arrangement for Snow White! I drew the little fish and cut it out. Patterned CS is from K and Company. Pop dots give dimensions to the characters.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Top Tip</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is my tip for Top Tip Tuesday:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tired of the expense of buying new mats for your Cricut? Wish there was a less expensive alternative? Well there is!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Supplies</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Painter's tape</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Making Memories "Slice" Repositional Spray adhesive</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaN01OR3gP6VDE2S5MtfrS4S8gIxDqxHGFwxik1oZvmoc4RcP3ZHkQJ7NV6-h4isWW7ofSO8HyPhZNIpSxCdPY6tcaz1tAMNUBlkJbT7gVtzIprGLm_tnipcaGgb4PBYVXgc4LBp8E8p0/s1600/IMG_5149.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaN01OR3gP6VDE2S5MtfrS4S8gIxDqxHGFwxik1oZvmoc4RcP3ZHkQJ7NV6-h4isWW7ofSO8HyPhZNIpSxCdPY6tcaz1tAMNUBlkJbT7gVtzIprGLm_tnipcaGgb4PBYVXgc4LBp8E8p0/s400/IMG_5149.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> </span> Place Painter's tape around edges of mat. Painter's tape is widely available at paint stores, hardware stores, and Walmart. (The tape prevents sticky buildup adhering to the rollers on your machine.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirRoGMGyv0DOTbGVuA07Z8HfD7Kgyn_ivXUkChhOHCS6ImmL0CSEoYDxyc9TP-PBeyHMyXTxqi-wov_UM5nHNYReQRQcBUobJIDYplmm_t3VucX9i9aamgfNPIAba7ZVOZb4yWZOOqbs4/s1600/IMG_5148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirRoGMGyv0DOTbGVuA07Z8HfD7Kgyn_ivXUkChhOHCS6ImmL0CSEoYDxyc9TP-PBeyHMyXTxqi-wov_UM5nHNYReQRQcBUobJIDYplmm_t3VucX9i9aamgfNPIAba7ZVOZb4yWZOOqbs4/s400/IMG_5148.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Spray a light coat of repositional spray over mat. (This step is best done outdoors)<br />
<br />
Remove tape, and mat is ready to use.<br />
Making Memories "Slice" Repositional Spray is sometimes available at Archiver's. You can also order it on Amazon.<br />
I saw the spray at Archiver's and thought I would give it a try. I'm so glad I did! It has saved me a lot of money!<br />

....I said NEVER! The only way I would consider going camping would be in an RV. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have too many allergies. Right now I have a poison ivy rash on my wrist, and I have no idea how I got it. Hubs does all of the yard work, and he recently removed some poison ivy from a tree in our yard. Some of the oil from the ivy must have gotten on his clothes, and I came into contact with it. That's my guess on how I broke out in a rash.</div>

Here is a picture of the back. I put a LED tea light candle in the opening, (2 for $1 at the Dollar Tree).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find this lantern at<a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/"> SVG Cuts</a>. It's from the<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16&products_id=315"><i> Camp Smore</i></a> kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I leave you now with one more thought on camping from someecards.com that was posted on FB </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Camping is fun if you like to pretend you're homeless"</div>

My daughter received some curtain valances as a baby shower gift, but she didn't have enough for every window in my grandaughter's room. So she asked me if I would make another valance for her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

The top curtain is store bought. The bottom one is my version. I was lucky to find material that matched at Hancock Fabrics.</div>

Fast forward a year later, and I made a coordinating hot air balloon to hang from the ceiling in my grandaughter's bedroom.</div>

I also made a clock (Yes, it really works!) for my daughter.

The boxes were quick and easy to put together. I cut them out with my Cricut and SCAL2. The files are from<a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/"> SVG Cuts</a>. The star boxes are from the <i><a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=197">Vintage Paper Rosettes</a> </i>kit. The decorative stars on the boxes are from the<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=47&products_id=312"> <i>Stars and Stripes</i></a> kit. The DP CS is from Archiver's. They had such an amazing selection of Patriotic paper, that it was hard to choose, but I managed! LOL</div>

Here is a close up of the headband that I made for her. She really doesn't like anything on her head.<br />
I distracted her with a toy and slipped the headband on. Then I quickly snapped a pic before she realized she had something on her head and pulled it off. What a sneaky Nana I am!!!</div>

As you know I am in LOVE with<a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/"> SVG Cuts</a>! I made a cowboy boot for my grandson, and my daughter asked that I make a "Girly" boot for my grandaughter. I decided that a boot turned into a lamp would be perfect! This is what I came up with! There is a cut out in the back where a battery operated candle can be placed, so the lamp actually lights up!<br />
The entire lamp and decorations (with the exception of the lace border) were made using kits from <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/">SVG Cuts</a>. The lace border is a MS punch.</div>

The DP CS that I used for the lamp is "Rodeo Girl" (The Paper Studio) from Hobby Lobby. Here is a closeup of the shade. The lamp shade and base are from the <i><a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=53&products_id=348">Maison de Madeline</a> </i>kit. The shade was enlarged for aesthetic reasons to balance out the proportions of the other elements, but the basic shape of the lamp was not changed. The kit comes with fleur de lis shapes to place over the vellum cutouts in the shade. I changed the shapes to circles to match the wagon wheels. The wheels are gears from the clock in the<i><a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=53&products_id=348"> Maison de Madeline kit</a>.</i> I cut off the edges of the gears to turn them into wagon wheels. The large flowers are from the<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=356"> <i>Summer Holiday</i></a> kit. The smaller flowers in the center are from <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=44&products_id=351"><i>Mom's Garden Gifts</i> </a>kit. Small rhinestones were placed in the center of each flower. </div>

I'm really pleased with how the add ons to the base of the lamp turned out. The boot is from the <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=53&products_id=341"><i>Happy Trails</i></a> kit.<br />
<br />

I altered the original boot design by adding a strap across the front, a spur, and a flower on each side. The flowers are the same as the ones on the lamp. A smaller version of the gear was used on the spur, and the wagon wheel is a smaller version of the wheel on the lampshade. The spur and wheel were given dimension by layering several pieces of cardstock from The Paper Studio.<br />

The bottom portion of the lamp is a small suitcase from the<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=356"> <i>Summer Holiday</i> </a>kit. I LOVE the details that Mary included when she designed this item. It has corner protectors, a unique handle, and a small luggage tag. I placed a small piece of DP with a horseshoe in the center of the tag. The small flowers on the handle are the same as the ones set in the center of the large flowers.<br />

Although it's not attached to the lamp, I just had to add a star box to complete the arrangement. The box is from the<i> <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=197">Vintage Paper Rosettes</a></i> kit. I made the "Rodeo Girl" button by layering CS and cutting out one of the paper designs included in the CS pad. <br />

Isn't this lamp adorable! I am in LOVE! Would you believe it's made entirely out of paper?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased the template at SVGcuts.com. Actually it was free because they always have a special when a new template is introduced. Spend $9.98 or more and receive the new template FREE. Use the code FREEGIFT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This new kit is<a href="http://svgcuts.com/blog/2013/03/23/maison-de-madeline-svg-kit-699/"><i> Maison de Madeline</i></a>, and it's free with purchase through Thursday. The kit comes with additional projects too: a card, two boxes, and a clock pattern. There is even a video on the website that shows you how to assemble the projects step by step!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The ribbon is<i> Celebrate It</i> from Michael's. The flower is <i>Recollections </i>also from Michael's. I found it in the clearance section in a package of six for $2.49. The tag was purchased at Archiver's (Graphic 45 <i>Once Upon a Springtime</i> collection). I used a 30% off coupon for the sheet.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The shade and base of the lamp was made using DCWV The <i>Garden Tea Party</i> stack, on sale at Michael's for $11.99, PLUS I had a 20% off coupon on top of that! I also used additional DP from the stack to cut the ribbon and lace. The lace is a MS punch. Vellum was placed underneath the fleur de lis, and luckily I had some in my stash. If you don't want this shape on your shade, you can choose another, or have no shape at all: just a plain shade.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I made a trip to the Dollar Tree to purchase a bag of clear glass pebbles to weight the base so the lamp wouldn't fall over. ( I used 12 glass pebbles.) The back of the shade has an opening and a base to place a battery operated tea light on. I found some at the Dollar Tree: two in a pack.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put the whole thing together in about two hours while I watched TV. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to make more of these adorable lamps. I think they will make great gifts! In case you are wondering, I am not on the SVG Cuts DT. I just LOVE their products!</div>

I have so enjoyed being a member of this amazingly talented team! The opportunity to work with such fabulous products has been a joy!<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kind of feel at loose ends, because this was my very last DT. The other ones I was on previously, all closed their doors in the last six months. Now I have time to devote to other projects: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Putting those hundreds of photos in scrapbooks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Making a Marching Band quilt with four years of my son's Band Tshirts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Learning how to crochet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Transfer VHS tapes (home movies) to DVD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wallpaper the bathroom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I have enough STUFF to keep me busy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also LOVE making gift boxes, and I plan on making a lot of those as gifts for my children and grandchildren (filled with goodies, of course!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan on keeping my blog and posting some of my projects in the near future. I may even enter a card challenge every once in a while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to all my followers who have been here to view my blog and leave encouraging comments. You mean so much to me! Hope to see you soon in blogland! Hugs</div>

I couldn't resist making a "Lollipop Garden to showcase them. I plan on sending this little garden to my grandkids. I know they will just LOVE it! The template is available from SVG Cuts in the <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=339"><i>For My Valentine</i></a> collection. The heart box in the background is also from SVG Cuts and is from the <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=291"><i>Love Me Do</i></a> collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides being perfect for Valentine's Day, this collection is versatile enough to be used for other celebrations as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy crafting!</div>
