Crafting it Up!

Long time..... ☺ Oh I HAVE missed you blog. Just so you don’t think I sit around all day doing nothing (unless of course your definition of nothing is-
A person who chases a crazy, busy, talkative, sweet 2 yr old, goes to the gym, does way to much homework for someone not in school, has relearned reading and math, cleans the same things over and over again at least 10x a day it seams,
(dirty is so much easier.....RIGHT?), learned ballet and the violin, again, Is a pro at Zack and Wiki (that might actually count as nothing ☺) chases Rigi- it is worth saying twice, drives the kids around, etc you’ve heard it all before) then yes I am doing nothing. And loving it! I love being busy with my kids. I just wish I had more hours in the day to do more crafting.

So I am showing off for a few and I must give credit where credit is do. I am a crafty copier- crafters beware, if it is cute I am so copying it.

Aubree was really sweet and shared her Birthday with Cambryn. I made Aubree her cute Birthday hat and embellished her tee with some fabric and bling. A Girls gotta have some bling! I have more pics....

Fun Baby Cake

I Basically want to copy everything this lady does. I want to Live Life Patino Style. We could so be glitter buddies. She is over the top which I LOVE. In another post I’ll be showing lot’s of fun things that I’m making or have made thanks to Miss Patino. I was inspired to make a cute St. Patties day shirt for Cambryn.

I made these end of the year thank you's for the kids teachers. Love the wrapped sterling on the peach beads.


Party anyone?

Who doesn’t love to receive presents. For me I think I have more fun making presents then receiving them. . . most of the time :)☺. When my friend, mother of 5 boys, found out she was actually having a girl. I think all of her friends 1- started praying that this baby would make it here okay 2- hmm what are we going to get this baby--- everything. I think we all wanted to spoil this baby and mom. I have no words to describe what an amazing mom and person she is. I asked her what she wanted of course she said whatever, just as long as it was hand made. Theme red so I went with it Here is what I made her.

I just went to her house the other day to make more bracelets and binkie clips. She decided she needed more bracelets to match all the outfits-- :)

This tu tu onsie was so cute I almost had to keep it. I ruffled 3" strips of tulle and sewed them on the onsie then put swarovski crystals on for a crown. Perfet for the little princess.

Ian's crib bedding you can see his cute room here

I can't wait to see it in person.

For Caden. Miss you!

I made a nursing cover tutorial if anyone wants it. It is really easy. Lining is the trick!

We got to go visit the newest Both in January. What a little sweety. He will be so big next time we see him. Cambryn and Brayden loved holding him. Sometimes they actually fought over how would be able to hold him. Brayden was really sweet and would hold him forever.

I was so excited to make him some cute things and his big sister too. I saw this on a web site and I had to make one. I had been itching to use my grommit setter.
Way better cover then what I had for Cambryn and Brayden.

Isn't he the perfect model.

Cambryn with Baby Noah. So sweet.

We made these for Activity Days. I had the girls write a letter to themselves with a goal for this year and then put it in the box.

I got these wooden boxes from the dollar store. Rounded up some cute scrapbook paper. Made a pattern unhinged the boxes and let the girls have at it. We Mod Podged the paper then sanded the edges, then mod podged again and put their cricut cut names on with Mod Podge. Then another layer of Mod Podge. Fianally Hot Glue cute layered flower on Top. Oh and put the hinges back on.

This was before they had all put their names on. They turned out Super Cute!

Cambryn rockin' the leotard I made her. I love the ruffles around the neck. I would love a bathing suit with halter straps like that.

I found this all over the blog-net at Halloween time. Kiki and I made the actual BOO ones and then had this fantabulous idea to make one for every Holiday. What a great idea. Well a couple of months went by, Kiki made her Valentines one sooo cute (I'm not sayng her other ones weren't cute). I had to copy. Love Pink, Love glitter. I got stumped on Spring--- anyone have a 3 letter or 4 letter word to describe spring, besides EGG. Thanks Chris

One of my favorite Blogs around is Just a Girl. She has some of the best ideas. She truly sees the lemonade out of that lemon. I have copied a few of her things and been inspired by other things she's done. So worth checking out!

If you haven't guessed yet I love Mod Podge. It is basically a staple for crafting. Seriously I use it for everything. It is an essential tool. Guys have duck tape, I have Mod Podge!

These are so old but worth sharing. We made these at our Super Saturday. Such a cute easy idea. Take a book ( this is actually one of the blue Book of Mormons) cover with cute paper and some mod podge- love the stuff if you couldn't tell- a couple of times.
Put a cute ribbon around it secured with a brad on the front and back with a flower embellishment. Ta Da
