She's so classy (Barbie party decor) (Decorate to Celebrate Challenge #4)

Happy Saturday,

Hope you are all having a great weekend.  I haven't posted in a bit as some of you know summertime is busy busy busy for me.  I wanted to post all these wonderful Barbie themed party decorations I made.  If you missed the invitations post please click here---->Gatefold Invitations for a close up and more info on them.  What little girl doesn't love Barbie!  I use to play with them as a child so this was so nostalgic for me.  Not to mention they were for my childhood friend.
Invites, cupcake toppers, tags and cupcake wrappers. I used the following cricut cartridges...mothers day bouquet, forever young, accent essentials, gypsy font, tags  bags boxes and more and cupcake wrappers.  Phew!!  That was mouthful!  I'm also entering this in Decorate to Celebrate's Challenge #4.  Go check them out at www.decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Thank you to our Teachers Blop hop Day 2

Welcome to the Thank You To Our Teachers Blog Hop! Day 2.   If you have arrived here from Claudia's then you are on the right track.  If you just happened to stop by my blog for a visit and want to hop along with us, start from the beginning withhttp://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.memorieswithjen.blogspot.com%2F&h=a55f0 .  This is a week long hop and we will be posting on 3 seperate days.  (June 5th, 8th and 11th)  Please make sure you hop on those days or throughout the week to see all the wonderful inspiration on what to make our teachers for thank you gifts. 

For my second project, I decided to create a frame.  I bought the wooden frame at Michael's and decorated it with the Me and my Big Ideas paper stack.  I used the Plantin Schoolbook and Home Decor Cricut cartridges.  In the center there is a picture that I did not put in order to protect the teacher's privacy.  This was such a fun little project.

Hope you enjoyed my project.  Make sure to check-in on the 11th for our 3rd and final post.  Blog candy will offered.  My one rule is that you must comment on all 3 of my posts.

Your next stop is Nancy at Fancy with Nancy.

Have a great day!!!
Liz

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!!

Hello Friends,

I hope you're having a great time.

Welcome to the "It's My Birthday Blog Hop"  hosted by the lovely Jennifer at Crafty Card Gallery

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!

If you've randomly visited and wish to start from the beginning click HERE

If you've hopped  here from Kimberly Diane's Paper Crafts then you're on the right track.  Your next and final stop is Jenn at Scrappin' Lil Turtle

By now I'm sure you've seen some pretty awesome stuff.  This is a big group of very talented crafters.

Anyone ready for Spring yet?  It's just around the corner....Butterflies always remind me of Spring. So I decided to make a lovely birthday card using the butterfly from the "Walk in My Garden"  cartridge.  I used the "Divine Swirls" folder to emboss it and added "Star Dust" stickles to give it some bling.  The stamp is from Michael's #1 deals.

What's a party without cupcakes!!  I also made these matching cupcake toppers.  The scallop circles are from "Accent Essentials" cartridge.  I used the same butterfly and added stickles to it.   The pictures really don't do this project justice.  Apologies for the quality.  It was late when I did this and the lighting in my house is awful.

Now on to the giveaway! You're going to love this......The Sweet Matstack by DCWV (with glitter).  The paper patterns in this are simply adorable.  I almost kept this for myself and then thought about how selfish that would be.  :) I think I'll just go to Joann's and buy it for myself.  Just leave a comment on this post and I will choose a winner with random.org.   I'm heading out of town and will pick a winner next week.

ENJOY THE REST OF THE HOP!!  YOU'RE ALMOST DONE.

Happy Crafting!

Phineas and Ferb Madness

Who's hungry for cupcakes?  Look at these adorable cupcake toppers!!  I'll make these using any theme along with the matching banner.

For these I used my computer to print out the images.  Then used a 1.5" punch.  I used the Accent Essentials cartridge for the scallops.  I cut out 2 scallops for each topper.  I glued the image to the first scallop then hot glued the sticks in between the scallops.  This gives it a little more dimension and you can't see the stick from behind.  I loved seeing these come together.  They're going to look great on the cupcakes.

The Cricut at work! Happy Birthday Banner

Happy Monday!  I'm one of the few that loves Mondays.  They help me start my routine again.  A new beginning!  Mondays help me forget all the the bad things I ate last week.

Wanted to show you a SUPER cute birthday banner I made with my friend for her daughter's 1st birthday. She's on my facebook and I see a post on my newsfeed from her saying something like:  "I hate cutting this...wish I had a Cricut!"  So the obsessed scrapbooker in me ran over to her house.   I won't take the full credit for this.  The original idea came from Etsy.  Someone was selling a banner VERY similar to this for $40.00!!  It was beautiful and also made out of paper.  This is my version of it.  A few little tweeks here and there....

The letters and circles are from Plantin Schoolbook.  Scallop rectangles & scallop circles are from Accent Essentials.
