Welcome to the “Father’s Day” Blog Hop!  
 
We’re so happy you could join us today to honor Fathers, Brothers, Sons, Uncles or
any other man who has been a great influence in our lives!


 If you started the hop from the beginning you
should have arrived from Lori’s Blog at Scrapping My Stress Away
If you happened by my blog or are joining me from your dashboard, head
over to Miranda’s blog to start at the beginning.  We don’t want you to miss any of the fun!  
Speaking of fun…  
Here is a layout that I just loved, a picture of her and her daddy one day while we were out playing minature golf
I took the photo while they were in the tunnel, every step of the way, (dad being an avid golfer) he had to teach her the
PROPER way to golf!  It was sooo cute.

I have yet to have her journal it, but I better not wait to long!
It is late on the night we are posting and I got together with my 13 year old son to do something for Dad too.  We waited until he went to bed then made a layout, I had him write 10 reasons why he loves his dad and this is what he came up with..

10Reasons

 

So sweet.
We also made him some cupcakes earlier tonight all served up on a platter!

   In addition to seeing a lot of awesome projects, there is some blog candy
available too.  Miranda will be giving away a Michael’s or JoAnn’s gift card (winner’s choice).  To be eligible for the blog candy, you are required to visit each stop in the hop and leave a comment!  The winner will be announced Wednesday, June 19th on Miranda’s blog! 

A quick Kinder Craft

Posted on by

Abby fell asleep tonight after a long day, so sometimes they just need that.  I let her sleep then about 8:30 she perked up and wanted to craft!  Oh boy I am ready for bed!   But to make my girl happy, she has no school tomorrow I said yes.   We were going though some old photos on the computer the other day and she got a kick out of these of when she was a baby, she thought it was the neatest thing she was eating her daddy’s nose!  So we made it a frame for Father’s day!

MyDadnAbby

Just using foam board and a xacto knife I cut out the frame and put matboard on the back for a hard matting,  Let her decorate with foam stickers.  Soon those stickers he hates to see around the house he will love the love that was put into this one!

Happy Crafting

DT Tuesday – Need inspiration for some mesh ribbon?

Posted on by

Well if you do, I have something for you!  My daughter’s teacher is moving away and I wanted to make her something.  So I thought it would be cute to make a bunch of tags that her students can either sign, draw on like color code pink for bedroom yellow for kitchen, or whatever she like and use them for moving tags.  Sounds a bit silly to be to put a tag on a box but I couldn’t resist since I know that the memorabilia will be there in the end for her students here at this school.

Tags1

Once I made the tags I had to have something to put them in right?  I saw this valentine tool box in the sillouttee store, I just took off the hearts and made it a tool box.  Using a thick card stock from DCWV Type Art, I cut it out and put this beautiful mesh ribbon around it.  Then when I started to put the handle on it wouldn’t stay so I put some jute wine ribbon on the ends

then a little twine put on her labeled tag from Abigail.

She loved her teacher alot and has been a very good influence on her this past year.  I was happy to make her something besides another thank you card.  I thought the mesh ribbon really topped off this project.  It really perked up my spirits to show off this new project!  If you would like to see what Jessi  has for a selection you can visit her open facebook group at  “My life in Arts n Crafts” , go ahead and browse through the fun stuff she has to offer.  If you like something you see,  just comment on that photos and she will send you an invoice!

Pinterest Inspired Blog Hop

Posted on by

I have joined a new group to hop along with whenever something new and interesting comes up I can join.  I saw this title and just jumped on it not because I am a pin fanatic but I do alot of google image and I knew I could get some inspiration on Pinterest!  Deborah from Scrappingmamma is your host today, if you came straight here and would like to hop the whole hop I believe she is surely giving out some goodies too!

For our hop today, what stood out and inspired me the most was this…

IMG_0357

They called it a recycled paper bracelet, and they used a glossy type magazine and clear nail polish  but I just threw this together with scrapbook paper from colorbox, one of my daughters books I bought for her, and wala…. she was in love!

IMG_0359

All you have to do is cut one inch strips, I used the whole 12 inch but you don’t have to you can do like 8 inches, then cut them at an angle from one end to the opposite end to get the spiral look, there are several ways you can cut them to get bead looking things out of them, you can make them straight, or fun cuts in the middle.  Then roll them up on a toothpick,  I was using Zig Glue, and it was easy as a few beads and string to put it all together!  I really should have Mod Podged them, maybe next time.

I hope you have enjoyed my project.   If you would like to subscribe to see more fun projects, I hop along with groups throughout the month.  All you have to do is put your email in the top right on your browser or scroll all the way down on your mobile!  Join me for some fun and inspiration!  Sometimes goodies too!

Kindergarten Time Line

Posted on by

Abby’s family project this month was a timeline I am so sad I didn’t get better pictures.  I am sure dad will get some good shots of it tomorrow when he goes to “Donuts for Dad” day at her school.  I didn’t even finish that last page before photographing it with my iPhone, it is a banner and I wanted to remember it before it got smashed, lol

 

 

I also have updated my page on

“Lets talk about your camera”

If you haven’t checked it out and you are interested in photography but need some know how.. this is where it all starts.

Update on the time line…. I got a picture or two of the whole thing!

One Colorful Summer Blog Hop

Posted on by

Brought to you by the Krazy Crafting Crew

Our independent hop team is bringing you colorful delightful creations for summer time projects!

OneColorfulSummer

If you have just stumbled upon the hop, Robin Lane from “Create-a-Latte” will be your host today, you can start from the beginning and work your way through, to get all the inspiration we have to offer.  The whole line up will be provided at the end of this post.

I tossed and turned over this hop on what to make, what to make and then what to make.  Feeling it should be some kind of decoration of color for summer.  So finally I came up with an idea since the Fourth of July is coming up, I love the red, white and blue.  You know it is summer that time of year!  So with it being right around the corner, here is a wreath I made with

4 of each color of 5×6 card stock. to make the cones, then with ATG I covered a circle of mat-board carefully sticking each one, but will have to go back with the hot-glue gun to nail them down!   Then I used some mirrored vinyl for the star on top over poster board.  I did Photoshop some texture on the paper and some glitter stars to spruce up the photo.  My daughter will LOVE it as is!

Robin Lane our host is giving out some fun blog candy to those who comment on all blogs, I am not sure what all her requirements are so be sure to stop by her blog and if you just stumbled upon the hop you can go through the whole thing to inspire you for some summer crafts!

Jessi’s “My Life in Arts n Crafts” DT Tuesday 5/21

Posted on by

Hi this is Lissa here with another DT Tuesday post for Jessi’s My Life in Arts n crafts.  I am going to make it a quick post today, I made this  banner for a friend at work who his girlfriend is soon to have a baby and he just announced that he will be leaving the company next week.  On the fly I came up with this, so everyone could sign it and he hopefully will always remember us.   I am happy for his success but sad to see them leave.  Just before he became a supervisor,  I was really happy when he told me he was coming back full-time, but it didn’t last long before he is gone again.  Well at least he will be happier, in a bigger city as he is use to, with a greater job and something he actually went to school for.  If it were not for him I may not be writing this post today, he has been my blogging mentor all along.  I would love to have a day just to talk geek with him!

IMG_5047

Enough of the soap box, I made this with poster board and a cut file from the sil store and some computer fonts.  Using Jessi’s Twine for the ribbon instead of the cut that came with the file, I cut it off and used the red white and blue twine. I thought it turned out pretty neat.  I can’t lie, I forgot to take the picture while it was set up with all the pretty presents so I had to Photoshop a background in and I didn’t do that very well… uh oh.  Not enough time before I had to post… but I still love it, I thought about making another just to see if I can sell it!  sooo cute!  Well if you would like to check out the colors and products Jessi has at her Etsy Store it’s the perfect time to get that red white and blue for the upcoming holiday.

Until next time…. hoping to see you this weekend for the “Pocketful of Sunshine” hop,. if not before when I post his gift I am making for the shower gift.  I still have til Friday to get that one done! lol
