Happy first day of Summer! Thanks for stopping by to see my first creation for the The Scrapoholic 's Officially Summer blog hop. You should have come here from Sarah . I had so much fun creating this Surf Shack. I've been thinking about it for almost a month now and finally did it. It took me a couple of days to get it finished. About halfway through, my thirteen-year-old daughter told me it was "too symmetrical". I tried to make it a little more off kilter just for her! The file is from SVG Cuts and is the Peony Cottage. I also used Beach Bum I and Beach Bum II to complete the Surf Shack look. The only cut I really altered is the front door. It is the bottom piece of the surfboard from Beach Bum II. I made it shorter and wider than a regular surfboard. I used just plain cardstock for all of the cuts. The roof is paper raffia found in the gift wrap aisle at Michael's. I did try to rough it up a bit to giv...
Hello Everyone! I hope you're having a great day and enjoying the Vacation Blog Hop so far. You should have come to my blog from Jill's . Instead of a traditional project incorporating pictures, I stepped out on a limb and did something out of my comfort zone. Our vacations usually involve water of some sort, the beach or lake. My project is a swimsuit made of mostly paper. I did cut up a bra I bought awhile back that was very uncomfortable and used it for the form of the top. The skirt/bottoms, I used wrapping paper and traced around a pair of my swimsuit bottoms to get the base. I taped the front and back panels together. The roses are crepe paper streamers. I cut the streamers in half length-wise and then did lots of rolling and twisting. I actually covered the entire front and back of the skirt in these silly flowers. I didn't count to see how many I actually made, but just to give you an idea there are o...
First and foremost, I'd like to wish my good friend Jenn a very,very Happy 40th Birthday! I hope your day is absolutely fabulous. Now, down to business. Jenn is hosting a blog hop to celebrate this milestone birthday. if you are following the hop, you should have come from Jill's Blog . You probably want to go back to Jenn's blog and start at the beginning. I hear there's lots of good blog candy along the way, and I'd hate for anyone to miss the opportunity for blog candy! I chose to make a birthday banner for her. Hopefully, it will be in her hands today for her birthday as I mailed it out last week. As you can probably see, I didn't make a traditional birthday banner. The number one song on Jenn's birth date was "Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night. The "world" cuts are from Cricut's Give A Hoot Cartridge. I used MTC for the font. I also made fabulous purple crinkle ribbon from seam binding ...
