Fairy Day Blog Hop - Day 2

Welcome to my part of the Fairy Day Blog Hop for Day 2.  You should have started at Creations By Gill M and come here from there!

I made two similar projects for today.

For both of my projects I used SVG Cuts Spring Birdhouse set with the gourd birdhouse.The paper on the first one is K & Company's Que Sera Sera.  The fairy is cut from a page out of the Once Upon A Time stack.

This second fairy house is my favorite by far.  The cute little fairy is actually a photo of my now 13-year-old daughter when she was 3!  I had to scan it in because I couldn't find the disc (imagine not being able to fine a disc after 10 years and a move!), so I lost some of the picture quality.  The "for lease" sign is from the same photo.  I did put a little "pixie dust" in the form of some Martha Stewart Sugar Cube iridescent glitter on her wings.  The butterfly is from The Graphics Fairy.  I printed it out twice and glittered the top layer with Martha's Orange Sorbet iridescent glitter.


I'd like to think this sweet little fairy outgrew her home and was "showing" it to the butterfly.  The paper for the gourd birdhouse is from the Once Upon a Time stack and the leaves and vines are from K & Co's Que Sera Sera.

Don't forget to collect your hidden letters along the hop and unscramble them for a chance to win some candy from Gill.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at my projects.  Next on the hop is Jalisa.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Officially Summer

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 give it more of a weathered look.  The p

Vacation Blog Hop

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 over 100 on each "cup" of the top.  If

LORDY,LORDY JENN IS 40!!!!

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 and Smooch Spritz to s
