Hey All!!!


I feel like it has been FOREVER since I have posted a "post" just because! I have had SO MANY projects due over the past 2 weeks due and I have also been in 2 blog hops! WOW! Can you say EXHAUSTED??? LOL! BUT, I would NOT change that for the world! I am LOVING every single minute of crafty goodness!!!

I am also so thankful for my followers! I have picked up about 40 of you over the last week, so WELCOME! Hope you can find some inspiration from my blog, or one of my blog friends!!!

So, I asked the question...What have I been up to? Well, I answered part of it above, and here is the rest of the answer! BABY SHOWER MADNESS!!!! My adorable sister in law, Kristen, is due in 2 months!!! Here shower is this weekend and I am FINALLY going to be able to talk to her again! lol! I am the WORST with surprises! I have BANNED myself from talking to her because I just KNEW I would give it away! Well, since the shower is this Sunday, I can FINALLY talk to her again!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Wanna see some things me and my other sister in law, Colleen (my event planning business partner!) have created for her???? I am going to start off with showing you the things I already posted about; The Invite and The Favors!

Here is the invite! The Baby's Theme is Jungle Jubilee! They have decided to be surprised at what they are having!! Boy, that HAS to be tough!  

 Here is the favors to go with the invite! On the back of the favors we have: "We're not LION, thanks for coming to Kristen's Shower"; "Thanks for MONKEYING around with us at Kristen's Shower"; "Hope you had TONS of fun at Kristen's Shower"; "So LONG, farewell, thanks for coming to Kristen's Shower"

Here is a picture of the invite and the favors! Don't they look TOO cute together???

Now, on to the new things that we finished up this weekend! Hope you enjoy them all! It took ALL DAY on Sunday!!!

 Banner for the new baby! Like the colors? Since we don't know the sex!

 Mom to Be Badge that I made for my sister in law to wear at her shower! I used Glossy Accents, My Big Shot, and My Cricut to make!

These are the blocks that we made to sit next to her as she is opening her gifts. Keep in mind, these stand about 3 1/2 feet tall! They were just a bit time consuming to make!

The next set of pictures are the centerpieces for the tables that we made for the restaurant! The four frames are going to go home with her so she can hang in the babies room!

The Cute Elephant Frame! Don't you just LOVE his little peanut friend??? 

The Giraffe Frame! The Favorite!!!

 Cute Lion Frame! Don't you just love the Sun with its Peachy Keen Face??

 Super Cute Monkey Frame! He's swinging on by with a banana to say "Hi"!

 Baby Carriage Centerpieces! Made from the Baby Shower Events Cricut Cartridge! We made them in green, blue, pink, and yellow!

Diaper Cake Pinwheel Centerpieces! We also made these in pink, blue, green, and yellow!

So, now you see where all my time has been spent! I also found out that you CAN submit to Cricut Magazine if you have posted, you just have to delete the post and pictures if they pick your creation!! Needless to say, I have sent in ALL the above items for their consideration! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

OK all, I hope to find you all Craftin' and Stampin'! 

Happy Sunday!

Hi All!

Happy Sunday! Sunday, as you all know, is typically my FAVORITE day of the week because its technically my Saturday (I work every Saturday) and its my CRAFT day!!! But, this week I have to work, so its not a craft day for me! Well, not until tonight that is!

This week ended on an awesome note for business for JCC because we picked up ANOTHER new bride last night! I am VERY excited to be helping her with planning her wedding, and we really don't have much time! There is LOTS to be done before her wedding on 6/6!

Speaking of wedding, my BFF Kellie and I are going to the Bridal Show after work today in Cherry Hill since Kel is getting married next year! She has high hopes of winning a dress today, lol! I will keep my fingers crossed that she does!

Also have to get finished on my sister in law's shower decorations! We sent out her invites last week and people have already started calling about getting them! THAT WAS FAST!!! Still have to finish centerpieces for each table, the banner, and her BABY clocks that I want next to her! We do have the favors done already though which is great!

Booger has been sick lately so we will just keep him in today. He wants to go on a play date tomorrow, but it will all depend on how he feels! He doesn't wanna hang out with mommy and daddy when he has a little friend around, lol! I didn't think we would be "uncool" just yet, lol!

OK, so I filled you in enough about whats going on in my world, now, how about I show you a project I am working on??? Its a POLY MESH WREATH for St. Patty's Day!

I started it yesterday, and I need to make my filler for it. I'm thinking I will be putting something on a sing that I will make out of my husbands Coca Cola case bottom, lol! Perfect for signs when you cut it in your Cricut! Just remember to use a deep cut blade!

Don't mind the background of the picture....I did it on my lunch break at work yesterday, he he!

The flags and Shamrocks are both from Dollar Tree! The Poly Mesh is from that company that I found about a month ago. I did a video on that haul!

OK guys, its off to work I go! I hope you have a great weekend!

Hope to find you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Oh boy!!! Crafty day for me is starting now!!!

Hi All!!

Happy Sunday! Its my CRAFTING DAY!!!! I was so excited to have a WHOLE day lined up with projects that I wanna make, that I just couldn't sleep! So, I have been bouncing around from blog to blog to say hello, and now its time to check in with you guys before I go up into my little craft room and CREATE!!!

We have TONS of things going on with the business today...We have our big benefit for Children's Hospital of Philadelphia going on 3/10/2012, so we are EAGERLY looking for donations for the Chinese Auction items. If ANY of you can donate ANYTHING to help us out, that would be great! Its going for a fantastic cause. My brother in law is a childhood Leukemia Survivor (23 years cancer free!) and we thought what better way to give back then to host a benefit??? He will be one of our speakers, and we are also looking for another speaker. My partners will be over later today so we can discuss all of this, so I have to get my ideas ready! I want to raise as much money as possible!!!

In addition to the benefit, we are hosting a craft show at my sons school! We are just waiting for the last word from the PTA at his school that all is set to go! So, the crafty day I am going to have is going to be dedicated to the craft show!!! I am really looking forward to this. We are going to get our name out there AND we are donating a portion of our proceeds to my sons school!! LOVE IT!!!

AND finally, we have the number of invites we have to make for my sister in laws baby shower! We worked on them for 8 hours STRAIGHT last Sunday, so now its time to piece the little animals onto the cards! I cant wait to see just how cute its gonna look all together!!!

So, I am going to leave you with a card I made...I got the idea from How'd She Do That (Dawn) on You Tube. Its called a view master card! It was SO SIMPLE to make it! I thought it was going to be hard, but it really wasn't! I even changed the directions that she had for people who don't have punches, but have George and Basic Shapes and can make circles! You would only need 1 punch for this card to work, and I will be posting the instructions tomorrow! I may even make a video for it!

OK all! Hope to find you Craftin' and Stampin'!
