I love custom orders and this one was a fun one for sure! This started off as a discarded (in the recycle bin of course) box that I cut down to size. They are both around 12x20" and perfect for wood signs.
A place to showcase my crafts and talk about it...what's better than that? I hope to inspire and encourage others to create things for themselves, friends and family.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo
This is a simple way to dress up a bottle for Cinco de Mayo. I used the Lemons & Limes E140 cut file from Printable Cuttable Creatables for the fruit and lots of shades of yellow and green paper scraps!
SNS #265
May is going to hold a Birthday Bash on the Sketch n Scrap site. I'm working with card sketch #265 this month and it's a good one especially when you are mass creating - like I did!
I bought some paper & die cuts from Scrappy Boys from the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in March and thought they would be perfect for this sketch. In fact, so perfect that I made FIVE cards using this sketch and five different characters.
The first thing I did was cut a piece of cardstock at 5.25x4". I cut & attached a piece of 3.5x4" piece of paper to the left of this piece of cardstock and a 1.75x4" piece on the right. Each 1/4" strip is a little different too. Some are straight and some have a scalloped edge.
I used the Print then Cut option in Cricut Design Space to make the sentiment rectangles & bursts since I didn't have stamps to go with these MARVELous die cuts.
Be sure to join the challenge at Sketch n Scrap blog or FaceBook page.

TGIF; Thankful Friday 316
It seems that most people around me are sick - some with allergies- but a lot just sick. I’m thankful that I’m not.
I drink a lot of water and every day I add some Hydration & Immunity booster that is from a company called Salud. They have great flavors and are low in sugar.
Try some. You’ll thank me later!
What are you thankful for this week?

Let's Get Messy May
I'm starting a new series this month - Let's Get Messy May. I'm going to post a YT video and blog post each Thursday in May (there are FIVE) featuring messy art in my Junk Journal or just getting messy in general.

Engraved and Painted Rock; LTCCB
It's time for another six week challenge from the Love To Craft Challenge Blog (LTCCB)! You know I love all things crafty so when I saw this engraving tool at Grocery Outlet, I grabbed it. It was less than $5 so what did I have to lose?

Here’s the sketch:

TGIF; Thankful Friday #315
It's Friday people! Thank goodness. What am I thankful for this week? Books. I've always been an avid reader - I love books but there are some that resonate a little more.
I'm reading a book now called Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt and I've only just started but I love it already! One of my coworkers let me borrow it after she read it.
Let me know if you've read it. I hope it continues to be as good as the parts I've already read.
Enjoy!

Mr. and Mrs. Layout
I was so happy to find this die for these streamers since they are perfect for finishing this layout spread and I can see myself using it a lot for more!
Most of the flowers are from Design Space as well as the Mr. & Mrs. title. Glitter paper is from CutCardStock and the streamer die did not have a name but I purchased it from the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in March from Tall Mouse. I was so excited to find it! Of course I can make this with the Cricut but with the fine "strings", it can be hard to do.

Upcycled Trays
If you peek at my blog or any of my social media accounts, you know that I create all sorts of crafty things. If asked, I would say paper crafting is my fav but I love upcycled projects too! The thrill of making something different is so cool. I love it!
All designs were created in Cricut Design Space. Although I don't partake or celebrate 420, I do have some family that do so I made these especially for them. Whether they use the trays as intended or as a decorative piece to hang, it's up to them.
Enjoy!

Sketch n Scrap Layout Sketch#295
Using sketches is one of the best things when you're experiencing a creative block. I love this sketch from Sketch n Scrap because even though it has the horizontal line for photos, you can easily turn it to accompany vertical photos - like I did!
