Project 85 - BIRTHDAY TANK!!

Happy Thursday!  
It was 61 degrees on Monday, then this is what I saw outside my kitchen window this morning......!   
Don't-cha just love the snow!


Now onto the fun stuff.....
I had to make a card REAAALLLYYYY fast for my son's cousin's birthday! 
and ...
 I have officially amazed myself!!
:D  
This card took me (no lie) 15 minutes to make!! 
 I used Boys Will Be Boys Cricut Cartridge, ribbon from Hobby Lobby, and paper scraps I had in my scrap pile. 
I'm not that great at making cards for boys, so this was a challenge for me.
This is what I came up with...... 
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORBIN"




Oh , I just had to share this with you!  
This is
 "THE LIFE OF MY DOG...MOJO!
Isn't she just the cutest!

Project 81 - "VALENTINE'S DAY CRITTERS"!

My little guy's class, is having a Valentine's Party at school on Monday.
I am in charge of doing Crafts!  
Yeah!  
I needed to come up with something that 
both the boys and girls would love to do.   
 I saw this idea in a kit at Michaels,
 but if you know me, 
I have to find a way to recreate it
 "MY WAY" 
:D  
This is what I came up with!

Recipe:
PomPoms(Hobby Lobby)
Hot Glue/Gun
Foam Hearts-different sizes (Walmart)
Googly Eyes (Walmart)
Shimmer Sticks (Walmart)
 I hot glued the Pom Pom to the glitter side of the foam heart, .....
 Cut the Shimmer Stick, 2 pieces for the antennae.....

 Glued the Shimmer Stick pieces to the back of the smaller hearts....
 I used my Imaginisce, battery operated, hot pink glue gun for the first time....it ROCKS!  No more cords :D

 Attached the antennae's and 2 goggly eye's to the Pom Pom......
 Glued the "Happy Valentine's Day" to the back of the antennae heart...
 'Introducing My little 
"VALENTINE'S DAY CRITTERS"
 Aren't they just the cutest little critters!!
 :D
On another note.......Please, a word of caution when operating a HOT GLUE at 12:30 in the morning, while exhausted...... This is what will happen!  See the white heart shaped blister on my ring finger......
wow did it hurt!!   -(

Have a fabulous day!
