Hello my crafty friends,
Welcome to another challenge over at Decorate to Celebrate.  For Challenge #76, we are asking you to create Graduation Decorations or Birthday!! Let's celebrate EVERYTHING WONDERFUL ABOUT CAPS AND GOWNS AND DIPLOMAS or BIRTHDAYS with your table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more!! 

Thank you for stopping by today and have a fabulous day!

I found this fun idea from Pinterest from My Paper Cottage , these 

are super easy and fast to make.  

A side view and with gum balls inside

The top measures 1-1/2" X 1-1/2 and the band around the 

tube measures 1" X 3".  I've had these tubes for a long time 

and I'm not sure exactly where I bought them, but I found a link 

for you to buy them HERE.

These tubes are great for money and even treats.  You can pass these out as favors with candy and give one with money to the graduate

Hello Friends,
Happy Valentine's Day!! I hope you all have great plans with your loved ones today. As for me well, my son and hubby and I will head to dinner and a movie.  Do you guys have any movie suggestions??

Ok, now for my adorable Robot card.  I think it's a super cute one that I thought was perfect for my son and I just had to recreate.  The card is a case card from DO Stamping.  I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for stopping by today and have a fantastic Valentines Day!!

I used the Square Collection dies to create the head and body 

and I just trimmed to my desired size, The arms and legs are 

strips using the retired 1-3/8" square punch.  

I used the Owl Punch to create the cute eyes and the 1/2" circle punch for the mouth.  I used the retired Family Reunion stamp set for the SON.  Isn't it cute, I know my son will really like it:)

Hello friends,
Today is my day to create a project for Decorate to Celebrate and the challenge calls for a Valentine's Day theme box or birthday party decoration (no cards please).  So get crafting and join our challenge over at Decorate to Celebrate!

This is my very first Shadow Box that I've made and I really like how it turned out and I will definitely be making some more shadow boxes. I thought this photo was perfect for a Valentine's theme.

Catch the Bug- Anything Goes

My Sheri Crafts- Valentine

Avenue613- Anything w/optional felt

This picture of my son was taken days before his birthday in

December 2013 and so, I had to add his age to this 7 Gypsies Shadow Box and his first name initial. Since the theme is Valentine's you know I had to add some hearts all over:)  I 

tried to keep simple and boyish.  I almost added some 

rhinestones but I held back LOL!!

A close up of the edges as I sanded and sponged the edges with some Early Espresso.  I trimmed the photo about a 1/4" on one side and the bottom then added some glue dots to adhere to the box.  I then used the Square Collection Framelits and trimmed them a little to fit into the smaller boxes. The letter "D" was die cut using some retired alphabet dies set from SU.  I did die cut the letter D six times and adhered over and over on top of each other to add some dimension and height.  What do you all think?

You know I had to add two of my FAVORITE FREE items 

from the Sale- A- Bration catalog which ends March 31, 2014.  

I used the Banner Blast Stamp Set and the Banner Punch from Sale-A-Bration which again you can earn for FREE with 

every $50 order through me HERE.
