New Give Away on Papercre8tions Facebook page!

Good Morning! It's time to set a new facebook goal and have a give away! I've been sitting at 213 for some time now. I would like to see that number grow to 250. When we get to 250, I will have a give away! I'm thinking the lighthouse, but I haven't made a definite decision on that.

SVG Cuts Seaside Kit

Whatever the give away, I know you will love it!

So, be sure to visit my facebook page and give it a like! The sooner we hit 250, the sooner we can have a winner!

Day 9 of my 30 day personal challenge

Day nine saw the successful completion of the teapot from SVG Cuts Tea for You and Me kit. This was a great project to do. I love how well it went together! It looks so real and is so sturdy. This teapot will be part of my Facebook 200 page likes give away. I will be making the entire kit for the lucky winner!

For the base I used AC cardstock. For the panels I used DCWV's The Butterfly Garden stack. It has a real English teapot feel to it. I added some little sticky pearls on the lid and lid handle, and tied a ribbon to affix to the top. It's going to be hard to let it go!

Once again, thank you for stopping by my blog. Be sure to check in again for more crafting adventures!

First Craft Show is Done!

Well, I made it. Got to my first craft show and actually sold a few things! Unfortunately for the vendors and crafters, Wichita had a February temp of high 68 so the traffic was a little light. Most people chose to spend the day in the great outdoors on such a glorious day. We've had some really cold temps, so I don't blame them! I met some really nice people and bought some wonderful jams from Steve's Jams and Jellies. I opened the Cherry Cheesecake right away to try it. It really taste like Cherry Cheesecake!

Ok, back to my experience.

We could choose to set up either Friday evening, or Saturday morning. I chose Saturday morning, so I could do a mock set up at home first. (I also had to finish up pricing and packing my items) I got up just before 6am, took my shower, loaded my car and drove over to pick up my niece, who was helping me. We arrived right at 8 am and got busy setting up. We were done by 9 and I am very pleased with how our booth turned out.

One of the things my family highly suggested was for me to take the Easter bunnies from last year and see if anyone wanted to order them. That was the best idea of all! I ended up with orders for 10 bunnies!

Here is a look at the bunnies from last year!

All in all, I am very pleased with my first attempt at craft showing. I'll be keeping a look out for another small craft show for the future. In the mean time, I have some bunnies to make!

Crafting On A Budget-Making Something Personal

Christmas is getting closer! Radio stations are playing Christmas music and the stores have been full of Christmas decorations for weeks! My mind has been filled with Christmas projects as well! But not every project is planned entirely of paper. I know! That's not what my name would suggest! I do like to stray off the paper path every once in a while, just for something different to do. This Christmas I have plans to add vinyl to the very popular plastic tumblers that everyone seems to carry around.

I made this one as a test to see how difficult it would be for me. Working with the vinyl is a little challenging, but with more practice it will be easy. This tumbler is from the Dollar Tree. I bought the Oracal vinyl on ebay last year, but I'm just now getting around to using it. I went ahead and ordered a case of the tumblers from Dollar Tree direct, so I wouldn't have a problem getting the number I needed. Popular items can be hard to locate there, when you really want them! These should be super cute and I'm sure the "giftees" will really enjoy them!

I watched a YouTube video made by Christopher Alan Designs on how to apply the vinyl. Very helpful presentation. I already had some clear transfer tape from my very first attempt at vinyl several years ago, but when I came across the Magic Cover clear contact paper he talks about, I bought 10 rolls! (at the Dollar Tree of course!)

For another project, I wanted to get more use from my Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio tools. (I have acquired several of the shapes) They were having a sale on Joann.com for the charms that go with the various shape studio tools.

So, I bought some to go with my tools. But...I wasn't sure what to do with them. On another shopping trip to Michaels, I came across some bracelets that were only $2.49 each on sale. They are made with the stretchy cord and had at least one dangle hanging off of them. Light-bulb! Take off the dangle they had and replace it with a charm! Here is one of the bracelets I changed.

I also found some packages of heart charms and word charms that I added to this one. I like the way it turned out and for such a budget price! (less than $5.00)

Another project I did recently (sorry I forgot to take pictures of it) for a guy was to take some pictures of a mutual relative (it was for the other grandfather) and make little "tool box" magnets from the epoxy shapes. I also made the My Day with Dad toolbox to put them in. I did change the tag from dad to the recipients name. Another personal project that packs a big punch for such a budget price!

Just wanted to share these few easy, budget friendly projects to show that it doesn't cost a lot to show someone you care. Just a little bit of your time to make it special!
