Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album

Good Evening Bloggers,

Sorry I've been so distant lately, it hasn't been intentional, I promise. It's just sometimes life gets in the way and you have no choice but to stop.

Last Saturday, I went to my final crop at Scrap That in NJ. I've met a handful of really wonderful ladies there and hope that we all get a chance to get together even without Scrap That. One of the regulars asked if we would help her make toiler paper roll minis for her cancer patients. Now you all know I just love to help people, so I couldn't say "yes" fast enough. There's only one problem: I've never actually made a toilet paper roll mini before.

So here goes nothing!












Well, how'd I do? I used an S.E.I paper pack that I found on clearance at Michael's over the summer.

Stay crafty!

Just another Tuesday

Good Morning bloggy friends,

Oh that's right, today is Valentine's Day. BAH HUMBUG.

I just haven't been in the mood to celebrate holidays lately. I was asked to do two cards for a coworker. If she wouldn't have asked, I wouldn't have done any crafts for V-Day.

Sorry about the bad lighting in the photos, I forgot to snap pictures before I came to work today. The bee is cut from Create-A-Critter (3 inches) and the hearts are from George and Basic Shapes (1.25 inches). I printed the sentiments from my computer.

Have a wonderful day.

Meet Me on Monday

Hello!! Until Java starts posting MMOM again, Acting Balanced has decided to host. Link up and share your causal and unusual with us!!

1. Are you planning anything for Valentine's Day?

Nope. I got Miss A some Valentines to take to school, but that's about it. 

2. What song automatically popped into your head when you saw this question?

I've had Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" in my head all morning. Darn you Grammys!!

3. What did you have for breakfast today?

Apple and Cinnamon oatmeal

4. Where do you keep your keys?

They are usually in my coat pocket. 

5. Who was your favorite teacher from when you were in school? 

I would have to say my favorite teacher was my 6th grade teacher Miss Campbell. She shared a passion for geography and history like I do. 

Let's Party

Hi Blogging Friends!

Just wanted to drop in really quickly and show you another invitations I'm adding to the list:

With soccer, er I mean football, season getting ready to start I thought it would be only fitting to do these.

I cut this really cute invitation from "Life's A Party" at 4 inches. The "Let's Party" is from Just Wordz Everyday Sentiments collection. I'll check back in soon

Random Post: It's Winter (the cat)

Hey Blog Friends,

I have so much on my plate right now. I'll be sharing some things soon, but for now I'm going to brag about my wonderful kitty.

If you recall we adopt a cat back in Sept/Oct. Miss A decided to call her Winter. Here's some updated photos of our lovely kitty.

What can I say, it's a cat in a box

Pleading with me to feed her before dinner time

Well thanks for stopping in, and I promise I will have some crafty projects for you soon.

Valentine Lollipop Wrappers

Good Afternoon,

It feels like I haven't been very crafty the last few weeks. I have 3 large orders that I need to work on and work is starting to pick up too.

I did have some time to put these quick Valentines together

I would say the size really depends on the lollipop you use. I used some Caramel Apple pops which were a little smaller than 3 inches square. I cut my paper 7 inches by 3 inches. I then scored at 1/4 inch on both sides. I folded and punched a hole in the small "flaps" using my hole puncher. I then used my ATG gun to put the two flaps together. I cut the ladybug from Create-A-Critter at 2.5 inches on all layers and attached it to the front. I stamped the back with Just Wordz stamps.

I have these listed on my Etsy shop here.

Thanks for stopping in and checking out my project.

Stay Crafty
