Two Bundle's of Joy Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the Two Bundle's of Joy Blog Hop.  We are all so excited to celebrate the twins that are due to arrive soon. 

If you just stopped by, please start at the beginning with  Nicolette's Blog. 

I wanted my project to be something creative but very practical.  Every mom needs diapers.  So here's what I started with.

My supplies are, one cupcake tower, 6 girl and 6 boy onesies, 12 pair of socks, 24 diapers and 4 binkies.

To create the cupcakes, I laid out the onsie.

Tuck the sleeves in and fold the shirt in half.  Then fold the shirt in half again.  Roll the shirt up real tight, like a sleeping bag.

 Place a rubber band around the bottom to hold the roll together.

I then wrapped some paper around the cupcake and glued on some ribbon.  I rolled two diapers together the same way.  With the diapers as the top layer, I held them all together with a strip of paper 3 inches high. 

For a special cake topper, I used the binkies, floral wire and a bamboo stick.  I alsoused some Wilton baby rattle party favors and stuck them into the top of the diapers.
 

I hope this onesie and diaper cupcake tower gives you some inspiration for the next time you need to create a baby gift. 

Your next stop on the hope is Miranda 

Thank you for stopping by today.

July 7 Cricut Craft Room Creation

Hello Everyone.

Today is my first post as a design team member for My Craft Room.  The theme for today was to use an exclusive Cricut Craft Room digital cartridge.    I used the Track and Field cartridge.

 

I wanted to create invetations for a party we are having opening night of the Olympics.  So for a really great Olympic invite I needed to build the rings.  For those I used the All Mixed Up. 

I used stickles in Gold, Silver and Bronze for the metal colors. 

There are others on the design team that have created great projects for insperation.  Please check them out by visiting Erica's Craft Room

With the Olympics just a few short weeks away, we thought it would be fun to create a few of our Olympic games!






Using coasterboard as a base for the rings, we stamped, embossed, and die-cut
to make them super-cute.



Small maple tags are the base for this London-based memory matching game.



Adorable spotty beanbags for a competitive toss.



Another great use for maple tags and the On Broadway alphabet - tic tac toe!

Sweet Sunday Sketch 161

Hello Everyone,

It has been soooo long since my last post.  I was extremely frustrated with blogger when I was trying to get a post ready for a blog hop, that I just quit posting for a while.  I have been crafting and posting my projects on Crafting by Designs which is a great ning network of crafty types. 

I have noticed that it’s time for design team calls for many of the blogs that I love to read.  SweetSunday Sketch is one of those blogs.  I love to see the sketches and use them in many of my projects. 

Here is a copy of sketch 161.

Here is my interpretation.

Unfortunately, you can see the distinction between the two bells that are on the front.  

I used A Muse Studio blackberry card stock for the base.  The rest of the paper is from my stash.  The bells where cut the cricut using Joys of the Season.  I used two different stamp sets, A Muse Studio, Build a Cake and My Favorite Things, Clearly Sentimental about the Journey.
