TGF 's Hoppin into the Holidays

Hi everyone! It's that time to start up with the holidays! Here I am participating into TGF 's Holiday hop. Please check out TGF blog for more details. Here is my first creation for the "Let it snow" theme. I use images from TGF called Keep Cozy. I got this idea from Stamp Camp from Stampin Up but we made it into cards but here I made it into tags. Love these treat cups from Stampin Up, you can pretty much put anything small inside to make it fun . The Stampin Camp I went to they added glitter and water inside the treat cups, thought this would be great idea to make into some Christmas ornaments too.

Next here is my creation for the "Santa Baby" theme. I made these into Christmas gift cards holder. The image is from TGF called XMas Sweeties and Cheeky Rockabilly and use the Santa hat from Xmas Sweeties. On the left is a chimney GC holder and on the right is stocking. Both were made using my Cricut and DS.

Lastly here is my creation for the "Holiday Treats" theme. This is a cupcake holder. Image I use is Flirty Anya and added the Santa hat from Xmas Sweeties. Inside is a red velvet cupcake and I added kisses candy cane. Yummy!

Hope you guys like it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your hop. Next stop is Becca Fabozzi .

Another Tinkerbell Invitation

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! Gosh I can't believe the weekend is over, where did the time go? Well anyway I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend and did a little shopping. For me didn't do any shopping this week, I wasn't in the mood to shop. Probably later on this week. I got a chance to go to the Christmas parade on Friday night. I got busy this weekend finishing up some invitation. So here is another Tinkerbell theme invitation. I needed to create 120 of these. It's another pocket invitation this style is a pocket tag invitation. She wanted to be a Tinkerbell theme with butterflies in it. I use my Cricut and DS to create this invitation template. Then I use my Big Shot and SU emboss folder for the floral background. The Tinkerbell emboss and cut is from Cuttlebug. The butterflies both small and large is from Martha Stewart punches. I also added a ribbon and a bling on the big butterfly. I have my son helping me put the ribbons on the butterfly and bling on it. So glad he likes to help me with these and it keeps him busy. Well that's it for today be sure to come back tomorrow as I will be participating on TGF HOLIDAY BLOG HOP until then enjoy the rest of your day.

Thank you Joy and some Halloween memories!

Happy Saturday everyone! My friend Joy who recently celebrated The Joy of Crafting's anniversary. Check out her project, she always have fun and exciting creations to share. I received a lot of cool items, along with the party favors she gave everyone who participated on her blog anniversary. Isn't that owl so cute? Now, I need to get me one of that fries box die or wait let me see if I can try creating one this using my Cricut and DS. You just have to wait and see. Thank you so much Joy! I truly appreciated. In return of her kindness and generosity I made her this container fill with furikake chex mix. The image I use is from TGF - Hallo Witch it's a digi. But I hope they make it in rubber next year. Colored her with copics. Added some fun Halloween stickers on the design and lid cover and put some googly eyes. I'm so glad she likes it!Next one is a treat bag I made for some couple friends in the mainland. I also use another Greeting Farm image. This was last year stamp line and no longer carry it in rubber only digits. Inside is my favorite Hawaii best popcorn it's called Hawaiian Typhoon Microwave Popcorn bag. Yummy!

And here are some pictures of my son on Halloween. I know he wanted to be the ghost from Scream. Scary, he doesn't like to be anything cute anymore. It's amazing how grown up he's becoming. Gosh, time flies by so fast. Oh well that's life and just enjoy every moment spend and treasured them. Thanks again for stoping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

October Tags Swap

Hi everyone ! So here is my October tags swap that I made. I was lucky enough to be partners with Kyoko who happen to be the host of the a monthly 3-Tag Swap. I'm having so much fun making them and I'm glad my partners enjoy getting them. Here I use images from TGF called Keep Cozy. I got this idea from Stamp Camp from Stampin Up but we made it into cards but here I made it into tags. Love these treat cups from Stampin Up, you can pretty much put anything small inside to make it fun . The Stampin Camp I went to they added glitter and water inside the treat cups, thought this would be great idea to have my son make some Christmas ornaments and added his picture inside to give it out as gifts to his grandparents and relatives. I have to set a time for this with my son and niece, I'm sure it will be fun! Well I made the template using my Cricut and DS! I don't have the right size circle punch to match the treat cup so I just use an estimate on the DS to make my own. I need to get me that circle punch. Well it work out as the way I wanted it to be. And had fun putting it together.

Here's what I received from Kyoko. Aren't these tag adorable. I so love the angels and how she made them look so pretty with the colors and bling she added. Thanks again Kyoko!

Well, I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far! Thanks again for stopping by!
