Woot! Woot! It is Friday and we are in full P-A-R-T-Y mode!
If you are hopping along the “blogiversary ” going on over at Everyday is an Occasion you are in the right place! If you are here by chance, you are in for a treat! Jill from Every Day is an Occasion is celebrating her one year blogiversary! Today you will be hopping from blog to blog gathering birthday inspiration. AND she has some amazing CHA crafting swag she scored over this summer for her goodie bag giveaway!
My birthday inspiration came from the delights of one of my many weekly Target runs. Yes, I said Target! I saw a card in the stationary section that caught my eye and when I almost summoned up the courage to think I may buy it, I realized that I could so easily make this and save the million dollars $4.99 they wanted for it. Duh!!! Yes, sometimes I loose my mind and forget that I have a 300 square foot crafting island in my house. I blame that moment of insanity on the blinding bright lights of Target and my kids nagging me to get over to the toy department so they can add to their already mile long Santa list.
So here is what I came up with!
Hi all! Today is my last day of having my oldest be home with me before she heads off to the great and new world of Kindergarten! Sniff, Sniff! To brown-nose kick off the year right, I decided to make her teacher a card to go along with all the “donations” of sanitize wipes, Kleenex, markers, and paper. Sheesh! I guess that is the new rite of passage that goes along with now being a mom of school-aged kiddos.
Here is a peek at what you can find up over at Jinger Adams today!

Happy Sunday!
Here is a quick and simple project that you can make as a gift for almost any occasion. I made this for my neighbors/friends as a warm welcome back from an extended trip. We had been taking care of their kitty while they were away, so it was easy to place this onto their kitchen counter for a cheery welcome home. 
All I did was pick up a glass water pitcher at Home Goods, found some sunflowers at Trader Joes and thanks to my addiction to Pick Your Plum, I had the chalkboard sticks handy. I used a white gel pen for the sentiment and inked the edges with stamping ink. I added some Hemp Cord from Hemptique (love that stuff- such a crafters go-to, something that just adds such a natural and no nonsense feel to a project! did I say I love hemp cord from Hemptique? ) and added some buttons. For the buttons I ran Hemp Crafter’s Cord from Hemptique for a splash of color. I used a hot glue gun to secure all the buttons! EASY PEASY!

Hi all! Today is the big Design Team announcement over at Amelia & Me Crafts and my mug is part of the lucky crafty talent. I am super excited to be on this team since it is a blog/online store that is dedicated for Silhouette Cameo and American Crafts product lovers obsessed. Yes, they are an authorized retailer for both Silhouette and American Crafts products! Does it get any better than that? Head over and meet this amazing group of talent and see what amazing products are available! Also be sure to LIKE them on FACEBOOK! You will not want to miss all the fun happening over there!
Since we are on the subject of my love for my Silhouette and being on a team that celebrates all that is wonderful about that amazing piece of crafty engineering, here is how I dressed up some homemade jam I made yesterday from strawberries we hand picked on Monday with my kiddos for my youngest birthday. I thought it would be a fun way to give thank you notes to those who have shared in celebrating with a very special little lady turning four with the strawberries she picked.
All I did was break down Lori Whitlock’s Circle Banner (can be found via Silhouette store) and add color and a cute sentiment. I then used the pint and cut feature, added a button and some CTMH burlap twine and cute fabric and called it done! The hardest part to all of this was making the jam!

Hi all and happy back to posting day to you!

OK, so most of you that follow me know that I tend to make things that take some time, but TIME IS NOT ALWAYS MY FRIEND . . . so I am finding as my kids’ schedule is starting to kick into high gear with school, activities and just life.
I love making cards for people, and the thought of running out and buying a card because time is running out is just plain sacrilegious! I find myself breaking out into cold sweats when I am holding a “manufactured” card at the checkout counter.
Well, I just found some pretty amazing products at Michales the other day that changed my world in the scope of being able to make a card that is cute, trendy and heartfelt totally on the fly! GOODBYE over priced Hallmark cards and Hello to Mambi Cards, by Me & My Big Ideas!
I seriously made this card in about FIVE minutes! All I did was pick a pre-cut and scored card from the Mambi card stack, cut down a piece of paper scrap for a layer and wrapped a piece of ribbon around the middle and set it with my ATG.
I then punched out a circle on another piece of scrap I had on hand and inked the edges and secured it with my ATG.
Finally I added the pre-made embellishments from Recollections I found on clearance and called it done!
I have a feeling you may be seeing more of these fun and quick cards!
