Baby Girl Door Hanger

Once again, I've been digging through my stash to "To Do" projects that I bought at Michaels a while back and I found this unfinished wooden door hanger. I decided to do it up using Lindsay's Babies and Bows Set which is 50% off, making it just $3.00 for several great stamps!
I colored the images with regular coloring pencils and then cut them out and used modge podge to adhere them to the door hanger. Tip for cover the door hanger with DP, use a finger nail file to file the excess paper off of the edges of the hanger, it makes a nice flush smooth finish.

Everything at MyGrafico is 25% off this weekend! Plus, Lindsay is putting all of her holiday and Valentines stamps on sale 50% off until the 22nd! Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog to grab your freebie and check out what the rest of the DT has in store!

Now for your Thursday Freebie!!! Remember this cute little owl wall art that I made a day or so ago? As promised, here is the file to cut the little owl yourself!

Altered Paint Can -- For Pup Treats

Isn't it amazing how cleaning up the old craft room can spawn a little crafting mojo? I decided to get in there and straighten up today and kept finding things to distract me. Like this paint can that I bought at Michael's a few months back. I finally decided to tackle it. I had a vision in mind, but didn't know exactly what I wanted. Then I found the perfect patterned paper in my stash (had no idea it was there!). Here is what I came up with! I think I'm going to put it in my craft booth.

Owl Wall Art

Hello all! I can't wait to share this with you today! I'm so excited at how cute it turned out! I can't say that I came up with this on my own though! I got the inspiration from Momiji's blog! I just love her blog. She's always sharing something that she "re-purposed" or transformed. Be sure to check out all of her blog to see her fabulous creations. I have a direct link to her owl art above. She hand cut all of her pieces, but I created an svg file that I cut using my cricut. I may share that with you at a later date. Not sure what I'll do with this yet, but I love it!

A Fairy Princess Valentine

It may not be your typical valentine card, but it's just perfect for my niece! She loves playing dress up. This little valentine is for my niece from my son. They are very close in age and adore one another. I used Lindsay's fairy princess from the Pretty Princess Collection. I modified it slightly by adding a little heart in her hand to make her look like a valentine fairy. I colored her with my coloring pencils and used my cricut to cut out the scalloped shaped card. As for your Thursday Freebie, it is the card template. You can download it here.

The inspiration for this card came from 2 Sketches 4 U.

A Bellarific Birthday Card

Today is my DSIL's birthday and I made her a card that fits her personality to the T! Her favorite color is hot pink and she loves zebra print. Not to mention she loves to shop, so this Emmy Bella image fits her perfectly!
I used this sketch from this week's Bloggabella challenge. The theme this week was Birthdays!

An Alligator Valentine

Remember that guy who wanted an alligator christmas card? He wanted an alligator valentine card this time, so this is what I came up with. I found this vintage image on google and altered it a bit to say what I wanted.
I used this week's sketch at Friday Sketchers.

I've Got the Hots for you! + Freebie!

Hey folks! I'm happy to say that I think I'm finally over the pregnancy queaziness. I have felt great today and today is the first time in a long time that I've felt like crafting just for the fun of it. So here's what I've been up to!

I had a bunch of red hots laying around here that needed to be used up, so I made these cute little Valentine treat baggies to put in my craft booth for sale. I'm going to price them at $1.00 each (b/c they were so easy to do and who doesn't like a bargain?!)
I've also included the bracket file for you to create your own. My baggies were 3"x4", so I cut the RED bracket at 3" wide and the white one at 2.75" wide. To get the sentiment on the white bracket, I measured and printed them out on plain white cardstock and then used a small piece of double stick tape to attach the bracket in place over each sentiment (hold them up in the light to make sure you have them placed just right). Then I ran the same piece of cardstock through the printer again (this time with white brackets attached) and poof! They're done. Just peel them off the cardstock, fold them in half and glue them to the red bracket. I then just used a Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to attach them to the baggies.
Ok, now go make your own!
Here is the sentiment (all ready for you) and the svg file for the bracket.
