{INSPIRATION} {RE-CREATION}

so...i purchased this wire art a little while ago...but only got one at the time...and of course...now i'm wanting another...and it's not available any more...well...got to thinking that maybe i could make my own version...great thing...it didn't cost me a penny!...all the stuff was already in the house!...i grabbed a frame that my dad had whipped up...slapped on some high gloss white paint...found some wire...and got to wrapping!...i think it turned out pretty cool!...the original was 10 x 10...mine was alot larger at 20 x 15...but i really like it bigger!...

****check out my linky party directory on the sidebar to see where i'm linking to this week!...

HELLO THURSDAY!

it's that time again!...the third thursday of the month...you know...when they release the newest cricut carts!...looks like i'm in trouble this time!...i want 'em all!...and just called my local ac moore...and they have 'em already!...yeppers....that's right!...so guess where i'm headed tomorrow?...insert skipping around the room here...

                                          

STUDS WITH STYLE!

i got some earrings as gifts for my girlie girls...only problem...all 8 pairs came in one box...so...had to figure out some creative packaging...i've been eyeing up the cameo-ish cuts on the forever young cart...and thought they'd be perfect!...how great would these be for bridesmaids?...or anybody!...

now for the how to!...using the emblem creative feature i cut at 5 1/2" inches...for the girlie head i also cut a chipboard layer along with the cardstock...there's no shadow for the emblem feature...so i just cut the base 1/4" inch bigger...which made it 5 3/4" inches...also cut a chipboard layer for that one too...then...i figured out where her ears would be and punch holes...put the earrings in and added a bow!...

 

but...i needed to get some space in between the silhouette and base...so went to my box of random supplies and found 1/2" inch foam...cut a little square and adhered to the back of the head...cut a tiny little piece and did the same thing at the base...

 

here's one that's a little bit more casual...i found these adorable ant earrings and had to pair 'em up with a picnic blanket-ish pattern...punch two holes and the top and added a satin ribbon piece...aren't they ench"ant"ing?...added note...she flinched a bit when i went to pierce her ears...that's why one's a bit off!...lol...

 

TEACHERS PET

so...if you're needing a little something for teachers gifts...you can't get much easier than this!...of course...using one of my fav products, chalkboard paint....all you need to do is paint up a plain 'ol clay flowerpot...two coats...and that's it!...decorate it up as you wish!...i decided to finally use my create a critter cart...yeah...don't know what i was waiting on!...lol...and made up this little magnet!...just plop a plant in there...and you're sure to be the teachers pet!...

 

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME!

sometimes it seems that i forget i make soaps and other bath goodies...well..had to remember those skills when i friend of mine asked for "end of the little league season" gifts...and i guess i figured that soap and stinky atheletes go hand in hand...or at least it should!...lol...because this is what i decided to whip up!...

these little guys are fresh cut grass scented....just like the ballfield...and used the baseball solutions cart for the tag....i'm thinking i hit a homerun on this one!...

NEW FRIEND FRIDAY

so...i saw this over at the girl creative and thought how much fun would this be to try out!...you know...get out there and meet tons more bloggy friends...so head over to her site to see how it works!...

QUITE POSSIBLY THE CUTEST PAPER...EVER!

so...i was at joann's picking up some tulle...and ended up getting 4 stacks of paper...not sure how that happened!...lol...anywho...came across some heidi grace designs paper...omg!...this paper is so freaking adorable!....wish they had more...i would've snagged  it up!....just wanted to share!...i did alot of close ups because they have the tiniest prints on 'em...and i wanted to show you how cute they are!...hope i don't bore you!...
