Dr Seuss Crazy

 

My son 7th birthday is coming up the end of May and the theme is Dr Seuss.  It is going to be awesome.  Red and white stripes everywhere. 

I seem to be going a little crazy with decorations.  Gotta Love Dr Seuss.  I have 10 apples on top, cat in the hat (of Course) , Lorax truffula trees.   I think I am a little more exciting then my son.  lol

It is going to be epic.    I am making a quilt for him and finally I have finished it.

Bargain

My husband picked up this odd shaped computer desk for my craft/sewing for only $20.  I can honestly say I had no idea where to put it but we managed to fit it in.

 

 It is great.  I have all my sewing and scrapbooking all together. Since is was a  computer desk it has the part under the desk (where the keyboard would usually go) has my cricut mats and my quilting mat, a place to sort my laptop and a still room for a little basket for bits.  I love it.

 

 

   Having the iron set up right next to the machine was so handy.  I just had to turn my chair.  Here is the finished product of my cricut cover.  Very happy with it. 



Thanks Glen for all the extra bits you did to the desk to make it exactly the way I wanted.

At Die Cuttin Divas they are having a challenge of using recycled material.  I think that this is classed at recycled.  The recycled material is actually the  drawers. We got them from an op shop for $5. Bargain.    A new paint job and then decorate.

 

I used the TinkerBell cricut cartridge and vinyl from my stash. All five tinkerbell fairies are no the drawers.   I had so much fun doing this.  Caitlin loves it.

 

This is my favourite part.  I love these mushrooms. 

So go and check out the other fantastic work with recycled materials at Die Cuttin Divas.

Wow  I had so forgotten about my blog.  Time to update and get creative. It feels good to be able to get back to crafty everything seemed to get lost for a while.  So welcome back.   Have some awesome projects to show you all. 

NOW LETS GET CREATIVE

This is my most recent masterpiece. It is so awesome.   I did up a new rules poster. I wanted something different, bright, and fun to look at.  So out came the cricut and boy did she get a huge workout. lol   Some of my favourite bits.  (Especially the no bed hopping)

Finished product.  I just love it and so does the family.  Our oldest wanted the minion bees.  So cute.

Mickey Ice Cream

There were a couple of challenges coming up that I thought I might enter this layout it.  One is from the Disney/Pixer Blog hop which happen last week.  Layout can be entered into Crafty Chic's Blog and I have also linked it to Love to Crop challenge on using scraps. This page was done mostly with scraps and my daughter even found the black mickeys shapes in my stash.  The bottom is for the journalling.

You just cant go to Disneyland and not have a Mickey mouse Ice cream.  Yummo.

Leaves the fun up to us.

Over at Love To Crop there is a challenge for fall.  Here is my entry.

We were having a BBQ and all these leaves were on the deck.  So they had to sweep the deck. The only time I could get them to do that. lol  The kids got it all in a huge pile and ready set go......  they all jumped.  They played in it for ages, jumping - scooping up the leaves - jumping again.

Better then any party games.

Party time

Today we had the party but with me being really busy, we only had a couple of friends over  It was going to be at the park but it rained and rained.  So a change of plan was needed.  Since it was at a park I didn't organise any games figureing the kids can just play so when it rained I had nothing planned to entertain the kids coming to the party.  So I grap 5 door hangers out of my supply and covered them.

So these were put on the table with heaps of stuff and told to go for it.  They had a blast.  These are the results.  A bunch of very talented up and coming scrappers.
