Valentines Day Card

HI everyone, it's that time again.  Time to show how much you love someone by giving them a card , flowers, chocolate (my favorite), or a Valentine exchange at school for your kids.

Today's card is featuring a Simply Betty Digi.  Her name is Rio and she loves chocolate as much as I do.

Little Rio is colored using My new Copic markers. This is my first year playing with these markers, heck for that matter even using these markers period.  I am pretty happy with the way she turned out.

The boarders are punched using a Martha Stewart Doily punch.   The hardware and little plastic flowers are from Stampin Up.

Glitter was used on her eyes as well as all around here.

The gorgeous had crocheted flowers to the right were purchased off of Etsy.  I  also have red and pink stick pins on there but not sure where I got them.

The cute sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Love Notes.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did making it.

Have a great February,
Meighen

Delightful Decorations

Other Stuff:
border punch (Martha Stewart)
cricut cartridge
glitter
ribbon (Stampin Up)

Bosses Day is on the 16th

HI everyone.  Welcome back for a fun new project that I know you will love.  As you may or may not know  Bosses week is October 16th this year.  My coworkers and I are celebrating it in style at the hospital where we work. As a little added special touch I decided to make a sign for my boss Marissa to hang on here door.  Luckily, we like our boss .  lol :D

Here is what you will need:

This chipboard,  (thin enough to cut on the cricut)
Hello Kitty Font (cut @ 1 inch i think)
pumpkin ink
stickles
glue
little roses
2 sizes of butterfly punches
Ribbon
bling
Gypsy

 The letters are welded together on the gypsy.
The paper was cut out 2 times in order to cover  the front and back.   The back just has white paper to cover the chipboard.  The edges were inked with the pumpkin and stickles were used to trace around hte edges.

I connected the 3 pieces of welded signage with ribbon using large glue dots.  The little roses were added along with the butterflies and bling as embellishments.



I hope my boss likes it and you get some inspiration as well.
Hugs and Blessings,
Meighen

Nana's Scrap Spot 2yr Blogaversary Bog Hop

Welcome everyone to Nana's Scrap Spot's Blog Hop.  We are all celebrating her two year blogaversary.  Isn't that super exciting? 

Happy Blogaversary to You , Happy Blogaversary to You, Happy Blogaversary to Nana's Scrap Spot, Happy Blogaversary to You and many moooorrrreeeeee.

Now, you should have come here from Maria's Blog.  If not you can start here with our hostess Miranda at   http://www.nanasscrapspot.com/.

For this hop, she has decided to make the hop theme a free for all/ anything goes project.  I have decided to alter another bird house.  

The birdie couple that moved in to the last one just love Halloween so  much that they decided to hang up the ghoulish decor early.  These birds works for a couple of days to get things finished.  I must say they really did an awesome job. They should come and decorate my house.  lol

They Started of by taking the other decor off of the wooden birdhouse and added a whole bunch of scrap Halloween paper around the exterior using Mod Podge.  After they let that dry they added a glitter coating of Mod Podge and a glow in the dark layer of  Mod Podge.  They wanted everyone in the bird community to see it at night too.

After all of the Mod Podge had dried, they wanted to add some fun fur to the outside edges of the roof with some glue and also some stickers and ghost punches.  The ridge of the roof has some black bling on it and was colored with a black marker.  Orange Stickles was used on the peak front and back, the opening into the bird house as well as the pumpkin on the side .
They did a great job with the decor.  I wonder if they will decorate for fall and winter or Christmas.

That concludes this tweet project.
