Scrapbookaholic Challenge

Hello my friends!  I know it's been a VERY long time since I have posted anything!!  I'm sure your lives have been as busy as mine; isn't summer always that way?!!!!!!  This week at Scrapbookaholic by Abby the challenge is to create anything summer!!  When I hear summer, I think camping.  With camping comes fishing. :)  Summer also means Birthday's for us.  We have one in May, one in August and mine is July.  So for the challenge I thought I would combine fishing with Birthdays. 

You can see that the little fish is hiding in the waves; when you pull it out you'll see that "Fishing you a Happy Birthday" is stamped on the back of the fish. :)

The waves are from Paper Doll Dress up.  I merged two waves together using my Gypsy and layered them using foam squares.  The fish is from Create a Critter. 

The sponsor for the challenge this week is Sakura of America, they make AMAZING Gel Pens.  I used the white gel pen on the waves as well as the fish.  We'd love to see you create something that represents summer!!!  Make sure you stop over at Scrapbookaholic By Abby to participate in the challenge, you'll also love to see what the other DT member have created (they are all AMAZING)!! :)

As always, thanks for stopping by, and make sure you join us for some fun at Scrapbookaholic by Abby!!!

Scrapbookaholic by Abby Challenge

This week over at Scrapbookaholic by Abby the challenge that we have going on is to create something with an animal and using the color orange.  The reason for that is because this month the ASPCA celebrates the 'Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month'.   So in honor of that I decided to make this cute little frame.  I know most people would have put a cut-out of a dog or cat, but I chose a deer.  We love taking pictures of them, so I thought it would be fun!

Recipe:

• Deer - cut from Create A Critter at 2.0
• Flower - no idea! :)
• String - you're guess is as good as mine
• Phrase - no brand name, just something my MIL gave me

I just put the phrase in there for now.  I have too many pictures that it's hard to decide what to put in it. :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!!!  Make sure you stop by Scrapbookaholic by Abby to play with us!!!!!!!

Flaunt it Fridays!

Wow!  Is it Friday already?!  I have no idea where this week has gone!  Anyone else have weeks like that?  I'm so excited for another Flaunt It Fridays challenge!!  This week the challenge is to use 3 Birds on Parade cartridge with the Disguise Bird.  Like usual, this is not a cart that I own.  I'm so glad we can use a similar cut (otherwise I wouldn't be able to participate in many of the challenges! LOL!)


For my DT submission I decided to use CAC for the little chick, and fortunately CAC also had a sunglasses cut. :)  I know it was supposed to be more of a disguise, but I AM READY FOR SOME SUNSHINE!!!!!  :)

Recipe:

• The chick was cut at 3.75 
• Flocking on the little belly (because I thought it would look cute)
• Hero Arts "Anyone Can Stamp" for the sentiment
• MS border punch
• Ribbon - not sure where it's from
• Misc. flowers and bling. :)
• Homemade pop dot on the beak (to make it stand above the glasses) 
• Scrap paper

I wanted to stick with a simple card.  Recently, I noticed that I kept wanting my cards to get bigger and better and more detailed; but realized that it doesn't need to be.  :)  Sometimes it's the cute and simple that are fun. :)  So even though it's simple, I still hope you enjoy it.


Make sure you stop by Flaunt It Fridays to see what the rest of the DT has planned.  You'll LOVE the creations, they are really amazing!!!  We'd love to have you Flaunt your stuff with us!!! 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

FIF Birthday Bash Bunny Blog Hop!

HELLO FRIDAY!!!!!!  Anyone else in need of a Friday?!  I'm so happy you're here (both you and Friday)!

Welcome to Flaunt It Fridays Birthday Bunny Bash Blog Hop!!! :)  I hope you came after visiting Amanda at My Scrappin Obsession.  Didn't she do such a great job?!  She's so talented!!  If you just happened to visit my blog for the day, make sure you start at the beginning at Flaunt It Fridays. :)  You'll want to make sure you visit everyone and leave a comment at all of the blogs to be eligible for the Grand Prize - a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed assortment!  YEAH!!!

On to my projects! :)

The first one isn't the prettiest thing, but I love the idea (I'm sure a lot of you can make it look even better). :)  This is my way of keeping track of annual events such as Birthdays and Anniversaries. :)

I kept this one super simple.  I used Create A Critter for the Bunny as well as for the present.  The ribbon and the frame were from my stash, I'm not sure where they came from.  I did use some flocking for the bunny (just to add a little bit to it).








I'm sure most of you are much better at remembering to send cards to family for Birthdays and Anniversaries!  After school started, I saw a bunch of these 3x5 card holders on sale for less than a dollar.  They've been sitting in my 're-porpose' box calling my name. :)  I came up with this idea to help me keep organized.  I printed off all of the annual events on 3x5 cards.  I also made the labels for the separators for each month and one for addresses (because I can never find them when I need them).  Very simple, yet very helpful.  It makes it very nice to be able see what is coming up within the next month and making the card a little early to get it sent on time. :)

For my second project we were supposed to make something using a different cut from Birthday Bash.  Looking through the images online, I found a cute little snail that was holding an envelope. It inspired me to make this card.

 I used Base Camp for the card shape (to look like a stamp).  The snail is from Walk In My Garden, and the grass is from Paper Doll Dress Up. :)  I inked around the grass, the snail and the base paper to give a little bit of dimension.  The stamped message is a My Pink Stamper stamps.

Enough of my jabbering!!!  I do have a small surprise for one person.  All you need to do is leave me a comment telling me how you keep the important annual dates organized; I'd love to hear!!!!  You don't need to be a follower friend, but I love friends! :)

Spring Forward Blog Hop

Hello my wonderful friends!!!!!!!  Welcome to the Spring Forward Blog Hop.  

I'm so happy you are here!!!!!  I hope you are here after visiting Carrie at Double Click Connections - AKA A Busy Bee - I know, she's amazing isn't she!!!!!!!  I just love her work!!  If you happened to stop by here first, make sure you start at the beginning of the hop with Lora at Notes from the Scrapbooklady!  You'll want to stop by all the blogs and leave comments to be eligible for the main hop candy. :)

This hop is themed around Easter or Spring.  Well, I did a little bit of both. :)  For those of you that know a little about me, I often 'craft' with my little ones.  So, for the first project I went for Easter themed and had a 'little' help.  Every year we do a scavenger hunt for my little ones **by we, I mean me - I get to create the hints because hubby can't rhyme to save his life**.  :) LOL!  This year I decided to let my little ones help (and they didn't even know it).  

I printed off eight egg shapes (using word) and had my little ones color them.

We then cut out the eggs (with child friendly scissors of course).

I also created and printed off the hints and put them on the back of the pretty colored eggs.  Now they're ready for me **Easter Bunny** to hide. :)

My second project was a fun little Easter/Spring card.  

This beautiful little chick was cut at 2.5 along with the egg.  The nest was cut at 1.5; all images were from Create a Critter.  The background paper was a single that I had, so I don't know the brand; the rest of the papers were scraps.  The stamp is an older one, so I'm not sure who made it (again, sorry)!  I put some flock on the belly of the chick (for added dimension).  I also added some Glossy Accents to the beak to make it shiny.  Now what is a card without a little bit of bling. :) 

I love to be in blog hops because I get to give things away. :)  Since I wish everyone could win, I decided everyone could.  I've decided to give everyone a PDF copy of the Easter Basket hints and the eggs to color.  Click here to download it. :)  I know most of the hints are fairly simple (for younger children), but I am more than happy to help anyone think up some rhymes for your own scavenger hunt.  If you'd like help, just leave me a comment asking for help.  I hope you enjoy these!!

Now that you've seen my projects I'm going to send you on to visit Karel at One by One the Flamingos are Stealing My Sanity.  You'll love what she has in store for you!!!!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Guest Post on The Purple Scrappbooker

I am so excited!!!!!  Jen at The Purple Scrapbooker let me do a guest post on her blog today.  I'm so excited (yeah, you'll hear me say it several times)!!!! The only thing Jen wanted was something with the color purple.  After some thought I decided on this card. :)

This one was a lot of fun to make.  I have all of the info over on Jen's blog (click here to visit Jen).

Before you run away, I just wanted to share one more thing. :)  Today is my anniversary!!! :)  Six years ago I married this wonderful man!!!! (Isn't he handsome!!!)  I'm so thankful for everything he's done for me (and our little ones) and the great years that we've had (with many more to come)!!!

In celebration of my anniversary and the opportunity to do a guest post on Jen's blog, I'd like to give away a copy of a clean romance novel called 'Catch the Morning Star'.  It was written by Ruth Davidson, who happens to be my wonderful Aunt (love you Ruth)!!!  You can check out more about her books by clicking here.  Her books are beautiful and clean and make your heart smile!  Just leave a comment here telling me about your loves and I'll pick a winner on March 14.

Again, big thanks to Jen!!!!  I'm so happy I got to do a guest post!!!  Thanks so much!!!  

**Don't forget to go check out the directions for the card at Jen's blog, The Purple Scrapbooker!**

To my hubby - Happy Anniversary my LOVE!!!!!

To everyone - Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!!  I'm really glad you did!!! :)

Snappy Birthday Pampa!!!!

Hi Friends!  I hope everyone is doing well!! :)  This card was made for my Dad's Birthday. 

  Sorry about the shine, it is very shiny paper and I just couldn't get the light to work with me. :)

My little ones wanted to help make a card for 'Pampa' (and of course, I let them).  My son picked out the crab (because, according to my son,  Grandpa likes red just like he does).  My daughter picked out the blue and brown paper (because it's pretty).  My son started asking what my Cuttlebug does (even though he's used it several times); so we decided to send some brown through it to make sand and add dimension. :)  My daughter wanted to make the whole crab sparkle with Stickles, but I convinced her to just do the cheeks.  The crab is from Create a Critter and was cut at 3.5 (I think) and the stamped phrase is from My Pink Stamper (love these stamps!!!)

I'm so glad you took the time to stop by!!! :)

Oh, What a bad friend!!!!!

I felt so bad.  I was looking at my fridge and realized that I missed one of my friends Birthday's.  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!  I felt terrible (let's be honest - I'm terrible with Birthdays).  I made this card for her.  I wanted to type the sentiment, but I didn't have time (I was running into town and knew that I could stop off at her house before she went to work).

I stamped the swirls on the front of the card (just to give it a little something).  I can't remember where the card cut came from, but the frog was from Create a Critter; and what is a frog without googly eyes?!!!  :)  The bling on the front was given to me by Albert @ A.Go's Craftomonium.  He is so creative, and such a sweetheart!!!  I thought they worked perfectly for this card.  The rest of the paper is from my scraps pile. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!  Have a great day!!!! :)

Birthday Cards

I can't remember if I've mentioned it before or not, but I'm helping my Mom out with Birthday cards.  She is in the Relief Society presidency in her Ward (she helps with the ladies in our Church).  They wanted to have personalized Birthday cards for all of the ladies in the Ward (Church group).  My Mom asked me if I would help since they don't have anyone that is willing to help; of course I said yes.  Here are a few that I made.  What do you know, I decided to enter them in for My Pink Stamper (Robyn's) Birthday (click here for the post).  I hope you like them!  All of the cuts are from (of course) Create A Critter and are all cut at 2.  The phrases were computer generated.  I had to make around 30 cards, so I made them as easily as I could.

They are very simple, but personalized.  I hope they put a smile on their owners face!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! I'm so glad you took the time! :)

Flaunt It Fridays post

I am so happy to do this post today!!  I love being part of the Flaunt It Fridays DT!!  These ladies are amazing, and we love having everyone craft along with us!!!

This week on Flaunt It Fridays we are using the Paper Pups cartridge.  It is the border feature with the cat and dog on page 104.  Since this is another cartridge I don't own (unfortunately) I went to my default cartridge; Create a Critter.

I went through so many phrases and sayings and ended up just leaving it blank. :) Here's another picture of what it looks like partially open. :)

 Ok, so here's what I did.  Using my Gypsy I used a rectangle (5.5 x 8.5) and welded the shadow of the cat and dog to it.  I then I scored at 2.25 in from each side.

 I added the pattern paper on the outside.  I then added the animals (cut at 2.0) to were they need to be

 

I added the inside.  Used a MS corner punch and inked the edges.

It's very easy; you could easily make it without a Gypsy.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Make sure you join us at Flaunt It Fridays!!!  I'd love to see what you come up with!! :)

A Few of My Favorite Things Blog Hop

WELCOME!!!!  I'm so happy you were able to stop by!!! :)  Welcome to A Few of My Favorite Things blog hop (go ahead, you can sing the song)!!! :)

I'm hoping you came after visiting Erika at Cricut Love; I know you loved her project!!!  If you happen to just stop by make sure you start at the beginning with Kassidy at Inking it Up Crazy.  Truth be told, all of the crafters on the hop are SOOOOO talented, you won't want to miss a thing!!!! :)

So for my project I made a card.  I'll show you what it is and then explain 'My Favorite Things'. :)

Isn't she cute?!  This cute little card was made using some of my favorite things and actually picked out by one of my favorite things. :)

• My little girl (one of my favs) picked out the little lamb.  It is from my favorite (so far) cartridge - Create a Critter. **Cut at 2.41 on my Gypsy - which is another favorite tool.**
• I used some flock on the white part of the wool (close-up below) which is a fun favorite addition.
• The face is (yep, you guessed it) a Peachy Keen Princess face - I LOVE PK Stamps, they are a favorite!
• I used the Xyron technique (click here to see that step by step) for the hair bows.  A Xyron, Glitter and Glossy Accents are 3 favorites that work really well together. :)
• I used pop dots so that my little lamb would stand out (like the bling and the cute face didn't do that enough). :)
• I used my Zig glue pens to adhere the parts of my little lamb; Zig pens are an ULTIMATE FAVORITE!!
• I used Stickles to add bling to the hearts; because I love a little glitter added to my projects and Stickles are a favorite!
• The stamped phrase is a My Pink Stamper stamp - one of my top favorite stamp sets.
• The ribbon is one my favorites; it is from American Crafts.
• I used a white pen to add a little to the PK face and to do the stitching/doodling. I'm not the best at it, but I LOVE how it looks!!
• The background paper (light green with polka dots) has some glitter to it and is from one of my favorite stacks from My Mind's Eye! :)  Another one of my Favs! :)

Here's a close up of the little lamb. :)

Well, these are a few of my favorite things (HAHAHA - I couldn't help it)!!!!  On to my blog candy.  :)  I'm giving away a few spools of my favorite ribbon as well as some chunky glitter. :)

All you need to do is leave one comment letting me know which of my favorite things is also one of your favorite things (or in your top favorites).  You'll need to have a US address; sorry, I can't afford to have it shipped outside the US (unless you would like to pay the difference). :)  One comment only, please.  Don't worry about being a follower friend, it is NOT required.  If you like my style or just want to click the follow button - I would love to have you as a FRIEND!!! :)  I love having friends! :)  If you'd like, I'd love it if you'd leave your blog address as well; it's always fun to visit others (especially if they take the time to visit me)!!! :)  That's it.  I'll pick a winner next week.

Flaunt It Fridays and a HELLO!!!!!!!!

Hello to all of my friends!!!!!!!!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (or any other holiday you celebrate).   We had a great time, the hubby had the 24th and 25th off so we were able to spend some time with him (he works so hard - we take what we can get).  We had some of our family come over later on Christmas day and (luckily) I had enough food for everyone.  My little ones wanted to go to my In-laws' house and my Mother-in-law was nice enough to take them; lucky me - I get to have a little bit of me time.  :)  I'm so glad (thanks Mother-in-law)!!! 

With my 'me' time I decided to participate in Flaunt It Fridays challenge.  The challenge is to use the turtle from Create a Critter.  They also challenged to make something other than a card.  Well I used the turtle; I made a card that has a gift card (or money) holder inside.  The turtle didn't turn out exactly as I wanted (the colors didn't quite work right), but it's still cute.  I had a wonderful friend send me a set of Peachy Keen stamps (EEEEEEEK - LOVE THEM)!  I stamped half of the face on it; I thought the face turned out super cute!!  I cut the clouds out by hand and inked the edges with silver (I know, it's a little hard to see it).

 (below) - picture of the inside to hold a gift card

For the gift card holder part I glued the bottom of the pink paper (so the gift card wouldn't fall out the bottom); and then attached the four corners.  All of the paper I used was from my scrap box, so I'm not sure of brands (sorry).  If you have a chance stop by Flaunt it Fridays to check out the challenges (they're so fun)!!! :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I'm so glad you did!!!!

Best Card for Little Sis! - Religious

This post is Religious - if it bothers you . . . just look at the picture. :)

I also forgot to show you this one!!!!  I've mentioned before that my little sister is serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Buenos Aires.  My little ones and I were able to go visit my family before she left.  In our church the leaders usually ask the person getting ready to leave for a mission to speak in church before they go; so we were able to hear her speak!!!  My little sister was so nervous that morning (actually most of the week), but she did an AMAZING job!!!!  Her talk was very touching!  She spoke about the fire of testimony and how it starts with the little spark in your heart; she talked about how it can grow and what can help to fuel the flame.  For a 22 year old woman to give a talk like that . . . well, let's just say I was a very proud older sister!!!!  So I ended up making this card especially for her to let her know how proud I am of her!! **Did I mention my sister loves pink and brown together, and polka dots are her FAVORITE!!** :)

This was cut from the Create a Critter cartridge (yes, again) cut at 3.5 (I believe; I didn't save it, sorry).  Of course I added stickles to it :)  The purple ribbon is actually something that I got from the very talented Nicole at Primped in Paper.  She is so talented, you should go tell her I say hi (and check out her creations while you're there). :)

Thanks for stopping by!!!!!

Another Deep Breath and Good News

I promised to show these pictures.  These are a FEW of the cards that I sent my little sister!  She's serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and loves to give cards.  Well, I don't have much to give; but I knew I could help with the cards!  I ended up making around 100 different cards for her.  She should have received them (hehehe - she had no idea they were coming)! :)  It's not the best picture, but you get the idea. :)

I also gave a few similar ones to my Mom, hehehe - she didn't know it was coming either! :)

**The hehehe's can also be read as mwahahahaha (evil scientist laugh); either laugh is appropriate!** :)

After all of that fun stuff I can't tell you how frustrated I am.  I was watching my little girl sing during our Church  Christmas party (so cute).  When I got a text from a friend (thanks again - you know who you are) letting me know I had won some blog candy (YEAH!!!!!!)!  So I got home and got online and find out that I won it from the wonderful and talented HoneyB.  You really have to see her - she is AMAZING (click here for her blog)!!!!!!!  As I start reading through I question why in the world did I not see this a few days before.  I'd been doing better at commenting and reading blogs (I was terrible there for a little - sorry - again working on sisters' cards).  I finally figured out that all of the blogs that I had 'followed' over the weekend were not showing up on my reader list.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I ended up going back through the hops that I participated in and that I had hopped along for the ride so that I could re-follow them.  Has anyone else had that happen?!

So I have to say to those I hopped with and those others that I came to visit - I'm sorry!!  I really thought I was following, it just didn't work for some reason. Ok, I think I'm done (for now). :)

Thanks again my wonderful friend (again-you know who you are *LISA*).  Thanks to HoneyB I am so excited for that cartridge (I REALLY wanted it)!!!!!!!!!! :)  I also want to say a BIG THANKS to my new followers friends!!!!  I'm so glad you stop by, and I'd love to see your work!  Ok, I really think I'm done for now. :)  Thanks for stopping by (and listening to my ramblings)!!! :)

A Few More Birthday Cards

Those that know a little about me or have hopped with me know that my little ones have a lot to do with my cards.  I am first and formost a Mommy!  Well, the following three cards are very simple (VERY, VERY SIMPLE).  I must appologize for the . . . interesting color schemes.  These cards were made for my family and so it means the world to my children to pick the colors and design the cards.

This one is for my youngest brother.  My little boy designed it and wouldn't let me put anything else on it.  Made using Create A Critter.

This one was made for one of my Aunts.  She's very special to me, and has a very special place in the heart of my daughter.  So of course my little girl designed this one.  She let me add a little bling to it, but not much else.  This little lady is from Walk in My Garden.

This one is for my Niece.  She lives in Canada so we don't get to see her very much, but she happened to be down for a little over a week.  She loves the Twilight series (which is the reason for the Apple), and the butterfly is because my little girl wanted it on there.  Again, my children picked the paper.  Well, what do you do?! :)  Both are from Create A Critter.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  I'm so glad you did, and I hope it put a smile on your face!!! :)

Happy Birthday

Within the first two weeks of this month I've had 5 Birthdays and 1 Anniversary.  To add to that I had a neighbor ask for 12 Thank You cards for some people that work for her husband.  I was able to get the Birthday and Anniversary cards done (pictures will come) and I'm working on the Thank You cards.  To top it all off, my little sister is leaving on an LDS mission.  She's going to be serving in Argentina and is leaving today.  So Sunday was a very big day for my family; by tradition we have all of the family gather along with very special friends.  We were fortunate enough to have a lot of people help with food for the gathering of friends and family on Sunday, when you come from a family as big as mine (my mom is the oldest of 15 children and that makes me the oldest of 80+ Grandkids).  To help my mom out I told her I would make a bunch of Thank You cards for her to give to family and friends that brought food, and more for my sister to Thank people for coming and supporting her.  So until I get the rest of the card posted I'll show you one that my little girl helped with!  This is for my Mother-in-law's Birthday.  Enjoy!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by (I'm so glad you did)!  Have a wonderful day!!! :)

80's Blog Hop Day 8 - Final Day!!

Today is the last day of  Raven's 80's blog hop (I'm almost sad)!!  The hop was to celebrate Raven's Birthday and it's been sooooo much fun (I hope you've had as much fun as I did)!!!!  

So for one last 80's blast-from-the-past I sort of took a couple different things and made them into one last card.  The 80's where all about neon colors (which is the reason for the color scheme), since it was Raven's birthday I had to have something in for that (PARTY!!!!!!!!!), and last but not least I chose this cupcake because another thing I remember about the 80's was Strawberry Shortcake!!!!!!  I know - shortcake, cupcake and I should have at least but a strawberry on the card instead of a cherry!!!!! :)  Alright, well I guess that's stretching it a little with Strawberry Shortcake, but at least it has the 80's colors, right?!  :)  I still think this little cupcakes cute.  So join in with me in thanking Raven for hosting such a fun blog hop!!!!!!!!  Thanks Raven - I hope you had a great Birthday week!!! :)

Of course this little lady is from Create a Critter.  I know, I know - but it's one of my new cartridges!!! :)  I'm just loving it! :)

80's Blog Hop Day 7

Today is Day 7 of  Raven's 80's blog hop and it's totally AWESOME!!  **I'm posting every day until I announce the winner on November 5th, comment on each post for more chances to win the blog candy!**

**WARNING - before scrolling down you may want to put on some sunglasses! :)**

At least I warned you. :)  Today's post is dedicated to all of those that had (or have *no judgment*) a MY LITTLE PONY!!!!!!!!  Come on!!!!  You remember these, right?  There were some with color changing hair, sparkly hair, glittered bodies, EVERYTHING!  I loved playing with them, and now my little girl has a few.  I actually thought this card would be cute for my little girl to give one of her friends.  My little girl LOVES giving cards to all her friends, family and anyone else that even smiles at her (Gee - I wonder where she gets that from?*sarcastic!*). :)  I think any little girl would have fun with this one (especially with all of the sparkle).

The pony is from Paper Doll Dress Up, but the rainbow/heart is from Create a Critter.  I used a marker to trace the cuts and used the non-brand Stickles for anything and everything on the pony.  The stamp is from My Pink Stamper (LOVE THEM) and the purple paper was punched using an MS punch.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!  I hope you've been having as much fun as I have!!!!!

Today is Day 5 of  Raven's 80's blog hop and it's totally AWESOME!!  **I'm posting every day until I announce the winner on November 5th, comment on each post for more chances to win the blog candy!**.

One of my favorite gifts I received from Santa when I was little was a Care Bear (does that give away my age?!)!!  I actually held onto it and now it belongs to my little girl. :)   I love how this one turned out! 

 The bear is from (yeah, go ahead and roll your eyes) Create A Critter.  I trimmed the shadow, she normally has a skirt/dress on.  I actually tried using the flocking stuff on her snout and belly.  I'm not sure what I think, but I'd love to hear your HONEST thoughts!!!

Make sure you check out these wonderful ladies (if you haven't already)! You may have to scroll down to see their creations for the blog hop!!!
