DJ's Sundries

Today I have a fun project that I made for my niece.  I have been swamped trying to get ready for Thanksgiving as well as preparing Christmas gifts for those family members I will be seeing over Thanksgiving.  (You have to save on shipping when you can, right?) To make this I used a small clipboard, some washi tape, 3 Girl JAM "Pink and Blue" bundle, Cricut Mini Monograms, and scrap from my stash.  I used some ruby ink from CTMH to ink around the monogram edges. Here's the video along with a quick crafty tip. Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to take a few minutes to enjoy the little things.

I must admit that I have been busier crafting lately than what it appears when looking at DJ's Sundries.  Please be patient.  I have a post scheduled for later in the week that will be my first official 3 Girl Jam Design Team post.  I am so happy with that project and how it turned out.  I think you will like it as well.  I am also working on another ATC posting.  These are far more elaborate than the others that I have posted and are taking me a little time to get finished.  They will be worth the wait though.  Thanks for bearing with me on these.  Once again, I have a very busy work week ahead and then I hope it will slow down for a while. Our little church has a new baby!  It is always exciting to see the Lord bless a church with new little ones.  I wanted to make a special gift bag for this little guy as well as a second one for a co-workers new son.  Here's what I came up with: Recipe: Teresa Collins Baby Boutiq...

Today I have a fun little card that I made for my niece's 1st birthday.  It was fun to create this card using Create-A-Critter and Doodletype.  TPC Studio's birthday stamps were perfect for the inside. Recipe - Georgia Pacific white card stock for the base DCWV - Nana's Kids Matstack for the polka dot and striped paper DCWV - Summer Days Card Stock for the lime green Scraps from my scrap stash for the cupcake die cuts and pink mat Chianti ink from Color Box Clear glitter glue from Studio G Pink Glitter glue from unknown source The video provides complete instructions. Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day.

Here is a mini album I created using the Planting Schoolbook cartridge and the Cricut Design Studio.  I used "Amazing You" stamp set by K. Andrew Designs.  You can click on the name of the stamp to find these great stamps.  This is one of my go to sets of stamps when I need to come up with great sentiments.  I also used lots of other products to create this album. I hope you enjoy the video.

I was downloading the pictures from my camera tonight and found these pictures of a clipboard I altered.  This was a simple project that I made for my daughter.  She is on staff at a Christian camp and I slid this into her suitcase before she left for Junior camp on July 4. Clipboard Front

Here's a special project I made for some friends.  Thanks for watching!

Today has been a very productive day.  All of the laundry is done (and most is folded and put away).  The kitchen is cleaner and a crockpot full of spaghetti sauce was made with the leftovers frozen.  We also sent out a mailing for the mission. Tonight I attended a baby shower for a co-worker.  She is expecting a little girl and I found a beautiful little dress for her, but I wanted to add a little handmade item with it.  It was time to pull out the "Mommy Quote" book again.  I ended up making 3 books by the time I was finished.  I will not go into the details on it as that was done in an earlier post ( Mommy Quotes ).  However, I wanted to let you know about some changes I made from the last post.

Yesterday, a friend posted on Facebook how she has mommy phrases that she never never thought she would say.  You know, phrases like, "petrified wood does not belong up your nose".  This made me think about a cute project idea.  I called it "Mommy Quotes".  Now my kids are getting old enough that there shouldn't be many more of those phrases in my life (I HOPE!!!).  I'll just have to settle on giving books to my friends whose kids are young.
