MCT Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hello Bloggy Friends!

It's been a long time since my last post. I've been on summer vacation for a week now and my kids will be out soon. Hopefully I will find more time to post things. I'm still crafting, but haven't found a happy medium when it comes to posting.

Anyhoo, I wanted participate in Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge. You have to use a cart with a frame. I chose to use Art Philosophy Cart bt Close To My Heart. I love this cart and got it free in March when I signed up as a consultant for CTMH. I love their products! Especially their stamps. I haven't had the chance to do much "consulting" but hope to in the near future. You can visit my site @ csanford.ctmh.com.

Back to my challenge project. I made a decorative frame for my daughter's preschool classroom in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. I used the Recess cart for the school supplies. I recently won this cart from Cricut Chick. I had never won a cartridge before, and I was sooo happy because this one was on my wish list. I used the Jubilee cart (I think) for the title. It was cut in vinyl. The red and white ribbon is from Stampin Up and all other ribbon is American Crafts. I plan to let my daughter take this to her teacher with a few other items tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!
I want to share the rest of my kids projects for Valentine's Day. I used the bubblegum and gift card die from Emma @ mycreative time to create these super simple treats for my girls. I used some tulle from the Dollar Tree and these came together in no time. Create a critter was used for the heart. The stamped sentiment is also from Emma as well. (As you can see, I have fallen in love with her products.) I used cardstock from Stampin Up and Colorbox. The patterned paper on my lollipop holders is from Colorbox too. The sentiment on these are a dollar stamp from Joanns I purchased last year. I made a total of 50 treats in all. Thanks so much for stopping by :)

First Post of 2012!

Hello Everyone,

I know I've been a bad blogger! No post for over a month! I really don't have much of a defense. I've been busy with life and although I've done some crafting, I just didn't feel like taking pics. Anyhoo, I'm back and have some Valentine projects to share. I have two daughters needing valentines, but my oldest found some in Walmart that she really wanted. I made my youngest some Minnie Mouse 3x3 cards. She LOVES Mickey and Minnie mouse and just knew she would love these. I used the Mickey Font cart for the Minnie head and bow. Elegant Edges cart was used for the mat behind Minnie's head.  I used Emma @ mycreativetime be mine heart stamp and sentiment in the inside.  I hope to upload some pics of my other projects tomorrow. Wish me luck. It took a long time to upload these pics.
