Special Delivery with Avocado Arts


Today the Pit Crew Too are sharing one last project using the Avocado Arts February set called Special Delivery! You can see the full set below...


 For my project...  I used my Cameo to cut a cute little happy meal style box. I stamped some AA goodness on it, assembled, filled with candy and added some twine! Easy Peasy! Something cute and 'sweet' to leave for a co-worker, spouse, or child... just because! How much better would your day be if someone did that for you? Sometimes the little things mean the most!

Make sure to go check out what these talented ladies have to show you today....

A Discovery Worth Sharing



While I was shopping in Staples the other day... I ran across some of this Creative Covering by Con-Tact. The packaging says it is Adhesive Covering and that it is Removable. Hmmm.... sure looks a lot like vinyl and it is a huge roll... 18 in x 24 ft. Luckily... a lawbreaker before me had opened a roll of the blue so.... since it was already open... I took a feel and it felt a lot like vinyl.

I took a chance and bought a roll.

So... the next day... I cut a shape (that the hubby purchased for me for Valentines Day... thanks honey!!) with my Silhouette Cameo and guess what... works just like vinyl! Score!!

 $10.99 a roll... I do believe I will have a few (at some point)! :) I have my eye on some blue and green. I also saw yellow but it looked too thin... you could see the backing paper through it.

The same day... I saw some wood grain rolls in Wal-Mart (same brand as in Staples)... in the shelf liner section. I don't think I would want that in my cabinets... but it might look cool as something cut from my Cameo!?!

Later the same day I made a stop at JoAnn's. They have some new (to my store) vinyl sheets for sale. While I LOVE the colors... a sheet of 13x19 (approx) vinyl is $3.99. Those will be great if you have a very specific project you want to do and have a half off coupon!

As for me... I am excited about my discovery! I feel like I can make lots of stuff for myself and/or others... without breaking the bank!

Peace and Love!

This Makes Me Happy



I found these ink sticks yesterday at Joann's! I didn't 'need' them... but at $4.99 each and with 2 - 50% off coupons... I had to bring them home! I can't explain how happy my heart was when I saw them... knowing how long I have 'needed' them!

They are part of the Smash line from K & Company in case you 'need' some too! :)

It is the little things...

Peace and Love!

Friends Forever



Today the entire Avocado Arts Pit Crew are sharing projects using the February kit called Special Delivery ... with a sneak peek of the super cute March kit called Spring Medley!



On my card... the sentiment is from the Feb kit and the peep style bunnies are from the March kit. I LOVE those bunnies. Those bunnies plus a few other images make the March kit one of my AA favs! I think you will love it too!

I kept my card super simple... one layer stamping! That is my favorite! :)

Make sure to check out what these other ladies have to share today! I am sure you won't be disappointed!

Happy Valentines Day




I wanted to share some cards that Carver and I made for a Valentines card drive. I thought it would be fun to stamp the images and let him color some. He was happy to be able and 'make' his own cards!

Happy Valentines Day!

Peace and Love!

Celebrate


I have not been a great blogger over the past year or so! I really really really want to do better! I am still trying to figure out a game plan... when I have time to think about it! :)

In an effort to get started... I thought I would share a card today that I made for my SIL last month.

She and I have had many conversations lately about Pinterest and home improvement projects. I thought this 'girl power' card would be appropriate for her birthday! 

BTW... don't forget that I have a lot of stamps for sale on my For Sale page! I have sold quite a few but I still have plenty left that I would love to send to a new home! :)

Peace and Love!!

I thought it would be fun to make a baby card using this image and sentiment. I didn't have great baby paper but when I ran across this paper... I thought this could be a non-traditional baby card or a birthday card so I went with it! :)

Make sure to check out the rest of the crew to see what they have to share!
