Wall Sign

 This was this weeks craft project, that we started on Monday. I have been really busy and I finally got a chance to add the finishing pearls on it. I used Once Upon a Princess Cricut cartridge to cut out the foundation out of chipboard,which I purchased from ARC Paper. The Cardstock is from DCWV paper stack called Sweet. The letters I cut from Hello Kitty Cricut Font cartridge. The butterflies are from Martha Stewart punch. I punched 2  to make a fluttering butterfly. I added Stickles to the flowers along the bottom border and the the wings of the butterflies. I also added a Spring mix of Flower Soft for the body of the butterfly. The pearls are from good old Wally World (Wal-Mart). I am going to place this above the window, in front of my craft table.

The original one that I cut was to small, so I made one for my daughter to hang in her room. I hate to be wasteful, so this is what I came up with for her.

Corrina's favorite color is PINK. LOL

Easy Christmas Treats

This is a very simple Christmas treat anyone can make. This would be fun to do with the kiddies.

There are 3 simple ingredients to this yummy treat.

You will need Almond Bark, which you can get at Wal-Mart in the baking isle.

Candy Canes

Last but not least, Holiday Shaped Pretzel.

All the ingredients were purchased at Wal-mart.

You will need a glass bowl,soup spoon,tongs,cookie sheet and foil paper.

In the glass bowl brake 3 blocks of the Almond Bark, microwave it to melt it to a Ketchup consistence. Crush 2 candy canes so that they are tiny pieces. My husband used a hammer to crush the candy canes, Silly guy.

Once the Almond Bark is melted, add the crushed candy canes and mix well.

Line a cookie sheet with foil so it won't stick to the cookie sheet.

Now put the pretzels in with the Almond bark and candy cane mix and cover pretzels completely. With the tongs take them our and place them on the foiled cookies sheet, and wait for it to harden.

Now enjoy your yummy treat.

This would be a good treat to put in my Snowman goody bags.

I hope you all enjoy it, let me know what you think.

Corrina's Quilt

One of my other hobbies, other than Paper crafting is quilting. I am just learning how to do this new hobby. I made this for my daughter. I wanted it to look very feminine and pretty. I purchased the fabric at Wal-Mart. The pattern I used was a Dresden Wedge. I had to cut 240 wedges and then put them together to form the circle. I am very proud of this quilt. It took me about 2 weeks to do it. I still have not done the binding. For some reason I am intimidated. I do need to get over that and finish it so she can use it. I hope you like it.

This is when I started to put some pieces together to see how it would look.



This is after Di quilted the top for me. I just loved how it came out. She did an excellent job.

This is what it looks like from the back, Just a lovely as the front.

It has been done since September, I hope to do the binding in the next week, before I get my sons quilt back to finish the binding as well.
