Welcome to the Hooo's Ready For Spring Blog Hop! 

 We are so happy that you could join us today! In case this is the first time you have joined us for a hop, let me fill you in. The lovely Heather Lynn, who absolutely loves owls, gets all of her friends together for a seasonal owl themed hop every three months. Since Spring is almost here we decided to share Spring themed or Spring colored projects this time around. Heather Lynn has put together an amazing line up for your viewing pleasure but wait there's more!

The wonderful Pinque Peacock is sponsoring the hop!!! So please be sure to head over to the PP blog and become a follower. Then, head on over to their Facebook page and see all of the beautiful items they have to offer! Here is the link...

Thank you Pinque Peacock! 

Heather Lynn will choose ONE winner next week! Okay now onto my project!!

I made this cute little tag in the beautiful colors of Spring.  If you visit me often either here or on FB then you know that I like to say "WOOT, WOOT" and I want you to know that every time I type it in I'm doing my little happy dance, lol.  So when you see it, just know that I'm raising the roof over here ;D

Now for the nitty gritty of this tag! I used a #8 tag and spayed it with Dylusions inks. Then I ran it through my Cuttlebug to emboss it and inked with TH Peacock Feathers. The little owl stamp is by Inkadinkado on the Gem Stone Birds set. The little frame is from Michaels. I made the stick pin and the smaller flowers are K and Company. The large pink flower, tulle and ribbons are from my stash and the sentiments are by Making Memories.

Well friends that's it for me!! Up next is my EXTREMELY talented friend Lisa of A Mermaids Crafts, enjoy!!

Here's the complete line up just in case you get lost along the way.

February PWP DT Blog Hop!!

Happy Friday & WELCOME to the February Paper Wing Production's Design Team Blog Hop!

If you've arrived here from Dana's Blog, then you're in the right place but if you just happened to stumbled onto the hop, please start HERE.

This month we’ve whipped up some “LOVE”ly projects and we’re even sharing the “Love”!  One lucky follower will win this fabulous blog candy AND the chance to be featured as a guest designer in a future hop!! 

For a chance to win, all you’ll need to do is:
Be a follower of the Paper Wings Productions blog The Aviary, visit each of the design team's blogs (including our guest designer) and leave a little bloggie love.  Then go back to The Aviary and leave a comment letting them you completed the hop.  For extra chances to win, just like the Paper Wings Productions Facebook page and/or invite your friends to the hop.  Then just come back and let us know!  Be sure to leave a separate comment for each of the additional entries.  The winner will be announced on Tuesday, February 5th on the Paper Wings Productions blog.

Ah....LOVE is definitely in the air and I'm having a blast playing with all of beautiful shades of pink, red and cream.  They've been my go to colors for all of my recent projects and this one is no exception :D  I created a beautiful little banner that can be used anywhere you'd like to add little Valentine's Day decor:

To create this banner, I used my Cricut Pretty Pennants cartridge.   I cut the canvas using banner 1 at real dial size 7.25".

Next I spritz the canvas using a polka stencil and Tattered Angels Viva Pink Glimmer Mist.  Once the mist was dry, I randomly stamped the PWP Writing Cling Stamp and the Eiffel Tower with Stazon.  Then I ran each of the banners through my sewing machine, stitching along the edges with red thread.

This cute little lady is from the Princess stamp set.  I did some paper piecing on her skirt, colored with Primacolor pencils and highlighted with Stickles.  The heart is cut with the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge and embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.  For some extra texture, I added white washed corrugated cardboard to the inside of the heart.

I added "ooh la la" and "Je Taime" from the Paris Stamp Set on each of the banners.

I cut all of the letters out of My Mind's Eye Lost & Found papers with the Cricut Script Font cartridge.  Each of the letter are cut at 5" and shadowed with black cardstock.

To dress up my banner, I added scraps of red fabrics and ribbon.  I also added some clear beaded trim and the banner is hanging on jute string.

I hope you liked my Valentine's Day Banner!  Be sure to head on over to Tara's Blog next, she has a BEAUTIFUL project to share that you won't wanna miss!!

Hello My Love - Card

Hey there friends!  I've got a new card to share with you today.  I completed this one last night and planned to share it early this morning but omgosh.....I woke up feeling like death.  Thankfully my DH stayed home to help with my grandson and I'm starting to feel better now.  (Thanks honey, love you)

Okay now onto my card ;D

I actually made this card to enter into the Simon Says Black, White and another color challenge but I missed the deadline (hate when that happens).  I chose to use black, white and red.  Boy this was harder to do than I thought it would be.  I guess because I love playing with the whole box of crayons and love loads of contrast.

For this card I started by cutting Card #2, Layers from the Sentimentals Cricut Cartridge from white cardstock.  Next I cut black cardstock for my base and stamped it with a Metallic Pearl Dabber.  I believe the stamp I used is Inkadinkado.  I stamped the white cardstock with two shaded of red Colorbox ink and a Recollections stamp.  Then I inked it with Tim Holtz distress inks in Fired Brick and Festive Berries.  I also ran it through the sewing machine to add an extra little detail.  I added some glitter embossed swirls for a little framing and doodled around the edges.  I finished this off with some inked ribbon, a charm, sticker letters and a heart cut with Cricut Accent Essentials.  I also ran it through the swiss dots embossing folder.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and WELCOME to my newest bloggie friend Mallrat!!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!

The Aviary: Where you can find us this weekend!!!

I'm so excited to be joining Carrie, Liz and Beth over at Stamp Antonio this weekend for my very first PWP event.  Here is a sneak peek of the ornament I did for one of the FREE make and take projects.  Follow the link below for all the event details and to see the complete project ;D

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!

Christmas Hanger

Hello, Hello friends!  How has your week been going?!  Well I hope it's going better than mine is.  

***DISCLAIMER: I'm about to do a little venting, so just skip to the next paragraph if you're not interested ;D*********

To say that my week has been stressful would be an understatement right now.  My dad had surgery this week but I couldn't go see him because my son came down with a sinus and ear infection.  So while he was in surgery, I was at the doctor with my little one.  Then there were other major work and family stressers that I'd rather not get into.  I did manage to get into my studio and cranked out two new projects.  You know what they say, crafting is cheaper than therapy, lol.   Yes, I know what you're thinking....whoa is me, lol.  I guess I just needed to get it off my chest a little, so thanks for listening ;D 

Okay, know for some crafting!  I completed an ornament that I'll be using as a make and take project for PWP on Sat.  I'll share a pic of that as soon as I can, but for now, here is the other project I finished last night:

This is a little hanger that I made using a chipboard album that I bought at the dollar section of Michaels awhile back.  I just punched a second whole so I could hang it.  

Here's a closer look at the beautiful PWP stamp I used.  You can find this stamp on these two sets: Jolly Old St. Nick & Saint Nick.  While I was working on my ornament, I ended up cutting a lot of circles in different sizes so I could figure out what would work best.  So I decided to try and use them up.  I ran the red circle through my Cuttlebug to emboss, then inked it up with some gold ink to add some more depth.  I was having trouble getting the white circle to adhere so I sewed it on.  Please excuse my wonky sewing, lol.  

Next I found the perfect die cut on my DIL's workspace, sorry don't know who it's by.  Originally I thought I was gonna make a card but the die cut just seemed to big.  That's when I started digging through my stash and found the chipboard album.  I covered it with mauve colored cardstock to keep with the Victorian feel of the stamp.  Then just outlined the edges with red stickles, added some ribbon and wa la, done :D

That's it my friends, thank you so much for stopping by!  

Have a beautiful day!!!!!
