This topiary was made for my sister in law Myrna. Turned out really cute and just the colors she wanted. Thank You Mary and Leo for making such easy, fun cut files. SVGCuts.com

These invitations turned out so cute! Utensil svg's are at SVG Cuts, An afternoon at Auntie Elaines kit. Replaced the squiggle in them with the letter J for my granddaughters name. I made the napkin on my Sizzix Eclipse machine. Measures 5 1/4 x 4 inches when finished. Made a band to go around the card that slides off. Inside flap tells you that she is turning 7. Stamped on the back with invite message. They fit perfectly in these brown bags closed with checkered paper run through the Xyron and addressed. Can't wait to make more decorations!!

Pink ombre deer horns

These ombre colored horns were pretty easy to make. My dad had this set in his garage so I asked to have them for a project. I had to boil and bleach the skull part and sand everything down. I then painted (using acrylic paint) everything white. You can't really see it in the picture but I used Martha Stewart glitter paint that i bought from Home Depot. I painted 2 coats of the pink from the jar for the skull. I put some of the paint onto 3 different plastic plates. In one of them I added a darker pink color acrylic paint, kept one original color and one with white acrylic paint. I started with the top of the horn and worked my way down to the skull. After I was finished I sprayed entire thing with Glossy sealer. My daughter has a pink room in her house, she has 2 boys so everything is blue and green. I made these for her special room and gave them to her for her birthday. If you have any questions leave me a comment. Thank You and enjoy!!

Gumball machine makeover

Originally saw this idea on Pinterest so when my daughter in law was going for the baseball theme in her sons bedroom I decider to make this for her. Very inexpensive and easy to use.
$1 store glass vase
Terra Cota pot w/base
Wooden knobs from Joann Fabrics
Red and white acrylic paint
E-6000 glue
Matte spray sealer

Paint pot and base with red paint. Paint wooden ball and wooden handle for knob white, the top ball I painted with red paint for the stripes. Used 2 coats. Spray with sealer, I used Matte finish. Glue glass vase onto bottom of pot with E-6000 and let dry. I did mine overnight but don't think you need to wait that long. Glue wooden parts on with the same glue. The base of the pot just sits on top of the glass vase so you can put what ever you would like in it. I used chocolate wrapped in baseball foil. I cut a slit in the handle and glued a penny into it to make it look like it was ready to turn.
She was so thrilled to get this. The box was made out of cardstock and the file I used to make it was from SVG Cuts box file. It held a photo album made by sister in law. I love their files and can size them to fit whatever I need it for.

Peg board make over

Didn't want to hang the pegboard and make it look like my dad's garage so I taped off a few lines and painted it with 2 different colors I already had in my stash. Lots of those!! Then I used my Sissix eclipse to cut some circles to paint over the stripes. Still kind of boring so I got out my stamps and stamped away. Couldn't have been easier.

This  clock was so much fun to make! It's for my sister in-law Myrna made out of her favorite papers. The file is from  SVGCuts.com 

Leo and Mary make the easiest files to make and a video to show how to put them together.
