CTO Challenge 23

I am so swamped with tumblers, water bottles, and wedding programs, that I barely have time to see the floor in my scraproom. Seriously, it was crazy in here. I just spent the last hour reminding myself that there is carpet underneath it all. Now it's fairly clean. In between wedding programs, I took a second to participate in the Blue & White Challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion.

I made a Christmas Party Favor:

I Give Myself Away

Last week, we celebrated a Special Occasion in my world. A very good friend was Ordained as a Youth Minister. As we ministered in dance to William McDowell's, "I Give Myself Away", you can't help but wonder what are you holding back on. What is keeping you from drawing nearer to God? The young lady singing at the end is the new International Church of Christ Youth Minister. Think about and let the song speak to your heart. So, are you wondering where the craft portion is? It's the program that was designed for the service. A FAN! Of course, it's my most used cricut cart to the rescue, George and Basic Shapes. Add some wire ribbon and a popsicle stick and tadaaaa!!! By the way, my cricut expression died while I was in the process of making these and I had to cut the remaining squares with a 12X12 trimmer.

TAGS, BAGS, BOXES, & MORE!!!

Our challenge this week at Platinum Scraps was to create anything from Cricut Cartridge: Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More. Please visit the above link to see what the other designers created.

I love cake boxes. How beautiful they look when stacked like a cake. They can by used for any occasion. I chose a baby shower. Let me know what you think.

ANNIVERSARY FAVOR TINS

As we wind down a beautiful holiday weekend, I am trying to gear up for the work week to come. I had 3 days off last week that were pretty much spent running errands for our weekend celebrations. My Birthday, Anniversary, and Housewarming, all in a one week span. I'm sitting here right now enjoying the delicious taste of bbq. Hubby did his thing on his new gas grill (1st time using one) and my girlfriend Chinita hooked up the yummy sides along with her mom's tasty potato salad.

Friday night, we had a dinner party with some married couple friends of ours and it was too much fun. It made our 10th Anniversary so special. On to the real reason for this post: The favors:





See the video below on how I put these together.
