April and May Dry Erase Menu

I decided to combine the months of April and May on my dry erase menu and use the quote "April showers bring May flowers" to build upon.

If you would like a background on my dry erase menu,

you can view my first blog post on it here:

http://ktscreativeinsights.blogspot.com/2013/01/dry-erase-menu.html

I used a Spring themed 12x12 scrapbook sheet for the background.

I then used a 8x8 sheet for the foreground.

I picked something that had some decoration but was mostly plain in the center so that the menu would be easily read.

I used my Cricut to cut out the letters for the headline

"April Showers Bring May Flowers"

and glued the letters on.

I used paper flowers to accent the headline and the 8x8 paper,

using glittered brads to hold them together and then glue dots to hold them to the paper.

That's our menu for the month of April and May! :)

Spring Time Necklace

I have had this gorgeous flower charm sitting in my box for awhile now.

Now that Spring is here I thought it would make a great Spring time necklace.

I started by picking three colors of seed beads to match the colors in the charm.

The charm is silver colored in background, with a gold color and bronze color for the flowers.

The flowers are accented with clear stones.

Pulling from those colors, I used grey/silver seed beads, brown/bronze seed beads, and yellow/gold seed beads. I strung one strand of each.

The strands are loosely braided together.

The necklace measures apx. 20" long (not including charm).

The charm is apx. 1.75" long, including the bail, and 0.5" wide.

It is a charm that is from one of the lines put out by Hirschberg Schutz & Co., Inc.

This necklace and more are available in my Etsy shop

My project is an Easter card that I made for my boyfriend
I like to make him a card for every holiday!

I kept this card fairly simple, focusing on the fun orange heart background.

I used my Cricut and the Give a Hoot cartridge to cut the bunny out.

I adhered chicken stickers that oddly resemble peeps! :)

They are kind of in a line, marching on for Easter, to go along with the title sticker, "Easter Parade".

Grunge Green

Without having much St. Patrick's Day themed items in my craft stash,

I had to get creative.

This time I wanted to use some of my green paper flowers.

I choose a paper that I thought would make them pop and went from there!

Bright, striped grunge background of greens, blues, and browns.

Green, Blue, and tan flowers decorate most of the card.

A few chipboard arrows, circles, and squares decorate around the flowers.

There is a small rectangle that reads "for you".

I love how this card turned out with a grunge look,

but yet still very bright and fun!

This card and many more are available in my Etsy shop

Enchanted Forest

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner!

Although I love the holiday, I do not have many crafting items relating to it!

I had to get creative to create a card for St. Patrick's Day!

When I think of St. Patrick's Day,

I think of little Leprechauns running through a magical forest,

chasing fairies and finding gold.

I had some pretty forest paper in my stash, so I used that to build off of...

The background is a forest scene.

The bottom right corner is adorned with green and yellow flowers, half-back pearls, and a decorated button.

There is a green flower with a half-back pearl in the upper lefthand corner.

Three half-back pearls descend down from there.

Three playful birds are stamped and colored then decorated with glitter beside the tree.

This card and many more are available in my Etsy shop

Skull 'Stache Set

Who doesn't love mustaches?

How about mustaches on skulls?

With top hats?

How about all of that in a Clipart file?

Cute skull set with different mustaches!

Four of them have top hats and four do not!

There are three different types of mustaches and one goatee.

You get eight skulls total and also get each mustache and goatee as a clipart file as well.

Available for purchase at my Etsy store

'Til Death Do Us Part

My first "official" Clipart listing!

As much as I love skulls and such, it would seem fitting that I did something in that theme.

With it being February I also went with a love theme.

Cute girl skull with heart eyes and a bow.

Boy skull with round eyes and a top hat.

They are situated on a heart.

Great for love themes, Valentines, punk, gothic, etc.!
