Hey everyone, if you haven't checked out my YouTube in a while Episode 5 of my DIY Wedding Series is up!
I haven't posted any videos as of late simply because I am not sure what other DIY Wedding projects I can share with you from start to finish. Many of my other DIY Wedding projects I created for my wedding are either detailed, time consuming or both, so it would be nearly impossible to share with you my step by step process. However if you have any other video requests, let me know and I can see if there are any that I can do. I hope you all are having a wonderful Friday and that you will have an even better weekend.

DIY Wedding Favors
Hey all, I FINALLY added a new edition to my DIY mini wedding series. I know that I am not the best video poster, but I still hope you love my videos all the same and hope that one day I will get better at posting videos on a more regular basis. I think filming and posting my DIY wedding series videos are harder for me because my wedding has come and gone and trying to find all of the supplies I used to create all of my wonderful little DIY projects can be quite hard to find if not impossible. With that said, I still hope that you have enjoyed what videos I do have and that they help inspire you to create unique things for your own wedding or events. I look forward to creating more videos for you in the future and hope that you have a wonderful Thursday!!

First Ever Altered Canvas
Hey all, I know that it has been a while since my last post, however, I really wanted to share with you my first ever altered canvas!! :)
Here it is!! What do you think? I have to say, it definitely took some time and a bit of thinking out of the box for me, but I LOVE how it turned out!!
What inspired me to create this small piece of art was my Aunt Cindy and Uncle Jeff...a few years back they began drifting apart and unfortunately ended up divorcing, however as time went by, they re-discovered the love and respect that they once had for one another and decided to get married again :) So yesterday, June 15th, 2013 they got re-hitched. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to their wedding because they live so far away, instead I decided to make them a small altered canvas, that I hope will remind them every time they look at it to "cherish every moment" they have with one another and to remember that marriage is hard work and that there are going to be ups and PLENTY of downs, but to always remember to love one another and know that TOGETHER anything is possible. But I hope that you like it as much as I do...oh, and here is the matching card I made to go with it

New Video
Hey all just wanted to let you know that Episode 3 of my mini DIY Wedding Series is up on my YouTube channel. I am going to apologize ahead of time for the audio, I don't use my nice camera for filming very often (which I hope to change in the future) so I am not really familiar with where all of the mics are, so you will hit patches of muffled sounds, so I am very very sorry about that, but I hope to do better in the future. I do hope that you enjoy the video and that it gives you a lot of inspiration :)

Valentines for my Valentines
Alright, so I admit that two postings in one day may be a bit over kill, but I did want to quickly share with you some of the valentine cards and a valentine gift I put together for the valentine's in my life (i.e. Mom, Dad, and my Hubby)
So these two valentine cards are going to my parents, the card on the left is for my dad, I didn't want to make anything too girly for him, so I stuck with something a bit more basic. I believe that I cut the mail box and the envelope from the Doodlecharms cricut cartridge (sorry, I can't remember the measurements). The card base itself was made from craft card stock, then I just made a simple layer of red card stock and a cute red and white print paper. I thought it turned out pretty cute and I hope that my dad likes it!
The valentine on the right I made for my mom, I have always wanted to try creating a slider card and I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to give it a go :) So once again the base card is craft card stock and for the layers I took again a red piece of card stock and layered on a cute red white and pink stripped paper on top. On the back of the red layer I traced and cut out a long sort of oval shape, thin enough to ensure that the pennies I was using for the slider mechanism would not fall out. I then cut out the cutest little owl from the Create a Critter cricut cartridge (once again, I can't remember the measurement)and adhered it to my penny slider and inserted it into the slot I cut, and viola, it spins like a charm :) I think that my mom is going to get a kick out of this card, I can't wait for her to see it. But we must also not forget that on Valentine's Day, chocolate is in order, so my parents will also be getting some chocolate treats to go along with their cute cards.
Ok, so this last photo is the gift basket that I put together for my hubby. I know the picture isn't very good, but it is the best I have. I spent quite a bit of time on my hubby's gift. On the card in the front I spent a great deal of time putting it together. I believe that the tree and the silhouette of the couple I cut from the Sweetheart cricut cartridge and the clouds were cut from the Create a Critter cricut cartridge. I of course wrote a sweet little note on the inside, however, there is also a little letter that I wrote to him that included all of the words of the candies I included in his gift basket. I don't think I will share the note with you, because, I would prefer that it remain just between the two of us. Lets just say that he loved his gift and I truly enjoyed putting it together for him, and getting to be creative at the same time.
Alright, so I guess I will leave it at that for today...but I do wish each and everyone of you (if anyone even reads my blog) the "Sweetest" Valentine's Day and that you get to spend it with the ones you love! (whether that be your significant other, friends, or family) Good bye for now :)

Finally another video!!
Hi all, I know that it has been forever since I have posted anything here on my blog, and every time I take a detour from blogging I always kick my self in the butt, because it seems like I never seem to stick to the things I set my mind to. I really really need to focus on my blog and my YouTube channel because I really do love sharing with others and hope to one day create a little creative online family, especially since I myself don't have any friends or family members who share my same interests or creativity.
But enough with me yammering (is that even a word?) on, I just wanted to let all of you know that I FINALLY filmed another video and uploaded it to my YouTube channel, this one is another Wedding DIY video. I know that in my last video I promised to share with you some of my own Wedding DIY's that I completed for my own wedding (which by the way was October 2012, I can't believe I have been married for over 4 months now!!) I hope that you enjoy the video and that it gives you some great ideas! I hope to talk to you all again very soon, have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!
