So, today is the last day of our hop! I had so much fun creating these fun projects for Candace, Ann and Michelle. I didn't tell you all before but this hop is the main reason I started my blog. Jessica came to all of us about 1 month ago and asked if we would like to be part of this hop. I so badly wanted to do it but then at the same time almost thought of declining the invitation. Blogging is.....or should I say, WAS so intimidating to me. I wanted to start a blog for a very long time and this hop was the perfect reason to just start it. So thank you to Jessica too, for getting me into gear and giving me a very good reason to start blogging.
 
I saved the best for last ;) (yes, I'll hear from Michelle about that one, HEHE) Ann, you are the reason I finally bugged about getting my Silhouette Cameo. I just had to have one, and finally got it for Christmas. You really help tie all of projects together with your files. I remember last year when I saw JB's Sweet Birthday Wishes set and I fell in love with the lil girl image you created for them. I looked you up and saw that you have the SVG cutting files. At that moment I knew I had to have a machine that would help me cut out your files. You are very talented. I just love that you are paired up with Michelle and Candace. Your products compliment each other so well. So thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
 
Here is the special treat I made for Ann.
 Products used in my project today are Monster Bash SVG cutting file from Ann's store. JB products clear purse, dainty topper die, candy charms & banners die, mini tag dies, valentine dies, wedding candies and Monster Mash stamp set.
 
Thank you so much hopping along with us today. I was honored to participate and help shower Anne, Michelle and Candace with love in this fun hop. Happy crafting, Sara!!!!!

For today I wanted to make a tag treat for Michelle. Michelle ships out all of our packages for us. I must say, I have never received customer service before like the ladies at Jaded Blossom and SVG Cutting files gives. I have emailed them all on different concerns or questions and they are right on top of responding and helping as best they can.

I created a mailman tag. This super cute mailman is from Anne's STORE I used tons on JB products, you can find all of them HERE. For this tag I used the Treat Tag Die, I added some Candy Charms & Banners Die along with Mini Tag Dies and Mail Candies. I used the 3x8 in. clear bag and added some kraft card stock for the backing. For the Mini Tag sentiment, I used Funny Mail 2.  I wrapped the nugget candies with the Candy Wrap Dies and topped them off with some Mail Candies and the Jaded Blossom Addict stamp set. I thought this little guy was a perfect fit for our friend Michelle. Thank you Michelle for all of your hard work. I think I can speak for everyone and say we appreciate everything you do for us in making sure we receive our happy mail so fast.


Thank you so much for taking your time to hop along with us. I was honored to participate and help shower Anne, Michelle and Candace with love in this fun hop. Happy crafting, Sara!!!!!

Snow, snow go away! We have cabin fever here.......So I created a destination wedding Save the Date

Yes it is still snowing here! OMG, will it ever stop, I don't think so. My kids are going nuts. Yes I could bundle them up to go burn some energy and run around the beautiful glistening snow. For them to turn around and want to come back in the house in 15 minutes tops. But do I have to. Do I have to spend more time getting them ready then the time they will actually spend out there. Ugh......why is winter so exhausting? It all sounds good at the beginning of the season. The pretty glittery fluffy snow and the smell of winter and the fallen snow. The deep crunchy sound of every step. When it sticks to trees. Yes, it all sounds nice. But it is just plain exhausting. The kids drive each other nuts....they drive me nuts, just plain EXHAUSTING. OK, I'm done, I feel at little better.
So I have decided to dedicate this weekend to completing the rough draft of a save the date for a friend of mine. We have known each other since junior high and she is finally "gettin hitched". She was describing her wedding to me and it all sounds beautiful. She and her fiancĂ© are doing a destination wedding. (maybe that is why I'm in a winter funk, LOL) They are getting married on the beach in June. Ahh, sounds so nice right about now.

I love to do different things and that is exactly what she wanted, something fun and not feminine or too formal. She had found an idea on pinterst and this is what I came up with. She loved the WOAH s&%$ got real saying so this is what I came up with. I think it is fun and she is fun, describes them to a T.  

I used Jaded Blossom Fancy Topper Die for the base of the card and used my Cameo for the rest. I used a few different fonts to write out the details. I cut out the "WOAH" and the ring from different card stock I already had. Then I added a pop of color with some bling.

 
 
 
I hope you enjoyed this weekends project.
Happy crafting!!!
