Happy Birthday to Heathen #2!!!

My littlest heathen's birthday is July 5th. Which, unfortunately, falls on a Sunday this year. Who wants to attend a kids' birthday party on the Sunday after the Fourth of July? (And trust me, my extended family will be to hungover on Sunday.) So, his party will be held on July 4th around noon. Early enough that I can feed 'em and send 'em home before the fireworks begin!

So, onto the papercrafting part of this diatribe! My awesome friend, Jenn, came over and helped me make 20 of these cute little boxes. We used the Cricut cartridge Bags, Tags, Boxes & More. (I never really appreciated this cartridge until I got my Expression!) It is the Inchbox w/the Window option, cut at "Fit to Page" (love, love, love that button!). We taped pieces of acetate on the inside of the boxes. Then, used the Stampin' UP! set Independence Day (will not be available after June 30th!!!) to stamp the stars and firecrackers.

Filled them with: bubbles, poppers (it's the 4th of July!), a waterball, a mini squirt gun, and a sucker. Cost per box? $1.51!!!

A couple quickie cards and a LO

I made this LO yesterday. I absolutely adore this pic of the littlest heathen. That lizard, though.....grrr. He was a dollar yard sale find about five years ago and he refuses to leave my house! Trust me, I've tried; several times in fact. Anyways, I didn't really know what to do w/this pic so I figured I'd make a black & white & gray page with some metallic accents. Unfortunately, that line of metallic beads/rhinestones is NOT a solid piece; I put each and every one of those on there individually. That black rhinestone arrow is courtesy of my friend, Sammie. The splash of color behind the pic is from SU's Bright Delights rub-ons (which unfortunately are on the Last Chance list and are already out of stock).


These two cards I made in less than twenty minutes. I like the top one much better than the bottom one. The trees, the little flowers and the sentiments are all from SU's Bright Delights rub-ons. The ladybug is from a current level 1 hostess set called Darling Dots. And the ribbon is chocolate chip. (What? You want to try some of SU's ribbon? Click here and tell them Jess sent you!)

Thanks for looking at my stuff!
