Aug 19th Scraps to Treasures Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scraps To Treasures August hop day 2. This weekend we have several amazing crafters lined up to show you their interpretation of this sketch.

If you have arrived here from Lucy

you are where you should be. If you found your way here on your own, you may want to start at Robin's blog - http:// scrapandchat.blogspot.com/ to make sure you do not miss a thing.

Now before we get to our fabulous projects Robin is giving away some Blog Candy so be sure to check out her blog for directions on how to enter to win.

Now on to my project!

I didn't start out intending to follow the sketch to the "T" but as soon as I grabbed this photo of my son and grandson the stars pattern just seemed to fit and of course the polka paper was in the same bin and it matched too LOL so I guess I just had to keep following the sketch. I haven't made too many projects following sketches but I really liked it, it keeps especially my layouts from always being the same.

I can't list the products I used here because they are all just left overs from other projects but then again that is the purpose of this group isn't it

Thank you so much for hopping along with us .Now you will be moving on to Tahi in today's hop but just in case you need it, here is the full line up. If you missed yesterday's line up it's also below.

Paper Piecings by Nikki DT Posting

Hello followers today I have some Saturday inspiration for you courtesy of Paper Piecings by Nikki.  Today  I want to show you the versatility of one of Nikki's patterns called Baby Bear card, box and tag set.

There's three patterns to this collection, but you don't have to use them all together if you don't want to.  I've made all three, using different papers I can now use them for three different gifts or purposes.

This is the box, but I chose to use it as a  flower pot

Here's the tag. I substituted the cut flowers for some
Primas glitzed with Tattered Angels

Using both blue & pink and a piece of ribbon instead of the
"baby girl" cut this card is perfect for a baby shower

Here are all three elements together, you can see how using the same print paper
and shades it would be an adorable collection for your gift, or using different papers
you now have three distinct projects!

Well that's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by and make sure you visit Paper Piecings by Nikki:

August Krazy Crafting Crew Blog Hop Day #2!

Welcome back to day two of the School is cool blog hop brought to you by the Krazy Crafting Crew!!  This month's hostess is the wonderful Jearise and this is where you should start if you just stumbled upon my blog.  If you have gotten out of study hall by way of the CardMonkey you are headed in the right direction!!

For my project today I have made a welcome back to school pencil holder, made from pencils!  

Just add a little gift tag and it's perfect for that 1st day of school present!

This was super simple to make.  I just took a vegetable can, painted the outside red and the inside blue.  Added a piece of foam inside, measured the pencils, cut off the bottoms (well actually my hubby cut the bottoms off) and hot glued them all around the can.  Add a pretty bow and it's done!

Hope you enjoyed my quick and simply project for today.  Class is back in session at Lisa's blog so don't be late!

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!!
