Hi Everyone !!!

This month it is a color challenge see HERE

 

I'm also participating in the "100 Days of Tombow" !!!

 

With each participating blog using Tombow products, Tombow will donate $100.00 in product to the Council for Arts Education. A National nonprofit dedicating to promoting and supporting art education and quality art programs nationwide.

 

For my "Tombow Time" I created a gift card holder using Tombow adhesives, SVG Cutting Files and Jaded Blossom stamps.

 

For the gift card holder I used a seed packet from SVG Cutting Files and also a hibiscus flower from them as well.

 

I used the Tombow Stamp runner to assemble the gift card holder, Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid glue I also used the Tombow 3D foam tabs to make the flower POP !!!

 



For the closure I used the Tombow Fastner Tabs !! Which I LOVE !!!

They are a super thin Velcro unlike any I've ever seen and they a super strong LOVE, LOVE, these things !!!

 

 

For the stamp I used Jaded Blossom "Mothers Day" sentiment and twine from The Twinery.

 

These are all the Yummy Tombow products I used in todays project !!

 

 

And just because I will be giving away Tombow's awesome Aqua Mono glue !!!

Summer Isn't a Bummer Blog Hop !!!!

Welcome to the Imaginisce/Tombow “Summer isn’t a Bummer” Blog hop.

 

 

This week, Imaginisce and Tombow have teamed up to get you in the summer spirit. Both design teams are excited to show you just what we have done with the Hot Rocks as well as My Endless Summer and Outdoor Adventure collections from Imaginisce, and Tombow’s Dual Brush Pen Markers and amazing adhesive products.

Tombow has asked ME to guest design with both teams!!! YAY !!!

 

  If you have come here from Marie then you're on track! If not you can start HERE

 

Summertime I think of S'MORES !!!! I love sitting around the fire pit after a hard day of swimming and chow down on these scrumptious treats !!!

 

So I decided to make my first ever S'more bouquet Kit ! Never seen one before??? Yep me neither ! LOL

 

 

 

I wrapped the full size Hershey Bars in Imaginisce paper from the Outdoor Adventure collection. Then added some cute denim twine from the Twinery.

 

 

For the marshmallows' I found these JUMBO stars in red, white, and blue at the store. Used a skewer stick and sealed them in a long bag.

 

 

 

This adorable rustic pail was found at Michael's and I decorated it using a Imaginisce cut out and adhered it with the Tombow power tabs !

( I must say these power tabs are SUPER sticky! WOW I must have more!)

 

 

I decorated the bouquet by using a SVG Cut from SVG Cutting Files, using Tombow mono aqua, stamp runner and foam tabs to put it all together.

Then I used a Tombow colored pencil "surprise red" to lightly color in the cheeks. Also adding glossy accents on the chocolate to give it a wet look.

 

 

For the center I used a cute cut out and paper by Imaginisce!!!

The die cut of the frame and the arrows are from Jaded Blossom "Layered frame and journal die" and the cute stamps also from Jaded Blossom set "Got S'mores"

 

 

I freaked out when I found these marshmallow skewers at Target for only $1 !! They extend out like an antenna and aren't sharp at the ends !

My kids have tried them and they have been "approved" LOL !

 

Instead of cutting the package to cover up the printed price tag, I used the Jaded Blossom candy charm and banner dies with a stamp from the Got S'mores set. I adhered those with the Tombow Power tabs !

 

 

For the graham cracker I attached a bamboo stick to the Imaginisce paper to support the weight of the crackers, then used a bag to seal it, and tied at the end.

 

 

And a picture just to show the foam tabs are awesome for making your projects 3 dimensional !! Like its popping right out at you !!!

 

 

Sometimes its hard to "see" the awesome products so these are the adhesives from Tombow I used ♥

 

 

 

Thank You SOOOOO much for stopping by !!!

Tombow Blog Hop !!

Welcome to the Tombow Blog Hop !!!!

 

I'm soooo excited they asked me to be a guest designer for them today ! YAY !!!!

 

If you just arrived from MARIE's Amazing blog the you are in the right spot !! If not please start at the beginning HERE

 

On Saturday I helped host a baby shower for my sister-in-law. She is decorating the babys room in these "wildlife" animals so I thought it would make a cute theme for the baby shower.

 

I had a friend turn the animals into SVG's for me so I could have the exact animals to match the Nursery.

 



 

These are the AMAZING Tombow products I used when assembling all these pieces !!!

I must say the Mono Aqua is my fav !!! But I LOVED how the adhesive runners are a 2 in 1 adhesive !!!  You can use it the regular way OR stand it up on its end and use it to make little squares of adhesive !!! VERY cool idea !!!

 

 

I made a banner with the baby's name !!! I used the Cricut Pretty pennants cart for the base of the banner. I handmade rosette's to pop the letters. Twine from the Twinery to string and various ribbon and tulle

 

Of course 5 wildlife animals to match the baby's room using several foam tabs to raise different parts of the animals.

Here's a close up, I stitched the sides of the banner pieces, and used googly eyes for each of the animals, using the Tombow aqua mono glue.

 

For the "wood" looking paper I used Echo park, the dot paper is all Simple Stories, and the cardstock is a mix of PaperTrey and Stampin Up

 



 

Here you can see I used the different sized foam tabs for the nose, head then to adhere him to the banner.

 

 

 The cupcake toppers were also made the same way and the same size! I used a lollipop stick and sandwiched between the animal and a backing piece.

 

I also used many types of twine from Twinery and Trendy Twine

 

What would a party be without treats for the guests to take home??

Since this is a "woodsy" theme I thought it would be cute to serve animal droppings ! LOL LOL !!

 

I used the gusset bags, Fancy Topper die, Candy charms and banner die, plus a sentiment from the older version of Bunny Poop stamp set all from Jaded Blossom.

 

I handmade the chocolate scoops using a mold, double boiler and almond bark.

the droppings are chocolate covered raisins

 

Here is a close up of one of the bags !!!

I know this has no adhesive in it..>LOL !

But wanted to show you the s'more pops I made to go along with the theme

 

These were SUPER easy to make!!! I used straws from Jaded Blossom, put them in large and Jumbo marshmallows, dipped them in melted almond bark , then dipped them in crushed graham crackers.

topped it off by tying some ribbon around the straws

 



 

Here's a close up! I LOVE the look of how you can see each layer !

 

You also saw a bucket in the first picture with some treats inside !!

Unfortunately, I cant show you that for a few months it will be a NEW set from Jaded Blossom !

Lily's card

My daughter Lily is 5 and loves to "scrapbook" with mom. I recently bought some Greeting Farm stamps and she's been asking to use them.

She created this card by herself, I tyed the bow for her and helped her line up the spellbinders but other than that she did it all

Yes Im such a proud mommy of course I didnt let her use my copics except for the face, she used my old slick writers, ink and a dauber to create the pink background. I didnt tell her what to put on the card she wanted to use the pop dots stickles etc....

Enjoy~ She wanted me to put this on my site for all my friends to see...lol
