It's Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas!

Hello everyone!  I'm sharing my creations over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  today so this is kind of a repeat for my followers of some items I've been making to sell this Christmas season! I'm excited that I'm feeling better and able to get back to doing these things that I love!  Stamped coffee cards I'm taking special orders for frames like these! Also taking orders for these! <3 p=""> Taking orders for these that display my grandchildren's artwork! :-) I made lots of Christmas banners! The Christmas Joy Foldout in Cricut Design Space is very popular and I love how it looks! Did this sign in vinyl and took the back off the frame to let my wall color show through!  These mugs have been another great seller for me too!  These monogrammed mugs are my latest project and they are selling like hotcakes! I'm so excited!  Well, that's all I have for today! Anyone interested in or

I'm in Business!

I've launched my business with an open house so now anyone can message or email me to order any of the things I have featured! I also do custom orders so if you have an idea of something you want, I can probably do it! Here are some of the items available right now: This can be custom ordered from $25, depending on what style and size you want! Write Me Back Sets are my favorite new item! Each set contains 2 large envelopes that each contain 12 envelopes and 12 pieces of letter writing paper. You keep one big envelope and give or mail the other big envelope to a friend, grandchild or significant other and exchange letters once a month! Let's bring back snail mail and happy mail!!  Card Folios contain 6 cards and envelopes. These are great for Christmas wishes, recipes or just a note of encouragement!  Coffee-themed cards are $1 each.  One of my new favorite additions to my wall! This sign is available to purchase for $13! A sign I made to display our grandchildren's creatio

Candy Buffet Centerpiece

Hi everyone! I'm here today to share a centerpiece I made for a graduation celebration for a friend! It's also my turn to share over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY  so this project is featured over there too! Check out her blog where there is fresh inspiration each day!  Sorry I've been MIA due to some family events and such! :-)  Here is the finished product that graced the center of a candy buffet: Some closeups:  Another view I used several Cricut cartridges including: Sweet Treats,  Birthday Bash,  and a few others that I can't seem to identify! :-/ Ooops! :-)  I love doing these centerpieces because, for the most part, they are easy to design and cut and so much fun to put together! Thanks for stopping by today! JAVA JEN

Ladies Tea Party

Hello everyone!! I'm here to share my Ladies Tea Party decor! It's my turn to share over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY  so you can also see this post over there.  Our church has a Ladies Tea every year and all the hostesses decorate their own tables however they choose. Of course, my Cricut Explore made this quite easy!! Here is a pic of my table all ready to go!  I made various flowers, including some 3-D ones to scatter around the table. I thought the Kraft paper paired with the different colors of glitter paper would make a colorful statement that could easily be seen through my clear glass plates!  Each hostess also made the food for her guests so I made chicken salad sandwiches and orange tea cookies. The placemat under my tiered display is just a flower doily enlarged to fit nicely inside a 12x12 square of kraft paper.  Thanks for stopping by today!!                                                  

Happy Birthday Centerpiece

Hi, everyone! Today I am sharing a little Thursday inspiration with you and everyone over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY !  I am always making centerpieces as gifts for people. I like to think of them more as paper bouquets! :-)  I made this one for a co-worker and she was amazed that I made it! (I just didn't tell her how easy it really was!) :-)  I used several different cartridges like Sweet Treats, Birthday Bash, Birthday Cakes and Celebrate. I simply cut my images out at the size I thought would look best and attached them to wood skewers and stuck them in a foam block inside a mason jar.  I used tissue paper to hide the foam block! So easy! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Baby Shower Time and this time IT'S A GIRL!!!

So, I have thoroughly enjoyed creating decorations for my grandsons' baby showers - all 4 of them! But now we have added a granddaughter to our family and I am thrilled to make some girly decorations!!! Today it's my turn to share over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  so I just had to share my excitement there too! Be sure to check out Sheila's blog for awesome, daily inspiration!!  I decided to make a big centerpiece in a basket. Here is what I came up with: Here are some close-ups: I got all the various cuts from Cricut Cartridges. I can't seem to remember them all but I know I used Creative Memories Tiny Treasures, Cricut Lite Sugar and Spice, Baby Steps, Cricut Lite Cupcakes and Sweet Treats. There are so many great images to choose from that I just had to pick a bunch!! I also wrote on a chalkboard sign:  I also made a little snowflake banner that can be hung up in her room! I attached the snowflakes to the dowel wit
