ADFD Sweeet Summer Blog Hop!!!!


Today's the DAY!!!! It's the A Day For Daisies Sweeeet Summer Blog Hop!!! WOOHOOOO!!!!

My first project is a sign for Maisie's room.... I found this sign in the deep bargain bin at the local dollar store. I covered the base with paper that is actually a digital paper from a kit by Karen Funk at Design House Digital. All my projects today used digital paper! I printed Maisie's name and the images onto adhesive mulberry paper, trimmed with a tear bar and adhered. The I sponged pink ink onto the edges and added some ribbon! Oh and don't forget the stickles around the edges. I also used a pink copic to re-color the copper~y trim element on the left hand side.



My second project is a coffee thermos! I found these years ago at Target, the bottom unscrews and you can add your own decoration... I think I saw some at Michael's the other week (I had to stop myself from buying more - LOL!) There's not a lot of room for layering more than 2 layers, but they're still fun to do, and make a cute gift!

I will "gift" this mug to a random "commentor" (usa only - sorry!)!

Here's my final project - a quick card!!!

Please hop on over to the ADFD blog to start at the beginning AND see what cool prizes are being offered!!!

    That sign is just amazing! I love it!! The colors you've used all blend together so well and the patterns on the paper, especially the circles on the cones just make them come alive. I wanna make one! LOL All your projects are wonderful. Thanks for sharing them with us Arielle!

    Supercute sign... I would love to have a dollar bargain shop around here... hehehe.... I'm so sad I am not in USA because I like the mug :) And the card is just for me, When I need a little bit of something to feel better, I have an icecream (LOL)
