Dot & Whimsy

Good Monday and Memorial Day

First I would like to thank all of the service men and women who have served

and do serve our country.  It's only because of your sacrifice and God's grace

that we live in the comforts of FREEDOM!

And HAPPY 44th Birthday to my hubby...who always seems to have a nice long

weekend to celebrate his birthday LOL

Now, let's do a little celebrating with the

For today's assignment, I wanted to represent Americana.

Since Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off-to-Summer, and because I LOVE

all things red-white-and-blue, I decided on this

  I used the whimsical hat and star Stickerz from Patriotic Party

I applied the Stickerz to white cardstock and then trimmed out.  I like to do this

if I'm planning on popping up the Stickerz images with foam dots.

I'll be working on St. Patrick's Day and since we wear ceil blue scrubs, I thought I'd better make a little bit of green to pin on my jacket.  So!  I brought out my awesome I-Top Tool and XL Badge buttons by Imaginisce and went to work.  First, I topped my badge with a bright green striped fabric.  Next, I took the green cupcake Irish Sweets Stickerz and applied it to a white cardstock, then trimmed out.  I attached it to the front of the badge with foam dots (I used a dot of Fabri-Tac to adhere the foam to the fabric).  A little green bling and baker's twine finished off my sweet St Patty's badge!

No pinchin' in my future!

You can also use paper with the I Top Tool and accessories...just apply your Stickerz motif and punch out.

Easy, fun and even the kiddies can join in on the creativity :)

With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I decided to do a fun wall plaque that I could hang in my scrap room.  Of course, my daughter fell in love with it...she's always called herself  'a little bit leprechaun' :)

I used the IRISH SWEETS Stickerz from EAD, along with patterned papers and tin-type alpha letters from October Afternoon, ribbon from May Arts and the sweet scalloped chipboard from Maya Road.  Oh and of course, another one of my crafting staples...flat back pearl accents :)  

I love it!  looks so happy in my scrap nook.
