This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Diana from Nanny to Mommy.

Hey everyone!  My name is Diana and I blog over at Nanny to Mommy.  I started blogging originally in 2003 on Blurty, does anyone remember that?  I was an angst teenager with so much pain that I needed to get out.  Or I was just looking for something to do after band practice.

Haha.

Things aren't that dramatic anymore. I blog about my life as a stay-at-home mom who thought I knew

everything about taking care of kids, until I had one of my own. I make mistakes in parenting so you don't have to.

I started my blog in 2010 to keep track of my pregnancy. I started on Tumblr and was going to write about our TTC journey, but life had different plans for us and we got pregnant right away. I continue sharing our story through my father's death that year, my life insurance drama, and my identity theft fiasco only to have my beautiful SweetPea in December and make that terrible year worth it.

I complain about my unsupportive mother-in-law and my husband who never helps. I share my journey through PPD, breastfeeding an infant with lip tie, and my weightloss journey. I may make you laugh, or cry, or you just may feel sorry for my writing skills and over use of smileys.

Either way, ENJOY! :D

I'm a bargain hunter and frugalista, so I share freebies on my facebook fan page Diana's Deals as well as on Twitter and Instagram

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Laura from Laura Lee's Dream.

Hi! It's Laura here at Laura Lee's Dream!  I have to thank Deezy for inviting me to be her guest.  My blog is Laura Lee's Dream because mostly I share about my passion, which is scrapbooking, stamping and making cards.  I love to own scrapbooking stuff... I am a paper addict but it's all good because I am a Design Team Member for Creative Kuts and when Cheryl sends me a file I can pick through and find the perfect paper.  We do BAP's (Build A Project challenge) every week and also Crops On Line.

I have a Cricut which my granddaughters love to use and I am teaching them to use it themselves.  I have an Imagine which I love also.  My new love is my Silhouette Cameo.   As a Design Team member for Creative Kuts I was hand cutting all the files but now I have my cameo I can do anything.  I have 3 children, all over 20 and my youngest daughter is just starting to getting into crafting.  She does not scrapbook or do card making but she loves to color digi's and she does a great job...  I also have 5 grandchildren... the girls love to craft anything.  They make cards or color or whatever they can get their hands on.  Today I have chosen to show you my May Creative Kuts project for the Design Team....

It is called Treasured Memories...  I had a blast with this one....

I also want to show you a project I have already shown but it is my very favorite file from Creative Kuts, Swinging Into Spring

My Daughter, Emily, worked on this digi from The Stamping Chef.

 
This is her second time using copics.  I thought she did an amazing job for her second time.  I think she is hooked, so it could be trouble!  Her first image is good also but I really like this one...  We are planning on making it into a card...

Thanks for joining me today and have a great day!

Monday Inspiration (Teacher App Day and Mother's Day)

At Deezy Does It we are going to start a Monday inspiration post.  Today we are doing all things vinyl with Teacher Appreciation and Mother's Day in mind.

My son is in the first grade this year and given the year we have had, he wanted to gift his teachers with something very special.  It's been a rough year.  Never in a million years did I ever think we would be dealing with the "bullying" topic at such a young age.  After countless meetings with teachers, school's staff and even the nurse we believe we have reached a common ground.  Anyways, back to the inspiration part.

I have braved my way into vinyl cutting with my new machine.  I mean the old machine does ok when it comes to cutting, it's just those intricate cuts that always seem to put it in the back-burner.  I am the savvy owner of a silhouette cameo cutting machine.  Let me tell you that when it comes to intricate, this machine knows it well.

When an internet friend created the "I teach...." file and shared I knew this is what my son would love and saw as special for his teachers.

12x12 tile with felt backing for First grade teacher

 16 ounce tall glass for TA

After delivering the goodies and having the teachers love them a friend, who has a niece graduating from ECU this year, ordered one from me.  Of course, it needed to be purple and gold as those are the schools colors.

Moving on to Mother's Day.  What do you get a mother who has everything and lives far away?  How about a sentimental gift from Father and Son to my husband's mom?

Again, a friend shared the file created and this time I put a twist in it.  I only had the quote to go with and decided to have my husband and my son place a hand print on the tile as well.

12x12 tile with felt backing

After this picture was taken we added my husband and my son's name to each of the hand prints and on the bottom right corner added the year.

I just hope it makes the journey to Ohio.  Once there is confirmation it has, I will ship out my parents to Puerto Rico.  In this case it has my hand print and of course its in pink :-).

Thank you for stopping by today! 

Thank you to all the Happy Silhouette group members on facebook where so much inspiration is shared as well as advice and so much help is given especially to a novice like me.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Debbie from Bugjuiced.

Thank you Deezy for asking me to be a guest! Hi my name is Debbie and my blog is "Bugjuiced". First let me tell you why I chose the name I did for my blog. When I first started crafting I bought my first die cutting machine and it was a cricut. I was all about the cricut and I was living in Florida (probably on a day the love bugs were out! ha ha) and I thought bug juiced would be a fun name. I have only been crafting for about 4 years. I started when I retired at the young age of 46. I never had time before that as I was a business owner. I owned a granite counter top fabrication shop. I did all the sales and ran the business and it was a successful. I am very ambitious and I give my all in everything I do. I am a tough lady in business even though I may not look the part but I had to be dealing in a man's industry so to speak.

I am the mother of one AWESOME daughter who is now 27 years old. She is my everything and I am so proud of her. I also have been married to the BEST husband around and he is also my best friend. He encourages my crazy (hoarding) craft buying and even takes me without complaining to any craft store I want while on vacation so who can ask for more! I have two awesome fur babies that occupy my time now also.

I have 3 (did have 4) cricut machines and recently bought the Silhouette Cameo. Well the cameo has stolen the spotlight! I love this machine and I am loving the Designer Edition software. I have created my own cutting files to satisfy my inner entrepreneur self!! My style is quirky humorous most of the time. I like to not take things seriously with my crafting because life itself is too serious. I am a very humorous person by nature and you can usually see this in most of my blog post when I have the time to really post.

I knew when I quit working that I wanted to craft. I had always been artistic and creative and this was a good outlet. I originally thought that I would just "scrapbook" pictures of our family etc. and that is how I started but then I got into cards and 3d items and my obsession just grew. Now I don't do much that I originally thought I would but I am loving all the fun I have with it. I have been on some awesome design teams and I am thankful for each and every one of them for the push it has gave me to sometimes think outside the box.

My favorite team has been Timeless Twine. I love the owner and I love the product. I have gotten so many great ideas and definitely not the traditional use of the twine most of the time which gives others ideas of what they can do with the twine besides the typical bow.

Here is a few of my favorite projects:

These two are my original designs and I created the cut files for the crazy ladies!! Also shows some great uses of twine!!

This is a surprise slider card I did.

I love TRUE BLOOD show so I made this awesome vampire card using SVG Cutting Files.

I love Cricut Campin Critter cartridge and I made S’more Pops to put in my box. I loved this project and the pops were YUMMY!

Here is a layout (which I rarely do) using twine in an awesome way! PS I love Halloween!

I love to find ways to make other things with my crafting. Here is a little picture frame I made using Happy Hauntings cartridge. Again….love the Halloween things!

I got probably a little overboard with the amount of projects I am sharing but these are my favorites. So for my last one here is a tri-fold card using SVG Cuts files. This was so time consuming but I loved it!!

I have a new project that is home decor that I will be showing on May 15 so I can't show it here yet and I just wish I could! I hope you take the time to visit my blog and even follow me would be awesome! Thanks to Deezy for asking me to be a guest!!
