This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase is a little different.  I have been showcasing different types of blogs created by some awesome ladies since February and I figured it was time to tell you a little about me, aka Deezy from Deezy Does It! 

Hi there!!  My name is Wanda Hornung, a.k.a. Deezy from “Deezy Does It!”.  I am a mother of a beautiful yet fearless 7 year old boy, Branden. 



My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been together for 19 yrs (married 13).

I first got into crafting right after we purchased our first home.  My husband just said “Let’s get what you need”.  I still have the receipt of everything we bought, which it is ½ faded.    

3 years later and I have one small corner in the Carolina Room.  I own three die cutting machines to help with my crafting, a Cricut Expression and 2 Cricut Imagine, with about 40-50 cartridges.  My specialties are 3-D items and cards and as of recently personalized anything.  I have yet to master creating lay-out pages for scrapbooks, but do dab a bit in it (and by bit I mean very little).

Cards created for very special moms this year

File template is from svg attic

Personalized items

Creative Kuts Snowman & Their Pals Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to our Snowman & Their Pals Blog Hop!

If you came here from Creative Kuts then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon my blog please stay and join in on the fun with Creative Kuts and the Design Team.  The fun begins at Creative Kuts.

Check out all the wonderful projects created by members of our creative teams from files located in our stores at Creative Kuts and Creative Kuts 2.

Now for my project:

I have used the Snowman Mini Album file from the Creative Kuts store for just $3.  

I loved every minute of creating this file.  The face of the snowman is coated with snow tex, which you can find at your local craft store.  It does take 2-3 hours to dry but the result is worth the wait.  A combination of Christmas pattern papers from Recollections, MAMBY and DCWV paper packs and coordinating colored cardstocks were used..  I added photo mats to pages 3, 4 and 5.  Popped the star on page 3 of the album with 3d pop dots, inked all edges with cat's eye color box inks.  Cheryl taught me the dry brush blush routine for the snowman's face. 

Below is a close up of little bits and pieces from my project.

"The love that moves the sun and the other stars" 

My 1 yr Creative Kuts Anniversary & CK Freebie Too

Hi, hope you've got a great holiday weekend planned, I certainly hope to get in my craft room after all the craziness has stopped. 

Can't believe that today makes for 1 yr that I discovered Creative Kuts.  Oh my did I hit the jack pot.... 

I had purchased SCAL in May of 2011 feeling intimidated by it I didn't touch it until early November.  The very first paper piecing company I came upon was CK.  My very first BAP project was the Build A Turkey.  It was a two stepper BAP.  You created the feathers first, post an image to the fan page as well as send an e-mail letting CK know you had finished step one to receive the second step, the turkey.

Here is an image of my first BAP.

New Beginnings Post

I made 3 by that Wednesday and sent one for each of my son's kindergarten teachers.  They both used them as a table center piece during their turkey feast.

Mind you. it was my very first, and so there is no inking, no popping and no white on the eyes.  Cheryl is probably cringing at the thought of no definition.  haha!  But she knows I love her :-) 

Now you can just imagine how super excited I was when Cheryl asked me to become her admin.  The rest of the story, well, you all have witnessed it as a fellow CK follower.

Now for the blog candy:
1. Be a follower of this blog and leave a comment on this post.
2. Go to the Creative Kuts Posts Group Page, join if you aren't a member.

3. Become a fan of CK at CK fan page.

4. Send an e-mail to wanda@creativekuts.com asking for the Build A Turkey file.

Thank you for following my journey.

Trick Or Treat

Trick or treat, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat...  If you don't, I don't care, I'll just pull your underwear.....  Happy Halloween!!!!

Today I sent my son, Branden, to school with treats for both his teacher and the teacher aid. 
Cheryl at Creative Kuts created a Frankie candy bar wrapper, that I don't think is in the store just yet.

However, the Frankie Slider Card to match this aweasome wrapper is at the Creative Kuts 2 store :-)

Both stores sell files that come in formats to cut by hand or with a die cutter.  As a matter of fact, Creative Kuts is having a "retiring files" sale as we speak.  Feel free to pay them a visit.   

Branden saw the candy wrapper and immediately fell in love with it.  He asked what the things on the side of his head were.  Of course once I said "bolts" we went into deep conversation of just how they got there, why is he green, etc etc.  Gotta love that kid!

2 Blog Hops Makes For 2 Winners

Good Morning everyone and Happy Monday! 
Thinking of all my followers who are in the northeastern states as Sandy the "Frankenstorm" is headed towards you.

This past Saturday I was honored to be a part of two great blog hops.  Creative Kuts "Pumpkin Fest" BH, which I am the DT Admin for and Pam Lavertu's "Pam's Spooktacular 40th Birthday" BH.  With that being said I have two winners to announce.  Each Blog Candy consisted of a $5.00 (five dollars) GC to the CK Store.  Did you follow the steps to be eligible to win?  

I want to take this time to review the projects for each of the Blog Hops.  The winners are announced in the review for each.

Creative Kuts "Pumpkin Fest" BH I used the Pumpkin Gift Bag from Creative Kuts2 store.

 The pattern papers came from the Recollections "Night & Fall" Signature Series paper pad.  The pumpkins were cut with orange card-stock and the stems with brown.  Black card-stock was used for the shadow on the title and the pumpkin face.  The title layered piece was done with orange textured card-stock.  The pumpkins are embossed with the "D'vine Swirls" embossing cuddlebug folder and 3-d pop dots were used to raise the pumpkin layers and stems.

The winner of the Creative Kuts GC is...  DUN DUN DUN:

 

Janet, please send me an e-mail to wanda@creativekuts.com and I will get you the details of your prize.  Congratulations :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For Pam Lavertu's "Pam's Spooktacular 40th Birthday" BH I used the Boo Mini Album from Creative Kuts. 

The pattern papers all came from the Recollections "Haunted Estate" paper pad.  For the ghost and the spider I used texture adhesive cardstock.  The spider is embossed with the "swiss dots" embossing cuddlebug folder and 3-d pop dots were used to raise the head from the body. 

The winner of the Creative Kuts GC is...  DUN DUN DUN:

Teresa, please send me an e-mail to wanda@creativekuts.com and I will get you the details of your prize.  Congratulations :-)

Hope everyone has an awesome crafty week!

XX XO,

Deezy

And now for my project:

I used a combination of Martha Stewart's Carnival papers with Me & My Big Ideas papers.

 

The cupcake stand is pretty straight forward.  Just using different pattern papers gives it the look you are looking for.  Cheryl created the 3-D pumpkin topper, which I am sure will be added to the store very soon.

 Cake Stand from CK2

The utensils caddy is the desk organizer caddy, I embellished it with "monsters" to give it the Halloween theme. This is a versatile file which can be used for many things to organize.
