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!!

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Jennifer from Clueless Crafter.

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have been crafting for a long time! Apparently since 1969! That’s when I got a copy of Miss Patch’s Learn to Sew by Hand at a book fair in school. Not sure that I made anything out of it, I but I still have that book!

My maternal grandmother taught me how to crochet a chain stitch many moons ago and then I advanced to granny squares. I still have the hook she taught me with and it is my favorite one to use. (As you can tell, I never get rid of anything!)

I have been scrap-booking since about 2000. I still do some sewing and am crocheting more. Lately I like to look at something and decide what else I can do with it before tossing it out in the trash! I love re-purposing items! 

Recently, I have discovered 3d paper crafting items and love to create them! I am also hooked on painting, not pictures but things! 

The project I created for the Pimp-Out/Showcase hop is an altered canvas. I painted the edges of the canvas with basic acrylic paints. (I only did the edges and a little onto the top so that there wasn’t that bright white showing. This step is optional.) While that dried, I painted a few other things as I was bored (but hey, I got another project done!) 

When the paint was dried, I painted modge podge on the entire top and sides of the canvas. I used a simple sponge brush. (and yes while that was drying I modge podged the other project). I think I ended up with a good 2-3 coats on the canvas.

When it was thoroughly dried, I lightly misted the back of my scrap-book paper.  (Someone suggested this hint as it allows the paper to adhere to the canvas a bit better).  Again, I modge podged the paper onto the canvas, allowing time to dry in between coats.

While it was drying, I remembered I had this awesome Claddah paper piecing that I have had for years. I think I got it from when I was active in a yahoo scrap book group. (no Facebook in those days!) I thought it went well so I chose that for the corner piece.

The embellishments at the tops are just jeweled shamrocks that have been in my stash.  I created the banner by modge podging a piece of scrapbook paper and cutting out diamonds. I have huge stash of embroidery floss (are you really surprised by this?) so I braided the colors of the Irish flag and used that to hang the banner that says “Slainte’) It’s an Irish greeting of well wishes! 

I hope you like my project. I think my total cost might have been $2.50! I had everything on hand except the canvas. I have been trying to pick them up on sale so I have them when something inspires me! I was happy that I was able to use some products from my unbelievably large stash! Seriously, if you need it, I probably have it!
Thanks to Wanda (Deezy) from Deezy Does It! for spotlighting me!
