Birdie Bits Book
The paper is Dream Street, Birdie Bits and the Cricut Cartridge I used is Cuttin' Up (which is such a fun one especially for kids) and I used my Zutter Bind-It-All to bind it together.
Let me know what you think.

My First Alterable
Ok, so I got this star shapped box at Hobby Lobby a few months ago and have been building up my courage to tackle it. Well, I did it! And here is the results. The pictures are not the best, but I hope you can see what I have done....
Supplies Used:
1 Star Shapped Box-Hobby Lobby
Paint: by Scrapbook Colors (Evergreen)
Material: Micro-suede (saddle color)
"R": K&Company "Twinkle Type"
Rope: Natural Jute 4 ply #72
My first task was to attach the suede to the lid. I did that with Modge Podge Glue. Once I did that I trimmed the extra material and then used Tacky Glue to adhere the Jute Rope around the lid of the box. This step took a little time and patients but was not as hard as I had expected it to be. The Tacky Glue held the Jute in place very well. I Then painted the star and box the matching "Everygreen" color and let them dry. Once the star dried, I punched a hole in the center of it and the lid and attached the star with a brad. I flattened the head of this brad so it looked like a nail. I then placed the "R" on top.
I almost forgot...before I put the Jute on the lid, I went outside and with a lighter I burned the rope so to give it that old rustic look. I really liked how it turned out. Once I finished the lid, i painted the outside of the box and the inside of the lid the same matching green and let dry.
So there, FINISHED! I am pleased with the finished project. I just hope the individual receiving the gift will like it. I have another box like this one that I have started, but it will be pink instead. And the "R" will be replaced with an "M" for our little "Princess COWGIRL"

Here is an upclose and personal photo of the "CowPup", I also got him on EBAY too. I got him from a seller by the name of SimonSays and man do I love their sellection of Stamps. They have it all. After I colored each of these stamps, I cut them out and then inked the edges of the paper and then went over it with chalk....

Hi Everyone
Well, I am here finally! I have been so darn busy going here and there I just have not had time to stop and think. Last week was a really busy week for me. The first half of the week I spent in OK City meeting with 2 AMAZING ladies from the Sooner Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as I have put a team together to walk in the GREATSTRIDES walk in OK City on May 10. Bonni has also agreed to be part of this AWESOME TEAM! Our Team Name is Raegan's Walkers. I will post a short video tonight so you can view and she what the team is all about. I would love your support for this amazing cause we are fighting. The second half of my week was spent back in Sherman helping my "Baby" Sister move to her new house. So Now I am back in Wichita working and going about life again. Still busy, but hey! Wouldn't have it any other way! I will get my slideshow of my LO posted tonight so my "Partner in Crime" don't kill me! Have a Great Day!

We also wanted to announce the start of monthly challenges. On April 1st the first challenge will be posted. It will be due by midnight on the last day of April.
We will announce the criteria for it on April 1st.
If our schedules permit, we will have challenges more often than monthly, but for now, we are going to stick with monthly challenges. Maybe with a few bonus challenes in there.
