A few Cosmo Cricket goodies........

We have one store in town that carries a LIMITED supply of Cosmo Cricket products (supplies listed at end of post). Even though they carry very few products. I'm happy!! The kits go a LONG way and several projects can be completed with the kits. I completed ALL these projects with 1 kit and two cardstock sticker sheets. To top it off.....I have plenty of stuff left. Now, who can beat that?! lol

I thoroughly enjoyed creating each and everyone of these projects!! I hope you don't get bored....this is a LONG post! (:


************************************************************************************
I bought this birdhouse at Wal-Mart for less $2.62. I spray painted it and covered it with Cosmo Cricket Twist and Shout PP.



************************************************************************************
These little vellum envelopes were turned into good-y bags. I used more Twist and Shout PP.
The little bunny has a "cotton tail". Also, I used some of the cardstock stickers to dress them up.




************************************************************************************
The PP and die-cuts on this card are also from the Spring 08 line. The PP in this line is Twist and Shout. It was love at first sight when I first laid eyes on these little chick!!!!

************************************************************************************
This is my second favorite card I created with this kit!! I love the butterflies and the way the cardstock sticker and PP sentiment work together!! :D
************************************************************************************
Your a trooper if you've made it this far! lol I used more of those super cute cardstock stickers on this card! Cardstock stickers glam up a card in no time flat.....they take the work out or cardmaking and SB'ing. I made the flowers with some lace my mom bought for at a yardsale. Don't ya love a bargain! :)

************************************************************************************
Here's a quick and simple card using a die-cut from the Spring 08 collection......As you can see.....many projects are to be had from one kit!

************************************************************************************
This little number here has a clear base (yep, it's acetate baby). I punched out the little chicks with a circle punch and pop dotted them to the front of the card. The large panel in on the inside of the card.
************************************************************************************
For this project, I first cut the top off of a little brown bag. I then, punched holes around the top and weaved the ribbon through the holes. To dress it up. I added some PP, lace, a tag, pearls, a silk flower and lightly sponged the edges. I had some cellophane bags that will house some candy as part of my little nieces birthday present this coming weekend.
************************************************************************************
If you look closely (if you're still hanging with me lol) the notebook paper PP is handmade. I used some fine tip markers, graphed project protector paper from SU, a crop-o-dile and a ruler. It was easy.....I'm sure I'll be making more.
This card goes with the project above that I'm giving to my niece. I'll just add a birthday wish to the front of it (somewhere). lol

Hi Lori! It's been a while since I've visited your actual blog since I have you on my google reader. Anyway, I love your layout. I scrolled all the way down to the bottom to see that you used an Our Blogger Template. Was this hard to do and did you need to customize a lot? I recently tweaked all my spacing, margins, and wrappers and don't want to do all that again.

I love all your Cosmo Cricket projects. There were so many, I have no idea how you found the time to make them all.

PS. You comments are showing up with a black background so can't read them.
