HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY COLORFUL CREATIONS! BLOG HOP

Hey all! Welcome to the Colorful Creations Blog Hop! If you have arrived here from Karen's Blog you are on Kathy's blog- The Beautiful Life. If you have stumbled across this by chance and want to play along then you can head back to the Colorful Creations Site to start at the beginning. You should see the event banner that looks like this:

Colorful Creations has been created as a place where members can rally together as a crafting community, showcase their crafting talents, share their ideas, learn, and participate in exciting challenges. Our Design Team is here for you - to provide inspiration, to answer questions, or even just chat!!

Hello and welcome. I am Kathy Floen, one of the Design Team Members of Colorful Creations. For my part in all of these wonderful blog challenges I am doing an Altered Canvas. I LOVE altered projects. They are fun and I really can step out of the box and just be creative. :) I truly love them! :)

I love butterflies! They represent so much for me. :) Beauty, love, nature, growing, so much! :) So here is my canvas:

It really is self explanatory! :) I tried to capture the essence of how I feel as a person and how the butterfly represents me.

So, those of you who know me and follow/read my blog...you know I can't do a BLOG HOP without some BLOG CANDY! :) Colorful Creations is also giving away some FUN goodies also so that's a BONUS!! To get into the drawing for the grand prize (and other prizes) being given away by the group make sure you join the fun!

Home Decor Blog Hop!!!

Hey All! :) Welcome to The Beautiful Life...your next stop on The Home Decor Blog Hop! :) You should have come here from Anita's Blog! :) However, if you are here by accident and would love to start the HOP at the beginning; you need to go to our wonderful host, Faith's Blog and start there! :) Thanks, Faith, for coming up with this idea! :) I love home decor projects and love to decorate my home. :) I was happy when I got accepted into this blog hop and hope you enjoy my project! :)

I made a wall shelf with my Cricut and white vinyl. I got the shelf from Goodwill and spray painted it with Krylon and let it dry and then I cut the vinyl with the Home Accents Solutions Cricut Cartridge. I cut the "family" and the wish flowers out after. :) It was that simple and easy. :)

Here is the finished project!

I also have some BLOG CANDY for you! :) All you have to do is leave a comment for one chance! If you would like two chances to win, become a follower! Already a follower? Just let me know! :) ALSO and this is IMPORTANT!!! Make sure you leave me an email addy or someway to get a hold of you if you are a winner! If I don't have your info I have to pick a new winner!

Here is the BLOG CANDY!

2 wooden frames that you can alter in any way and 1 roll of Oh My Vinyl red vinyl.



Next stop on the HOP is Denise's Blog! Thanks for Hopping with us and HAPPY EASTER! :)
