Key Ingredients + Kelleigh Blog Hops
Number of View: 11745 
Welcome to Key Ingredients Blog Hop AND Kelleigh Ratzlafff Designs Blog Hop! Yeah, I’m participating TWO blog hops today. =)
Please, scroll ALL~~~~~~~ the way down for the blog hop participants’ link! =)
Once again, I was inspired by my messy house, heehee. I wanted to create the cupcake themed projects for Taylored Expressions January Key Ingredients Challenge/Blog Hop. Also use Kelleigh‘s Cupcake Box Template for the pefect cupcakes. So, I was looking around my house for some ideas, and there they were, plastic Easter Eggs scattered around on the floor among my kids’ toys.
I used the rounder half of the egg for the Cupcake Box Template (Reduced to 50%).
Add Glossy Accents around the egg.
Cut the strips of paper (I used 3/4″). Wrinkle and twist. I saw this technique to make flat flowers somewhere and thought it would look nice as cupcake frosting. Used hot glue to attach it to the egg.
My cupcakes look yummy even without the frosting! =)
But looks yummier with the frosting! =)
And with button toppings.
And look at my cupcake stand! =)
I used Perfect Pumpkin Template Set (Increased the Large Lid to 115%) by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs. And added the ribbon trim.
And the Priority Mail Box (10″ circumference) for the base. Covered it with cardstock papers. You see, The Key Ingredients ship via Priority, and you can even create a project with the shipping box! =)
A cupcake album!

Recipe holder. I didn’t have the banana cupcake recipe, so I made the muffins instead, heehee.
How about some cakes?

Tiny Twinkles Anyone?

Gotta go pick up my daughter from her school. I’ll add the ingredient list later. =)
I’m a Taylored Expressions Key Ingredient subsriber and love participating TEKI challenge every month. Last month I found out I won (random draw) some goodies. Woohoo! It was Crystal Twinkles and Multi-color Twinkles. I love these Twinkles!!! I’ve bought a lot of them back in summer which will last me for a very long time. So, I decided that I would give my winning prize to one of my blog friends if I ever get featured on Stamp a Sweet Impression.
Well, I didn’t know I would be asked to be their Friday Friday so soon. Yikes! What an honor!!!
I’ll draw a name from this post comments on Monday October 12, 10 pm EST. My BIL is getting married this weekend, and I have to put up with (Ugh! Heeheehee) A LOT of in-laws (ugh!). Some are staying with us, and I need to clean the house!!!! Ugh! If you know me, you know how much I hate cleaning the house! Wish me luck! I hope I can survive this weekend.
matchbox 21 – kyle’s 5th birthday party invitations
Number of View: 3704
*Whew*
I finally finished Kyle’s birthday invitations. I was brainstorming for his cards since June/July, and even had a mock-up, but never got to actually make any invitations. I knew I wanted to make an accordian card, but couldn’t really decide on the cover. And couldn’t really find a place to put the “All Aboard” ticket.
Then, yesterday I was thinking, why not make travel luggage cards? After all, I’ve been doing a lot of 3-d projects lately, why not make my son’s invitation different. Besides, it fits with “train ride to the party” travel theme.
Matchbox Template Set by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs (I used the large template). Her templates are soooo easy to use, and love using it since she did all the measument and all I have to do is print and cut.
Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs is having a 30% off Back to School Sale until the end of September!
Stamped the cover. After I made this prototype birthday favor backpack (brown lunch bag covered with patterned papers), I was worried about how long it would take for me to make over 20. Stephanie (She was my first blog candy claimer and we became friends =) suggested stamping instead. Brilliant! Thanks Stephanie!
Flip the cover. Glue the bottom and the back part of the luggage. Attach the box.
Attach the ribbon (I used all purpose craft glue) to the cover. Spread/glue Aleen’s Tack-It Over & Over glue on the ribbon. This way, you can open and close the flaps over and over again.
Here are the invitation cards that go in the boxes (luggage).
Stamp: Making Memories Passport;
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black.
Stamps: Stampin’ Up! ” Choo Choo” and the matching train track Stampin’ Wheel; Taylored Expressions “Sweet Celebration”;
Stickers: Paperchase Cityscape.
Lollipop behind the engine.
Stamp: Maya Road “All Aboard” Singleton Stamp.
Duh~~!! I attached the handle on the front flap instead of the top. It was around 4 am, and I was dozing off.
Ta-da~! 21 Matchbox luggage. Hmmm… Missing one on the photo.
This one is for Kyle.
I didn’t put any contact information on the invitation card, because the party place provided it along with “do not sue us if your children get hurt” kind of waiver forms.
Now, I have less than 3 weeks to work on his party favors.

This is a toothpick holder.
I didn’t think I would participate this month’s Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients challenge. It was to create kitchen themed projects. Well, I didn’t know what to make. Didn’t think I would need to make anything for my kitchen.
Well, I was in the kitchen, and spotted a kid crafts pirate ship sitting on my messy dining room table. My husband bought it for my son which I paid for with his money. =) He put together the body, but never finished building it.
*sigh*
My house is messy. I stopped cleaning since I got married………. 7 years ago. Hehe. Well, I read somewhere that messy house can stimulate kids’ brains. Hmmm… Maybe I wrote that article. Heehee. My kids are going to be soooooo SMART!
Here is the pirate ship toothpick holder made with Taylored Expressions September Key Ingredients!
This pirate has some style~! Fabulous outfit! Face colored with Smooch.
Covered a plastic toy cup with brown cardstock. Distressed with file and Versamark ink pad. Added gold Smooch dots.
This girl sure loves bling blings!
Distressed. Painted with Smooch.
Treasured chest: Daddy’s Toolbox Template (small size - reduced it by 50%) by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs.
Ha! That’s for telling daddy that mommy bought more stamps!
Normally I’m very neat (yeah right!), but since this challenge is to use distressing, I was “forced” to make things messy. Hehe.
Used Modge Podge to glue the papers to the ship.
Oh, please~! You think I would feel bad for you? Me? I locked my daughter in a chest and tied my son to a gun powder barrel. You think I’ll be sympathetic!
Heehee.
Wait a minute! What is this??? Where are you taking me to!
Heeheehee… I won last month’s Key Ingredient challenge (random draw)! Woohoo! I wonder what goodies I’ll get! THANK YOU Taylor!
Oh well… I guess my kids are not going to Harvard after all.
=)
Thank you!!!
