Earring Cards for CCG

Hello all!
I hope you're having a crafty day.
Today I'm showing you a little project I did for my girls.
Kelsie and Sara started a resin business last year called
They make a variety of items, go check them out through
the link above.  One of the things they make, that are 
very popular, are earrings.
They needed some cards to display the earrings on,
when I saw what they wanted, I said 
"Don't spend the money on those, I can make them."
So I did.
I created them all with my Silhouette software and cut them 
all with my Silhouette Cameo.
The clouds were a must since their name is 
Clumsy Cloud Gifts.
Kelsie already had some cat ones, but could always use some
more, so I made those too.  The little cat stud earrings are
adorable on these cards.  Sorry I don't have a picture of them.
The hearts and rectangles were really simple to create.
Below are pictures of some of their earrings on the
cards I made for them.
Convenient to have a Mom that can do these as they need them.








These are just one style of earrings that they make.
There are so many other beautiful styles and colors
on their website, go check them out as well as their other 
items.  They do beautiful work.
They are selling online through their website
at craft shows and also through a shop in Buffalo
 If you are local to Buffalo, it's a lovely shop and 
has a cafe too.
Lunch and shopping with a friend,
what could be better?
They are also on Facebook, Instagram and TicTok.
They do TicTok live several times a week, so
if you are interested, look them up and see what
they are creating and how they do it.
They also sell during their lives, if you 
happen to be interested in an item.
Mention in the chat that you heard about them
here.  I'm sure you'll get a nice welcome.
I'm there in the chat most times too and can 
say hi.

Thanks for stopping by today,
I hope you'll go and check out what my girls
have to offer.
Let me know if you do.
Come again soon,
you never know what you'll see on 
Kristie Kreates.

Creative Eclipse Party

Good day my friends!
Today I'm showing you something a little different.
Where I live in Western NY State was right in the path 
of the recent solar eclipse.
My sister in law decided they would have an eclipse
party and she went all out with the theme.
The garage door was decorated with a backdrop for pictures
and information about the eclipse.
She made little signs for the food.
This was for little sandwiches on croissants.
We all contributed to lunch with a variety of salads.
Sun Chips were an appropriate snack.
And Sunflowers decorated the table.
For a sweet treat there were Milky Way bars.
Dessert was lemon meringue pie
Coconut cream dessert
and homemade Moon Pies.
ALL the food was Sunsational!
Here's our little Marie with her special 
eclipse glasses on.  Jaryd attached them to
a paper plate to be sure she wasn't looking aournd
the glasses rather than through them.
It was very cloudy here in WNY,
but we did have some breaks in the clouds 
and we did get to see the eclipse and get some
pictures.
These are a couple that I took during the
total eclipse.  It was an amazing thing to
experience. The darkness came on pretty quick
and left fairly quickly.  During the total eclipse,
it was pitch dark out.
Then the moon was moving on and the sun
was peeking out again.
Here's a picture of me, Dave, our friend Zoe
and Marie.
We had a fabulous time, it was something we'll always remember
and probably won't experience again.
Where were you during the eclipse?
Did you see it at all where you live?

Thanks for stopping by today.
Come again soon,
until then,
do something memorable.

Mom/Dad and Baby Stuffies

Hello everyone!
I hope you're having beautiful spring weather where you are.
Our weather has been up and down. 
One day it's in the 70s the next it's in the 40s,
but I'm confident that spring/summer will come and stay soon.
Today I have some stuffies I made for the grands for Easter.
I, again, used my book
I made 2 of each animal this time.
A Mom/Dad and a baby.
I made these elephants for Asher.
To make the different sizes, I simply used
different sized hooks.
Here is the Mom/Dad
And here is baby elephant.
Asher loved them.
These are the turtles I made for Marie.
Their heads seemed to have come out
a little tipped.  I decided they are both just
being inquisitive and that's why their heads
are tipped. lol
Here is Mom/Dad carrying little baby on it's back.
Here they are having a little kiss for each other.
Mom/Dad alone.
Baby just being cute.
Marie loved her turtles.
I was pleased with them and love that I made a pair
for each of the kids.

I'm glad you stopped by today to see what
I've been up to and I hope you'll come again soon.
Until then,
double your fun!
