Make Your Own Business Card Holder #TigerStrypesBlog 9

Make Your Own “Business Card Holder”(#TBCCrafters) I’ve been really trying to think about what to create for this weeks #TBCCrafters post, but figured we’re about halfway between Easter and Mother’s Day and there’s really nothing much happening right now.  I thought I would keep it simple and make something up that […]

Make Your Own Tablet Holder #TigerStrypesBlog 17

Make Your Own “Cutting Board” Tablet Holder(#TBCCrafters) I pray that you had a blessed Easter, or Resurrection Celebration, last week.  Our family celebrated with our church at their service…wonderful music, amazing teaching, a blessing for sure.  We then went out to lunch and enjoyed some time as a family.  Living […]

“Tie-Dye” Your Easter Eggs Craft(#TBCCrafters) Easter, or Resurrection Celebration, is just a few days away.  If you’re like many families, you’re getting ready to color some eggs to celebrate.  I know that there are some who don’t like this form of “tradition”, since they feel that it takes away from […]

*I was financially compensated for this post. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.* Three Things To Look For In A Cabinet Company Do you have that space in your garage, or your workshop that just needs some extra storage?  Who doesn’t, right?  We all can use […]


Plastic Canvas “Munching Bunnies” Craft #TigerStrypesBlog 17

Plastic Canvas “Munching Bunnies” Craft(#TBCCrafters) I figure with Easter, or Resurrection Celebration, just around the corner, that I would make some fun things for around the home or giving as gifts.  Even though the “bunnies” and “eggs” have nothing to do with what the day is truly about,  they are something […]

Spring Time Is For The Birds! Now that Spring is almost here, I get to see a lot of the little birds that left for the winter, coming back from their migration. Many people think that all birds fly south for the winter, but in my yard, all you have to […]


Make Some “Baby Chicks” For Spring #TigerStrypesBlog 11

Make Some “Baby Chicks” for Spring Well, since good old Winter has decided to not show his presence in our area this year, I figured it was best to just go on to Spring!  We only had about 3 days of snow this whole season, all of which melted in no […]

Decorate With A St. Patrick’s Day Blessing #TigerStrypesBlog 9

St. Patrick’s Day Blessing I haven’t had a lot of time for crafting this past week, but found this cute little “Duck” brand frame at Michael’s when we were traveling.  I know it was meant to be decorated with duct tape, like most of the youth are doing today, but I […]

Make Indoor S’Mores with a “CounterTop Campfire” 20

“CounterTop Campfire” I saw these cute little things over at The Budget Savvy Bride‘s website.  She was making them for the tables at a wedding and I thought, “Well, I’m not getting married, but it’s cold out!”  I figured that they would be perfect to use inside for marshmallows, when it’s […]

Give Some Love With “Valentine Gift Bags” 22

“Valentine Gift Bags” I recently got some new designs for my Silhouette Cameo and thought that these would be fun to make for Valentine’s Day.  I wanted something small for my son’s teachers, and most of the bags that are in the store, are either too cheap, too big, or too young.  Why not […]


Create a “Sweet Shark Valentine” #TigerStrypesBlog 20

  “Sweet Shark Valentine” Here’s a gift idea for your kids, or for their classrooms for Valentine’s Day.  It’s pretty easy to make, and even if you just had to trace an outline and cut it by hand, it wouldn’t be too hard. I saw this project in the newest […]

Make Some Cute “Clothespin Couples” #TigerStrypesBlog 34

“Clothespin Couples” Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s the time of year that so many put emphasis on love and showing each other how we care.  Shouldn’t we be doing that everyday?  It always cracks me up how much people put into the 2nd week of February. […]


Have Some “40th Birthday Fun” #TigerStrypesBlog 11

“40th Birthday Fun” #TBCCrafters Hop So, I turned 40 on Monday, crazy how time flies.  I remember back in the day, I thought that 40 was really old, now that I’m here, I think that the “hill” has just gotten further away…or maybe it’s just because I can’t see it […]
