Toilet Paper Trick! Who Knew?!?

Happy Wednesday!  I just changed out some toilet paper rolls in our bathrooms and thought of a little tip I wanted to share with you! 

While making this quick video I realized a few things about myself...
1- I think my voice sounds funny when I listen to it recorded
2- I say ummm more than I should
3- I'm glad I got my nails done yesterday :)

Hope you enjoy!

Planter Before & After

It has been a very warm Spring here in Oklahoma, so I thought I would tackle the unsightly back patio planter.  It has been sitting there all winter looking all sad & ugly!  Last week I decided it was time, so I headed to Lowe's to get some fun plants.

Our home faces West so our back patio only gets morning sunlight.  I had to go with some shade loving plants.  Last year I planted flowers in there & they just didn't do well...  Heres to hoping these will!

Here is the finished product!  I LOVE how it turned out!  When the hosta's get a little bigger after the summer, I am going to plant them on the back side of the house.  It is a much prettier view for my morning cup of coffee on the patio!

 

Here is the awful before picture!

Next project is working on the front porch!  This will be AFTER my neck is feeling better!  Have a wonderful end of the week & weekend!

Linking up to these parties!

Princess Card

Hi Friends!  I got a new princess die cut & have been "die"ing to use it!  hehehe :)  I am going to use one for a birthday card for my niece in a couple of weeks.  I thought I would snap a few pictures as I was making it to show you how easy card making can be!

To make the card, I sandwiched the die in between two B plates for the Cuttlebug.  For those of you that aren't famililiar with with the Cuttlebug, it is basically an embossing machine that also workes with dies. 

Next, you roll in through the Cuttlebug.  It's a tight fit, but with a little muscle you can crank it through just fine! :)

Here's what it looks like after it comes out of the Cuttlebug.  Just peel away the scraps & you are left with a beautiful princess crown.

I wanted to give my crown a little sparkle, so I added some of my favorite Stickles!  (Please ignore that hideous skin around my thumbnail...ewww is all I can say!  A manicure is on my to-do list!)

Oh... I thought I should tell you that your die will leave marks on your B plate.  It's no big deal & will cut just the same!  Don't freak! :)

My original plan was to put it on the white cardstock for the card, but it was just not working for me.  That happens a lot!

I put a black mat behind it to make the crown POP!  I love it now!

Thanks so much for stopping by Jillify It! Have a fabulous day!

Our traditon of making a bunny cake!

Hey There! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! Our family had a great time with our family that came to stay with us for a few days. We had lots of food, an egg hunt and dyed eggs.

We also continued our tradition of making our bunny cake. We have made one every year since the girls were born!   Fun times!   Here are a couple of pictures of our bunny cake this year... Keep in mind that the girls decorate it!! lol

 It is made using two 9" round cakes.  The first one you leave in the circle shape.  That becomes his head.  The second circle becomes his ears and bowtie.  You cut a football shape from each side of the circle, and then the middle part left is his bowtie.  Assemble it on a jelly roll pan & icing...  It's that simple!!

Have a great Monday! :)
