Welcome to Crafty Creators Link Party, where you can share all of your wonderful crafts, DIYs, fashion, recipes, or any other thing that makes your heart happy! After you link up, I’d love it if you’d spread the word about the party! Remember, you must be following me on social media in order to be featured on next week’s party.
Don’t forget to link up on Happiness is Homemade. Now let’s get to the posts that I shared over the last week.
This week I shared ideas to create an adorable sunshine box that you can give to brighten someone’s day, along with free printable tags and labels to place on items in your box or jar. These are perfect back to school gifts for teachers as well as get well and “just because” gifts!
This Week’s Features!
These tassel earrings made by Julie of Sum of Their Stories are super cute, and you won’t believe how easy they are to make! With her tutorial, you can have earrings custom-made to match your outfit in minutes. Head over and pin the tutorial for later.
Doesn’t this funfetti cake dip look yummy?! Jenny of Cook Eat Go shared the recipe which she used when she went to a dip party. That sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Trying new dips with friends
Claire of Pillow Box Blue shared a tutorial for making gift bags out of regular wrapping paper. You can save money by making several bags from one roll, and you have the perfect size bag for every gift you give! This feature is not in the features collage because the file type of photos from the post would not work with the program that I was using for some reason. I tried everything I could for about an hour, so I truly apologize Claire!
Penny of Penny’s Vintage Home had the genius idea to update the plain Jane door that led to her garage with vintage frames. Now it fits right in with the rest of her unique tastes and design style (which I love!).
Summer is hot, hot, hot, and these lavender ice cube stirrers made by MaryJo of Master”pieces” of My Life are perfect to cool down your favorite beverage. They add a delicious, light flavor that will encourage you to drink more water!

On to Our Crafty Creators Link Party!
Hey friends! I’m writing from the road on an iPad, and I’m having a difficult time saving photos and uploading them to use on the features. I still wanted to get this party out to you. So, I will add the features as soon as I’m able to get somewhere to open my laptop! I’ll comment on your blog if you are chosen so that you can come back and see it. Sorry about this, but I’ll do my best to put the petal to the metal to get somewhere to get them out to you! Until them, link away!
PIN FOR LATER!

If you’ve been featured, remember to leave a comment letting me know you’re following me on social media, and I’ll schedule your feature on FB, IG, & Pinterest. I’ll tag you in the post so it shares to those following both of us!
