Birthday Gurl

Remember these...? 

I recently posted these 2 projects (seperatly) and now they are finding a home together.  I wanted to pop in a quick post showing what I do with my projects after they've been posted on here. 

My daughters friend is having a birthday and asked me if I had any birthday cards...UM YA I DO! Click HERE to check out my Simply Betty Challenges card and get all the details on this cute card.  For all the juicy details on my little gift bag click HERE!  This little party favor bag isn't just for cupcakes and candies.  Think outside the box!  For teenage girls it's perfect to fill wil nail polish, gift cards or fun jewlery!  In this case I stuffed mine with 4 bright fun nail polish bottles! 

If you're trying to think of a gift for a teenager I hope this inspires you!  And yes... a lot of the projects you see on my blog find homes!

Steampunk Romance Hop

Romance is in the air with these Steampunks!  Welcome to this Romance Hop and you should be just hopping in from Meredith's Blog.  I used 2 Steampunks, Emma with her love note and Mercius with his heart.  I thought these 2 paired up together are simply lovely!  I used my Vintage DP from Stampin Up and accented with black lace ribbon!  Very Romantic! 

The sentiment is Scrappy Moms Stamps new "Love Notes" set and it's a perfect marriage to these Streampunks.  But if you notice...I got red ink all over my Emma:'(  Oh well I'll go with "I meant to do that"! 

I embellished with a Tim Holtz Vintage Clip and a MS Heart boarder punch. 

Thanks for hopping through and now you're ready for Suzi's Masterpiece!

SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge- CAC

Late to the party...again!  My renovations are coming along but they are making me behind on all the fun crafty things.  This weeks Terrific Tuesday Challenge is Create A Critter.  Scrappy Moms Stamps has a fun stamp set called Furry Friends!  For my CAC card I went with this cute skunk and his "Scent-sational" day!  I went with a 5x5 card, some spooky Halloween DP, added a little floral bling and some purple ribbon!  This card maybe took about 20 min to build. 

Check out what the rest of the DT has whipped up to inspire you and play along by clicking HERE!  Play along for your chance to win Furry Friends!

"Recycle" Don't Toss it, Use it!

Day 3 of Blogger Sucking...

OK for this weeks challenge we are doing a "Recycle" challenge!  OH YA...YOU KNOW I'M LOVIN IT!  This is right inline with the stuff I love to create!  For my challenge I recycled "Spiderella" from a past project back in Halloween!  Then I used some of the red bag from my firewood I got back in the fall!  My sentiment is from the new SCRAPPY MOMS STAMPS set called "FURRY FRIENDS".  I would LINK all this important info...if Blogger would let me. 

All the links "are" down my sidebar for Simply Betty Stamps and Scrappy Moms Stamps if you want to check out all the goodies!

Baby Shower Invitations

Blogger is still having fun with my text and placement.  Maybe it will let me fix it later? 

Until then I have been making Baby Invitations all morning!  My girlfriend had her baby on Feb 5th and now I get to make the invitations for her baby shower.  These cute little invites were fast and easy to make.  But...it's ALL stamping (Stamping Up stamps) and that is something I am never good at!  So everything is a little crooked;)  All these stamps I borrowed from my crafty BFF!  Thank goodness I have friends that have all the things I don't!

I used these mini clothes pegs I had with some ribbon and popped the Onesies up on dimentionals.  I had seen something similar a couple weeks ago on Facebook and loved it.  But that card was hearts.  I picked a couple spots to add a little Stickles to spice up these little boy cards. 

Thanks for popping in and for the love if you leave it:)

SMS Furry Friends Sneak Peek

Blogger is still not working for me but I at least manage to find a round about way to add my photo's...in through the HTML!  So I'm sorry the post isn't centered and there's no links:(

Scrappy Moms Stamps (button w/link down my sidebar) has a new stamp set called "FURRY FRIENDS" that the DT (DT blogs w/links also down my sidebar) is sneak peeking all week.  So while I was waiting for the plumber to not show up this morning to leave a HUGE HOLE in my floor (BTW I heard he got fired today) I worked on my sneak peek!  Well I worked on a few cards.  I'm just thankful I could at least get one on!  This little guy is cut from the  CAC cart.  My Bloggy BFF Liz and fellow DT Member cut me a bunch of images last year and when I'm in a pinch I grab them!  I am so spoiled!  I heart her and you can find her link down my sidebar too...Liz's Paper Loft! 

Ohhh look at that.  If I press enter after my photo it centers.  Lucky me!  Sorry for no links and extra work.  I hope blogger get's their $hit together and get's my blog working again!  I have more posts and I don't know if I can remember how I even got these pictures on here.  HTML or not! 

Winner and Blogger Issues!

Firstly, Blogger is having a meltdown today!  It won't let me set the text, font size, link or location!  So bare with me and my untidy post!  I'll make it quick!

Rio's Birthday Card

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIO!!!!!

Wow...I almost missed this post!  I made this card a few weeks ago and just realized I needed to post it...TODAY! 

Oh ya, a little Hot Pink, Lime and Orange...these are Rio's favorite colours.  I carried these colours through in my colouring too!  I used my new MS Heart punch...how cute!  I sent this to Rio a couple weeks ago so hopefully it's there for her to open tonight. If you don't recall what got us to this card click HERE to refresh your memory;)

The sentiments are from 2 Scrappy Moms Stamps, Designers Choice and Simple Sentiments.  And since she's Betty's daughter I had to use my stamp in the set "Get your Creep On"!

She's all coloured up and sprakled out with Stickles!

Have a wonderful Birthday Rio!!!!

Two Chics and a Birthday Hop

***If you are HERE for the "Love is in the Air" Blog Hop

keep scrolling down and you'll see it!***

Are you counting...this is Blog Hop #7 and it's the Final Hop for my EPIC GIVEAWAY!

You've Hopped all this way so I'm going to try and keep my whit short since there are so many fabulous pictures for my HALLOWEEN inspired BIRTHDAY!  BOO!!!!  If you are just arriving to my blog from Denise's blog then you have finally made it to the end.  PHEW... 

I have never made one of these before so I assume it's called a mini album using 4x4 chipboard costers.  I picked up the rings to hold it from Walmart and all that Halloween Ribbon is left over.  No Digi's in this project.  It's meant to hold photo's of Halloween Partiers.  The clip is Tim Hotlz and I embossed some tin foil with the Tim Holtz Halloween folders then cut out the skull!

The paper pack is 6x6 Hocus Pocus paper I grabbed at 75% off including all the embellies!  I grabbed the 12x12 pack too!

Each page is distressed with ink and embellished with embossed tear outs, embelishments and ribbon.  Leaving room for small photo's.

There were also match Rub-On's so I used every one!

Tim Holtz clip and some left over Halloween ribbon is added to this punched out skeleton in matching paper.

I also stamped the paper with my Halloween stamps to add to the layering.

These little postage inspired embelishments are not Halloween at all but the colours are similar so I added them to the pages.

This shows the layering of paper, stamps, rub-ons, canvas embellishment and ribbon.  Each paper was cut at 4 1/4" rounded square using my Cricut and trimmed to get the perfect fit.

Ribbon left over from Halloween is randomly tied on the metal rings.

Using my Tag punches I wrote my sentiment then distressted the tag with ink.  Topping it off with my funky Tim Holtz clip and ribbon.

Pat yourself on the back...you made it through the hop and all my photo's!  I'm a wee bit nervous having never made these before, hope you liked it???
