soccermom23Feb 10, 2012 08:57 PM

I like the shape of this card. Is this a cricut cut-out? I also love the glitter paper. I love to make things sparkle! Thanks so much for the inspiration (and for the chance to win a great stamp set):)

Congrats! Please email me (I have a contact me button on the right) and I'll get these out to you this weekend. Oh and it was a Cricut cut from Wild Card.

Thanks to everyone for the sweet comments you leave. I really appreciate you all!! I hope to have a project for tomorrow, since I have a box full of goodies to play with :)

Candy Treats with Video

2012-02-14T07:00:00.003-05:00

Hello everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day! Today I have a video for you--only my 2nd and I still have so much to learn (this is way out of my comfort zone). One thing to learn is a better way to have my camera behind me so that everything is not too close up! I just wanted to do this short video to help with assembly of the candy boxes on Victorian Romance. They seem tricky at 1st, but once you put one together, it makes so much more sense! The thing that takes the longest is the scoring, but I did not show that part. I just put together one end for you to give you the idea. And I think that even though there are hearts, on the ends, you can use them for other things than just Valentine's Day.

Here are the details and a completed picture of 3 boxes I made:

Victorian Romance Candy box cut at 5 1/2 inches
Plantin Schoolbook Circles cut at 1 and 1 1/4 inches
My Pink Stamper From the Heart Set
Little Yellow Bicycle Candy Hears on Pink with Foil Cardstock
Blossom Twine from The Twinery
For Blue box--ki memories Heartbeat Infatuation Cardstock

My Pink Stamper Love-alicious stamps

Thanks so much for stopping by! I really do appreciate everyone who visits :)

Love You!

2012-02-13T07:00:00.006-05:00

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! I have a last minute Valentine card for you today. My video on the candy boxes will have to wait until tomorrow--still trying to have the time to upload it.

Here are the details:

Birds cut from Celebrate with a Flourish at 3 inches
Mat cut from Elegant Edges at 3.75 inches x 5 inches
My Pink Stamper Love-alicious stamp
Bazzill Paper--pinks and pink glitter
Organza Ribbon
Heat set gems
Flamingo Pink Aqua Marker
Pop dots
Corner Chomper

I still have to learn how to use my markers. Hopefully, I can find a good video and get some tips :)

Have a great day! And don't forget, I will announce a winner of the My Pink Stamper stamps on Wednesday.

Sock Cupcakes

2012-02-12T08:00:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous weekend :) It's actually been cold here--and very windy. But we haven't had much cold weather in GA this year so no complaining! I stayed in on Saturday and made a few things since I didn't want to get blown over--LOL!

Here are some sock cupcakes I made for my daughter and her friends. I have always wanted to make these and just never did until yesterday.

And the details:

Cupcake Wrappers cartridge cut at 2 3/4 inches
Victorian Romance heart tag cut at 2 inches
My Pink Stamper Happiest Moments stamp
Bazzill Glitter Paper (Pink and Purple)
White Cardstock
Pink and purple organdy ribbon

These are so fun!! I used the hearts that cut out of the cupcake wrapper as 'sprinkles' on the cupcakes. The socks came from Michaels and were $2. I am going to hunt for some more good deals on them and make these for Christmas gifts for coworkers this year. The Cupcake Wrapper cartridge has so many choices for any holiday or occasion, that I can't wait to make more!

I hope to have a quick video up for you tomorrow. Only my second one and it just shows how to put together the candy box from Victorian Romance. They seem a bit confusing at 1st so I thought a video would be a good idea :)

You can still leave a comment on Friday's Pinkalicious Blog Hop post for your chance to win a My Pink Stamper stamp set from me. I'll leave it open until Tuesday night and announce the winner on Wednesday!

Pinkalicious Blog Hop!

2012-02-10T21:00:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! Welcome to the My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious February Blog Hop! Fridays are even more fun when you can hop. If you have just come from the fabulous Cristi you are on track. If you haven't make sure to start at Robyn, My Pink Stamper, so you do not miss a thing!

Today's challenge is to use the color red, a circle, pink ribbon and more than one My Pink Stamper stamp. I have to say that this was a challenge for me. I was making a treat box, but the picture didn't show the red on the pattern paper very well. So I ended up making a circle card. Not my best work though!

Here are the details:

My Pink Stamper From the Heart Set: Hugs, Kisses, Happy Valentines Day, Big & Small heart
Wild Card--base and circle cut at 5 1/2 inches; Oval cut at 5 inches
Bazzill Bassics red and pink glitter paper
Pink Organza ribbon
red ink
pop dots

I stamped hugs, heart, kisses in red ink onto the red card base. It's a bit hard to see in a picture but I think you can see a bit of it. I arranged the 3 stamps onto a block and stamped at once. This is so easy to do with all of Robyn's stamps :)

Your next stop on the Hop is the wonderful June. After you visit everyone, make sure to head back to Robyn's blog and play along!

I do have a My Pink Stamper stamp set to giveaway today! Leave one comment for your chance to win Robyn's Birthday Crazy set. The last time we had a hop, there were blogger comment problems if you were using Internet Explorer. So if you find you are having trouble leaving a comment today, try Firefox (I switched to that myself) or Google Chrome.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Here's the whole hop list in order in case you get lost along the way.

Piggy Love

2012-02-03T08:59:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! I have been trying to make something all week, but haven't had the chance until last night. Wednesday night I was at my table and had my Gypsy on, but my dog kept whining at me--she wanted to be in my lap! So I caved--she's too cute :)

This is just a small 3 x 3 card I made for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week. And I thought I would never get it done since my son kept asking me how to do things in Word--LOL!

Here are the details:

Pig from Create A Critter cut at 2 3/4 inche
Top mat from Elegant Edges cut at 3 inches
My Pink Stamper Love-alicious stamp
Core' dinations Cardstock: dark pink; Glitter pink
Bazzill Basics: Petunia; black
Blossom Twine from The Twinery
Glam Pink Stickles
Pop Dots

I really love the Create a Critter cartridge and should use it more. And I planned on using a punny stamp when I picked out the pig (Hogs & Kisses) but you can't fit much on a 3x3 card :)

Oh--I almost forgot! I just got in some Aqua Markers by the same people who make Pro Markers yesterday and used a pink one to add some color to the edges of the card and piggie. I have to practice some more, so will go into more details another day. But I am excited to add something to my creations!

Have a fabulous day everyone!

Another Valentine

2012-01-29T07:00:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone! Here's another Valentine card I made. I've been having fun making them lately!

Here are the details:

Heart cut from Love Struck at 3 inches
My Pink Stamper From the Heart Stamp
Bazzill Basics Petunia cardstock
The Paper Company Red Linen cardstock
Martha Stewart Crafts Valentine Paper pack
Marachino Twine from The Twinery
Heart shaped iRock bling

I have been wanting the Love Struck cartridge forever, but it was so hard to fine. I was so happy that it's in the digital form now. And after the download, update your Gypsy and it will be on there!! I was so happy to find this out! I have not used the Craft Room since you can't use your cartridges that are linked to your Gypsy and ALL of mine are.

Oh, and I love the shaped iRock bling!! I saw some diamond shapes at the store, but haven't bought them yet.

Have a great Sunday!

Happy Bee-lated Birthday

2012-01-27T07:00:00.000-05:00

Hello! Just wanted to show you a belated birthday card I sent out this week. You all probably know that it was Robyn, My Pink Stamper's birthday on Tuesday. Well, I am not always very good at getting cards out on time, but really wanted to send her one. So I made this card using one of her Punny-licious stamps to send.

Here are the details:

My Pink Stamper Even More Punny-licious stamp
Bee from Create a Critter cut at 3 1/2 inches
DCWV Lemon Flower Stack paper
Bazzill Basics Grapefruit Bliss and Petunia Cardstock
Sew Easy Loop de Loop
Charcoal Twine from The Twinery
Action Wobble
Glam Pink and Frosted Lace Stickles

This was the 1st time using my Sew Easy that I just had to have! I actually do like it. It's not the quickest thing to do, but I love how it turned out!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!! I hope to get some more organizing done and hopefully some more cards or scrap pages :)

Sophisticated Cartridge cut at 2 inches for front of box

Have a wonderful day!

Bananas 4 you!

2012-01-23T07:00:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I had a great House Party at my house Friday night, then spent 2 whole days with some wonderful ladies at a Cricut Swarm near me. Oh, and I received some fabulous news too :) Does the weekend have to be over?

Here's a Valentine card I made over the weekend. I made several projects and have decided to spread them out a bit. So look for the next one on Wednesday in the My Pink Stamper Design Team post day!! So glad that we are getting back on schedule over there :)

My wonderful friend and table-mate for the weekend Angie was cutting these adorable monkeys for goodie bags and cut a bit extra. She shared with me and I put them together with the bananas and vine to make the card.

Party Bag and Pinkalicious Winner

2012-01-19T09:29:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for everyone who was able to stop by and visit over the weekend for the Pink-alicous Blog Hop. Blogger did not want to work for me either on Internet Explorer. I found out on Sunday that it's working just fine on Firefox though. So I have officially switched over!

Here's a quick project I threw together for a House Party that I am having tomorrow night. It's for the Glade Fresh Air products. Then on Saturday and Sunday I am going to a Cricut Crop in my area!! I think I crammed a ton into this one weekend--I am going to need a day off next week--hope I can make that happen :)

I used Preserves for the tag cut at 5 inches. Then I used My Pink Stamper Fancy Phrases--this was the perfect stamp for my bags! The edges are inked and I added yellow iRock glam rocks and The Twinery Buttercream Twine to tie them on! The picture is not the best--sorry about that. I will try to take one in better light before I give them away!

Now, I'm sure you would love to know the winner of the My Pink Stamper Love-alicous set!! Random.org picked #23:

Today's theme is a fresh clean start! Make something for yourself or that you would give someone to welcome the fresh clean start of a New Year! And I have to say that I really love what I made for today :)

I decided to make a mini book to record my quest to be published this year. Plus I just got a Bind It All for Christmas and this was the perfect way to try it out!

My plan is to record my projects for the year, especially when I submit projects for publication, and other fun scrap related events (like a cricut get together I'm going to next weekend!). I used the Encourage Me set for the front--these are great inspirational stamps and the Scrap-alicious set for inside the book. I'm going to add as the year goes on :) I think I'm going to be making a lot of books this year too!

Now your next stop on the hop is the fabulous Missy. And don't forget when you are all done to go back to My Pink Stamper and play along!

2012-01-09T14:12:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a great start to your week!! It's busy at my job, but I thought I would take a quick blog break :)

I actually made several projects this weekend, but I can't show them!! I made three cards to submit for publication. For over a year, I have been wanting to submit but haven't had the time, or courage for that matter :) But I just decided to go for it!!

And I did make one more project that I can't show until Friday night. It's another My Pink Stamper Blog Hop!! I'm so excited--I really love what I made and can't wait to show you!

I hope to make some things that I can show you tonight and try to get back to regular posting now that everything is going back to normal :)

Have a great day!

Happy New Year and Winner!

2012-01-01T11:06:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year everyone!! I can't believe it's 2012 already--time sure does fly :) Here's a quick card I made the other night. I had some trouble with my E2 around the holidays--it wasn't cutting. I was trying to cut out bunches of snow flakes and wanted to have 2 machines going at the same time. But at least I still had my Pink E to keep going.

So I sat down with my E2 the other night and just used it without my Gypsy to cut this hat from Cricut American Alphabet. I was so happy that it worked!!

Here are the details:

Cricut American Alphabet hat cut at 4 inches
My Pink Stamper Happy Everything stamp
Denim Twine from The Twinery
Doodlebug Petite Prints Blue Jean Dot Grid paper
Action Wobble
Blue Skittles
Stickles

My Pink Stamper 12 Days of Christmas

2011-12-21T10:00:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone! Today is day 8 on My Pink Stamper's 12 Days of Christmas. And for her post today, is my 1st ever video!! It was a super simple card for my 1st time, but it might inspire you if you need a quick card since there are only 4 days until Christmas.

Here is a photo of the finished card. And make sure to head over to Robyn's blog to see the video and your chance to win some fun prizes!!

I used My Pink Stamper's Biggie Christmas Sentiments, Art Philosophy Cartridge, Maraschino Twine from The Twinery and the iRock.

Until next time!

Peace and Good Will

2011-12-19T09:53:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone! I have been so crazy trying to get everything that needs to be done for Christmas done, as I'm sure several of you have been too :) But I think that I am on the right track and feel a little more sane right now. Of course, it helps that my work is shut down already so I am on vacation today and the next 2 weeks -- LOL!

Here is my Christmas card. I really went from making cards, to wanting to buy photo cards, to no cards, and finally just had to make some! Most of them are going out today and I hope to finish off writing a few more to also get in the mail. Nothing like last minute!!

Details:

My Pink Stamper Biggie Christmas Sentiments
Trees cut at 5 inches; Star cut a 3 1/2 inches from the Cricut Christmas Cartridge
Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder
Buttercream Twine from The Twinery
Frosted Lace and Yellow Stickles
Pop dots

I used my Gypsy to flip the trees so the small tree was on the left. I then had to flip the snow cut that is at the bottome of it too. My goal was to have a pretty good card that wasn't too hard to put together. I made 30 of these in 2 days, so I think it went o.k.

Don't forget that My Pink Stamper's 12 days of Christmas is going on right now. There are videos everyday (mine is on Wednesday) and lots of prizes. So be sure to check there every day!

A Few Things I've Made

2011-12-13T07:00:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! I thought I would pop in to show you a few things I've made for my daughter to give out. I'm still not done--more food to make and bake :) I've made my 1st ever video!! It's going to be for My Pink Stampers 12 Days of Christmas!! Make sure to tune in every day on her blog so you can see all the fun she has in store for you.

Here's some Mini M & M tubes I've made. There are 50 total, but they are not all done yet. The tags came from Very Merry Tags and the Holly Jolly is from My Pink Stamper Christmas Wishes set.

Then I made 6 more of these fun Peppermint boxes which came from the Art Philsophy Cartridge and the tag from Very Merry Tags.

Both projects have Maraschino Twine from the Twinery--Love that stuff!!

I should have a really big giveaway soon--I am just 8 followers away from 1,000--I can't belive it!! And on my last post, I showed you some pictures from our office decorating contest, which we won!! It's been a very busy, but fun time around in my life :)

Have a wonderful day!!

What I've been up to lately

2011-12-08T09:59:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! I have been so super busy lately as I'm sure so many of you are too. We worked for a week on making a Winter Wonderland in our office for a decorating contest. I had the perfect way to make snowflakes with my Cricut, of course! Here are some pictures of the finished room. We find out today who the winner is.

My co-worker should be an interior designer! I made the 'snow' with fishing wire and cotton balls. I had found the idea on Pinterest--love that site! And I cut out lots of snowflakes with my Cricut.

I am also working on my very first video!! I think I need to redo it and plus, I can't show it yet. But, I will let you know where to view it :)

And I'm in the middle of several projects, which really need to be done in the next week since some of them are for people I won't see after next Friday. Hopefully, I can get some things finished this weekend and then that will give me some blog posts to show you!

I hope you have a great day!!

My Pink Stamper Post Day!

2011-11-22T09:00:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone! It a My Pink Stamper post day!!

For today's post, we are showing you some of Robyn's newest sets, and a different fold card. Now, I have not done these before, but I decided to use the Easel card. This is a pretty easy one to do!

My set that I used is My Pink Stamper From the Heart set. The card, when folded is 4 1/4 square. I'm still not sure that I cut and scored it right--when I attached the top part, the bottom was hanging over. So I just cut it to even out with the top :)

Here are the items used to make it:

My Pink Stamper From the Heart set (sentiment and hearts)
Large heart from Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cut at 3 1/2 inches; small hearts are leftover cuts that were on my desk :)
Maraschino Twine from The Twinery
Martha Stewart edge punch
Christmas Red Stickles

Make sure to visit My Pink Stamper to see all the Design team's creative cards--I can't wait to see them too!!

Klutz Stamp Art Review and Giveaway!

2011-11-21T07:00:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone! Today I have a Klutz Stamp Art review for you. I was sent a copy of this Activity Book to review and give my viewers a chance to win a copy! This is the perfect gift for kids ages 8 and up. I was especially happy to get this to review since I have a 12 year old daughter to help!

“Arts, Crafts & Laughs. The Perfect Holiday Gift for Any Child!”

This is the description from the company: Stamp Art makes stamping simpler -- and more creative -- than ever. Stick the included shapes on the see-through acrylic block to create your own one-of-a-kind stamp design. Full of inspirational artwork and instruction, this stamp-right-in-it book shows how to create animals, flowers, houses, aliens... anything you can dream up.

My daughter played a bit with this book this past week. She has this whole week off, so I'm hoping she'll create some more fun for me to post later this week :) It comes with 3 double-sided colored pencils and a small black ink pad. The stamps were a little tough to get off the backing at 1st, but my daughter did it all herself and did not want me to help. They stick back on and come off much easier now. It's a really fun, creative activity!

I just love the wild haired face she made at the top. And the one on the right started out as a chicken but turned into a purple, chicken moose--LOL! That is the great thing about these shapes, your child's imagination can soar!! She wasn't going to finish since it turned out different, but I encouraged her to and we had the best time giggling about it :)

She stamped the big flower at the bottom, the rest were already on the page. The book aslo suggests different things you can make such as bookmarks, cards, and ornaments. I tried to stamp one thing, but my daughter's were just so much better!

Here are the Klutz links so you can see more information on how to order

2011-11-11T21:03:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone! It's the My Pinkalicious Bog Hop night!! If you have just come from Shelley, you are on the right track. But if you just happened upon my blog, be sure to start at My Pink Stamper to see all the fun projects the design team has made.

Today's hop challenge is to make a scrapbook page or mini album. I decided to go with a mini album! And the design team is showing stamps from Robyn's latest release. My set today is the fabulous From the Heart set :)

I used Elegant Edges to make the pages, all cut at 6 inches square. Then I used my new Ribbons and Rosettes to decorate the front along with twine and My Pink Stamper From the Heart Set! The Rosette is cut at 1 1/2 inches, 4 times and glued together; twine is Marachino Twine from the Twinery. I only finished the 1st page of the album, but there are 6 pages total. To assemble the album, I used my hot glue gun the stick together and put in my Your Story Mini to make sure it bound together tightly.

Make sure to go back to Robyn's blog when you are finished and so you can see where to purchase her awesome newest (and other) sets!!!

Your next stop on the hop is Edna (Create With Expression)! Have fun and I hope to see your project this weekend!!!

I do have a small giveaway for you -- ribbon and a 6x6 scrapbook stack. Just leave one comment and I will draw a winner on Wednesday!!

2011-11-03T07:00:00.001-04:00

Hello everyone! It's been such a busy week that I have not had time to play with my Cricut! And I got three new cartridges in the mail this week :) But I will make time this weekend and hopefully make some scrapbook pages since I just got the Scrap'n Easle yesterday too. I can't wait to use it!!

I was tired last night so I took the laptop to my bedroom and put together a quick digital page while trying to keep my feet warm :)

I used the free Scrappy Hollow embellishments and a dotty background that came with the software from My Memories. Don't forget that you can use the coupon code I have in my side bar to buy this software for yourself and save $10!

I added the border on the picture and the word art, but everything else was from Spooky Town! This is how my kids dressed for Halloween this year. I miss the cute days when they were princes and princesses!! But my son is a ham, and I could only get his picture with him acting like a Zombie too.

Have a great day!! Oh, and there is one more winner that I have not heard from on my 5 days of giveaways. It's Kimberli, who won the Martha Stewart Score Board. Please contact me soon so I can get it out to you!

My Memories Suite Review and Giveaway

2011-10-19T07:00:00.012-04:00

Hello everyone! My Memories Suite contacted me to review their digital scrapbook software and to give one away to one of my followers too! Stay tuned to the end of the post for details on how to win :)

I have never tried digital scrapbooking before trying My Memories Suite. I think it is a lot of fun! It comes with papers and extras already with the software. Their website has lots of freebies and sales too. You can do so much more than just scrapbook pages.

Here is a page that I made for our puppy Charlie. I did not use a template, just placed everything on my own. The software let me save this as a jpeg to my computer so I could just pull it up and add here--I think this is so cool!

I have not tried printing yet, as I do not have a good photo printer. I think I will have to invest in one -- LOL! This will be a fun addition to my scrapbooking. I think I would love to print out pages and still add some dimension. But, hopefully I can get caught up a bit since I am way behind.

This is a free card template that I found on the My Memories site. I can't wait to print it out!!

Isn't it cute?! And what is so great about this software is that you can leave the album all digital and even add music and narration. This would be great to send to out of town family members. I think I will try this for Christmas for my family out of state.

Here's 2 pages from a 6 page album that was ready to go. All I had to do was add some text and my pictures. It took me maybe 30 minutes!

Now that you have seen the few things I have made, go visit My Memories Suite and check it out for yourself. Come back here and tell me your favorite paper pack and you will be eligible to win this software for yourself! There are lots to choose from so grab your coffee or tea and browse away :)

If you are not a winner, you can purchase this software for yourself and get $10 off with this code when you check out: STMMMS61574. And if you are on Facebook, make sure to LIKE My Memories -- they have giveaways, freebies, and fun challenges! I know you will have fun with it too :)

2011-10-17T06:00:00.000-04:00

Hi eveyone! Fantabulous Cricut Challange Me Monday day is here! Today's challenge is Purple People Eater-use purple and a monster or bug on your project :) So fun!!

My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns
Doodlecharms:

Monster Mania Monster Dots Paper
Doodle Twine Halloween Assortment

When I went to cut out the monster, the pieces for the eyes and mouth looked so tiny that I decided not to even cut them out. I knew I would use the stickles for the mouth and then I pulled out these fun googly eyes I bought in September but hadn't used yet. Half the package has extended eyes that bug out. You can see this in the second picture.

I hope you have time to play along this week!! Make sure to visit Fantabulous Cricut to see all the Design Team's Purple People Eaters :)

My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop

2011-10-14T21:00:00.001-04:00

Hello everyone!! I just love the 2nd Friday of the month--it's a Pink-alicious Blog Hop night!! If you have just come from Edna's amazing blog Create with Expression, then you are in the right place. If not, make sure to head over to My Pink Stamper so you can enjoy all the projects!

Today's challenge is to make a Treat or Goodie Bag with any holiday them and we had to use Yummy-licious or Sweet Goodness. Mine is more of a box from Art Philosophy (of course!).

This next view shows the side. It has a cut in the flaps you can't see so those sides just hook together. Then you finish off the top with ribbon, or twine like I did. These will go together so quickly and would make great treat boxes for school kids too!

My Pink Stamper Yummy-licious set
Art Philosophy box cut at 11 inches
Very Merry Tags peppermint cut at 2 1/2 inches
My Minds Eye Peppermint Patty 12 Days of Christmas paper
Heat set gems with the iRock

This was so super easy to put together! I think I'm going to get some more of this paper and make these for some co-worker's for Christmas and probably put some peppermints in them.

Your next stop is Agnes and her fabulous Flowerdisco's Scrap Hut blog. When you make it to the end, m ake sure to go back to My Pink Stamper to see where you can buy all her fabulous stamps and to link up your own project that you make for this challenge!

Since you have made it to the end, I have a treat for one lucky comment! Please leave one comment with a way for me to get in touch with you for a chance to win a My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns stamp set. I will draw a winner on Tuesday and ship out as soon as I get the address so that you may have them in time for making Halloween goodies! Giveaway is over.

Christmas Tree

2011-10-13T06:00:00.002-04:00

Hi everyone!

I was going to post this yesterday, but my daughter had a chorus concert Tuesday night so the post did not get written :)

I've been working on Halloween and Fall cards and I am probably not done making those. But today, I have a Christmas Card! Not mine, haven't started those yet -- LOL! This was for a card swap I am in.

Here are the details:

Art Philosophy Cartridge tree cut at 3 1/2 inches
Create a Critter light string cut at 1 1/4 inches
My Pink Stamper
My Minds Eye 12 days of Christmas Season's Greetings paper
American Crafts glitter ribbon
Christmas red, Christmas (green w/red), and Gold Stickles
pop dots

This card is the 3rd version. I was going 2 different directions for it and even have 22 scallop label cuts that did not make it on this version ready for something else :)

Today is the last day of round 2 voting over at Practical Scrappers. I'm working on the next round's card now so hope to see it on there site on Saturday :) Here's the link and the instructions from them: http://www.practicalscrappers.com/2011/10/card-contest-finalists-round-two.html

Too Cute to Spook!

2011-10-11T06:00:00.011-04:00

Hello! Here's the 2nd challenge card I made over the weekend. I just LOVE this one! It really is cute :)

Here are the details:

Mini Monsters Spider cut at 2 1/2 inches
Elegant Edges border cut at 4 inches by 1 inch
My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns
Spiderweb Cuttlebug Folder (borrowed)
Black Twine From the Twinery
iRock
Magenta and Cotton Candy Stickles
Action Wobble

This was really easy to put together. The eyes on the spider are so tiny and I lost one. My table mate (hi Angie!!) suggeted the iRock eyes which was just perfect--I used two different sizes on that. Then I made the spider hang but left the twine loose and used an Action Wobble to attach the spider.

If you have a chance, I would appreciate a vote over at the Practical Scrappers Card Making Contest I am in. Card Contest Link You can vote everyday :) I really to thank everyone who is supporting me through this contest!! Found on Practical Scrappers: *if you are unable to cast a vote but wish to you may send a vote via email to practicalscrapperscards@gmail.com*

Spooky!

2011-10-10T06:00:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! I was at a Swarm this weekend close to home and had a fabulous time! I worked on a blog hop project for Friday night, 23 swap cards (which are quite done since I needed ribbon), and 2 challenge cards. Here's one of them.

And the details:

3 Birds on Parade

bird cut at 3 1/2 inches
Spooky cut at 11/2 inches

Cuttlebug Candy folder (borrowed at Swarm)
My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns
DCWV Ghosts and Goblins Stack
iRock
Black Diamond Stickles

This is for a sketch challenge on the Circle board. I really feel that I don't do my best work when I follow a sketch, but I like to try. The bird was a bit bigger than I thought it would be but I just went with it anyway since it was so cute :)

One of the best things about getting together with other crafters is that you can try new things. But the downside is then you want to buy it! So now I need several cuttlebug folders and a new cartridge or two that I thought I did not need before :)

Beware of the Spider

2011-10-08T12:16:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! Today is the day--I made it through to the next round of the Practical Scrappers Card Making Contest!!!! Thanks so much for all your support :) The next round is a voting round as well. So if you could, please vote for me. You can vote once a day and you just need to go to this link Practical Scrappers: Card Contest Finalists Round Two and leave a comment with my name again. I would really appreciate it!

This is the card I made for the next round. I made 3 different ones but my daughter thought this one was the one to send. I really liked yesterday's too, so I hope I made the right decision.

Here are the details:

Chic and Scary

Web cut from Vellum at 4 1/2 inches
Spider cut at 2 inches

My Pink Stamper Spook-alicious stamp
Echo Park Apothecary Emporium paper (web paper behind purple
Doodlebug

Halloween Assortment Twine
Spooky Town Mini Jewels (purple gem on twine)

Marth Stewart Web Edge Punch
iRock gems (on web)
Black Diamond Stickles
Zip Dry
Pop Dots

I covered the spider in the Black Diamond stickles and let it dry. This made the legs curl just a bit. when I pop dotted it onto the web, I was able to bend the legs towards the web to make it look like it's grabbing on. The card is a 5 1/2 inch square.

Thanks again everyone!!!

Better Together

2011-10-07T08:34:00.000-04:00

Everyday Paper Dolls leaves cut at 8 inches
My Pink Stamper Friend-tastic stamp
Imaginisce leaves paper

Cappuccino Twine from the Twinery
Paprika Stickles
Signo white pen

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Friday!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Mickey's Halloween Party 2010

2011-10-05T06:00:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone! Today I have a scrapbook page I made last week. It's so much fun to scap the pictures from our Disney trip last year. But it makes me want to go back!!

Here are the details:

Alphalicious letters for the title cut at 3/4 inch with the shadow button
Elegant Edges journal spot cut at 2 inches
DCWV paper (not sure what stack)
EK Success Disney Pirate Mickely Dimensional Stickers

I was spinning my Clip it up while I was organizing and found the Mickey stickers. I'm so glad, since I am sure this is why I bought it. For the title, I originally cut it out in black in the regular cut and realized it would not look good without the white shadow. Well, this is a tiny size and was too hard to get the black off, so I just used the white.

Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Saturday and had a chance to create on World Card Making Day. I made three cards to show you over the next week. One of them might be for the next part of the Card Making Contest I'm in with Practical Scrappers. So I'm going to hold off showing it. I hope to make another one that I might send in today but I do have to run all the errands I didn't do yesterday :)

Here are the details of the 1st card I made:

Teresa Collins Chic and Scary Pumpkin cut at 2 1/2 inches
Elegant Edges cut at 5 inches
Platin Schoolbook circle cut at 2 1/2 inches (I cut some of it off and glued it behind the pumpkin)
My Pink Stamper Spook-alicious Stamp
Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows 6x6 Designer Paper Pad
Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows Rhinestones
My Creative Time Curly Label Die
Black Ribbon
Black Diamond Stickles (in eyes)

I really like how this came out. Of course, it took me a while to try to figure out what I was using on it :) Make sure to order your My Pink Stamper Halloween Stamps soon to make your Halloween projects.

Tomorrow, I'll show you a card I made Friday night for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge!!

Finalist for Round 1!

Flower Birthday

2011-09-29T09:42:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! I needed a card for a friend at work and was having trouble with what to do. I decided I wanted to use some flowers from the Art Philosophy cartridge.

The card you see below is my second take--the 1st one turned out terrible! I had stamped the Happy Birthday a little higher and thought there was too much empty space between that and the flowers--BIG mistake!! I really hated it. But I got up this morning and realized I had time to redo some of it. Luckily, the flowers came off cleanly so I was able to re-cut the pretty label cut and reassemble.

Here are the details:

Art Philosophy Cartridge:

2 roses cut at 2 inches and 1 rose cut at 2 1/2 inches
Label cut at 3 1/2 inches (I think) and the outside dark layer cut a little bit bigger to not cover the pretty swirls

My Pink Stamper Birthday Crazy stamp
Doodlebug patterned paper
Creative Charms Gradient Jewels
Frosted Lace Stickles
Zip Dry to assemble flowers and glue on--it sticks them on really well!

I am happy with how it turned out and hope she likes it! But I don't have an envelope with me that it will fit in since the flowers are a bit thick :) You can see in the flower close up that I twirled the flowers differently. I used one side for the big one and the other side of the paper for the smaller ones. They are so much fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to get a lot of things made on Saturday since it's World Card Making Day--hope you join in!!

Friend Forever

2011-09-27T07:00:00.001-04:00

Hello everyone! Here's a Fall card I made. The Challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut this week is Leaves are Falling--use leaves on your project. Well, I planned on using several but ended up with just one :)

Here are the details:

Leaf from Art Philosopy cartridge cut at 4 inches
My Pink Stamper Friend-tastic stamp
Imaginisce pattern paper
Creative Charms November Kit of the Month

Fall Seasonal Sparkles (on leaf)
Amber Gem Gradient Jewels (bottom of card)
Brown Vintage Velvet Ric Rac

Pop Dots

I just got my order from Creative Charms and they have some really fun stuff! The Ric Rac I used on the card is so soft and pretty--I just love it :) I ordered 2 kits from them and some really pretty pink butterflies. They also included a free sample--fun stuff coming up!!

I have lots of projects that I need to complete (once I start) so you should see lots of posts from me. And make sure to find some time to play along with Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut. The design team has some fabulous inspiration for you!

My Pink Stamper Post Day!

2011-09-20T09:00:00.008-04:00

Hi everyone!! It's one of my most favorite days--My Pink Stamper Post Day :) For today's project we needed to use My Pink Stamper's Spooka-licious set and Black, Orange, Purple and Green. I had so much fun with this!

Here are the details:

My Pink Stamper Spooka-licious set
Monster from Mini Monsters at 3 3/4 inches
Doodlebug Monster Mania -- Monster Stripes paper
Doodlebug Twine Halloween Assortment
Purple Gems
Signo white pen
Action Wobble

I was making a totaly different project that did not turn out well. But I sat down to make this card instead and couldn't be happier! I put the purple monster on an Action Wobble too. And this stamp is so fun!!

Now be sure to visit My Pink Stamper and see all the design team's amazing projects and where you can buy these awesome stamps! And I hope you can play along too :)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #78

2011-09-19T06:00:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone! Today's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge is A Pirate's Life in honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day today--Arrr! Just make a project with a Pirate Theme.

I choose to make a scrapbook page from when we were in Disney World this time last year. *Sigh* Wish I was there now :) My kids had a pirate makeover at The Pirate's Leauge since we were going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party that night. I have more pictures to scrap for that.

Here are the details:

Skulls from Paper Doll Dress Up cut at 3 inches
Lettter for title from Mickey Font (not sure of the size since I cut them out a while ago)
My Pink Stamper Fontabulous set
Echo Park Skull & Bones paper

Be sure to visit the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and see all the Design Team's projects! And be sure to find some pirate in you and play along!

Beware!

2011-09-14T19:50:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! Here's a card I made for a sketch challenge. And glitter and or bling needed to be on it. So I used both, of course!

Here are the details:

Spiders cut at 3 inches from Teresa Collins Chic and Scary cartridge
My Pink Stamper Spookalicious stamp
Martha Stewart Crafts Halloween Mat Stack
Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows bling
Frosted Lace Stickles
pop dots

I have purchased way too much Halloween paper this year! There were 2 cute Martha Stewart mat stacks and then I have an Echo Park Pack, 2 DCWV Halloween/Fall stacks and then loose sheets of Imaginisce and some others I'm sure! So you will be seeing lots of Halloween things from me I think :)

Winner!

2011-09-13T09:38:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! Just a quick post with the winner of the My Pink Stamper Spectacular Sayings Stamp set from the Friday Blog Hop.

ctibbmn said... That is an awesome idea!! I just got the Art Philosophy cart, but I haven't used it yet - thanks for the inspiration!!

Congratulations!! Please send me your information and I'll get this out to you the end of the week.

Thanks so much to everyone for all your wonderful comments. I have some more giveaways in the works so be sure to tune in :)

If the broom fits. . .

2011-09-12T06:00:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend :) Here's a quick card I made -- well, it would have gone much quicker if I could actually use Chic and Scary with my Gypsy. But, for some reason it gives an error code. I updated my E2 and it still did not work. But at least I knew where the cartridge was and just plugged it in. But I usually just use my Gypsy so that I don't have to have all the carts out.

Here are the details on the card:

Chic and Scary cut at 3 1/2 inches
My Pink Stamper Spookalicious stamps
The Ghosts and Goblins Stack by DCWV
Doodle Twine Halloween Assortment by Doodlebug Designs
Black Diamond Stickles
iRock gems

I really wanted to use these two My Pink Stamper stamps on a card and found this cut on Chic and Scary that was perfect (and simple!). The great thing about this cart is that it give you the minimum sizes to cut at to get a good cut. I love that Provo Craft is starting to help us out with this information!! The black diamond stickles are on the outer circle. If you click the picture, you can see it.

Check back tomorrow for the winner from Friday's Pinkalicious Blog hop. There's still time to enter that giveaway so just look at my last post!

My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop!!

2011-09-09T21:00:00.040-04:00

Hi everyone and welcome to the monthly My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop! I just love these :) If you have just come from the very talented Tracy at Craft Junkie Too, you are on the right track. But if you just came here 1st, be sure to start at the very beginning with My Pink Stamper. You don't want to miss all the fun!

For today's hop, we were challenged to make a 3D item and use My Pink Stamper's new School Days set. You probably know that most of my projects are pretty easy and today is no different. When I got the assignment, I knew right away what I wanted to do--the door hanger cut from the new Art Philosophy cartridge!

This was so super simple to make and here are the (few) details:

My Pink Stamper School Days set -- I heart school and star
Art Philosophy cartridge door hanger cut at 11 1/2 inches
Art Philosophy cartridge tag cut at 2 3/4 inches
Imaginisce Favorite Subject double sided paper from Geek is Chic line
Mandarin Twine from the Twinery
pop dots

When I saw the Imaginisce Favorite Subject paper last weekend in Archivers, I knew it would be perfect for this project! I also knew that I had to line it up to cut correctly so that when I folded the box, the ABC's would be the right way :) This fits 4 dry erase markers very neatly.

You've made it to the end! So I have a prize to be won. A set of My Pink Stamper stamps!! Up for grabs is Spectacular Sayings--one I use all the time :) Be sure to leave one comment with a way for me to contact you to be entered. I will draw a winner on Tuesday.

The next stop in the hop is the fabulous Kassidy! Have fun :)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #76

2011-09-05T06:00:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! Today's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge is Back to School--Use your ABC's or 123's :) You just need to make sure to use at least one Cricut cut and use letters or numbers (or both if you want) on your project.

I choose to make a scrapbook page. This really helps since I am years behind in my scrapping :)

Here are the details:

ABC's border cut at 11 inches from Graphically Speaking
Apple cut at 3 inches from Plantin Schoolbook
My Pink Stamper School Days Stamps--1st day of school, star and school days on journal spot
Pattern paper from DCWV stack
pop dots (on apple)

I really love how this page turned out! When I make a page for something specific, I always think I'll make even more pages to get caught up a little, but I usally don't :)

If you haven't visited the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog yet, make sure to do that and see all the design team's wonderful projects. Then you can enter your own!

Have a wonderful day!

Congratulations with Art Philsophy

2011-09-04T06:00:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone! It's been a while since posting again. I'm just trying to get back in the groove of work and the kids with homework and stuff.

Today I have a card I made with the Art Philosophy cartridge collection. I thought this was for a DT assignment, but I looked at the wrong one! But, it's a cute little card I get to show you now :)

Here are the details:

Art Philosophy Cartridge cuts

card base--4 inches
pattern paper layer--3 1/2 inches
pink layer with outline layer--2 inches

Congratulations stamp from Art Philsophy collection
American Crafts ribbon
Signo white pen
Glam Pink Stickles

I used Bazzill dot paper (I think) for the outline pink part and put the stickles on the dots--just don't think you can see that very well in the picture. Now the stamp sets that come with the cartridge give you a suggested sized for the cuts to match the stamp. But this cut had the cute out layer and when I cut it at the suggested size (1 3/4 inches) the top layer covered up some of the outer words. So I made it a bit bigger in order to use the outline. I don't think all the cuts have an outline and I think I will still try to follow the suggested sizes.

This is a very fun cartridge and I really can't wait to do more with it!

Have a great day :)

The Challenge Me Monday theme today is Birthday Bash--make a birthday themed project. Now, I don't know about you, but I always need a birthday card. I really need to make a bunch to keep on hand. But I do like to personalize and this one was for someone specific last week.

Sweet Goodness!

2011-08-15T06:00:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! I can't believe it's Monday already and my kids 1st day of the school year. I now have a high schooler *sigh*. Still can't believe it! So I will probably not have a project for you tomorrow, just the winner from my blog candy from Friday night.

This is just a quick card I made last night. I really did not have any mojo and looked for a quick, easy cut for a card. It did go together pretty quickly after I (finally) decided what to cut.

Here are the details:

Cupcake cut from Create a Critter at 3 3/4 inches
My Pink Stamper Yummy-licious stamp
My Minds Eye paper
Cotton Candy Stickles
Signo White pen
ribbon
pop dots

On my Gypsy, I took off the face from the cupcake. I just didn't want that on there. The pattern paper was pretty thin and tore a little bit so I just covered that part with the cherry :)

I hope you have a great week and remember, I'll post my blog candy winner tomorrow!

Celebrate!

2011-08-14T06:00:00.002-04:00

My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop!

2011-08-12T21:08:00.003-04:00

Hi everyone! So glad you have joined the My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop :) If you just happened across my blog, make sure to start at the begining with Robyn at My Pink Stamper. If you've just come from Sharon at Designs by Sharon, you're in the right place! Today, we are showcasing Robyn's newest stamp releases.

I am thrilled that Robyn has asked me to be part of her wonderful design team for another term! I've been crafting for about 13 years, am married and have 2 children and 1 puppy. Somehow, I manage to find time for myself to craft--LOL!

For my project today, I decided to cover a notebook.

Here are the details:

My Pink Stamper Font-abulous set (Notes)
My Pink Stamper School Days
Notebook paper cut at 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 inches from Simply Charmed
Doodlebug mini jewels
Cotton Candy Stickles
American Crafts Ribbon

I covered the front of a composition notebook with pink cardstock and then glued the notebook paper cut onto that. Then I lightly stamped all the stamps except the word Notes which I stamped with full ink. Next was the ribbon around the spine and some stickles and self-stick gems added randomly. Very easy! I think my daughter might want to steal it :)

Your next stop will be Julie at Ready, Set, Stamp. And make sure to stop back by My Pink Stamper to see where you can order these wonderful sets! Here's the hop order in case you get lost:

School Days

2011-08-11T06:00:00.003-04:00

Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying the peeks of My Pink Stamper's new stamps :) Today I have one more for you. And tomorrow night, we have the My Pink Stamper Blog Hop and I'll have a prize too!

Apple of my eye from the My Pink Stamper School Days set
Apple cut at 4 inches from Celebrate with a Flourish
Preserves Cuttlebug Folder
Frosted Lace Stickles
Signo Pen
Red ribbon
gems

My iRock died so I had to glue on the gems. Guess I'll be getting a new one. At least they are not too expensive. I just got a light box and used it to take this picture. It looks better than before, but I need to play around with it some more and I think I'll have some better pictures!

See you all tomorrow on the hop!

Hi everyone! Two posts in a row, can you believe it? :) Here's a quick card for a small challenge. It needed to be picnic related and have a gingham print on it. I was looking for red gigham, but only found the green. I thought it would work though.

Here are the details:

Hot Dog cut at 2 3/4 inches from Simply Charmed
Gingham paper cut from Elegant Edges at 4 x 5 1/2 inches
My Pink Stamper More Punnylicious stamp
Cuttlebug Dots folder
Recollections Green Gingham paper
Yellow and xmas Red Stickles
Lemondrop twine from The Twinery
pop dots

I thought it turned out kind of cute!

Have a great day!

I Scream for Ice Cream!

2011-07-19T06:00:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone! I am really trying to get back to regular posting, I promise :) Today, I have a card for you that goes along with the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week called I Scream for Ice Cream! I happen to LOVE ice cream. And my favorite time of year to eat it is summer. My kids and I have been going bowling once a week, pretty much, and there is a Dairy Queen on the way home. So it's become a habit to stop and get a milkshake after our fun. I don't think my waistline likes it! Here's the card I made.

And here are the details:

Ice Cream cut at 4 1/2 inches from Sweet Treats
My Pink Stamper Sweetest Cupcakes stamp
The Paper Studio Sugar and Spice Stack
Sizzix folder for ice cream cone
American Crafts Ribbon
iRock
Frosted Lace Stickles
pop dots

As I was finishing this card, I thought it might work for my daughter to give to her BFF's sister (she just turned 6) this weekend. I showed it to her and she said that it's perfect--she loves ice cream and pink! I'm always glad to have a purpose for my cards, but do tend to let them pile up :)

Now make sure to visit Fantabulous Cricut and see what the Design Team posted on Monday. Then, be sure to make and post your own cool treat project!

Have a great day!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #68

2011-07-11T06:00:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone! So sorry there have not been posts from me lately--we were on vacation. I am glad to be home in my own bed, but sad to have to go back to work--LOL! I need to get back into the swing of crafting though.

But I was able to work ahead for today's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday theme of Let's Go Camping! This was fun for me since I purchased Camping Critters a bit ago and had not used it yet :)

Here are the details:

Moose cut from Camping Critters AT 4 1/2 inches
My Pink Stamper Freedom Rocks Stamp
Imaginsce Happy Camper Tree Hugger pattern paper
American Crafts ribbon
Black pen

I thought you could make this for kids coming home from camp or someone from a long trip. It was really easy to put together and this cartridge has the cuttest cuts! I just might feature this one for Fantabulous Friday so check back :)

Now, make sure to go over to Fantabulous Cricut to see all the Design Team's amazing projects. Then, make you own to enter in the challenge this week!

Have a great day!

Rock Princess Birthday

2011-06-28T06:00:00.005-04:00

Hi everyone! My daughter needed a card for her BFF's party this weekend and here it is. She picked the cut and patterned paper but didn't know where to go from there. I really did say she could just do it herself but she decided I should make it. But she took my new set of My Pink Stamper Friend-tastic stamps and stamped them all over the envelope!

Here are the details:

Cupcake with Crossbones cut at 3 inches from Rock Princess
My Pink Stamper Fancy Phrases set for card and Friend-tastic for envelope
DCWV Glam Gal Stack patterned paper
The immortal love matstack -- white sparkly crossbones
Purple twine from The Twinery
Glam Pink, Purple and Lagoon Stickles
Signo White pen
pop dots

This was fun to make and I did check with her to see how she liked it before I glued anything :)

Thanks for visiting!!

A Fancy Birthday!

2011-06-24T06:00:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! I've been working on some special projects so haven't posted much this week. Here's a page I made for a challenge. I had to use 4 cricut cuts, 3 Teresa Collins products and make it elegant. I really do love the way this turned out, even though this is not how I usually scrapbook. And of course, I made it pink :)

Here are the details:

Cartridges:

Elegant Edges photo mat cut at 4 x 6 and 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 each
French Manor Dress Form cut at 8 inches
French Manor Mirror cut at 1 1/4 inches
Cricut American Alphabet letters cut at 1 1/4 inches

Teresa Collins Products:

Posh Black Lace Cardstock
Posh Trims--Pearls and Skirt
Jesse's Jewels Blingage
Miranda's Jewels Blingage

Paper from The Paper Studio
American Crafts Ribbon
Glam Pink Stickles
Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue
Pop dots

I had a lot of fun with this page. The mirror just cuts out the frame and I had this shiny silver cardstock that I cut and put behind it to make it really look like a mirror. It might even be from Teresa Collins--I just don't remember since it was a scrap. I don't know if you can tell, but I completely stickled the letters. I did this before gluing them down so I didn't get stickles all over the place

Thanks for stopping by!

Pagoda Page

2011-06-18T06:00:00.002-04:00

Hi everyone! Here's a scrapbook page I worked on this week. It only took me 3 nights to fininsh--LOL! It's hard to get things completed after work and still spend time with the family. I really hope to work on several things this weekend to get ahead.

I know I used the Pagoda cartrige, but don't have the measurements. I also used the iRock Glam Rocks, My Pink Stamper Simply Sweet Occasions (smile) and Spectacular Sayings (happy day) sets, a White Signo Pen and some pop dots. The stamp is not curved like that, I curved the stamp on the block to add to the corner.

I just love these pics from when my kids were litte :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Winner!

2011-06-15T06:00:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone! I hoped to have a project for you, but I have a puppy, a daughter at camp, and a son who only wants to play on the XBox. So after working all day, I still don't really have time to myself--LOL! I'm working on a really cute page from when my kids were litle though and hope to have it up tomorrow.

Anyway, here's the winner of the Pink Smashbook:

Here are the details:

It's a pool party stamps are from My Pink Stamper Invitation Only new set
Goin' for a swim and pool journaling cut at 2 1/2 inches from Life is a Beach

Hi everyone! Hope you all are well. It's been so hot already here. My scrap area is just in a hallway upstairs with no air vent, and too hot to work up there. So this weekend I moved most of my things to the dining room. We need to get some paiting done anyway and that will help up there. It's way cooler down here (and roomier) so I was able to get this scrapbook page made this weekend :)

Here are the details:

That's Fin-Tastic!

2011-06-03T06:15:00.004-04:00

Hi everyone! Just a quick post of a Thank You card I made for a swap. I used My Pink Stamper Spectacular Sayings set--one of the newest ones. And the flower came from Cricut Essestials on the E2 machine. We needed to use bling, which is never a problem for me :) So I used my iRock and some stickles, of course!

I hope you have a wonderful Saturday!!

Winner!!

2011-05-27T11:48:00.000-04:00

2011-05-24T09:00:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone!

Today is My Pink Stamper Day!! Today's project is for Father's Day or just a man card. And we used the newest My Pink Stamper stamps--LOVE them all!

Men cards do not come easy to me. I am much better with pink and bling :) But here's what I came up with and the details will follow.

My Pink Stamper Spectacular Sayings Thinking of You stamp
Cricut cut at 3 inches from the Father's Day seasonal cartridge
Sizzix argyle folder
Twine from the Twinery
Signo white pen for accents

I like the way it turned out. But I know I do so much better with girly cards :)

Now, I think I need to have a small giveaway since I haven't given anything away in while. I was at Archivers yesterday and picked up a few extra things to giveaway.

Up for grabs is a Sew Easy tool, some really pretty Soiree twine and a bottle of my favorite stickles--Frosted Lace!

Just leave one comment and a way for me to reach you if you win. I'll draw a winner on Friday. Now make sure to head over to My Pink Stamper and see all the wonderful projects from the design team! You can also see where you can buy these amazing stamps.

Card Sketch

2011-05-21T06:00:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone!! Boy, it's been a busy week here and the weekend is just as busy. My son has his confirmation tommorrow and on Monday his 8th grade Honors assembly. I will probably cry--I just can't believe he's leaving 8th grade.

Today I have a card for you that I made from a Page Maps sketch. Make sure to visit Fantabulous Cricut today for Scrappin' Saturday. The design team made some cards and pages from these wonderful sketches.

Above is the sketch and below is the card I made and some details.

I used Elegant Edges for the green dotted background and Cricut American Alphabet for the butterfly and the swirl. I don't remember the sizes, but I do know the butterfly was smaller than I thought it would be but went with it anyhow :) The stamp is from My Pink Stamper Spectacular Sayings--a wonderful new set she just released!

I hope you have a great weekend!
