BBTB2 - Leap Year

Happy Monday!!!

Happy Leap Year too!!!

In honor of this day, 

which only comes around

every 4 years,

BBTB2 has dedicated this week's

challenge to anything that is

Leaping or Jumping :)

I decided to use this adorable little girl

Jump Roping from the Playtime cartridge.

My papers were all from my scrap stash.

The sentiment is from American Crafts.

I used PKS Princess Faces and

Glitter Dots from Michael's.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2

this week for a "Leaping" Good Time :)

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Fiesta!

Happy Monday!

Another challenge has started over at BBTB2!

It's National Margarita Day

so it's all things FIESTA this week!!!

I found these fun Maracas on the Create A Critter 2 cart.

I used Elegant Edges for the Mat.

My papers were just in my stash,

the ribbon is from American Crafts, and

I popped the images up with some foam tape.

I'm ready to party, how about you :)

Cut It Up - Leap Year!

Happy Friday!

Welcome to another challenge over at Cut It Up!

Today our theme is centered around

LEAP YEAR!!!

Be sure to include a frog on your project :)

Sponsored by:

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize: 7 Free Images

My Project:

With Bugaboo Stamps being the sponsor,

they let us pick one of their awesome

Frog Images to use for our projects.

I LOVE this image!

I used my Bic Mark-It's to color the image.

I used a Spellbinders Nestabilities Die Cut to cut out the image

with a fun border and shadowed it with some pink cardstock.

I just rounded those corners with my Hobby Lobby corner punch.

My papers all came from my scrap stash

and I just kind of pieced the layout together.

The glitter dots came from Michael's.

I think this is a pretty cute card :)

I hope you will join us for our challenge!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Decorate To Celebrate! Valentine's Style

Happy Wednesday!!!

Welcome to another Anything Goes Challenge

over at Decorate To Celebrate!

I know, I know, Valentine's is over,

but I had to share a fun treat box I made...

This Scepter Box is found

on the Life's A Party Cartridge.

I cut it at 9 1/4".

The heart design paper is from American Crafts.

I just used some craft, pink, and white card stock

for the mat.

I filled it up with some chocolate covered raisins

tied the top together with some fun ribbon,

and WHALA...

a perfect Valentine's to give to a special someone!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - National Gum Drop Day!

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a "Lovely" Valentine's Day!

Today over at BBTB2, I am hosting this week's challenge :)

I decided to look up what the "National Day" was for today

and it is National Gum Drop Day - LOVE it!

So I decided we should all use candy on our projects.

I kind of like candy ;)

I used Something to Celebrate for these 3 pieces of candy.

All my paper was from my scrap stash -

I am really trying to use my scraps

there are SO MANY!!!

My sentiment is combined from two Fiskars sets.

The layout for my card is from Mary over at CardzTV.

I love her and her ideas, she's amazing!

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2

for this week's challenge!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Valentine Hearts

Happy Monday!

I absolutely CANNOT believe that Valentine's Day

is this week!

Friday, I am helping in my son's 1st grade class

for the party, I swear the Christmas party was just yesterday!

Anyway, over at BBTB2 our challenge is centered

around Valentine's Hearts :)

I am going to be making some YUMMY Sugar Cookies

this week for my co-workers and I have a plan to

package them super cute and these will be the tags :)

I used Art Philosophy for the tag and the heart.

My pink chevron paper is from Echo Park

and the glitter paper is from

The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).

I did use some foam tape to pop up the heart.

The sentiment, which I LOVE, is from a Fiskars set.

The twine is from We R Memory Keepers.

Here is what I came up with:

I created my project for Esther on the Die Cuttin' Divas team.

For my project I started with a base out of some
craft cardstock cut at a standard A2 size.
All of my decorative paper is from My Mind's Eye -
LOVE their paper!!!

My layout is just layering different papers every which way :)
I used some flat back pearls from Recollections
and my Ric-Rac Ribbon is from American Crafts.

The hearts are cut from Doodlecharms using the border feature,
and I just cut them out of some light pink cardstock.
My sentiment is from a Fiskar's Holiday Set
and I used Momento Rich Cocoa for the ink.

For the inside I used some more My Mind's Eye paper.
I used Elegant Edges to cut the scallop border at the bottom.
The heart was just in my scrap stash,
so I can't remember which cartridge it came from.
The sentiment is also from Fiskar's.

Thanks for checkin in!!!

Your next stop is my "Secret Sister" Esther,
I sure hope she liked my card :)

Decorate To Celebrate - You're Invited!

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to another Anything Goes Challenge

over at Decorate To Celebrate!

Bridal Shower Invites for her co-worker

and this is what I came up with....

I used Everyday Pop-Up Cards for the dress,

Divine Swirls for the embossing, and Sweethearts

for the sentiment tag.

The background paper was from Hobby Lobby.

The Bride-To-Be loved how they turned out,

which makes me so happy :)

Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Me neither, but I think it's a fabulous idea,

where is my Ben & Jerry's?

For my project, I used Something to Celebrate.

I basically followed the sample in the handbook.

All my papers were from my scrap stash,

I am really trying to be better at using them,

I have a bazillion :)

I used Enamel Dots from Recollections
