My Project: 

Seriously, I can't get enough of the Pack Your Bags cartridge!

I have LOVED every image on this one!

So my underwater scene is cut at 4".

My water paper comes from ColorBok (Wal-Mart)

and the b/g paper was in my scrap stash, 

so I don't have any info on it other than

I am pretty sure it was an open stock 12x12.

The twine is Blueberry from Trendy Twine (LOVE).

The sentiment comes from Craftin' Desert Divas

Destination Fun stamp set (also LOVE)

The scene and sentiment are popped up on some foam tape

and the top of the sentiment was cut using my

wave scissors from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink for the stamp.

I hope that you will join us for our

challenge over at Cut It Up!!!

It will run until Wednesday, July 23 at noon

Decorate To Celebrate - BBQ/Outdoor Party

Happy Wednesday!!!

How is everyone's summer going?

How many BBQ's have you had so far?

Well, in case you have a few more on your calendar,

this week's challenge over at Decorate To Celebrate

will definitely help you get ready for one!

We would LOVE to see your projects/decorations for

a BBQ or Outdoor Party.

I decided to make invitations:

I used the Summer Celebrations cartridge for the BBQ and the tag.

The BBQ was cut at 6" and the tag at 2".

I used American Crafts Twine to tie the invite to the image.

Super Simple!!!

Another week is upon us for some fun challenges!

This week it's all about Summer!

For my summer time card, I decided to create something showing

one of my most favorite things about summer....

Watermelon!

I LOVE cold, crisp watermelon - it's the BEST!!!

I have never used the Doodlecharms watermelon

so that's the image I cut out.

I used a Peachy Keen Princess face - SO CUTE!!!

And I put the watermelon on an Action Wobble - SO FUN!!!

The sentiment comes from Tara's Summer Lovin' Set

and I just LOVE the font on this one!

The twine is from Trendy Twine,

I used Peppermint Stick and Twisted Lime

and if you haven't ever used this twine,

it is AWESOME!!!

Travel Time!

YAY!!!

It's another week for another awesome challenge

over at BBTB2!

Our amazing DT sister Pam has chosen the theme of

Travel!

I don't know about you but Road Trips are one of my favorite things,

especially when the final destination is Disneyland :)

But as my husband and I have added kids to the mix,

one of the common questions we get asked is

"Are We There Yet?"

Oh, yes! The infamous question, right?

So in honor of road trips and the kids that we love so dearly,

I made this card:

I used Pack Your Bags for this fun wagon with luggage.

The twine is from Trendy Twine and the sentiment is from

Craftin' Desert Divas "Destination Fun" set.

The paper is from My Mind's Eye Boy Crazy 6x6 pack.

I did ink around the edges with ColorBox Charcoal Chalk Ink.

The card and sentiment are popped up on some foam tape

for some fun dimension.

I hope that you will join us this week

for this Travel Challenge over at BBTB2!

CardzTV - Red, White & Blue Thank You

HAPPY 4TH of JULY!!!

I am so grateful for this Country and our Independence!

I am also so thankful for the servicemen and women

and the families that support them,

that this week's challenge over at CardzTV was the

PERFECT opportunity to make a

Thank You card for my neighbor!!!

Challenge:

Make a Thank You Card

Using Red, White & Blue

My card:

This card was so fun to make!

I used Art Philosophy to cut out the beautiful stars and the tag.

I ran some We R Memory Keepers twine through the top of the tag.

I also used George for the welded "Thanks".

I used CardTV's This 'N' That stamp set for the sentiment

and stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The glitter ribbon is self adhesive from American Crafts

and the silver rhinestones are from Recollections.

All of my glitter paper is from The Paper Studio.

The sentiment tag is popped up on some foam tape,

all the other cuts were adhered with my Zig Two Way Glue pen.

Here is what is on the AMAZING stamp set I used:

LOVE this set!!!

BBTB2 & FCCB - 4th of July

Happy Monday!!!

Can you believe the 4th of July is Friday!?!?

This is one of my favorite holidays!

I LOVE Fireworks!!!

Well, fire, I LOVE fire :)

Anyway, it's tradition for my family to have a huge party all day long

of food and swimming and more food and

then light off more fireworks than we can count

to end the festivities!

So in honor of the 4th, BBTB2 has chosen this fun holiday for the theme

- Independence Day -

Here is my project:

I used the fun sparkler from Summer Celebrations.

This cart is great for all the different occasions

that happen throughout the summer!

LOVE it!

My paper is from The Paper Studio,

the twine from Trendy Twine,
