Pumpkin Spice February Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop for February!!! :)

You should have gotten here from Alyssa's blog. If not, start HERE at the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog! :) 

I am the featured designer for February which means that I get to play with and show off this month's kit!!! I LOVED the Crate Paper Paper Heart collection from the first time the sneaks were showed on their blog so I am SO happy to be playing with it now! :) 

I wanted to show the diversity in the papers so you will see a baby card and a masculine birthday card thrown in there as well as some valentines! I hope you enjoy! :)

Today I am just going to show you three projects, but you will see the other ones in the Wednesdays to come (my posting day) on the SPS blog. Or you can cheat and go to where the kit is being sold HERE to see all the pictures! :)

I decided to make a little banner for the front door or for my craft room.  





Nothing like sending candy to your girlfriends! :) I had to use the little glassine bags that came in the kit to fill with red hot hearts! :)

2011 - A year in review

I am loving the response to the giveaway for Echo Park's Yours Truly! I can't wait to see who the winner is! You still have time to get in. Click HERE! :)

This is for the Cricut Circle challenge - a year in review. It would have pictures in it (I intend for them all to be black and white) but my printer still hasn't gotten it's act together since the move. My computer and the printer simply aren't talking! How rude! ;) 

I am still just learning how to do layouts and while this was all on my own, my plan is to case some of the amazing talent around the bloggy world until I find my style. So you will probably see some casing going on soon -and appropriate linking when I do-! :)

Sydney's Shadow Box

Hello and good Wednesday morning to you! I am here to share my Pumpkin Spice post of the day! 

This was made for my six year old niece (well technically my 2nd cousin, but we're more like sisters). I decided I wanted to make her something for her room so I used her monogram to make this shadow box wall hanging! It's my first one and I hope you like it! :)

The light was so wrong to take these photos, but I did my best! 


 I used my Xyron to glitter the vellum butterfly wings.




Recipe:




I also made this for the My Mind's Eye Sketch Challenge. I'm not sure they will let it in since it isn't a "card", but I made it from this sketch so it should still be credited! :)

Have a SUPER birthday!

Our ring bearer's birthday was on Halloween. He is so SMART! His parents even just flew him out to Florida to watch the last space shuttle launch. So with that fresh in his mind, I knew I wanted to make him a rocket card! The one on Nifty Fifties was perfect!

Party Time and a winner from Shop Pumpkin Spice

***SCROLL DOWN FOR THE MY PINK STAMPER BLOG HOP AND GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY! :) ***



This week at Peachy Keen Stamps, the challenge is to use both a face stamp and to make a shaped card...

Well, you ALL know how much I love to make shaped cards so I thought, why not!? :)

Jill from Jillibean Soup gave me a sheet of the white corrugated kraft to try cutting on the Cricut. I used a deep cut blade with the blade on 5, pressure high and speed slow. And it cut wonderfully! It wasn't absolutely perfect, but it was good enough for sure! I don't think you could cut intricate shapes very easily, but I was really pleased with the result. So thank you to Jill for giving it to me to try out! :)



Recipe:



For the Shop Pumpkin Spice Gift Certificate for $20 (THANK YOU SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE!!!), the winner is..... 



CONGRATULATIONS! I will forward your email address to Shop Pumpkin Spice and they will give you your coupon code!!! :)

Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop + MME Lost and Found Sunshine + a Giveaway!!!


Today is our very first hop to introduce the Pumpkin Spice Design Team!!!


You should have gotten here from Lenae's blog. Isn't she darling?!? If not, start at the beginning HERE at the Pumpkin Spice Blog!


Each month there will be a "featured designer" where we are allowed to create a kit! I have created 4 cards to go in the kit that I made. It is called You Are My Sunshine! Why you might ask?.? BECAUSE I am using the BRAND NEW My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two Sunshine Collection!!! I LOVE this collection! And because I am known for calling up my girlfriends and singing this to their answering machines....


So you can make the four cards that I will be releasing with the kit that I created (and so many more! You will have quite a bit of paper left over!). I will be releasing one card every Wednesday here on my blog and on the Pumpkin Spice blog. But if you hop over to see the kit, then you'll get to see all of them!


Okay, I just saw the pricing on this kit and it is $15!!!! Crazy good! You get ALL of the Sunshine collection papers, 4  8.5x11" white cardstock (for the card bases and cuts), AND the brads, sticker stackers, burlap.... AND there is an add-on where you can get the My Pink Stamper stamps for $15.50 for one or $30 for both of the ones I used - and they are my most used My Pink Stamper stamps!!!! Crazy good! Click HERE to check it out!!!

Small print: Now I did use Cricut Cartridges for all of these and have used a few items outside of the kit, but you can improvise easily to make these work with the stash you have! :)

Without further ado, the first card is a baby card because we always need those! The next three cards will be anniversary, birthday, and thank you themed. Enjoy!


CUTE
*I got my inspiration for this card from Cricut Magazine August 2011 - page 55 - Feeling Under the Weather by Melyssa Connolly*

Recipe:




Here is a sneak peek of all four cards. :) 



Leave a message at each stop on the blog hop as ALL of us have a prize - Pumpkin Spice is giving away a $20 gift card to the store for EACH of us!!!!! CRAZINESS! That's a total of $100 in gift cards!!! THANK YOU Pumpkin Spice!!! You have one week to leave comments and I will pick a winner next Saturday! 


Now you are off to my dear, sweet, lovely, wonderful friend June's blog!

Happy 4th of July!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

I made this banner because I got the wonderful American Made Collection by My Mind's Eye in the mail and had to make something for this holiday!

The thing I loved about this collection is that while I was going through it, I was imagining boy cards, man cards, shorts on paper dolls, quilted patterns, and many more. This is not just for this holiday, it's a great pack of papers for all kinds of cards!

You can click on the banner picture to make it larger. :) 




Recipe:


This also qualifies for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge - to make a project for the 4th of July!
I also just realized that this qualifies for the Off the Wall Craftiness Challege here:

red, white, and some kind of blue

This is what we have been doing so far this weekend! An oak tree fell down in my grandmother's yard (no damage thank goodness) and we have been splitting a QUARTER of the wood that fell and was brought over! It took 4.5 hours over two days of at least 4 people splitting and stacking. Two of those woodpiles were there, but we built the other 3.5! This is 6 year old Dante under very close supervision learning how to use the splitter - and loving it!





After a hard day's work..


Then we went to Sardine Factory for some Abalone Bisque and then to Spanish Bay (the place where Hans proposed!) to listen to the bagpipers and watch the sunset! It was such a lovely evening!




Today we will be going downtown to get some ribs and deep-fried artichoke hearts (my nemesis). I hope you have something super fun planned!

Beach Day Layout

For the Cricut Circle Crop there was a Crops of Love donation. We were asked to make two page layouts in a variety of different themes. They are given to the families and children who are going through terrible things and are granted a wish - like a beach day. So then they take scrapbooking donations and put in the pictures and give them to the families. What a wonderful thing to cherish as times get harder for them. I chose the beach theme!


The elements on the right page don't look straight, but trust me, I measured them from all angles and they are as straight as can be! 

I will have to add links to the recipe for this tomorrow because I am exhausted and need to go to sleep. But here are the highlights:

Recipe:
  • Patterned Paper: Imaginisce: Animal Crackers
  • Cartridges: Everyday Paper Dolls, Cake Basics, and Designer's Calendar
  • Stickers from My Little Shoebox
  • Cardstock: Coredinations Paper and Paper Trey Ink
  • Embossing: Swiss Dots Emboss Folder
  • pom-pom ribbon: My Mind's Eye: Fine and Dandy
  • Splatter paint is Smooch in Carrot Cake
  • Crop-a-dile and eyelets
  • i-rock by Imaginisce
  • Hot Rock Compact in Jewel
