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-! :)

LOVE and a ***giveaway***!!!

What?!? No stamps and no crinkled ribbon? I must be sick! haha. No, I was just having some fun challenging myself! 

Getting ready for Valentine's day, I think that we should definitely have a giveaway!!!! Why? Because I would like to shower love on YOU! (get it? That's why there is an umbrella on the card. But I couldn't fit the whole "showering love on you" on the outside so that will go on the inside of the card.)

Recipe:


I am giving away an ENTIRE collection pack of Echo Park Paper Yours Truly!!! 

I picked this up at Shop Pumpkin Spice HERE! If you don't win, make sure to pick it up! It's darling! :) 


Please leave a comment to win! I'll pick the winner in a week or so. So check back to see if you have won! If you are international, I just ask that you pay the shipping over what it would cost  me in the states. If that's okay with you, then enter away! :)

Love & Hugs!

Good Wednesday morning to all of you!!! This is SUPER early in the morning for most of you and by the time some of you read this, I will have a second post up today!!! 

It's about time that I made up for my lack of posting! :) 

This is my post for Shop Pumpkin Spice for this week! Check back into her store and the blog because there will be a BIG reveal for next month's kit! I am super excited about it! 

Make sure to get the Echo Park Paper: Yours Truly (linked below) before it is gone gone gone! I am having a blast with this line and you will see I have more projects made with it coming up! :) Make sure to get the solids along with your collection pack because I think they are super helpful to go with the patterns. I used the black, pink, AND red on this card! I think it really helps it come together (I ordered two of each solid just to make sure I had enough!)

Best Wishes with my old jeans!


Hello! I hope your Christmas was fantastic! I am still up in a cabin in Idaho so this is pre-posted for your delight! :) 

Pop on by Shop Pumpkin Spice to get more inspiration all week long! 

I ripped my jeans and didn't want them to be a total loss, so I turned them into this card! 

The sunlight was so harsh on this card, but hopefully you still get the gist.

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! :)

Easel/Gate Fold Card!

It's the My Pink Designer showcase today over at My Pink Stamper's blog! Head on over there to see what we created! The challenge was a "different fold" card. So I combined a gate card and an easel card to do both. I wanted it to look like windows so I used my Gypsy (I LOVE MY GYPSY) to put window into the card. Here is the picture tutorial on how I did it: 

FYI if you don't have a Gypsy, you can use Cricut Craft Room! Check it out and it's FREE!!! 


My card base was 8.5x8.5" before I cut it, so I did calculations on where I would need the window to go. Then I hid the outside of the window that I took from Kate's ABC's so that only the boxes cut out and not the whole window which would have defeated the purpose.


I taped the yellow polka dots to the white card stock base where I wanted them. Then I put the blade on 6, speed on high, and multi-cut on 2 to ensure that it got through both pieces of card stock. 


This is the windows so that there are frames around the windows. I cut them out of white and embossed them with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Emboss Folder. 


This is what it looked like when I finished cutting it. I actually used the scraps of the 8.5x11" paper to create these. I love using my scraps! 


I cut of the bottom 2 1/8" x 4/25" from each side.


Next I embossed the window frames with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Emboss Folder. I cut velum to the appropriate size and used a liquid glue to put it behind the window frames, but in front of the yellow polka dotted paper. Here you can also see the three patterned papers I had picked out for my inspiration for the project. :) 


I scored the lines appropriately (I can give you these measurements later if anyone wants them). 


I took one of the window pane cut outs (which was a double layer of card stock and therefore pretty sturdy) and put it on the back being careful to only put adhesive on the top half. 


I put a piece of card stock to fit the inside and stamped the sentiment so I could use it for a birthday card.

Giraffe Vintage Baby Card


This is the last project I made for Artful Delight! I am SO sad to be leaving the team, but the new girls are AMAZING and you will LOVE their inspiration! 

Thank you SO much Leeanne for having me! I will DEFINITELY be keeping in touch and ordering some of your FABULOUS kits! And of course I'll be playing in all the sketch challenges to try to win some kits too! You are LOVELY and I LOVE my DT sisters too! 

**Designer's Tip: I wanted more of a vintage feel than was easily provided so I took a match and actually burned around the edges. Please use caution when doing so as the paper continues to burn after you have blown it out. Also be in a well ventilated area as this is a smoky proposition.**

Happy Birthday Gift Bag


This one didn't photograph as well. It is probably my favorite card I made with the October kit! I hope you like it too! 

Designer's Tip: If you want a "tissue paper" look - use tissue paper! There is almost always some lying around the house - tucked inside of an old gift bag, in the Macy's gift wrap section, etc. I tuck tissue paper away in my scrap box and I was SO glad I did for this project! :)

Yummy-licious

Loving this Everyday Pop-Up Cartridge! I just can't get enough of it! Shannon (the Irish Scrapper) asked me if this was a "must have" cartridge. Thanks for the question Shannon! I would have emailed you but your email isn't in your blogger profile. Anyway, the answer (for me) is ABSOLUTELY! I don't know how many of the images I have cut from this cart in one month since I got it, but it is almost all of them! 

 I also love this October kit from Artful Delight!

My first pop-up card!

**woot woot! My Core'dinations rainbow thank you cards are being featured at Practical Scrappers! Thank you Practical Scrappers! You can click on the name to take you to the post. :) **

Hello and happy Wednesday! 

Today for my Pumpkin Spice post I am sharing with you a baby/thank you card! My friends just found out that they are expecting another child. They are my friends with identical twin 18 month olds! Whew are they going to have their hands full! :) I am very excited for them. 

They had us over for dinner while we were in Las Vegas so I wanted to make a thank you card for them. It turned into a baby card! 

They were surprised on the sex for their girls and are waiting again to find out for this one, so I had to make a gender neutral card.  I hope they like it!



It's also my first attempt at a pop-up card! Here is the inside.

I Truly Appreciate All You Do ... SPS Blog Hop and **GIVEAWAY alert**

Welcome to the Shop Pumpkin Spice September Blog Hop! You should have gotten here from Lenae's blog! If not, start at Shop Pumpkin Spice's blog HERE.

First of all, we have to give a GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT to our WONDERFUL sponsor Denine because yesterday was her BiRtHdAy!!!! So be sure to leave her some birthday love on the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog!!!


****
Well, my posts have been a little short recently and that's because I have been spending a lot of time in Monterey supporting my mom and visiting my grandfather who is dying of cancer. He is the BEST patient and always so upbeat and so brave. He says he is feeling fine every day no matter how much pain he is in. He has been an incredible example to all of us in the family and we are so proud of him. I am thankful for every moment we get to spend with him. 

I made this for the physical therapist who is helping him to walk. We had a not so great one before her and this one is just SO fabulous with him and really understand him. They brighten each other's days and he makes splendid progress with her. I just wanted to let her know how much we appreciate her.

This month's theme for the blog hop is My Mind's Eye!! The girls were to use ANY My Mind's Eye products in their projects as they are one of the chief lines that Shop Pumpkin Spice carries AND this month's kit that Carissa designed is made with My Mind's Eye! 

I think I should have used black ink because you can barely read the sentiment on the bottom! I promise it's clearer in real life. :) 


Recipe:




AND this is a new month which means we have a NEW kit from DT member Carissa! There are sneak peeks at all the blogs on the blog hop so check it out! 
Here is my sneak peek! 




Now, head on over to my fabulous friend June's blog! 


When you get to the end make sure to leave a comment on Shop Pumpkin Spice's blog leaving some birthday love for Denine and thereby entering yourself in the giveaway! I think it will be just what your "Mind's Eye" wanted! :)
