Sweet Pea Card! & Winner from Princess Blog Hop

I made this card for a couple of different challenges I had in mind. So I started out by using my gypsy and my Lacey Labels Cricut cartridge to make the base of the card. The first challenge I found on face book and it was to use a cartridge that you just had to have but just never seemed to get around to using!


So I decided this would be a real easy challenge since I am addicted to buying the cartridges and have so many that have not been used! My nephews wife is having a baby girl in a couple of months so I decided to make a card for when baby Melenka is born!



I used New Arrivals for the cricut cuts and used Theresa's favorite colours which are purple and green. I then added some dimensional stickers by Studio 112 and some beautiful crinkled ribbon from My Craft Spot to finish the card off. The funny thing is, I cannot find this challenge anywhere! LOL! But, I will keep looking. The second challenge is over at Fantabulous Cricut: Their challenge this week is to use a bug on your project.
Update!

Yipee!

Thanks to my wonderful blogging friend I have found the 1st Challenge I was looking for, it is Kimberli's Creation's: make a project using a cartridge that you barely use, which would be my New Arrivals ( I hate to say this but I have only used this cartridge once) so now thanks to abusybee I can sleep tonight!

Now onto the winner of the Princess Blog Hop. I had 33 wonderful comments and I do thank each and everyone of you for them. I really enjoy reading them to my hubby, he thought I was so mean when I dressed Button's up for the pictures the night before the hop but he loved hearing your comments of his baby girl! Sometimes I think he loves her more then he loves me! Anyhow the lucky winner was # 31 Jaime please email me at jennyplace26@gmail.com If I have not heard from you in one week I will draw a new winner. Thank you for visting my blog, have a great week.

Princess Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the Princess Blog Hop. If you arrived from Sandy's you are on the right track! If you happen to stumble upon my Blog and would like to play along please do so by starting at Sylvia's Blog .

For my project today I have decided to do layout of our little princess Button's.

The princess cupcake carriage and castle are SVG Files which were purchased from Designs on Cloud 9.


I used D'vine Swirls and Swiss Dots embossing folders. Tons of bling and my gel pen.


The paper is from Say it with a Smirk Brat Pack ( I loved the little sayings, I thought it was just perfect for our spoiled little brat!)

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Please leave a comment with a way to get in touch with you if you would like to have a chance to win some sweet blog candy. One lucky follower will have a chance to win this package of textured impressions Embossing Folders by Sizzix.

Bunning Crossing! Bug Bites Stamp Release Party!

Are you ready for another sneak peak?
Barb over at BugBites has created a stamp set call All Year Round.
I used the Bunny Crossing sentiment on todays project.

Then I saw this empty spot on the bottom of my card and thought I should add another one of these adorable sentiments and added " Don't be blue I'm thinking of you

Bugs Bunny is a free SVG file that I got from Mardenz.
The little sign was cut using Disney Winnie the Pooh Cartridge. I used paper tearing for the hills , chalked the edges. added a bit of gel pen and pop dots and once again another adorable card for someone special.

I am going to enter this card in the challenge over at Scrappin It: The challenge is to make a summer card.
Don't forget!

Barb will be giving away a BugBites stamp set each day to one lucky follower who leaves a comment on the daily post, August 1-7. Drawing will be held August 8th for all days to coordinate with the reveal of the stamp set.
So to clarify, on August 8th, Barb will draw a winner from all those that left a comment on the August 1 post, then draw a winner from all those that left a comment on the August 2 post, etc.
So head on over and take a look at all the cute cards made with these wonderful sentiments and leave a comments for a chance to win your very own set of BugBites All Year Round Stamp Set!

Scrappy Jak Card of the Month! July 4th or Independece Day!

Once a month Melissa from Scrappy Jak on Facebook sends out a Card of The Month package with a couple of projects for us ladies to make and then we all post them on the same day over on Facebook. It is a lot of fun and it is really amazing how many different cards are made from the same basic material she sends to us.

My first card I used A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge cutting my little guy and car at 3 inches. I used pop up dots to raise the imagine. The card is a A2 size card....Blue base with blue star patterend paper. We all must use the card base and a portion of each other supply that is sent to us, I just love the way it turned out.

My second card I used a free SVG file from Kadoodle called All American Bear. I also used pop ups dots to raise the imagine and inked all my edges. This is also a A2 card and we all started out with a red base with star patterned paper and a piece of red ribbon. Isn't he just the cutest little bear ever?

The cute sentiment is from BugBites new stamp set which is being released this week!

Rain or shine! Bug Bites Stamp Release Party

All this week, Barb and her blogger friends, are giving you a sneak peek of Barb's first stamp set ever, "All Year Round".
This stamp set has sentiments for all season in one package. The stamp set will be available starting August 8th over at BugBites. Here's my sneak peak using this new stamp set.

I picked up this beautiful double sided card stalk by Minds Eye about a month or so ago and knew this would be just perfect for my first project. It was if it was made for this cute sentiment.

I used my gypsy to make this cool shaped card using Lacey Labels Cricut Cartridge. The sun was cut from Simply Charmed and the girl was cute from Kate's ABC's

This weeks challenge me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut is to make a project for a friend. I think Barbs stamps is just perfect for my BFF...Don't you?

My Craft Spot "Smile" DT Challenge & Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

It's time for another challenge over at My Craft Spot! This week the Design Team were asked to make a project that would make you Smile. Now who wouldn't smile at strawberries and chocolate?

When I sit back and think of the things that make me smile most in life , I think of my Family, Friends and Food! With this being said, I decided to make a easel card to welcome my BFF home from vacation!


Kimberly from My Craft Spot had also just sent me some of her yummy new shades of crinkled ribbon and twine ( which can be purchased over at My Craft Spot), and I just fell in love with the new shade of hot pink, it is just so yummy looking and of course my all time favorite colour! All the papers used were from my scrap bucket. The strawberry was cut at 3 inches from my Cricut Sweet Shop Cartridge I then used my Swiss dots embossing folder to give it a bit of texture. Final touches on the card were the stickles, a few pop up dots and the stamp from My Craft Spots sentiments "Thinking of you"

I will also be entering this card over at Whimsical Wednesday. This weeks challenge #16: Fun with Folds.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team members and I look forward to seeing just what makes you SMILE!
