Happy Egg Hunting!

Happy Wednesday!

I have a quick card for you today. In-fact you may have even seen it before because it was posted by accident last week. LOL Today's post has a little more info then last weeks.

 So... let's try this again shall we?
 My sweet little lamb is from Treasure Box Designs. I used Make-the-Cut to size her and I cut everything out with my Ecraft. The egg's and their shadows are dies from My Creative Time. They come with the "Hello Spring" stamp set.
 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and the We R Memory Keepers, Cotton Tail collection. The ribbon is from Micheal's.
 This stamp is from My Creative Time's stamp set called Happy Hunting stamp set.
Here's one more close-up of the sweet little lamb. 

Tomorrow is Jaded Blossom's Mini Release blog hop!
I hope you will join us! I can't wait to show you what I made!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Bunny Poop?

Happy Tuesday!

Have you seen Jaded Blossom's stamps yet? If you have, you know that with each release, there is some sort of "poop" stamp. Today's project is made with one of those stamps.

I made a "Bunny Poop" wand.

I just LOVE the seasonal colored M&M's... don't you? They fit perfectly in these cute wands. Have you seen these wands before? Jaded Blossom carries them in their store! They are really fun and perfect for party favors!
 The flag that the poem is stamped on, just happens to be a sneak of one of  JB's March releases!
The egg and sentiment stamp are both from the "Bunny Poop" stamp set.

The  girls at Jaded Blossom were so excited about this months release, that they decided to have a "mini" release this Thursday!
 I can't wait to show you my project!

See you back here tomorrow!

Candace's Surprise Birthday Bash!

 Happy Sunday!

Happy Birthday Candace!!!!

Welcome to Candace's Surprise Birthday Bash! If you have arrived from  Raven's super fabulous blog, then you are on the right track! If you would like to start at the beginning,  click here.

I made Candace a card.
 She loves Hello Kitty, who doesn't, right?

The inside of the card say's "It's your Birthday... It's your Birthday!"
 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and Echo Park's This & That Collection. I made the base of the card in Make-the-Cut with a stamp shape that I found in the "free" gallery. The Hello Kitty face is from a free online coloring book, that I found. Again, I used Make-the-Cut to convert her into a cut-able file. Who needs a $140 Hello Kitty Circut cart, when you have MTC? I cut everything out with my Ecraft.
 Shhhh.... Don't tell Michelle or Candace, but this is a "sneak" peak of two of Jaded Blossom's new release's for the month of March! I can't wait to show you more sneaks next week!

So how about a give-away? 

One lucky winner will receive a Stampin Up! stamp set, 100 stick bags, and a Jaded Blossom Petal stamp set.

Happy Birthday Cynthia!

Happy Tuesday and Happy Mardi Gras!

To be completely honest, yesterday was actually Cynthia's birthday but I didn't get my post up in time. So my post and present is a day late, but hey, who doesn't like to extend their birthday by a day or two?

Anywhoo... enough about what a lame SIL I am, lets talk about Cynthia's present... shall we?

I found these super cute wooden clothes pins at Michael's last week. I found them in the $1 section and they came in several colors. I grabbed a few of the turquoise one's thinking I could spruce them up a bit and do something fun with them.
This is what I came up with. 

I used some sandpaper and roughed up the edges  a bit. I wanted it to look a little beat-up/scraped-up. Then I chose some papers from Echo Park's, This and That paper collection. 
The roses were sized in Make-the-Cut and cut out with my Ecraft. They can be found on the Quilled Flowers file from Lettering Delights. The larger one was cut out at 3" and the smaller at 2 1/4".
 The tag and sentiment are both from My Creative Time's, Teeny Tag Greetings stamp set. I think this set is one of my most favorite sentiment sets and those little tags are just the perfect size!

Happy belated birthday Cynthia! I hope you had a wonderful day!

See you tomorrow!

Hello Spring!

Happy Monday!

 I can't believe the weekend is already over and we have started a new week. I was a lucky girl and had all last week off... so it's back to the grind for me today. 

I have a fun spring card for you today. I am loving all the new "spring" colored papers and embellies that are making their way into my LSS.
My bunny is from the Spring Bunnies Svg Collection, from SvgCuts.com, she was cut out at 3 3/4". Her face is from Peachy Keen Stamps, Cute and Cuddly stamp set.
The papers are from Coredinations, PaperTrey Ink, and My Mind's Eye's, Lime Twist collection. The twine is from The Twinery.
The sentiment is from My Creative Time's new stamps set called, "Hello Spring". If you haven't Emma's fun new release and her new store, you can see them here.



Have a wonderful day!

No bugs...

Happy Wednesday!

Are you a 'techie'? does your heart beat for a geek? are you living and breathing in today's high-tech world? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions,
Jaded Blossom's stamp set called "Nerd", is the perfect sentiment stamp set for you!  
The computer is a file from Lettering Delights, it's called Programmed for Love. I used Make-the-Cut to create a shadow around it and a few hearts. Then I welded two of the shadows together to make the base of the card. If you would like to see how that is done, click here to see a video tutorial. Everything was cut out on my Ecraft.
 The papers I used are from PaperTrey Ink and Coredinations.
If you haven't seen the "Nerd" stamp set yet, click here.

I have a few more ideas for this stamp set, so stay tuned! 


I hope you have a wonderful day!

Would you keep me?

Happy Monday!

Did you have a nice weekend? It rained here in southern California. I spent most of yesterday working on blog projects for this week.
 
Today's card was made with my most favorite Jaded Blossom release this month. The stamp set  is called "Cheesy Pick Ups". It is the funnest set, you can see it here.
The dragon is from the svg file, Dargons & Dinosaurs by My Scrap Chick. He was cut out at 3" tall. The card base is a standard A2 size, I layered the front with coordinating papers and then added some twine . Everything was cut with my Ecraft.
The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and My Minds Eye.
He's pretty cute, I think I would keep him. :)

See you you back here tomorrow!

I Dig You!

Happy Tuesday!

I have a quick, easy, and fun kids Valentine idea, to share with you today!
 I found the pail and shovel at Wal-Mart for $1 in the summer section. I thought it would make a cute Valentine gift for my nephew.
 
 I filled the shovel with a handful of M&M's, placed a small treat bag over it, and tied it at the top with some twine. The scallop circle was cut at 2.5" and the inner circle at 1.85" on my Ecraft. 
The circle heart stamp and the "I dig you" sentiment are both from Jaded Blossom's stamp set called, Valentine Treats. 
He's still a bit too little to eat M&M's... Auntie just might have to step in and help him out!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

I have a fun "sneak" for you today. This Friday, Jaded Blossom, is releasing 9, yes 9, new stamps sets! I can't even tell you how excited I was to get these hot little stamps sets in my hands! I will have some fun sneaks for the rest of the week and then on Friday we will be having a blog hop reveal. 
 The bunny is from Design on Cloud 9's, Spring Cuties file. I used a couple basic shapes from the Make-the-Cut library to form the base of my card and my Ecraft to cut everything out.
 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and We R Memory Keepers.
The bunny's sweet face is from Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-440 Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment.
