#13 Chance & Tavia

Challenge #13 This week the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut is to create something for the bride. Use Something old, something new, something borrowed OR something blue. I tried to use all four -new, old, borrowed, & blue in my project for this challenge.

I made this hanging plaque for a girl & her fiance' that I baby sit for. She also happens to be the best friend of the girl, my son dates (sometimes). LOL I used a 5x7 inch piece of canvas (this was my old) and painted with apple barrel paints -in antique ivory. Then using my SU wonder color crayons, Really Rust, Night of Navy(the blue), & Baroque Burgundy. I stamped (or water colored) on the dried canvas. The bride and groom are awesome, they are cut from stretch your imagination (my new item)- I just got it Friday, and made this project with it. The B&G are cut at 2 1/2", for the names I used cursive 101 at 1". I wanted a flower, but didn't have the right color, so I used my copics to make the color I wanted. Stamp sets used are SU "wedding wishes" & "to have and to hold" The only thing I borrowed was time. So there you have it all four. :) =) Added some accessories, and now I have my present to give to the bride and groom. Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

Stinkin' Cute Tick SC264

This little guy, makes me so happy. Such a cute little stinker isn't he. I may have gotten a little carried away on the embossing but I like it. I used a few of the retiring SU colors. YAY me! The more I use my Copics, the more I absolutely love them. Another one with tick pickin' posies. This is to meet challenge #264 from splitcoast stampers. This one is for my mom, she thinks skunks are cute, so do I especially this one. The colors I used are sahara sand, cameo coral, gable green, apricot appeal. I sponged the background with bashful blue. All of the embossing was done with a cricut folder. I added some ribbon and some misc flower brads. Really fun and easy to put together. The little posies have some crystal effects on them. :) tee hee have a great day.

Mickey Announces Baby Revan

Hello, glad you stopped by

Remember the plaque I made for baby Revan- well these are his baby announcements. I made some of these for the parents to be. All they have to do is fill out the back attach a picture, and send them. I figured I would make it easy for them. I wanted the announcements to match the plaque with Mickey. I am happy to report that she loved them. -thank goodness ;) I used some retired SU paper I had. and my little star punch-which is retiring. Mickey is naturally cut from mickey & friends Well, happy scrappin' ~Sharon

Wonderment

WONDERMENT UPDATE: This tutorial posted on April 22, 2009! on SplitcoastStampers. These really can be made for just about any occasion. On this one I used the "storybook" cartridge for cricut, "upsy daisy" stamp set. The flower is from the prettiest kit, colored in really rust. The image is also stamped in really rust. The cricut does not have a problem cutting through the plastic, with the regualr blade. Since the thread is only in the oven for 3 min. any cloth thread will work. I think I will rename this blogspot to bragspot. You guys I made up this really cool technique. I am trying to get it on Splitcoast. We will do it at our Christmas Ornament Stamp Camp. (Date to be announced). But I absolutely love it, I had to do the happy dance, when everything worked!!!!!! Hopefully soon I will be posting my own link to a tutorial. If not I will have to figure out something else. Thanks for looking, I really hope you all like this one. You can also view my tutorial here......

I get to babysit him, so I see him everyday- and I can not believe he is so old. I have a little influence on this poor kid, so I am sure -he will be catching toads in no time. This is Lucas & Freddie they are another High Hope stamp that I colored with my copics. The paper I used was rose red, and SU! Scrap kit happy birthday. I used mustard ribbon, and my large star punch. I'm tellin' though--it's those feet! :) Thanks for stopping by! Have a terrific day!!

My Favorite Princesses

It was so funny when I went to Michael's to get some paper, stickers, etc. You know the typical stuff you do, when preparing to scrapbook. So there are papers, kits and sticker of princesses. I would pick them up and think oh those are cute. Then as I thought about it, Ariel, Belle, & Mulan weren't around when I went to Disney Land as a child. Such a reminder that I am getting older. My daughter asks me if I met Ariel, sadly I did not. When I took my boys they weren't interested in meeting the "princesses" but here are some pages I did of the two different times I went with my dad.

Featuring my favorite princesses! Princess Aurora is my favorite. Just a little FYI for ya! I absolutely love the fairies. I think they turned out so cool. My cricut never ceases to amaze me.

I This is the layout for the second year that we went. Still with my favs. Thank goodness there are so different poses you can do.

Pinochio

This LO I really like. I used my "life is a beach" cartridge. I remember being amazed at how life like these little houses were I went on this ride.

I am trying to use my retiring SU colors. That has been my personal challenge. Because seriously what else am I going to do with it? The whale is cut from bordering blue. The rest of the blue is Brocade.

I thought the buttons added a cute touch, along with the google eye. My little guy really pops out! He is such a cute whale. I see a bright future for him. "get whale" cards "whale of a birthday" cards. So I hope you have this cartridge- and can play with this whale.

Have a great day!

May Trade Cards (SC165)

The challenge this month was to se Splitcoast challenge #165 with a birthday theme.

Let's see how we all did.

(Holly) I think this is the closest to the sketch that we have all stayed. Nice job for your take on it, and for using your SU build a brad set.

Smurftastic Birthday!!!

This is the cake I made for my little girls birthday. We love to watch the Smurfs together. So when she saw this cake pan, she absolutely wanted to have a blue party, featuring Smurfette. I got her the first season of the Smurfs on DVD. "Now we can watch them everyday" She says.

I ordered the Smurf figurines from amazon. She was disappointed to find out that they were only for decoration. They are mommies, I did tell her she could play with them when she wanted. LOLThe mushroom is from "Tink & Friends" The Smurfette I found on an online coloring book. Printed it out and colored her with my copics.

These are her cupcakes, she decorated, and we put the smurfs on. We had blue cake, blue punch, blue flatware, plates etc. She had a blast. She was amazed at all the blue. Almost everyone wore blue too. Good party participants, even Grandpa.

These are all from an online coloring book. I had so much fun decorating for her party. I can't wait to do her scrapbook full of blue, and Smurfs that I colored. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Disney in the 70's

I have been having so much fun scrapping these pages. I get to relive Disney, when I went with my dad. It brings back so many memories. It's amazing sometimes you forget things, and your memory is jogged with a smell, a song, and especially a picture. I am glad that I like to scrapbook. Saving memories is important, but it's more enjoyable to look at when creatively put together. That's my opinion anyway. I definitely must take my daughter to Disney Land. I have taken my boys~but I am due again. Hopefully in September, then I can scrapbook my babies trip.

I used some Disney paper I used, as well as my cricut to cut out Dale, or Chip-which ever you prefer. I think it's Dale though. :)

I think meeting Chip & Dale were my favorite. I remember them being the funniest.

Here is a closeup of my chipmunk. I used the Mickey & friends cartridge. He is cut at 3". I think he is adorable. It is amazing that the Cricut people can these pieces of cut paper so close. Great job Cricut people. lol Hope you have a great day.

Sea World

Ya know I gotta say thank goodness for DAD's sometimes. My dad put these into an album for me, and saved them. Now when I get my grubby little hands on them. They look nice, and not all cut up like the ones that have been in my possession. He did ask me why I didn't leave them the way he had them In one of those of those albums that you just slide the pictures into. "well I have to express my creativity" These LO I am much more pleased with, basically because I was more inspired because the pictures are whole. I used the "life's a beach" cartridge for all of these LO. That cartridge really has cute images on it. I am glad I broke it out. We had a great time together. :)

Ok *smile* have a great day
