My Pink Stamper NSD Challege #4

I finished this a few hours ago but had to go to my Dad's for dinner. He just didn't seem to understand that I wanted to stay home and play! This challege was to use your least favorite or used cartridge. I actually love mine and have used the all once at least. But I pulled out Tinkerbell since I haven't pulled that out in a long time. This cut was perfect for a birthday layout. The cut is a little strange, the r and i cut out apart from the rest. But it's still cute and I cut it at 3 inches. I added the cuttlebug D'vine Swirl folder but since it left weird marks, I added the ribbon to it (which would make this work for challenge 3 as well, but I didn't enter that one). Just added some white pen to the words. This made for a very fast page!

Spring Challenge Blog Hop--The Cuttlebug Spot

So I started out making a completely different card. I cut a ladybug out and everything (You'll see what I did with that tomorrow!).

Since it changed direction, I decided this one would be good for The Cuttlebug Spot challenge this week. They are part of the Spring Challenge Blog Hop this week. You can visit them here: http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/

I ran most of the white carstock through the cuttlebug with the D'vine Swirl folder. Then I decided to put red stickles on the embosses swirls since the challenge was to add bling. It is much more sparkly in person! The stamp is from TCP Studios. I added the red ribbon and red skittles. But I wanted a little more bling so I added some clear gems to some of the swirls.

Not my usual kind of card!

Valentine Flowers

Wow, I haven't blogged in a while! It's been a busy time in my house. And then I thought it would be a good idea to make these Valentine flowers for my daughter's class--that took up several nights in one week!! I got the idea from Kathy over at Paper Phenomenon--you can check out her video here: http://paperphenomenon.blogspot.com/2010/01/mini-flower-pot-dollar-spot-project.html

She has some great projects on her blog!!

I got my pots in the regular section at Michaels for 59 cents, but they have a hole in the bottom and I think they are a bit smaller. We did red for the boys and pink for the girls. Used George for the flower--used the blackout feature-- and that's where the heart tag came from too! I just used plain cardstock, but we ran it through the cuttlebug with the divine swirls folder. I would use thinner cardstock next time--this was a bit hard to form the flowers with. I used some green curling ribbon for the 'leaves'



For the teachers, we used a bigger pot and made a 'bouquet' with 3 flowers.



Here's the last picture of 20 of them in a box (I had to 1 cram more in). They were a huge hit--the teachers loved them and the kids were all asking my daughter how she made them--she did help at least!!

Mojo Monday 120 Contest

I finally have some time to do some blog challenges. This one is for Mojo Monday--here's their blog http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/ they have great sketches every week!

I used DCWV sweet stack paper, Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder, and a Martha Stewart punch for the border at the bottom. The stamps are the Studio G $1 stamps. And I can't forget the bling!!

Thanks for looking!! Hope everyone has a very happy New Year!!
