Sending You Birthday Wishes~ Challenge Card and A Halloween Card

Hi everyone!

I had a card all ready to post yesterday and I got too tired so I am posting double today.

The first one I made for two challenges:

The Ribbon Girl~ use ribbon

and

Birthday Sundaes~All about the Brads

OK so my card is a shape card using George and Basic Shapes Cartridge and welded on my gypsy.

The balloons are from Simply Charmed cut at 3.5" and I used the shadow feature as well.

I added the PKS faces~ Everyday Character and Simple Sallies.

I colored my own ribbon again using my copics and BV08 and R85.

I know the picture is not the greatest but the card base as well as the sentiment mat and ribbon are all purple and are all the same color.

So the sentiment is actually a dollar bin find that seemed to fit too good with my balloons :)

A little twine on the balloons, 3 purple brads, some white gel pen doodles and a paper clip to hold the sentiment and my card is complete!

So here is my second card.

I picked up this cute pumpkin die at the store the other day on clearance and of course had to give it a try :)



Cute little pumpkins....a very simple card using Cloud 9 Season Paper Stack and Fiskars Halloween Night sentiment.

I added more white gel pen doodles on my pumpkins and popped up the middle one for some dimension.

So thanks for stopping by and make sure you stop by tomorrow for another Paper Playtime challenge

 and a new Whimsical Wednesday challenge on Wednesday.

Have a GREAT night :)

Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge #16~ Fun with Folds

Good Morning Bloggers!

It is time for another Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge

This weeks challenge is~~ Fun With Folds

Create a CARD that is anything but a shape or A2 style. For example an easel, gatefold, waterfall.

For my card I made a Twisted Easel Card

Here it is closed~ It is an A2 size but when you open it...

It looks like this!!!

I love making these fun and VERY easy cards....

Here are the details to make your own...

Start with your base color cut at 4 1/4 x 9 3/4

Score at 5 1/2

Then score diagonally~ corner to inside corner

Fold on the score lines and decide how you want your card to twist. Cut a top layer at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

Attach that top layer to your diagonal fold. You can see mine attached here. It makes an A2 size card when folded up

But here is what it looks like opened!

Now decorate away!

For my project today I used the Simply Charmed Cartridge and cut the baby buggy at 3 1/2".

The bottle and pacifier are cut at 2"

The sentiment is cut at 1 1/2".

I added PKS~ Simple Sallies to the baby, bottle and pacifier.

Blinged up the wheels with Bo Bunny brads.

Added 2 stamped images with a baby stamp set from the dollar bin :)

Alittle stickles to the cut sentiment and some white gel pen doodles around the wheels.

So I hope you like my Twisted Easel.

I would love to see you join us this week over at Whimsical Wednesdays. Make sure you visit Whimsical Wednesdays to see the other DT's projects and link up your Fun Fold Card.

Thanks for stopping by!



Baby Boy LO~ Welcome Little One

Hi Bloggers!

I have been busy all day playing with my paper and I just remembered that Karen over at

 Karen-Kakes-Krafts is having a Challenge that I wanted to enter.

What is the challenge you ask? To make a Baby Boy LO and if you enter you have the chance to win a Your Story Machine! Oh how I want one!!

So here is my LO

I did a 2 page 8 x 8  LO

The Paper used is from my scrap but I believe it is Cloud 9

The cuts are from Simply Charmed and the photo mat scallops were cut with SCAL and a file from Cheryl's Cute Bugs.

I used the PK faces Simple Sallies for the lettering and Everyday Characters for the baby.

I left lots of room on the sides for journaling and 2 large mats for pictures.

Hope you like it?

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT night!

"Your one in a Melon"

Good Morning Bloggers!

It is a beautiful day here and I hoping to take the kids swimming :)

But I wanted to share a card I made for the BBTB2 Watermelon Challenge and Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge.

For whatever reason I am having the hardest time uploading pictures....anyone else having this problem? I'm not sure if it is my computer or blogger issues again :(

Yahoooo....my picture uploaded!

Using the sketch I came up with this.



The paper is a new stack I picked up from DCWV~ The Playtime Stack.

I used the Stretch your Imagination Cartridge for the watermelon cut at 1".

I hid the face and stamped a cute one with my Peachy Keen~Simple Sallies.

I computer generated the sentiment and printed it on white cardstock after I stamped the little leaves using a Stampin' Up stamp and olive green ink.

I popped the cut scallop up (used SCAL) and popped the watermelon up as well.

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day :)
