Episode 119: Flower Cookie Card

Hi Crafters & Bakers! :)  It's the first Friday of the month which means its time for the Cookie Card Challenge between Georganne and I.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about it's a challenge that my cousin Georganne and I do together.  She is a baker and makes cookies and cakes.  The challenge is that I make a card off of one of her cookiess and she makes a cookie off of one of my cards. Super Fun!  :D

This is the cookie that I decided to create:

Super cute huh?  When I bookmarked this cookie on my computer over a year ago I thought that this would be a cute card.  You can see her post HERE.  This is my creation based off that cookie:

Here is a pic of the back of the card.  I didn't make a card that opens and closes.  It's like a postcard of sorts.  More details in the video.

To see what Georganne made of mine go HERE.

Episode 70: What is the Pictionary Word?

Did the title of this post capture your attention?  I hope so!  :)  I made this card for my Dad's bday.  It's from a memory of a family inside joke.  The main story is we were playing Pictionary and it was my Dad's turn to draw.  He drew an image of a path leading to a volcano, with lots of trees around and village people going up the path carrying a virgin sacrifice.  It sort of looked liked this:

Here is an up close look of my sacrificial virgin.  Aren't I just a fabulous artist?  lol

(First, sorry the section where I'm trying to put the stamp on is so long, I thought I had edited that out.  It wasn't until I was watching it tonight that I realized I didn't).

So what was the word that my dad pulled?  Sacrifice?  Village?  Nope!  Volcano!  Yep, my dad drew a whole scene for the word volcano AND he barely even had time to draw the volcano before time ran out.  No one guessed correctly on what he was trying to draw.  It was so funny and we've never let it go since.  :)  So what was your guess of what my Dad was trying to draw?

When I was thinking about what to do for this project I realized Mother's Day was coming up and wondered what my Mom would like. Her favorite candy is 'Good & Plenty' and they just happened to be the right colors I was looking for! The flower was cut using the Forever Young cartridge and the leaves using the Give a Hoot cartridge. All of the paper and ribbon is from PTI. I also used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. On the container I used the My Pink Stamper's Simply Sweet Occasions stamp set which you can get at Custom Crops. I used SU! punches for the tag. I got the tin container from Specialty Bottle.

Be sure to check out Amy Jo's project by going to the My Pink Stampers site. It's fabulous!
