Cookie Card Challenge - Yummy Popsicles!

Hi Crafters & Bakers! Today Georganne and I are doing our Cookie Card challenge. Which means I get to snag one of her designs and create a card off of it, w/ permission. :) It has been SO hot here in Utah and when I saw her Popsicle cookies I just had to make them on a card. I didn't put a sentiment on it so it can be used for a Thank You, Just Because, Hi, and a Birthday card. Lately when I have been making cards for a non specific reason I don't put a sentiment on it so I can use it in different ways.  Here are the cards that Georganne made:

You can see her post on these cookies HERE.

Here is my card on it:

I added Glossy Accents to the Popsicles to make them look wet.

Be sure to head on over to LilaLoa, Georganne's blog, to see what she made of mine.  Be sure to hang there for a while and read her posts and look at her cookies.  Her posts are so funny and interesting and her cookies are just amazing!

Hawaiian Thank You!

Hi Crafters & Bakers!  Today I'm going to give you a sneak peek of some cookies that Georganne hasn't featured yet.  Well, at least I don't think she has.  :)  These cookies she made for my aunt, her mother-in-law.  My dad took the pic at the party, so I had an inside scoop!  I loved the island image cookie and decided to make my card off of that one.  (HERE is her post that she did on these cookies)

Here is my card based off those cookies...

 I made this card in a postcards style.  I didn't have a folded edge.  Here's the back.

Make sure you head on over to Georganne's blog to see what she made of mine into a cookie.

I also wanted to share a video I made of my story over the last year.  If you don't mind, take the time to watch and share with others.  Thank you!

Summer in the Fall

Hi Crafters! I'm posting a very summery card in the fall.  The reason for it?  It's my aunts birthday!  We have visited Hawaii together a couple of times and she is wanting to go back w/ her hubby soon.  So I made her a Hawaiian flower card to give her some sunshine until she can get there.  This was a super simple card but I love the colors.  :)  Here you go...

Yummy Birthday Card

This is the card that I made for my mom's birthday.  My mom loves fudgesicles.  Of course, I couldn't make a fudgesicle on a card, I'd be afraid of how it would look so I opted to make it more rainbow colored.  LOL  :)

This cut is from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge and I cut it out at 4.5".  I hid the face on the ice cream part and it is cut out twice to make it thicker.  I used my Berries & Cream Imagine cartridge for the ice cream paper.  I also added glossy accents to the popsicle to make it look wet.

Summer Challenge

OK, so this is "technically" not a birthday post but it does have a giveaway.  You just have to participate in the challenge to be eligible for it.  "Technically" my birthday week starts tomorrow but please enjoy this post and try for the challenge.  It is a lot of fun!  To participate you need to create a project, of any kind, that has the theme of Summer.  Then submit the project over at the Paper Playtime Challenge.  I am sponsoring this challenge so that is why I am including it in my birthday week.  :)

I was asked to create a poster that was announcing our church Summer party.  I had a lot of fun making this project.  The size of the poster is 14" x 22".  I put (2) 12" x 12" light blue cardstock down for my sky.  I then cut down the same color cardstock to 8.5" x 11" and printed my message in black on it w/ my computer and glued that down so it blended into the main background.

Enjoy!

The goodies I will be giving away are the following:

This prize includes the following:

Making Memories Whimsy Embellishment Kit:  100 Buttons, Die cut shapes, Chipboard Alphas & 40 Printed Flowers.  Total of 214 pieces plus a cute box it's in. :)

To be eligible you need to submit a project at the Paper Playtime Challenge.  Not here.

Now create something Summery and submit it over at the Paper Playtime Challenge.  Starting tomorrow I will have a guest create a project for my blog and I will be having a giveaway.  So make sure you come back!  ;)
