Birthday Wishes

Today's card is for my Aunt. It was used with the Cricut Lite Slumber Party cartridge. I added stickles to the cherry and the sprinkles. I used the Polka Dot Cuttlebug folder. The base paper and ribbon is from PTI. The paper on the cupcake wrapper is from the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely paper stack. The sentiment is from the Scrappy Mom's Sweet Somethings stamp set.

1 Year Congrats!

My brother has been out on his mission for one year now. Just one more to go. I can't believe it's already been a year. Wow. So for his anniversary I made this card for him.

I wanted the outside to be very simple. So when he opened it up he gets this:

A tie for every month he's been out. Hopefully it's a WoW for him. Of course, he is a 24 y/o boy so who knows. :) I got the pop up idea w/ acetate paper from Youtube member vadeler. If you click on the name you'll see the Youtube video I saw.

I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge for the ties. I would recommend laying them out in the way you want to see it before gluing them on. I didn't, lesson learned. :)

The designer paper used for the ties is the Basic Grey Oliver 6x6 paper pack. I used the Checkerboard Cuttlebug folder. The Enchanted Evening (blue) paper and ribbon is from PTI. Grey paper is from SU! Not sure where I got the acetate paper, metal photo brackets or the stamp.

Don't forget to sign up for my giveaway in the post below.

It's Not Easy Being Pink - Thank you Robyn!

Welcome to the It's Not Easy Being Pink blog hop!!! We wanted to thank Robyn, My Pink Stamper, for the privilege of working with her these last few months. It was such a wonderful experience and an honor to be part of her design team. She is an amazing woman who does so much for others. We also want to thank her for sharing her fabulous talent with us. So we wanted to do something special for her. We are holding this blog hop in her honor!

This blog hop includes 7 previous My Pink Stamper Design Team Members. Emma is still a current design team member (Lucky!). The theme of each of our products is some form of "Thank you!". You will definitely want to check out everyone's projects, they are fabulous! Plus each blog has a fun giveaway! So let's get the party rollin'....

I already sent a little thank you gift to Robyn so I wanted to make a project "Robyn Inspired". When I think of her I think of Pink and Butterflies. The first thing I did was to change my blog design to be pink! :) Then I made a card with that inspiration as well...

The butterfly cut is from the Straight from the Nest cartridge. I cut it out twice for added dimension. The sentiment is from her Buggy Punnies stamp set. Adorable! I also used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder, PTI ribbon & Paper and the darker teal paper is from SU!. I used Stickles on the body of the butterfly as well as the swirl. I outlined the edge of my butterfly, both layers, w/ a Versamark pen. (Thanks Glora for the idea!)

For my giveaway I am giving away a 6x6 scrapbooking kit from SEI. It contains an album, designer paper, label and frame stickers, die-cut tags, alphabet stickers, brads and ribbon. If you're not a scrapbooker (like me) everything in the kit can easily be used towards your card making. That's what I do when I see one of these types of kits on sale. :) I'm also including 3 adorable butterfly stamps (2" each) from Studio G. To be entered into this giveaway please subscribe to my blog if you haven't done so already and leave a comment on this post along w/ a way to get a hold of you. The winner will be chosen by random.org. You have until Tuesday July 27th at 10pm MDT to enter. I'll announce the winner on Wednesday the 28th.

Now on to the other fabulous women! The next person on the hop is Rowena. Her projects are always SO wonderful!

The order of the blog hop is as follows:

Julie
