Episode 52: Code Monkey!

I like making cards that are specific to the type of person, their likes or their personalities.  I think it makes creating the project more fun and personal.  So here is the card I made for my brothers birthday.  He is a computer programmer and I guess they are called Code Monkey's so that is the thought behind this card; having a monkey playing on the laptop.  :)

Card Recipe:
Life's a Party Cricut Cartridge
Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge
My Pink Stampers Family & Friends stamp set
Peachy Keen Stamps Wide Eyed Kids stamp set
Basic Grey 6x6 Basics Manila paper pad
Papertrey Ink - Dark Chocolate, Simply Chartreuse and Smokey Shadow cardstock

PPC Digi Monday - Happy Easter

It's time for the new Paper Playtime Challenge!  It's Digi Monday which means we are showcasing digital images on our projects.  The challenge theme is anything goes.  So you can submit anything for the next two weeks at Paper Playtime challenge to be eligible to win the prizes.  We are being sponsored by numerous Digi Stamp companies.  The digi stamp that I am showcasing is from Prairie Fairy called Bo Billy Bunny.  I thought he was adorable.  The idea that I had was to make a boy Easter card.  So I printed the bunny on blue cardstock and then highlighted some of the areas w/ my Versamark pen to make the areas darker.   I like the way it turned out.

Be sure to head on over to the Paper Playtime to participate in the challenge.  Also head on over to Prairie Fairy's blog to check what other creations they sale.  So cute!

Episode 51: Imagine That Blog Hop & Giveaway

Welcome to the Imagine That blog hop!  If you are here from Monica's then you are in the right place.  If this is your first stop and would like to start at the beginning head on over to Sandra's blog.

I'm really excited about this blog hop.  I just got my Imagine machine last week so this forced me to make sure that my machine was up to date and for me to start using it.  And I am loving it.  So far my favorite thing is using the patterns on the Imagine cartridges and combining them with my normal Cricut cartridges. That is what I did for today's project.  I love the softness of it.  Perfect for Spring.  And can I say I'm SO ready for Spring?  We're suppose to have snow again this weekend (I'm in UT).  SO ready even for high 50's/low 60's weather.  Until then, dreaming about it while I make Spring creations will have to do.  :)

I needed to make a Get Well card so I decided to use my Imagine and include it into this hop.  I used the Best Friends Imagine Cart and did the layers with it.  I only used the top portion of the flowers for the flower layer.  I just trimmed it myself.  I like the way it looks.  The card turned out better than I hoped for.

For this blog hop I'm giving away Sassafras Felties.  I chose the ones that reminded me of Spring and Summer.  :)  To be eligible to win please leave 1 comment on this post with a way to get a hold of you.  You do not have to be a follower to win but you're more than welcome to follow if you want.  :)  You have until Monday, March 28th, at 10pm MST, to leave a comment.  I'll announce the winner on Tuesday, March 29th.

There will also be 3 grand prize winners for this hop.  Make sure you leave a comment on each blog that is on this hop to be eligible to win a Peachy Keen Assortment stamp set or a Scrappy Moms Stamp set.

Your next stop is Nadia's blog.  Enjoy the hop!

Episode 50: Have a Mooningful Birthday!

It's my sisters birthday next week and I was trying to come up with something that is funny and special for her.  She isn't a girly girl and can have a weird and irreverent sense of humor sometimes.  :)  So my mom and I were going back and forth on ideas and she said in an offhand manner, make her a card where it's mooning at her.  Well, I took that and ran with it.  LOL

I also wanted to participate in Janis' fold card challenge so I was searching online for different type of fold cards and the Peek a Boo card just fit PERFECTLY with the type of card I want to make.  So here is my card and I go through how to make it in the video.

Oh my goodness, isn't it hilarious!  It seriously makes me laugh every time I see it.  She will love it.

Can't believe it's 50 videos already!  :)
