~My Heart is With You~

Hi Everyone!!

I have yet another Valentine's Day card to share....

this one for several challenges

I found a card idea on Pinterest and wanted to case it.....of course

what I pictured my finished card to look was nothing like what I actually created and was changed

several times during the process

  so I went with this and is now an original LOL!!

My card base is Kraft cardstock ~ A2 size

Designer paper is from My Minds Eye~ Love Me Stack

That beautiful polka dot ribbon is blog candy I won over at Shellye's~ Thanks Shellye!

Sentiment is from My Creative Time~ 100% Sweetness

I used George and Basic Shapes for the oval and then stamped inside~ perfect fit!!

The hearts are a Provo Craft die and they were cut using PTI~ Pure Poppy Card stock

Happy Birthday Cupcake~ CAS Challenge Card

Hey Everyone!

I am back with another post for today...

If you want to check out my EAD Designs Color Challenge Tag click here

This morning my husband was running out the door and as he was gathering his lunch said

"hey I need a birthday card~do you have one?"

I did but told him I will make a bunch so they are on hand for when he needs them.....

So with that said I needed an idea that was quick and easy and that could be massed produced

this is what I came up with

I am so loving all the CAS looking cards out there and want to do more like that

Talk about a quick and easy birthday card :)

The cupcake is a digi from Paper Smooches

that I printed on white card stock

colored with my copics

and

cut out using My Creative Time's~ Scallop & Stitched Circle Die

The scalloped circle is PTI~ Lavendar Moon card stock

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches~ Simple Sentiments stamp set

I also added some stickles to the cherry

and there you have it.....

This should hold him off till next month :)

EAD Designs Color Challenge #21 ~ Black and White

Good Morning Everyone!!

It is time for another EAD Designs Color Challenge!!

 Black and White

and check out these awesome coordinating stickerz~

Vintage Treausres Set

For my project I stepped outside my norm and wanted to give a it a go on creating a vintage inspired tag

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge for my tag base

cut at 3 1/4 x 6

The beautiful background stickerz from EAD Designs that I attached to my tag and cut to size.

I ran my Tim Holtz distresser around the edges to age it alittle more

For the "Antiques" stickerz I attached it to a piece of heavily distressed white card stock that I sprayed with

silver glimmer mist

When it was all dried I used Tim Holtz corners to hold it all in place

My flowers were some old ones I had in my stash that I also sprayed with glimmer mist

I used Tuxedo Black Crinkle Ribbon from 3 Girl Jam

and some beautiful lace that I received last year from a swap

I had some long Tim Holtz fasteners that I used through the bottom of my bird cage die and

I made some stick pins using beads again from my stash.

As my ideas were spinning for this project I remembered receiving this awesome bird cage and bird that Karen sent me a long while back cut out of a coke can....how cool is that?

Well I never really came up with an idea as to how to use it until now!

It is not old and antique-y but I love the look of it on my tag

To finish off my tag I added some bling :)

Antique White Crinkle Ribbon and some fun silver tinsel

I think the more I look at this the more I think it is a mix between old and new.

So how did I do with my first tag?

Now be honest....you wont hurt my feelings :)

What do you think of these awesome stickerz from EAD Designs?

 I <3 them!!

Some "Sweet" Treats~ The Cutting Cafe DT

Happy hump day everyone!!

I have some sweet treats to share with you using

The Cutting Cafe's ~ Candy Sentiments Sets.

The sets myself and the rest of the DT will be showcasing this week

We are always looking for fun and creative Valentine's Day treat ideas for out Kiddos and

The Cutting Cafe has just what you need!

They are so easy to use and perfect for the multiple treats we all like to make :)

Here are just 3 ideas of fun, fast and super cute treats your kiddo's will LOVE!!

How "sweet" is this very simple sour cream container?

I used the Starbust background

and the adorable matching tag for this.

I added a star stamp, colored it in with my copics and added some stickles

For directions on making this sour cream container~ click here

Next...

This sucker holder I found while blog hopping over at

Michelle's~ Scrapping with my Bug

For this one I used the Lollipop Background, matching tag and some Lilac Twinery Twine

This is so super easy to mass produce! Plus when you print out the background there is enough to make

at least 20 of these!

Lastly...

For this "sweet" treat~ every one's favorite M&M's

I used The Cutting Cafe's~ Tiny Box w/ Sentiments

The Cutting Cafe's~ M & M Candy Sentiment Set

The matching sentiment tag

and

Crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam

This little box is a perfect size for a generous treat of chocolate goodness!

I hope I have shared some idea for easy treats that can be made using these adorable files!

The best thing is.....you can buy the whole set for $5.25

That is all 10 sets of Candy Sentiments~ and they can be found here

and we are joined this month with Lauren as our Guest Designer!

Welcome Lauren....looking forward to seeing all your craftiness this month!!

For my project today I wanted to use these adorable
Camp Trip Stickerz

Way back in 2007 we took a camping trip to Crater Of Diamonds State Park

I had yet to scrap this adventure...yeah I know it has been a long time since that trip

and these stickerz were the perfect embellishment for my LO

So I apologize...this is alittle picture heavy.... but here is my whole 12 x 12 LO

See all the adorable EAD Designs Stickerz?

Here are my 2 little men... I can not believe how little they look!

I used the cute little camper boy...that I had printed on clear and backed him on vintage Cream PTI card stock. He was then fussy cut along with all my other stickerz and pop dotted up for some added dimension.

I could not get over how perfect these stickerz matched the photo's I printed!

My 3 boys around the campfire...toasting marshmallows of course!

Look at how cute these stickerz are!

Such great added elements they added to my LO!

Besides these adorable stickerz

I used card stock in Orange Zest,  Dark Chocolate and True Black from PTI

Designer paper from a mini 6 x 6 pack that I had in my stash~ sorry don't know where it came from :(

white gel pen for doodles

Letters cut from Cindy Loo cartridge

Journaling done on my computer

and

brads from my stash

I am so happy with the way this LO turned out!

Hope you like it also :)
