SuperBowl Party Invite

Hi everyone!

As you know I have been busy making Superbowl treats for our upcoming Staff Appreciation Luncheon next week.

Well good news....I had 80 to make

17 are totally completed and I have 34 almost done

I was on a roll yesterday.....cutting, cutting,cutting, inking, gluing and more cutting :)

Now I don't feel like I wont get them all done!

But another one of my projects for this upcoming luncheon was the invite that gets posted in the Teachers Lounge.

I am happy to say it is completed and hung!!

What do you think?

I used DCWV The Athletics Stack for the base

Dark Chocolate and Stampers White PTI card stock

and

Kraft card stock

for the mats

Cuttin' Up cartridge for the letters~ those all cut at 1.5"

Sports Mania for the Football~cut at 3"

(I did  add some white floss for the laces....love the way this turned out!!)



 

Those helmets are also from the Sports Mania Cartridge~cut at 3"

I found the Patriots Logo as a SVG cut

and the Giants Logo was one I traced into an SVG

both then cut using SCAL

My banner is from MCT~ Build a Banner Set and I also used

Cuttin' Up for the Roman Numbers

Of course I added some white gel pen doodles

Charcoal Twinery Twine

Foam Dots

and my computer generated invite wording.

Now off to make some more treats!!

Milk Carton Gift w/ Bugaboo Digi and D2D Fall Mini Card

Hi everyone!

I have two projects to share today and hopefully will be posting again later with another project I am working on.

First is this super adorable Milk Carton gift~ A Just Because that can be filled with anything.

The Milk Carton is a file from The Cutting Cafe.

Not too long ago Regina had a special on her Milk Cartons~ I purchased a bunch and LOVE these easy gift containers.

The Paper is from DCWV~ The Playtime Stack

The image is one of my favorites from Bugaboo Stamps~Deacon Swing.

I used the awesome tutorial from Melanie over at In Love With a Bug  and was able to print and cut the image out using SCAL. The scalloped frame was also cut with SCAL for a perfect fit.

Deacon was colored using these copics

and

the sentiment is from BugBites~ All Year Round

I cut my own tag and attached it with a sparkly brad to some green ribbon from my stash.

I can not wait to fill this and give it to someone ~ Just Because :)

"Maisie Belle"~ D2D Challenge

Morning Everyone!

It is back to school crunch time in our house!

Sneakers to be bought~school supplies to be labeled~haircuts to be had and it always seems like no matter how prepared I am I always miss something!

Not this time~~~ I am making sure everything is done before the first day which is Tuesday :)

Anyways I have a card to share with you in honor of my kids going back to school.

I used the freebie from D2D~ "School Maisie Belle"

I have to say I am proud of myself that I completed every challenge this month over at D2D! It has been a challenge with my other projects and the kids being home but I did it.

Ok enough random rambling:

My image was colored with my copics

SUPPLIES:

Paper is from DCWV~The Grade School Stack

Apple was cut from Create a Critter at 1.5"

 Trendy Twine in Peppermint Stick

Stamping Monday Challenge w/ Paper Playtime :)

Welcome to another great challenge at PAPER PLAYTIME! We are so glad you are joining us for our AUGUST STAMPING MONDAY CHALLENGE! Our theme for this challenge is VACATION.

How to play along: Make a project with the theme of VACATION using a Stamped or Digi Image/Sentiment. Easy Peasy! So for all you Cricut Lovers out there – you can still play along by adding a STAMPED sentiment. And for all you DIGI Lovers out there – use any Digi image or STAMPED sentiment on your project.

You can enter as many times as you'd like as long as all your entries are NEW projects and NO backlinks to previous blog posts.

Here is my card using Di's Digi Downloads~ Cute Carly

I colored Carly with my copics and added some white gel doodles

The paper from DCVW~ All About Girls Stack

I added some bling around the sentiment as well as a bling heart I had in my stash.

I did my VACATION card in a non traditional vacation setting because to me VACATION is all about relaxing and doing "What I Love"

I hope you like my card and will join us this week over at Paper Playtime.

Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow :)

"Swinging" in with Some Exciting news ~ and a Birthday Card :)

Morning Everyone!!

Well it is the start of the Holiday weekend and we are getting ready to spend it at the lake. The weather is going to be nice so that should make for a fun filled weekend!

But I have some EXCITING news to share! Stephanie over at Whimsical Wednesdays has asked to me stay on the DT for another term. I am so excited and so very grateful! I just love this challenge site...we have excellent challenges, amazing projects linked up every week and the sweetest DT members! Make sure to head over to the Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge Blog to meet the new DT, say hi and enter our Get Well Challenge for Angelo.

Also on Friday July 8th Whimsical Wednesdays is having a Blog Hop!! Another chance to swing by all the DT's blogs and check out all of our projects. I know there will be some excellent blog candy up for grabs as well as!!

I want to share a card I made for my Nephew's 1st birthday. It is today and yesterday I posted the canvas wall hanging I made for him. This is the card to go along with his birthday present.

I used paper from DCWV~The Playtime Stack and Changito Bday Stamps.

I used 2 pieces of the same paper from the stack, one for the base and then cut the monkey from the other. I attached him on top of the base with foam dots.

The sentiment was stamped on the same paper and also attached with foam dots. I added stitching around the sentiment to match the monkey and vines which were already on the image.

There are some candi's in the corner in green which lucky for me are the same color.

I love how this turned out....a simple cricutless card for my favorite little monkey :)

Thanks for stopping by....have a WONDERFUL and SAFE holiday weekend! I will be back on Tuesday to say hello and check out all your great weekend projects!



~~Summer Vacation Journal~~

Hi Blogging Buddies!!

Today is the first official day of summer break and I have always wanted to journal our vacation but never got around to starting.

This year since my boys are now in 3rd and 5th grade we are making it a priority to get this done.

My son picked out the paper which is DCWV~ The Endless Summer Stack as well as picked out the letters~ from the Cuttin' Up Cartridge.

We cut the sun from the Create a Critter Cartridge and I stamped a super cute face from PKS.

We dated the journal for this year using some metal numbers I had in my stash.

My son really likes the way this turned out and has already written in it for yesterday and today.

Now I just hope he can keep it up :)

 

I am entering this into the following Challenges:

Celebrate the Occasion~Celebrate summer w/ Sun

Fantabulous Cricut~ Challenge Me Monday~Summer Sun
Getting Cricky~Face It

~~Wedding Card~~

Morning Bloggers!

Happy Flag Day :)

I am posting bright and early today because then it is off to the kids school for their annual Flag Day parade.

Today's card is for 2 challenges...Whoo hoo I'm on a roll again with the challenge entries



I made a simple and what I think elegant wedding card. I used an SVG file for the scalloped oval and paper from DCVW Love and Wedding stack.

The hearts were cut from the Wedding Cartridge using the shadow and 2 layers.

I stamped the sentiment using TPC Studios~ Greetings Stamp set and added some bling with my irock.

I have wanted to purchase some crinkle ribbon and have yet to do so...then I watched some videos on how to make my own..unfortunately I can not find seam binding around here, only online. Again something I haven't ordered yet. Then I was at my favorite store yesterday buying CKC tickets for this upcoming weekend when I saw some crinkly ribbon. I bought a bunch in 6 different colors and used the white on this card. Not crinkle ribbon but close :)

I am entering this card into the following Challenges:

Cricut Cardz Challenge- #78 Wedding

Paper Cutz Challenge- #95 Pink, White & Black

Thanks for stopping by...tomorrow is Challenge time over at Whimsical Wednesdays. Make sure to come back and check out my project along with the rest of the DT.
