Birthday Card for Birthday Sundaes: Challenge #21~ Another Bugaboo Image

Hi Everyone!

It is Sunday and usually we have something planned...some sort of job around the house to get done but today is a LAZY day~ at least for me and I have been crafting all day.

Most of what I have been doing is DT work that I cant share at the moment but I did squeeze in some time to make a challenge card.

I know...Halloween is a ways away but I just love this skelekinz~Birthday digi from Bugaboo.

I colored her with my copics (I think my cricut is jealous...my copics have been getting tons of love lately) and layered her on a new paper stack I just picked up at Joanne's.

Cloud 9 Designs~Seasonal Stack.

The entire pack is Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas paper.

I stamped the "boo" with Fiskars Halloween Night Stamp Set

and the "birthday girl" with MPS Pinka-licious Stamp Set.

I added some homemade skittles and distressed the papers with my Tim Holtz paper distresser.

So there you have it...

I will enter this into the following Challenges:

Birthday Sundae's~ Challenge #21
Catch the Bug Challenge~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT night!!

Scrap Paper Clean Up, Copic Marker Storage Solution & A Card :)

It is a crappy day here....raining like CRAZY and flood watches all around.

What to do on a Sunday like this....play with paper of course :)

I thought my boys would be beating eachother up by now but they are playing sooo good with Legos. I really love days like this! Everyone is happy and I am getting tons done! (I still have a long list  but slowly things are getting done)

I wanted to share a tip that I saw over at DoubleClick Connections-AKA ABusyBee. Carrie had a GREAT tip on using all that scrap designer paper which I am sure we all have a ton of!
Cut it all down to the size you use the most for your cards. I make alot of A2 cards so I cut my scrap down to 4 x 5 1/4. (Alittle smaller that the standard A2 size which is  4 1/4 x 5 1/2)

ended up with this :)

started with this

Now I only went through 1/4 of my paper but already I feel like I can create so much with what I already have cut down.

This is the card I created from my scrap find! I really love this paper and you sometimes tend to forget what you have laying around when the scrap piles get really big...like mine.
The paper is K & Company Faded China Paper Pad and the card is an A2 base with the pattern paper cut at 4 x 5 1/4. I added a simple black ribbon and made my own stick pins (again another tip from Carrie)
I made a rosette with the coordinating paper and stamped the sentiment with My Pink Stamper's Pinka-licious set.
I am going to enter this card over at Birthday Sundaes-use at least 3 circles

Lastly I was searching for a better way to store my growing collection of copics without spending the big bucks and being able to see all the colors in their grouping better. I think I found the perfect solution.

I found these pencil boxes at Target today. They came in 3 different colors and I bought one of each color. They have 4 divided sections and I used a small binder clip to hold them all together. Then I was able to separate by color and see what I have. I will go back and get at least another one...there are a few colors together because I ran out of room. I really love the find and the solution!!
Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow :)

MPS- Challenge #3- Card w/ Breast Cancer Theme

This is my last post for tonight.
This is challenge #3- Create a card/LO/3D with a Breast Cancer Theme for My Pink Stamper.
I make a simple shape card using Accent Essentials for the base which I welded together and a smaller same shape for the layer.
I cut the ribbon our from Stand and Salute and inked the edges of all the images with blush pigment ink. A few pink pearls around the edges also.
The paper is Making Memories- Think Pink
My sentiments are from My Pink Stamper-
Pinka-Licious.

MPS Challenge #7- Scrapbook Page

Back for another post for another challenge over at My Pink Stamper. This one is for challenge #7- create a scrapbook page.
I used a small 8x8 kit I had from K & Company called Sweet and Sassy. All the papers are the coordinating sheets from the kit. I cut a big heart from George and Basic Shapes and stamped using a journaling stamp from Hero Arts.
This page is very girl-ly which I love but will have to give to someone who has girls which I do not.
There is a spot for pictures and a nice spot to journal. I really like this size also.

MPS-Challenge #11- Pink, Green and Black-Thank You Card

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's out there! I hope everyone had a GREAT day!
Continuing with yesterday's National Scrapbooking Day I wanted to complete some more challenges over at My Pink Stamper.
Here is my card for challenge #11. Create something with the colors pink, green and black.
I used a stamp from the dollar bin and colored the image with my copics.
The paper is scrap from the "bin". We all have the "bin" right?!?!?
I matted all the designer paper on black cardstock and added some simple flower embellishments.
A cute and quick thank you card.

Here is my card for MPS Challenge #6- project w/a tag.
The image is a bugaboo digi stamp..colored with my copics and doodled with my white gel pen.
The tag is made using a border punch and attaching behind the image.
I punched some small stars and pop dotted them up for some more dimensions

MPS-Challenge #5- 3D item

Here is the card I made for Challenge #5 over at MPS. The challenge is to make a 3D item or add a 3D element to your project.
I made a Father's Day card with a 3D rosette. I stamped the image and glued it to the center of my rosette.
The saw and hammer were a free SVG file and I added screw brads to the corners for added "man-ly-ness" LOL
