Congrats ladies and thanks to everyone for playing along!!!!!!!
So this weeks challenge over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ was to create a set of 3x3 cards. The true requirement was simply to make a set of 4, 3x3 cards.
I know teacher appreciation is this week so I wanted to make a fun and colorful set of cards for my daughter's teachers. If you haven't taken the time to thank the Teachers in your life, please do so. It would mean allot to them (I'm sure). Shhhh don't tell her teachers but they are going to get a wonderful boutique of cookies on Friday from a local bakery.
I also made a larger card for my mommy for mothers day using the same colors, but shhhh again don't tell her. :)
I used the Cricut imagine and Lori's Garden for the pattern papers.
I cut the flower on this card at 2.5" which bearly fits a 3x3 card.
I stamped the cards with Small Talk stamp set from Emma. I think it's so fun using the 3x3 stamp w/ the dots and the sentiment. I really wanted the THANKS to pop out so I used the black memento ink. The pink dots are rosebud ink.
I plan on making little envelopes but am running out of time right now I"ll make them in a while. :)
I added a pretty little lime button and some lime twine.
For 2 of them I just popped them up using foam dots, the other 2 I used an action wobble to make the flower float.
I think they turned out so pretty and can't wait for my daughter to give them to her teachers.
Let me start off by saying Welcome to National Scrapbook Day (or in this case Weekend). Thanks to Sis and Sara for asking me to be apart of this fun filled weekend.
Today I have a fun color challenge for you. Sometimes I find it really hard to do a color challenge because it may not be my colors I normally love to use. Well the tables are turned and today I am picking the colors for you to use.
A few months back my girl friends and I signed up for the Mega Meet in Novi, MI. which is a huge scrapbook show. We all wanted to make T-shirts so I offered to make them. Let me tell you I LOVE working with vinyl, but the Iron on Vinyl scared me!!!! Not sure why but it did - maybe because it is a little pricey and I only have 1 week left before the show and 1 piece of each color??
So without further a do here is your color challenge: Make a project using the following colors:
- Yellow (maize), Pink (fuchsia), Blue (sky) Green (apple), Purple, and Hibiscus (salmon/orange).
You have until May 12th at 8:00 PM to make your creation and post on the Cricut Message board. Oh and because this is a fun weekend wouldn't it be great to have a fun little prize??? I will be giving away a prize to random participant.
1) Select your design for this I like to use CCR - and great different tabs for each color I'm working with.
I type my words correctly then highlight them all and "flip" them see below
2) Make sure you "flip" the image you want - especially for words.
3) Cut your images leaving the protective film on it. For the Sisser Easy Weed iron on vinyl - you will put the glossy side to the mat (that is the protective film). Use a Kiss cut also - for that my speed was medium, pressure was 3, and blade 3.
4) Weed the negative parts. (Here's a saving tip - use a really pointy tip objects like your Cricut Tool kit pick and pull away from the image).
Then for this product you will use a normal house hold iron.
I set my iron to preheat at cotton. I walked away and let it warm up. Then iron the shirt w/o any thing on it.
Then lay the 1st piece in this case it was the fuschia color.
I then added the words to the center of that area. When working with an item you've already put the vinyl on you will want to protect it. So keep that large piece of film you took off from the base piece.
Then I continued putting each piece down - pressing the iron for about 15 seconds (DON'T RUB IT OVER IT PRESS AND HOLD THEN MOVE TO NEXT SPOT overlapping slightly to the previous). Peel the protective fill off - this one is either hot or cold peel.
If you are layering items I found it best to only let the first layer press for 15 seconds - then add the 2nd layer and do the full 20 seconds there.
Hope you enjoy and can't wait to see what you make using the colors: Yellow, Blue, Green, Fuschia, Green and Hibiscus.
Happy Scrappin'

So I always love doing challenges and this one is probably one of MY FAVORITES. I love a "number" them - using 10 in this case. It's so fun because I normally use odd numbers. So this really made me think out of the box.
I used a couple of lines of EP Paper. I didn't have time to run to my local LSS and pick up any more so I combined lines.
I just love the Sweet Girl Collection it is one of my favorites and I mean favorites. LOVE the colors, the patterns. Well I'm in love with lots of EP collections.
I did a fun layout of my daughter. I used 10 flowers, and 10 leaves (I know 10 but I did 10 of each. I almost had 10 papers.. I think this one I wanted to keep rather simple as the photo is a favorite of mine. It captures the sweetness of my daughter yet is very feminine.
I hope you enjoy and I've really enjoyed playing along w/ EP.
Welcome to the fun filled events for the National Scrapbook day hosted by several other wonderful ladies who have a passion for crafting. I'm glad you've joined us for these fun events. If you haven't visted the cricut message board I recommend doing so lots of fun challenges, tutorials, chats and prizes given away.
The challenge I'm hosting is the The Crazy B's... That's right...
For this challenge please create a project using the following: Buttons, Brads, Bling and a baby. This challenge will end on May 12 at 8:00 PM and all enteries either on the blog or the message board will be entered for a prize.
I saw this funny photo of my daughter and thought it would be GREAT to share and make a cute and fun layout with it. This photo was taken a couple of years ago but I love the look and finger pointing she has.
She is just as silly now as she was then. I just love her silly face and this silly girl. She's just so much fun.
So now that you've seen my challenge inspiration lets see yours.
I will say I have used the Cool Summer collection by Carta Bella.
The flowers are cut from cricut basic at 1" and 1/2"
I added the cut little brads inside the flowers.
The bling is these cute little pearls.
Then I had to add a few buttons to make it just a little more fun.
I don't normally use the sticker letters in the packs but thought these were just darling.
The date stamp is a roller stamp - from Amy Tangerine
Hope you enjoy and
Happy Scrappin'

So today I'm playing along with some online challenges if you haven't already guessed. I'm playing Carta Bella and also Echo Par. Which I will say are 2 of my favorite lines. I love the fun colors, the pretty papers and just the entire collection.
So for this challenge I made an easel card. Love how fun they are yet very simple to make.
For this one I used the Echo Park paper Hello Summer line. Just so fun.
The card is a 5x5 card when folded. I popped up a few of the elements. The sun, flower, and the sentiment.
I think it's pretty great and would be fun to give to someone who needs a summer pick me up.
A fun layout using the starburst pattern and the Echo Park Paper line Sweet Girl. This paper is just so perfect of my little girl.
I love the colors of the paper and fun flowers. This photo was taken my a great friend of mine for my daughter's 2nd birthday. I think this paper was ment just for this pretty dress. :)
I love the little sticker sheets and the Cute, Lovely, and Fun was part of the paper and I just cut it apart.
Hope you enjoy and are having a GREAT National Scrapbooking weekend
