My blue eyed girl

Hey again! This is my 2nd post for the day..lucky you! :)

For my BIG giveaway post click HERE or scroll down!

 So I'm back because I couldn't wait to share this layout I finished up yesterday. I recently got the PageMaps 2 book (I have the 1st one and LOVE it!), this book has tons of inspiration, lots and lots of sketches to build layouts and cards. I definitely recomend it to anyone needing some mojo help! 

So my layout today was inspired by one of the many sketches found in the book, and because I just stocked up on some new scrappin' goodies I HAD to break 'em in! 

-My Blue Eyed Girl-

LOVE this page! One of my favies!

To start this LO I used a 12x12 piece of white cardstock, I spritz the background with blue (Patina) glimmer mist. I cut all of the squares in 2x2 pieces and rounded the corners. I embossed the blue on the left side and sanded the circles (love that effect!).  I love using those big Prima flowers on my pages, I get mine from Michaels...the brads, flair, & 'sweet' sticker (on top center)  are from the Dear Lizzy collection by American Crafts.

I actually did some journaling *patting myself on the back*..I never know what to add in my journaling so I usually don't do it, but I think I will TRY to start that way Natalie will have something to read about these photos when she is older. :)

I hope you like it, it's one of my faves! 

Supplies:

Pattern Paper-Echo Park-Spring Time

Peachy Keen Stamps-Princess Facess

Cricut carts-Baby Steps, Simply Sweet (title)

Stickers-Cosmo Cricket (H is for Happiness)

Dear Lizzy-'Sweet'

Misc.-glimmer mist, brads, flair, flowers, twine, border punch, Cuttlebug, stapler, corner punch

Today I am showcasing the 2 new face assortment sets. One is called Cute & Cuddly and let me tell you, that is exactly what there are! Super cute and super cuddly! lol..this set is perfect for bunnies, teddy bears, skunks, etc...the next is something that will enhance the face assortments you already have, it is called Accessories Assortment One, this set comes with mustaches, goatees and glasses (without the nose bars). All I can say is I LOVE the mustaches! They are soo much fun and bring even more character to your faces!

Supplies: Doodlecharms-Cricut, I-top, PP-Basic Grey

#4. Next up, I used the Accessories Assortment One set, I stamped the mustaches randomly to create my own pattern paper..love the result!! This is perfect for those 'guy' cards too.

((The sentiment is a super sneak peek of some up coming Scrappy Mom's Stamps!))

Mi Amore Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Mi Amore Blog Hop! I hope you are enjoying your Valentine's Day so far! If you are joining us in the hop, please start HERE, if you came from Lauren's blog then you are in the right spot!

Since today is THE day of love, we were asked to create any type of love themed project. So I have 2 fun cards to share with you all today! :) Hope you like 'em!

For my 1st card I experimented with some digital images from the Sweet Shoppe, I printed the little bee tag out twice and did some paper peircing, stickles, inking and pop dots. I love the end result with the big chipboard stickers and the finishing touch of twine and a few buttons...

I love the non-traditional colors in this card too! 

For my next card I was going for more of a vintage Valentine look. I got the adorable image as a freebie from Peggy Loves Vintage, printed that out and did a LOT of inking up the edges for a worn look. I found the sentiment in my stash of rub-ons and the heart is from the Simply Sweet cartridge, I inked that up and covered it in MS coarse glitter.

To finish the vintage-y feel, I had to distress my twine with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress ink. I think it turned out great! 

There you have it! I hope you like my little creations!

To celebrate this lovely day I would like to give away some blog candy to one lucky winner.

Here's what you can win:

Natalie Savanna

Natalie's bday, a baby layout, BBTB2 and winners announced!

Hi everyone! I've got a lot to share today so I hope you stick around! ;)

So yesterday was my daughter's FIRST birthday! Yep, I officially have a one year old! I can't believe it! Everyone told me that time flies by so much faster once you start having kids, and it is soo true!! I took her to go watch Tangled (she loved it and danced on the singing parts), we did a little bit of Christmas shopping and them came home and she had her 1st taste of birthday cake! Which went everywhere..even her belly button! LOL...She is such a sweet little girl and so much fun to be around! She is my little partner in crime and she just brightens my day! :) She actually just started walking a week before her bday and she is moving like crazy!

 

She looked so cute with this Panda hat on, I had to get it for her bday.

Told you..cake everywhere!

 

Natalie and daddy..

I love her! :)

I have a baby layout I made awhile ago but never got around to posting it. I thought today would be the perfect day for it. It's one of those 'blinged out' type of LO's, I wanted it to look really 'fancy' and 'pretty' compared to my usually cutesy style.

It's titled 'Queen of Daddy's Heart'

and Natalie was only 3 days old here, this was the day she came home from the hospital.

 

I really liked this one, I don't know why I waited so long to post it. The 'Queen' is welded together from the Once Upon a Princess cart and the 'of daddy's' is from Simply Sweet font cart, all of the flourishes are from the Stretch Your Imagination cart and welded to a big circle. I used printed transparencies for the corners and used eyelets to adhere them.

Since we were so busy yesterday I totally forgot to post my BBTB2 card! duh!..lol..So the challenge was to use either ornament from the Winter Frolic cart and the sentiment 'Deck the Halls'..I didn't have a lot of free time, so my card is kinda simple..but cute! ;p I used the PK Snow Cuties.

 

A little bit of stickles makes it all better! ;p

Ok, almost done here! :)

I have 2 winners to announce!

The 1st winner is for the EAD Face Stickerz, I got 46 comments and the random winner is..

Theresa from Juicy Creation 808 by Theresa!

Theresa

Woohoo! Congrats Theresa!

My 2nd winner is from the Advent Calendar Blog Hop.I got 222 wonderful comments and I'm so glad I pick the winner randomly because it would be so hard to choose a winner! You all had such sweet things to say! Thank you!  Ok, so the random winner is...

Sheryl from Sheryl's Crafting Corner !

She said..

I love that you used little images - I want to do the same - so if you post the images that would be helpful. I know I only have a couple more days to make mine- I do not have any Peachy Keen stamps and they make the images whimsical and fun.
thanks Sheryl

BBTB2-Reader's Choice-Mini Monograms

Hi everyone! *This is my 2nd post for today, scroll down to see my 1st post (E.A.D. bloghop!)..

This week over at  BBTB2, the DT was asked to use any number feature on the Mini Monograms cartridge (reader's choice) and whatdo' ya know..I don't have that cart! LOL! So I used the super cute stitched circle numbers from the Simply Sweet font cartridge.  This card is a little bit different from my usually style, but I just love the way it came out! I was going for a vintage inspired look. I just adore those old fashioned post cards!

My sweet hubby has been saving his bottle caps for me so I can do something creative with them. I guess drinking beer and scrap-booking CAN go together sometimes! LOL ;p

(if you look close enough, you can even see the Coors label, haha)

I just glued the circles to the caps and added a few gems.

I also used my woodgrain stamp for background and tore the edges a bit.

Here is one of the cute sentiments from the -A Haunting We Will Go- set by Scrappy Mom's Stamps...

That super cute vintage image was found on THIS website.

I hope you all love my vintage lookin' card and please join us in the challenge this week, we all LOVE seeing your creations!

Getting Hitched..

Hi friends! Here is another card for today...I got some inspiration for this one in a card mag.. I used the trailer from Going Places and the words and hearts from Simply Sweet. I embossed the hearts on the background paper..it didn't come out that great b/c I did it on pattern paper and it was kinda hard to tell were I had stamped, but whatever I'm still learning! lol!..I used a scallop punch for the 'curtins' which I think look adorable and did some doodling. I added a few black gems to dot the 'i's'  and for the inside of the tire. And of course I did a lil bit of inking...ok see you all soon! TFL!

Sweet Thing

Only one day left until Valentines and I managed to make a few more love cards. I just got the Simply Sweet cart in the mail the other day..I was so excited, I won it on e-bay for only 21 bucks! (woo-hoo!). I saw a card like this while surfing the web and it gave me inspiration(sorry I don't remember  where I saw it)..the heart is from Simply sweet and the mini hearts...the couple is from going places.
