Fairy Godmother

Hello! Here is another Disney layout that I made recently. I am determined to finish scrapbooking all of my Disney photos before I go to Alaska in August (I'm not sure if its a realistic goal or not...lol).  This layout is from a sketch from the blog 52 Sketches 52 Weeks. My layout features sketch #19.  Go check them out, there are fabulous sketches and awesome prizes each week.  I used dp by Imaginesce for my layout, along with my new favorite toy, my Cricut machine.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

Color Fun

Hi! Wow I can't believe I've let so much time go by! April passed in a blur and I can hardly believe its already May (although the weather certainly doesn't feel very May-like here!).  I have actually been doing a lot of scrapbooking lately, and to get me in the groove I am taking an online Color course from the website "Got Crafts?"  Our first challenge was issued last night and here is the layout I made.  I used photos from my recent Disney trip. We were in Downtown Disney on this night, and although it was a crummy day with rain, the sunset happened to be beautiful!  Hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by!

Bird Houses

These are the favors that Christine and I made for her and my brother's engagement party.  I found the template for the birdhouses on Nichole Heady's blog.  The roof and the base are made with  scallop nesties.  All dsp is from SU!.  We made 40 of these birdhouses, and at the end of the party only 6 were left! Our guests loved them, and they were the perfect favor to complement our spring theme.

We purchased the tree branches, and buckets at G and G (a florist outlet store), and filled the buckets with sand, and then covered the sand with some river rocks.

Hope you enjoy seeing our favors!

Happy Easter!

Did you realize Easter is only 1 and 1/2 weeks away?! Granted, I'll be in Disney World that day, but I still needed to get some cards made to send out.  I made this card this evening following Sketch Challenge #222 on Splitcoast.  I used a Gingersnap set called "Spring Things!" by CC Designs.  I stamped the fence, colored it in, and stamped the girl and bunny on separate paper.  I colored them and cut them out to lay on top of the fence.  I used Prismacolor pencils and Mineral Spirits to color all of the images.  There is a light blue sky on my fence panel, but it doesn't show up very well.  I used dsp paper called "Flock Together" from SU!, along with some G and G ribbon and a CTMH sentiment.  Her bunny ears are covered in glitter for that extra touch! :) I stitched around the bottom layer and the image layer too.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lovey Dovey Birdies

Good evening! We just got home from my brother's engagement party which was today.  I thought I'd share another card I made for them, featuring some brand new SU! products.  I used the stamp set "Great Friend" along with the matching dsp "Walk in the Park" and the new rub-ons.  Whew, what a list!  I stamped the butterfly from the set 3 times, and then cut each out and layered them on top of a piece of baja breeze, stamped with the frame and the leaves.  The love sentiment and birds are from the rub-on sheet.  I machine stitched around the bottom layer.  This card also follows the Mojo Monday #78 sketch from last week (I've become a little bit behind on these!).  

That's all for this evening, I will share the adorable favors we made for the party sometime this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Some Love and Happiness

We've been planning for the past 2 months for my brother's engagement party, which is finally tomorrow! I made this card this morning for him and his fiance to go along with my gift.  I bought them these adorable plates and bowls from Pottery Barn with a fruit pattern (shhh...I bought them for myself too!).  

This card follows Taylor's Cupcake Challenge for this week (TECC61).  I featured this adorable Bittybloom by Stamping Bella, who was colored and paper pieced.  I used my new Nesties that I just received in the mail yesterday to cut her out.  The dp is by Stampin Up! called "Sweet Always".  The sentiment is also SU!.  I used a new EK Success border punch for the scallopy scallop border.

Thanks for stopping by! I am off to make one more card for tomorrow for my Mom to give.

Mr. Bunny

Hello out there! I know it's been awhile, but unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way of stamping! I made this card for the TECC60 challenge on Taylor's blog.  I received my new spring mini catalog pre-order, and this adorable bunny was one of the stamps I ordered.  He is from the set "An Egg-cellent Easter".  The bunny was colored with Copics, and cut out with nesties.  I added some machine stitching around the bottom layer.  The dsp is an oldie from SU! called "Sarah".  My sentiment was stamped and then punched out with the word window punch, I used some linen thread to attach it to the ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today!
