Party Time Tuesday #7

It's Tuesday! And we know that means Birthday card for Party Time Tuesdays! Today is an anything goes challenge. So, easy to do, right? You know you have someone with a birthday coming up, so lets get the party started for them, and make them a card!

This cute cherry birthdaycard features a CC Designs stamp. I can't believe I haven't made a card with her yet. I mean, really, how cute is she? I had grabbed this cherry bling from Michaels, and thought it would go perfect with her cherry shirt. The red is a bit bright for my papers, but it's so cute, who would mind getting bling cherries?! I made the sentiment on the computer. I love that Tammi does that all the time, so I've had to branch out a little and try it too.

Be sure to check the Party Time Tuesdays Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with, or feel free to click on their blogs listed to the right.

We'd love for you to play along! Just make a card, put that birthday sentiment on the front, and link it up to the Party Time Tuesday blog so we can come see what you made!

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies: Basic Grey Lemonade, SU cardstock, Martha punch, copics, stickles.

Gotta Love Summer.

It's nice not to have to run some where during the day. The kids have played legos all day. And I had some quiet time to stamp. When I pulled out my Belle's and Whistle stamps the other day, saw this cutie sitting there begging to get inked up. Even better that they had a fun sketch challenge up today! Than I found these flower brads from ages ago and they matched my color combo perfectly! So, got to use some negleted stash too! I used my Cricut to cut out the hearts.

Took part in a few other challenges today too.

Strange question for you all. I found a tick on Maxwell, the dog, the other day. I think I got all of it. But he seems to be having a reaction to the bite. Can dogs get sick from a tick bite? If it looks strange still Monday I'm taking him to the vet. He's acting alright, but there's a big red spot on his stomach from the bite. Wasn't sure how normal that was.

Fluttering Mojo.

My AC broke. Right smack in the middle of a heat wave in the Mid-Atlantic area. My house was 93 degrees! Icky! Lucky for me, we had a portable ac unit in the bonus room, so I took it to my room, which cooled it off. Than my neighbor lent me his portable unit. But the house has been hot for two days. My cats were melting. Maxwell, the doggie, hung out with neighbors because it was too hot for him. I wanted to stamp like crazy, but the bonus room was too hot. So, I grabbed my copics, and some images sent to me by friends, and colored. Today, the repair guy came, and fixed it! And it didn't break the bank! Woo hoo! So, it's not steaming in my house any more.

Meant, I got to my desk which is in the bonus room, and was able to put the image I colored onto a card. This sweet bear was sent to me by Tammi. Thanks, Tammi! He's darling! I had grabbed this paper pack at AC Moore by DCWV. Such pretty paper. Called Mariposa. It's filled with butterflies, glitter, and pretty colors. I grabbed the smallest pack size.

This card is for a few challenges.

Party Time Tuesday #6

Ready to party?! Who do you know who you need to make a birthday card for this month? Or do you just need to build up your stash of birthday cards?

Today at Party Time Tuesdays we have a challenge for you all. Outside In. Even better reason to play along today! I pulled out my cute CC Design Fairy stamps. I thought they'd go perfectly inside the card for decoration, and used one of the neglected images for the front of the card. I don't normally do the insides of my cards, so I had to put some thought into what I wanted to do. That set of stamps was perfect for me, because of all different posing with the fairies. I even used some of my neglected stash of Basic Grey Sultry papers. The floral page is so pretty, so it went nicely behind the bird house, and since its so dramatic, the outside looked so pretty on it's own.

For the inside, I cut my cute fairies out, and placed them around my sentiment. I paper pieced both their outfits with scraps leftover from different sheets. I love how both of them turned out! I mean look at his jacket?! How adorable is that? I think it's freaking cute!

I topped them off with stickles, and added pretty pearls around my sentiment inside. All images are colored with copics.

Make sure you click on the links to the right, or click on the Party Time Tuesdays link to see what the other design team members did for the challenge. Great way to get some inspiriation for the challenge! Be sure to join in the party, and link your card back up to the Party Time Tuesday Blog so we can pop by and see what you make. As always make sure you add that birthday sentiment to the front of the card to be considered for the top three.

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies: CC Designs, SU It's Your Birthday, PTI cardstock, SU cardstock, nesties, copics, stickles, Martha punch, Basic Grey paper.

Pile It On #26 My Favorites.

This was a fun one for me this week! For starts, Gabi is my very favorite little girl in the world! I can't express how proud, happy, blessed, and in love I am with this little girl. She's my first born. My blue eyed beauty! I wanted a girl so badly when I was pregnant with her, and we didn't know what we were having. God gave me more than I could hope for in her! But not only is this my favorite girl, I get to show her off with my favorite hobby!

Scrapping is a passion of mine. I love being able to show my kids their childhood. I'm adopted, and there aren't photos of me under the age of the 5. So, having their childhood laid out for them in pictures is one of my favorite things to do for them. I love to sit down and play with papers and their photos.

We had a wonderful sponsor this week, Queen Scraps, who sent us a lovely scrapbook kit. I loved my kit, which was the Making Memories Flutter Kit. It came with lovely papers, die cut flowers, a bunch of cut out letters, double sided ribbon, stickers, felt flower and leaves, buttons. And even had layout idea, with complete cutting instructions. I didn't use her sketch, because I had more photos to add to my page. I hope she'll be pleased with how I showed cased her kit. I also made two cards using scraps from the papers I cut for the scrapbook page. You can view those cards HERE and HERE.

Here's my challenges for my page.

A Warm Magnolia.

How sweet is this little lady?! Another stamp I've acquired and neglected! She's such a sweet little thing. Showing off that lovely paper kit from Queen Scraps again. She's the sponsor for Pile It On this coming Sunday. I had some left over paper from my scrapbook page, and wanted to show off how pretty this kit was. Mine was the Making Memories Flutter Kit. I loved the colors in this paper kit! Isn't it just perfect for girly cards?! You have so many fun color options. I must say, Queen Scraps is a very cool product for scrappers. She's done a lot of the guess work for you, and put it all together along with directions to a sketch.

You can see the pearly part of the flower sheet on this photo. The glitter stripe is showing up nicely too. The ribbon is double sided. I followed the sketch over at Just Magnolia this week. I forgot to run the ribbon thru the image oval nestie.

I added smooch to the blue part of her dress, and to the prima flowers. I topped her hair off with stickles. I colored her with copics. Cut her out and popped her out.
