Two Chicks and a Birthday Hop!

Welcome everyone! This weekend we are helping to celebrate Meighen and Nicole's Birthdays and the anniversery of both of their blogs! I'm sure you all enjoyed Shelly's wonderful project! :)

Today I am celebrating "National Whipped Cream Day" - which was on January 5th this year. I wanted to mix it up a little and do a non-traditional holiday, and I think I found one! LOL

My project is a birthday card that features the holiday's namesake - whipped cream! I used puff-paint to give the whipped cream texture, both in the bowl and on the beaters. :)

Recipe

Card base and layers - Twinkle Toes
Bowl w/spoon & hand mixer - From My Kitchen
Sentiment - Scrappy Moms Stamps - A Pinch and A Dash set
Face - PKS - Happy Lashes set
Ribbon - Michaels

Thank you so much for joining us today - I hope you enjoyed my little card. The next stop on the hop is the wonderful and creative Cathy!

If you've missed any stops along the way, you can go back to the beginning with Meighen.

Have a great day!

Better late than NEVER! Final Love Note Sneak Peek

Hello, hello! I totally forgot to put this on today - shame on me! It has been just crazy around here - my girls have both been sick, I have a sinus infection, we are doing sneaks peeks, setting up to sell Baker's Twine, my niece was in a play tonight and my hubby is now gone 2 nights a week for school. AARRGGHH!

Anyhow, here is my last Love Note sneak peek - I hope you like it!


The topper base and hearts are all cut from Lacy Labels. I was hesitent to get his cart but I have used it 3 or 4 times in the 2 weeks I had it! LOL I got the little heart treat bag from the $1 section at Target and it's filled with Hersey Kisses.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! If you haven't checked out our newest Terrific Tuesday Challenge, we'd love for you to come join us!

Howdy! I'm so glad you could join me today for my Terrific Tuesday Challenge project.

This weeks cartridge is Sweethearts - you have until Mon, Jan 31 to link your project here. Be sure to check out the other Design Team members projects - they are so adorable! :)


I love this little card! In fact, I just might be giving it to my Hubby for Valentine's day (Shhhh - don't tell). I used Lacy Labels for the shape cut, Stickles on the little key and the large dots embossing folder from Sizzix. :)

I hope you enjoyed my card - thank you so much for visiting!

Love Notes - Sneak Peek #2

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! :)

Here's another Valantine's day card made with our new Scrappy Moms Stamps Love Notes set...


The card base is from Birthday Bash - it's hard to tell but the red edge of the card is actually the back. The striped paper is actually the front of the card and is about a quarter inch smaller on sides. I played around with the shape in my Gypsy - I wanted it to fit an A2 envelope and the original shape is only about 3" wide with that height. So I widend it till it was just about 4" wide. The little people are from Car Decals - which just came in the mail today! Can you tell I was waiting for it?! LOL

This is actually the second version of this card. I originally made the my little man blue - but he really didn't "blend in" well with the other colors. I tried to do two reds but the lightest red I had was still to similar too the darker color. So he wound up white and red instead. What to see the original blue man? LOL Here he is....


Thank you for taking the time to stop by today - be sure to visit the other Scrappy Moms Design Team members for more sneak peeks! :)

Sneak Peek - Love Notes! :)

Hi, everyone! Thank you for stopping by today! I am so happy to show you my 1st sneak peek from the new Scrappy Moms Stamps Love Notes stamp set.


This is the adorable skunk from Create A Critter - I just love him! The only thing is that I wanted him to be black and white and he is NOT designed for these colors - LOL If I had cut all three layers his eyes would have been black just like his body so I only cut two layers and added little jems for his eye. I also wanted to use a Wobble and make him a "bobble-head". So I cut the head a second time and cut off the ears and hair on the bottom layer so you can't see them when his head moves. Here's a quick little video with him in action....



Thank you so much for visiting me today - I hope you enjoyed my little guy! Check back often I'm going to try to have at least 3 more projects for you this week. :)

{{{ HUGS }}} and Kisses!

My FIRST Video! :)

Hello, everyone! I got a Bloggie camera for Christmas and am finally getting around to trying my hand with a video. I have a small tripod and a HUGE tripod but I think that I need to see if I can one right in the middle. LOL This one is a little too close to get a nice focus but I couldn't figure out how to set up the big one so that it wasn't too far away to get good focus on small details! ARRGGHH!

I have a new mission now.... find the perfect tripod.... find the perfect tripod! But in the meantime here is a quick demo of the Fiskar's Ink that I mentioned here. Let me know what you think, and if anyone has any words of advice about making video I'd LOVE to hear it!

*** The music you hear is from the Playlist at the bottom of my blog page. You can scroll down and click off the sound or pause the song if you just want to hear the video. ***



Thanks for waching! {{{ HUGS }}}
