I have a funny story about the card. My daughter wanted to make cookies so she could put sprinkles on top. So I told her, lets make a card & put glitter on top. So I had to glitter around the frame for my daughter. She is 3 1/2 and has already taken over my crafting table. Yesterday I had to move to a different table to work on my projects.

I am so excited....I will be a guest designer for Crafting with Cristina in February. 

So look for more projects to come.

My Pink Stamper - Blog Hop

My Pink Stamper

Blog Hop

This blog hop begins at My Pink Stamper. 

If you are coming from Craft Junkie Too, then you are in the right place.

I am so excited to be on the My Pink Stamper Design Team. I just wanted to share a bit about myself before I share my project with you. My name is Angela. I have been married to my amazing husband for 6 years and we have 2 little princess'. My oldest loves making cards and crafting with me. I have my own Simple Creations business where I sell my handmade cards and other creations to local people I know. I recently sold some of my creations to a local boutique. I co-lead a scrapbooking group that meets once a month. My husband and I are Assistant Pastors at our church. I run our cafe for our young adult community. So I am already living out many of my dreams. Being on this design team is one of them.

I hope you enjoy this mail box and cute little valentine I made to go along with it.

The Mail Box was cut from Love Struck 2010 Cartridge at 11.5". I covered it with a pattern paper & attached the flag with a brad. Be sure to cover it & attach the brad before gluing together.

The card was also cut from Love Struck 2010 Cartridge.  I welded 2 hearts together on my gypsy at 3" each to create the white base of the card. The blackout & top layer of the card are from the 6th button on Love Struck 2010 Cartridge. I glued those together & popped it up to add some dimension.  The butterfly's are the base of button 5 on Live Simply Cartridge. They are cut at .5" each. I bent the wings up & used stickles on the torso. The sentiment, Something Special is from My Pink Stamper's Family & Friend's Stamp Set. Of all the stamps sets I have I use this one the most. This card turned out really small but I made it to fit inside the mail box. It is a beautiful card that can be made larger & given to someone to tell them how special they are.

From here hop to Kassidy's Blog. If you would like to join in our blog hop, start at the beginning & write down the key words from each blog to find out what the challenge is. There are 2 key words you will want to write down from my blog: MAKE A.

Winter Warmies FCCB Challenge #42

Winter Warmies FCCB Challenge #42

Use some type of winter clothing/accessory on the project. At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to make & then I thought of this cute little beaver with the scarf. Then I wanted to make a card using the Smiley Cards. So this is what I designed.

The card base is from Smiley Cards. The outside layer is cut at 3.5" & the inside layer is cut at 3.25". Then I cut the tab off the inside layer. The patterned background was cut with Plantin SchoolBook at 4". I am not sure what size the blue layer to write on was. The beaver was cut from Winter Frolic at 2". Then I inked it & made details with a glitter gel pen. The Sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink -Daily Designs Sentiments. I hope you enjoyed this unique card design.
Join us at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB) and post your own Winter Warmie. Just include at least one Cricut cut & use some type of winter clothing or accessory on your project.

Pink Designer

Design Team

I am so excited to announce that I am a PINK DESIGNER! I had so much fun meeting and helping Robyn aka My Pink Stamper with her workshop at CHA this past summer. She inspires so many to create. She has her own DVD's and Stamps that are amazing quality. You can check out her products HERE. I look forward to creating more Simple Creations with MPS products.
Robyn actually hand picked me to be on her design team. I am so honored! I was in shock when she sent me an email asking if I would like to. I know that this year is going to be a year of alot of dreams come true. I look forward to what is ahead.
If you submitted a project for this Design Team, please don't be discouraged but keep creating & developing your talent. I tried out for many design teams, putting alot of work into it & was so disapointed when I didn't make it. But just keep trying!

On another note:

I went to Michael's today & they have Cricut Carts on sale for $9.99. They are older ones that they need to get rid of so they can make room for new ones. I got Sweet Treats. Defiantly worth checking out.

Fresh Brewed Challenge #29

 Fresh Brewed Challenge #29

This is my first card I have made with Copic Markers. I just got them for Christmas & have played around with them a little. I purchased a few Digi Stamps from Fresh Brewed Designs & wanted to give this challenge a shot.

This is the sketch for this challenge.

I used Fresh Brewed Designs-Christmas Angel Cake, Copic Ciao Markers, Star Dust Stickles (on the wings and hair), Glossy Accents (on the shoes), PaperTrey Ink - Signature Christmas Stamp, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder by Provo Craft.

These are the following markers I used.

Skin- E51, YR00

Blush- RV42

Dress- RV21, RV 34

Hair- E51, E33

Wings- RV42, Colorless Blender

Leaves- G94

Berries- R46

Since I am just staring to use Copic Markers I quickly realized how important the paper is. What paper do you use? I bought a special marker sketch pad at Hobby Lobby but even that bleeds bad. I just ordered Neenah paper but haven't tried it yet. What paper do you prefer?
