Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge

This week at Getting Cricky, the challenge is "Wedding Bells are Ringing". We are to make a project for a Wedding, Engagement, or Anniversary. I just LOVE this theme. I'm all about LOVE! LOL. This is actually my second item I made for the challenge. I didn't like my first project I made. It was two heart bags from the TBBM cart. The bag was NOT what I expected, but I absolutely LOVE that cartridge. I actually can't wait to get TBBM 2! It just came out. 

Anywho...onto my project. I decided to make a tag using TBBM. I cut it at 5.25. The sentiment on the stamp is from K. Andrew. Her stamps are wonderful and so versatile. The "Bottom's Up" sentiment is from "Pirate Tales and Fish Scales-Sentiments". LOVE that name! It's so cute. :) You can click here to purchase this set and also to check out all of her other amazing stamps! 








Thank you for visiting! Don't forget to go and check out all of the other great projects from K. Andrew's Design Team!!!

Gift Card Holder

I made this gift card holder for a co-worker who is due to have a baby girl next month. We are having a special lunch for her and I thought I'd throw something quick together to give her at the luncheon.  The stamp and gift card die used can be found here. I used Nursery Tails for the bib and Sugar and Spice for the teddy bear. I think this turned out really cute! Hope you all enjoyed as well.

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge

Hi Everyone!!! Today is the Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky. This is my first post as a Jr. Design Team Member and I'm so excited!! Kristal is wonderful and so caring and her stamps are marvelous! The theme for this weeks challenge was to create a holiday decoration. Well, I don't celebrate holidays. Religous reasons. :) But, I didn't want to let my team down, so I did create some party favors for a baby shower.




The baggies are from Wilton.
Kraft Paper is from Recollections
The scallop is cut from the Theresa Collins Baby Boutique Imagine Cart
LOVE IT!!!
I also used the snowflake Cuttlebug folder for the embossing. I also
inked around the scallop for dimension.

The sentiment "soo...YUM" was used from the Coffee & Tea Treats stamp set by K. Andrew. To order this set and to check out all of her other great stamps, click here!


 Thanks for stopping by and taking a gander. (LOL Love that word.).
 Don't forget to visit the rest of the Design Team to see what wonderful
 creations they have created.

Scalley Wag!

Ok, who knew scalley wag was a pirate term?! Not me! But I love it! I know I've called some people that name in my day. LOL I just got the Bucaneer Imagine Cart tonight. I knew I wanted to do something with it, but didn't know what. I just threw this together real quick and I guess it's ok. My hubby likes it. :)

He's a mean fishy, scally wag!

He's so mad!!! LOL

I popped up the layers that were available for the fish.
 It gives the fish some dimension.

I also inked all of the edges of the fish layers in black.
I printed 2 squares in 2 different patterns that are on the cart. The card
base is craft paper and inked with Chocolate Studio G ink.

Hope you enjoyed!!!  Don't forget to comment and become a follower. I will return the favor.
