He's so cute!

Hello Crafters,
I have a funny story before I show you my card tonight. Actually, it is a funny story about how this card came to be! My friend was over the other day and asked if I could make a birthday card for her to give. She wanted a Winnie the Pooh on it. My response was I don't have a cartridge with Winnie the Pooh. I started to look through my cartridges saying things like "I wonder if my Mickey and Friends cartridge would have a Pooh on it?" "Pooh is a Disney character right?" Then all at once I saw it....the Winnie the Pooh cartridge I bought opening weekend at my local Michael's in October. I bought it along with all the other Disney cartridges I own for $19.99! And yup I have NEVER used it...actually forgot I even owned it lol. The really funny part is now that I am typing this I even remember my other friend using this cartridge of mine to make a bunch of stuff for her baby's room not that long ago!
Needless to say I then got crafting and created this card.....
Please say something like this has happened to you too!?

Dad's Birthday Card

Hello Everyone,
Yesterday was my dad's birthday and I just had to show you the card that I created for him. It was so super easy and I just love how it turned out. I may need to make a few more of these just to have in my stash! I used a freebie digital stamp from The Sherlocks Home and as you will see below there was very min. colouring and the sentiment for the outside and the inside were included in the freebie with the picture. How much better can it get!?

Birthday Sundaes Challenge # 6

Hello Crafters,
It's Sunday and you know what that means...a new challenge over on Birthday Sundaes. This week it is a challenge for sure, it's a Special Birthday Challenge! You must a create birthday gift packaging, party favor, invitation, cupcake toppers/wrappers, banners, treat boxes, etc.

I have never made a banner before and decided to make one for a friend's little girl who was turning two this weekend. All in all the banner was super easy to make (a little time consuming but fun). Taking pictures of it was a whole other story however. It was a nightmare! I used a ton of glitter which my camera hates, the entire thing was the length of a wall and really high when we hung it and to top it all off the lighting was terrible. But I did what I could and I think I took enough to give you a good idea. I am glad I took some before we hung it! Although, like I said my camera hates glitter so I couldn't use the flash. All the details will be listed below the picture.
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm getting published!

Hi everyone, I am so super excited to share that I am getting one of my cards published in an upcoming issue (June to be exact) of Ginger Scrap Street Magazine. Click here to be taken a page where you can find the to the current edition of Ginger Scrap Street and the sister magazine Scrap Street . How cool is that?! All I will share for now about the feature is that it was a western card...other then that you will just have to wait until June to check it out! Be sure to subscribe to the magazine to get an emailed link to the new issue each month. The last page of the magazine is where you can sign up for this. Oh and once you click on a section (for example the cover article) you can then scroll down and you can flip page by page instead of  going back and heading to each section. This is what I did at first and missed numerous pages until I figured it out. I am sure you are all way too smart to do something silly like that though lol.

Somebunny Special

Happy Good Friday Everyone,
Sorry I have been lost this week but I have been crafting all day today and have some great projects to show you really soon! One card I made today was using my new Prisma coloured pencils. I got a great deal on them I was told. I got a pack of 70 pencils for 16.99 + tax. The tag said they were regular $34.99 and well when I see a great deal I grab it :) I actually went back the next day and got a second set lol. After using this brand I don't think I can ever go back to regular coloured pencils again! The image on my card is a free digital image from Sliekje Digi Stamps If you have never checked out this site you are in for a treat!
