Ava Softball Birthday Card

Hello and Happy Hump Day! Just a little reminder about the current challenge at Catch the Bug.  It's a Bingo card you can see HERE.

I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamps Ava Baseball on my Bean's Birthday card!  She's 10 years old this year, and she's a little softball player.  These aren't her team colors, but blue is her favorite color so that's what I went with.  My Bingo is Sparkle/Stitching/Sentiment.  The banner has the sparkle/glitter.  The numbers are from Cricut cart Opposites Attract.  So you still have time to join in!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

This meets the following challenges: Crafty Sentiments: Anything Goes,  Through the Craft Room Door: Always Anything Goes, Tuesday Throwdown: Anything Goes, and Always Fun Challenges: Anything Goes.

I'm featuring Pumpkin from Bugaboo Stamps, sentiment is Cricut cart Opposites Attract cut at 1 1/4".

Polar Bear Tag

Hello and hope you're having a great weekend!

BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

And yes, it sure has been! For my tag, I'm using Polar Bear from Bugaboo Stamps:

The tag is cut from the George Cricut cart at 4.5" (on regular and shadow), and the "JOY" is from Opposites Attract at 1" covered with glaze. I added sewing and fuzzy ribbon as well. I hope you'll click on the pic for an up-close (I like how this simple little tag turned out).

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend! Oh, and don't forget to join us this week at Catch the Bug!

Door Letter Frame

Hello all and Happy Monday. Hope you had a great weekend! Today at Catch the Bug is my turn to feature an ABC (Anything But a Card) project!

Today I'm sharing a little sign I made for Bean's door. I've seen these initial frames and thought I'd give it a go.

This is made from a cereal box and measures approximately 6" by 6". I cut the bottom square and covered it with Bugaboo Digipapers - Polkadot Flowers. Then I cut the top square to the same size and gave it a little under a 1" border and covered it with plain white CS. There are pop dots between the two layers.

The lovely Ladybug Vase is colored with Copics and also has glaze. The "L" is Cricut Cart Opposites Attract at 3 1/2" on regular and shadow, and I sewed along the middle of the letter just for fun. Again, more pop dots so there's lots on dimension on this!

Hope you like my ABC today and thanks so much for stopping by!

Wonder Woman Birthday

Hello all and Happy Thursday. Today I want to share with you the card I made for my brother's upcoming birthday. He LOVES Wonder Woman...but really, let's just admit that Lynda Carter is one hot lady!

I hope you can see the glittery and glossy goodness in this pic! I just added a few things here and there. So next week we will celebrate with enchiladas and cake and I hope he LOVES his card! Thanks for the visit!

Wassup?

Hello and welcome to OBG (Oldie But Goodie) - a Thursday feature at Catch The Bug! That's when the DT shows off some of the older, but still loved images.

Of course I love the Rottweiler Puppies since Big Jack is half rottie. So big and clumsy yet loving and affectionate.

Super simple layout! My pup is colored with Copics and Prismas, Ranger Inks for shading, sentiment is Opposites Attract Cricut Cart cut at 1" (regular and shadow), sewing, and glaze.

Close up of glaze-y goodness...plus, I just think he's super adorable.

Toilet Paper Roll Tag Book

Hello all and Happy Thursday. We woke up to lots of rain...and no umbrella, and old windshield wipers. Well, it doesn't get wet here much, so we're basically unprepared!

I've got a few pics to share today, so I'm going to try to keep the text to a minimum.

I've seen these toilet paper roll tag books around for awhile and thought I'd give it a go. Well, I've been making most of my Christmas gifts this year, and I thought this would be perfect for a special someone:

All DP is Cosmo Cricket. The letter is from Cindy Loo Cricut cart at 1 3/4". Fiskars border punch.

First turn has "love" from Opposites Attract at 1 1/2", butterflies and flower from punch, Quote box is from a set I've had for forever.

Second turn has Stampin' Up's Trendy Trees on one side and ruffled ribbon sewn on.

Final turn features Martha Stewarts button punch, threaded. Another journaling area.

The tags are made from upcycled manila folders, and ribbon is stapled in place. I didn't embellish the tags, so that plenty of pictures and journaling can be added.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a GREAT day!

HB2U

Hello all and happy Wednesday. This month my little cousins both celebrate their birthdays. Of course one is in his mid 20's and the other in her early 30's, but they are still "little" to me.

Here is the card I made for Sarah. I really enjoyed coloring all these cupcakes and I added lots of glaze.

The DP is DCWV Nana's Kids, image is Bugaboo (I got lots of goodies with the 50% off sale they're having), sewing, and Opposites Attract Cricut cart for the sentiment (1" for HBU and 1.5" for the 2).

Can you see the shiny goodness? The layout is Splitcoaststampers SC306. It's a great sketch that I'm thinking of using for some Christmas cards. I have so much to catch up on! I'm also entering this in Cute Card Thursday's Anything Goes challenge #138 and Tuesday Morning Sketches Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes challenge #68.

Well, thank you for stopping by and have a great day. Stay warm!
