Timeless Twine Design Team Day :)

Hello Everyone, this is post number two for the day, I will have a total of three posts on my blog today. It's my turn to post over at the Timeless Twine Blog :)

 I am going to be sharing a fun little notepad  with coordinating twine pen for my creation today.

I used the super yummy "Chocolate Chip" bakers twine, for the inside binding of my notepad and my twine-tastic pen!

Twine isn't just for cards anymore, there are so many fabulous possibilities for this yummy string. Cards are definitely my #1 passion, but I love when I can create things other than cards, so  I am making it my personal goal to do more 3d creations and gift giving items.

I Hope you all enjoyed my fun little notepad and pen, thank you all for stopping by!

FUN Birthday Wishes & PPPR Files!

Hello Everyone, It's my day to post over at PPPR!! This is my first post on my blog today, check back at 8:00am to see my Some Odd Girl creation.

 I have recently been selling my creations at my place of work and my customers have been requesting birthday cards, so for this card, that's what I focused on.

Well I have one down in the books, now I just have a bunch more to create lol.

I used the adorable Juggling Clown Cutting Files, you can find him in the $0.99 section of the store.

I used the print and cut feature in my Silhouette Studio designer, to cut out this adorable little guy. I decided to add some shading/shadowing to his face using my IG1 Spectrum Noir marker. I wanted to add more dimension to him, so I added some homemade enamel dots, for his juggling ( Thanks for the idea Lisa) :) I also added some glossy accents to his nose and popped up and layered some elements on him.

I have been hoarding these big metal letters for awhile now and thought this card would be perfect for them. My sentiment is from Scrappy Mom Stamps and is called, Simple Sentiments. I finished it up by adding some ribbon, Lemonade Yellow, Timeless Twine and a button from my stash.

I hope you all enjoy my fun birthday card and thank you for stopping by!!

Hugs

YNS: Fun Friday: Heard you're egg-specting

Hello Everyone, TGIF :) I hope everyone is finally getting to experience some nice weather? We reached 69 degrees on Wednesday and my little boy and I spent all day outside, I got sunburn, don't worry I needed the color. Any-who, let's get on with my card. I used the adorable digi stamp "Chirpy", which is available over in the digi section of the YNS Store.

There are so many different ways you can go with this image. I figured though since there was a bow around the egg to go with a baby theme. I colored my image using my Spectrum Noirs:
Chick: LY1, LY2, LY3, PP1, OR1, OR3
Egg: BT1, BT3, BT4, BG1, BG3
Bow: PP1, PP3, PP4
After I got everything all colored up, I added some glossy accents to my chick's eyes and the spots on the egg.
Sentiment: Sugar Pea Designs: Tweet Friend
Papers: American Crafts: Dear Lizzy, Neapolitan & DCWV: Black
Ribbon: Offray brand
Brad: My Minds Eye
The rest of the embellishments are from my hoard.

 For my card, I used the photo of inspiration provided by YNS

I didn't necessarily go with the color theme but because the photo was of eggs I thought this image fit into this photo perfectly.
Before I let you all go, be sure to head on over to the YNS Blog to play along in this months challenge, we always love seeing what everyone creates.
Hope to see you all join in have a great day and be sure to stop by my blog tomorrow for the PPPR Baby Shower Blog Hop!

Hello everyone, this is my second of four post for the day, to see my first post click HERE. My third post will be going live at 8:00am CTS and then 4th at 11:00am CTS.

Lets get on with my post for PPPR:)

 I am so excited to be kick-starting our new posting schedule over on the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons blog! What does this mean you may ask, well this means that you will be seeing a "NEW" project on the blog everyday from all the design team members of PPPR. Okay, now I can share my "down on the farm" creation with you :)

I will be giving this card to someone very special in June :)

Files used:

Side Step Card Cutting Files

Farm Critters Cutting Files

On The Farm Cutting Files

This card was SO fun putting together, I just love creating sweet little scenes, Lisa has such great files to do this with! This card took a little bit of time from start to finish, however. I used just the cut feature on my Silhouette to cut out each layer of each element and then had to piece them together, but as you can see the outcome is well worth it. 

Hope you all enjoy! 

Also be sure to head to the PPPR Store and check out all the fabulous files and don't forget to grab you Friday Freebie while you are there shopping. 

Bunny Photo Props Cutting Files, it's only available until Thursday 12:00 am CST and then a new one will takes it's place and this will go to $0.99 in the store. 

Thanks Again
