MPS Pinkalicious Blog Hop (March)

My Pink Stamper's March Pinkalicious Blog hop theme was something for Spring.  I had to make a birthday card for my son's best friend.  She LOVES frogs so I thought I would make it pink and springish!  I thought it turned out super cute!!

I used Create A Critter cartridge for the frog and lily pad.  I used pink tulle (my new favorite after watching one of Robyn's DVDs). I added Diamond Dust to the rose for some bling.  Then I added stickles to the frog's cheeks for some more bling.  (A girl can never have too much BLING) The sentiment is from Robyn's Punny-licious stamp set.

Stickles & Tulle, I LOVE IT!! :)

Christmas Lights Scrapbook Page

Well, on day 2 of being snowed in, I decided to catch up on some scrapbooking.  


I took a tip from Robyn's My Pink Stamper Cricut Layouts DVD and cut and glittered the string of Christmas lights from the Create A Critter cartridge.  Thanks, Robyn, I LOVE that DVD!  I cut the title from the Mickey Font cartridge.

I LOVE how these pages turned out!

My Pink Stamper Design Team 2011 Challenge

It's time for My Pink Stamper Design Team submissions.  This time Robyn made it a challenge!  
The challenge: Make a card, scrapbook page, or other cricut project with your favorite cartridge using Robyn's favorite colors...Pink, Green, and Brown.


Here are the supplies I used for my card:

I loaned my Accent Essentials and Create A Critter cartridges to a friend but luckily I had linked them to my Gypsy! 

Recipe:


Pink and Brown cardstock from Michaels
Patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Sweet Pea stack from Hobby Lobby
Celebrate It Sheer Creations ribbon from Michaels
My Pink Stamper Even More Punny-licious stamp set
Create A Critter cartridge
Accent Essentials cartridge


I cut the brown accent from the Accent Essentials cartridge at 3.75"
I cut the elephant from the Create A Critter cartridge at 2.75"


The card base is 5.5" wide x 4.25" high, a typical A2 sized card.


I hope everyone likes my card.  Feel free to leave me a comment.  Good luck to everyone that has entered Robyn's challenge!

"Hippo-ka-bob-a-bus" Scrapbook Page

My last scrapbook page of the holiday weekend was a special one.

Last week my son (3 1/2) learned how to say "hippopotamus" but instead of saying it correctly, he said "Hippo-ka-bob-a-bus"!  It is so adorable!

I had some of those recordable devices for scrapbook pages, so I recorded him.  Then I took a picture of him heading off to school the next morning.  This is a page I will cherish for ever, and my son will probably kill me when he turns 16.  LOL!

Cartridges used: Create A Critter and Keystone

Get Well Soon!

I made this card for a friend that just had surgery.  Her entire family is involved in the rodeo, so I new she would love this horse!  I cut the horse from the Create A Critter cartridge and the yellow background was cut from the Accent Essentials cartridge.  I can't remember the exact size of the card (I made it in May), but it fit in a business size envelope.  I made it long in order to place a gift certificate inside.  She LOVED it, along with the gift certificate! =)

MPS's NSD Challenge #12

For this challenge, I was to make a scrapbook page, card, or other project using an animal or critter.
I decided to make a card for someone I know that is going through a tough time. We all need a little pick-me-up sometimes, right? I cut the adorable bird from the Create A Critter cricut cartridge. I used some primas I had instead of the flower that is cut with the bird, and I put a little bling in the middle of the flower. =)
