Get Well Pirate Card

My grandmother had cataracts removed this week.  Her and I are very close, but not near as close as her and my son.  I love that she is well enough to establish such a wonderful relationship with him!


I came home and told him that "Double G" (he calls her that for Great-Grandma) had to wear a patch over her eye for a couple of days.  He's loving pirates right now, so he thought this was really cool!  I thought I would make her a pirate card and have him give it to her.

I used 3 Birds on Parade cartridge, and cut the pirate bird at 4 1/4".  I then added stickles to his little bit of hair.  She LOVED it and my son thought it was awesome!  It brought a smile on her face, so mission accomplished!

"Turtley Awesome" Card

A co-worker asked me to make a card for her son's kindergarten teacher.  Her son LOVES turtles so I went in search a cute turtle that would look kindergarten-ish.

I cut the turtle from the Paisley cartridge, but I don't remember what size (I cut it in May).  Instead of cutting the cute cheeks and cherries, I used my stickles for add some "bling".  I then added the sentiments from on of My Pink Stamper stamp sets.  My co-worker LOVED it and I hope the teacher did, too.

MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenge #1

Robyn, My Pink Stamper, issued this challenge for National Scrapbook Day:
Challenge #1 - Anything Cupcake!!!Scrapbook Page, Card, Mixed Media, or other!  You do not have to make cupcakes!! NO TIME, next challenge begins in an hour!!
I decided to make a BRIGHT and cheerful birthday card.  I cut the cupcake from Sweet Treats at 4".  I added Stickles for some bling.  I used "Happy Birthday" from My Pink Stamper stamp set.  I think it turned out adorable!

Monster Truck Treat Bags

Today my little boy turns 4! =(  Where does the time go??  For his BIG birthday party this weekend, I made each child a "MONSTER" style treat bag.  My son's favorite colors are yellow, red, and blue.  I used yellow and red colored bags and cut the monster trucks in purple and green - the same colors of this favorite truck.  Then we STUFFED them!  The kiddos loved them!

I cut the trucks at 3" from the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge (one of my favorites).  I ran the truck bodies through the cuttlebug to add some distress to them.  Then we used silver stickles to add some bling. =)


Now on to Easter projects! 

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!! :)

Deepest Sympathy Card

I made this sympathy card for the same co-worker as the football valentine.  This was for her aunt who is blind.  Therefore, she wanted the card to be very 3Dish.

I cut the birdbath from 3 Birds On Parade cartridge, which is a new cartridge for me.  I then added rhinestones to symbolize a fountain effect.  I added prima flowers with rhinestones for more color.  Finally, I covered the water in the bath with stickles for texture and shimmer of the glitter.

Thanks Snow Much card

I made this thank you card for a Christmas present that my son received.  I used the When It's Cold Outside cricut cartridge.  I also used stickles and my i-rock tool on the snowflake.

The twine was Baker's Twine from Michaels and the sentiment was from my NEW My Pink Stamper Winter Punnies stamp set!  I also used my cuttlebug for the snowflake embossing.

Preschool Christmas Treat Bags

I made 50 of these for my son's preschool Christmas party.  I used the Smiley Card cartridge on my Gypsy.


Here is the "stickle" process of the little packages.  I had to lock my door to keep my son's little fingers away from them!  LOL!

Here's the finished product.  I thought they turned out so cute!

Finally, they were all boxed up and ready for delivery to the preschool.  

Now that's a lot of treat bags!


Please leave me a comment, I love reading what everyone has to say.  

"Love Bug" Scrapbook Page

To finish up the scrapbooking of our family re-takes, I wanted to make a fall theme.  I used Simply Charmed cartridge for the Love Bug and the hearts.  I also used my 1 oz orange stickles that I purchased at Michaels on black Friday!  They were a 3 pack for $6.99!  I think I'm addicted to stickles!

My son is so cuddly and lovable just like me!  That's why I titled this page Love Bug!

I also attempted using the Glassy Accents for the heart in the bottle cap affect.  I'm not sure about it yet.  I'll have to experiment some more with it.
