Foolin' around with STUDS!! :)

Lucky me! I've had the opportunity to fool around with studs for the past few days. Studs as in...Prima's Say it in studs that is! I got some great stuff in my latest DT kit; papers from Bo Bunny, felt and of course the studs and the result? 4 new cards!

When I first sat down with my kit I thought, now how am I gonna use that felt?! Then it hit me, the felt was kinda fuzzy like a teddy bear. So, I took the cute bear in the "say it in studs" package and placed him on some pink felt. Then I cut around the bear and adhered him to my card. Isn't he cute? I've also used my new "water threading punch" from Fiskars to create the scalloped edge on the card.

I got pink and green felt in my DT kit and the green felt was perfect for my next little studly thing, the dinosaur!

I was surfing around trying to get some ideas for fun cards and when I landed on Card Positioning Systems blog I just had to scrap lift the flower bouquet card. It was just the perfect way to use the felt. I also got some pearls in my kit that I thought was a bit of a challenge to use but they turned out to be a cute way to decorate the flower bouquet.

For my 4th card I used my last cute stud animal. I decided to not do the fuzzy felt thing this time and just placed it on my patterned paper instead. This is how it turned out:

Now I can't wait to get my next DT kit! LOL! It is just so much fun to use papers and embellies that someone else has picked out for you. Challenging but fun!

Thanks for stopping by! I would love it if you'd say hello before you leave! :)

New DT member for MiMa's Scrapbooking! :)

I am so excited! 2 friends of mine have opened a scrapbook shop and I'm so proud to be a member of their Design Team. I will mainly be making cards and maybe a layout once in a while.
In my first DT kit I got the wonderful papers from Basic Grey's Ambrosia line to work with. You can buy all the pp's that I've used for these cards at MiMa's Scrapbooking.

First up is a Double Pocket Card. These are so easy and so much fun to make.

My second card is called a Mini Pocket Card. You write your greeting on the tag in the little pocket. The black cardstock I used for this card looks great. There are dots on it and it gives it a really nice texture. (I also used white dotted cardstock on the tags on the double pocket card).

Next up is a "Spinner Card". I got this technique from the Hero Arts blog (you can find a link in to the left on my blog). The card I made is a scraplift from a girl named Diana. I got a similar card in a card swap that I'm in and I just had to lift it!

The last card is a bookmark card. I cut two slits on the front of the card and then threaded the card through the slits to hold it in place.

For a close up look at the cards you can stop by MiMa's.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Title block!

I just couldn't come up with a good title , so there... now that we've got that part over with, lets get to the actual blog post! :)

Not too much going on here actually. Just a lot of line dancing and a bit of scrapping!

The wierd moment of the day was when the doorbell rang and when I opened the door a really old dude was standing there holding about 32 eggs! My first thought was, you've got to be kidding me...are you here to sell eggs?! But instead he asked if I knew something about a family named Smith (well, lets call them Smith. They had a different name that I can't even remember now). They had supposedly moved to our area 3 months ago. I told the old dude with the eggs that I didn't know where the Smith family lives and with that he was leaving.

I know, I'm really not a great blogger when all I have to write about today is an egg carrying old geezer! So, how about if I just post my latest work instead?!

First up, a layout with my cute niece! The picture was taken on midsummers eve several years ago. (She's turning 12 in 10 days)

This card I made for a card swap I'm in. This is one of the cards I sent in September. I used a page from an old book to create this!

Next up is a birthday card I made for a friend. The flowers are hand cut out from a patterned paper. I just love the colors on those flowers! Nice and bright!

Last creation for the day is my very first clear card. This was a lot of fun to make so there'll be more clear cards coming for sure!

Thanks for stopping by and welcome back! :)
