Believe

Wow I actually made a card for a few challenges and I had to use my Disney carts since I absolutley love making anything Disney. I tried to keep it simple so the focus would stay on the characters. The picture did not capture the glitter/pixie dust on Tink and Michael.

A Girl In A Candy Store

I decided to take advantage of the some of the sales so lately I've been like a girl in a candy store.

I didn't have many stamps for Valentine's Day so I stocked up on a few things. And the exciting news? I bought a cart to give away to one lucky winner.

I will post my cart give away on Feb. 2, 2012, Groundhog Day!

Stay tuned for the Blog Candy post and rules.

Happy Crafting...

Football Season

I am finally back in my craft room!

Lately I've been working on my Face Book Fan page for Scrappin Rabbit Designs and trying to set it up so that my blog posts populate the fan page. This has not been an easy task. But enough about that for now.

Since the first holiday around the corner is Groundhog Day, I had to make a card for the occassion.
And of course I went straight to my Disney carts to find Gopher.

I had a certain friend in mind for this card and since he's a big Packer's fan. I had to figure out a way to incorporate football with gopher. After some thought I decided the perfect thing to use was the helmet.

What do you think? I had fun creating this card and I can't wait to send it to my friend. I hope he likes as much as I do..

Here's how I did it:

I used the Pooh & Friends cart and cut gopher out at 4" using Recollections cardstock.
I printed the helmet, attached it to a scrap piece of cardstock and then cut around it.
The sentiments were also printed on my computer: I say it's still Football Season, front cover and Happy Groundhog Day! inside card.
I used SU Basic Black ink to ink the edges of my two tags. Then added some dots with my zig pen for a little extra detail.

For the inside sentiment: Happy Groundhog Day! I used the Taylored Expression Frame it Up! - 1 die. I absolutely love this die. If you have never used Taylored Expression dies I encourage you to give it a try. She has a clear transparency included with the die so that you can use it to center around your sentiment then mark it so that when you use the die you will get it right the first time. Eyeballing does not work for me. :)

Other supplies used:
Zig Black pen for detailing
Zig glue
Foam tape
Brads
Grass background cardstock from Hobby Lobby

Too Cute

Wow is it really January already!  I have been abscent for quite some time now and I've missed everyone and my craft room. I just can't seem to get my new routine down yet and still find time to craft.
I saw the post Build a Valentine from My Craft Spot and loved her matchbook valentine so much that I had to make my own to fit a regular size bag of M&M's. Thanks for the great idea!

Here's my version of the matchbook valentine. What do you think?

Here's how I did it:

I used Recollections 12x12 sheets of cardstock and cut them down to 12x 3 1/8" then scored it at 5, 51/4 and 11".

Stamps: Walmart 97 cent bin and Inkadinkadoo Animal Hearts Stamp set.

Stamping Up Real Red, Orachid Opulence and Basic Black ink

Colored pencils

Staples
Standard size bag of M&M's.
