Ice Cream Social

We've been invited to our very first ice cream social to celebrate our dear little friend's 2nd birthday next week. I'm really looking forward to it. The mom of this little friend is very crafty and has been busy making ice cream name tags, a game, cone cupcake holders, center pieces, sundae cups, etc. It's going to a blast!

There is a blog that I've been following from the beginning but have not played along until today. The blog is all about BIRTHDAY cards! This blog is perfect because they use the same sketch for two weeks, first for female cards and then for masculine cards. Once I get into a routine with this blog I'm going to try and two cards a week one for a child and one for an adult. But for today my card is for a little man who loves parents love the color orange and he is starting to show an interest for dino's.

Stamp: "ROAR" from Close to my Heart.
Inks: Goldrush, Lagoon (CTMH) and Chocolate Chip (SU)
DSP: Peach Parfait (SU) and the white with bones is a border stamp from Roar stamped four times on white paper
Bakers Twine: Lagoon

Adding to my stash of anniversary cards here's my card that I whipped up while little M is napping. I made this card for two challenges the first is Queen of the Day - Diane congratulations Diane. I love her variety of birds and flowers on her cards. This is the card that I cased of hers. I changed the embosing folders and added a bird to create the anniversary feel to the card and changed the colors to go with the second challenge for this card. Color Challenge 410 using soft suede, calypso coral and pool party.  Hope you enjoy this card, thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment.

Card and Photo Frame for Oma's 61st Birthday

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today I want to share an altered project with you that my 3-1/2 year old daughter helpe me with. We were in Michaels and she asked if we could buy something to paint like this $20 wooden rocket ship that was a no but we agreed on a couple of $1.5 photo frames for her. And aryclic paint was on a great sale so we grabbed a few bottles of paint too.

So when we got home she ran inside and grabbed her painting smock and climbed up onto her chair ready to paint. Once both frames were painted she turned and asked if I would and some bling. I love crafting with my girl. Here's what we created.

Supplies used: pink acrylic paint, dsp Stella (CTMH), pink button (SU), glitter brads (unknown), Victoria lace ribbon (SU), Sentiment (CTMH Sonoma Workshop on the go), Rolled Flowers (cut on the cricut with the Artiste Cartridge)

 

I also created a matching card using the same papers used for the flowers on the frame.

Enjoy the ride TLC410

The try a new technique challenge over at Splitcoast on Monday was chalkboard technique. It looks so neat I just had to try it out. My husband turned 39 today and loves to ride his mountain bike, I've ordered him a neck brace for his crazy riding. It hasn't arrived in the mail yet (due to the holidays) so I needed to create a bike card for him to explain the delay in his gift.

Here are the details on the products used to create this card:

Stamp: It's your day (Close to my Heart)
Cardstock: Craft, black and sky blue
Ink: Versamark, White craft ink, Dessert Sand
Tools: White embossing power, heat gun.
Extras: Decorative Lable punch, Tim Holtz Tissue Tape (Symphony)

Lighthouse SFF122812

Good Morning, I'm always in need of birthday cards and realized my stash is pretty empty right now. Especially in the male department so my challenges will all be birthday cards for awhile.

Here is the card I created this morning for Sketch Frenzy Friday (SFF122812) After seeing this photo I realize that I need to readjust the ribbon. I don't like how funny the left side looks.

 

 

My lighthouse stamp is from Loralie Art Stamps (Fair Sea) I used copics E44 on the door and top, C1 & C3 to create shadows on the walls, BG10 & BG000 to create the glow around the light house.  Red copics always give me issues bleeding on my images so today I tried something new and I really like how it turned out. I used my new cherry cobbler stamp pad and an aqua brush to color in the roof.

 

Ribbon is pool party 1/2" seam binding, button (replacing the sun) is a vintage button handed down to me from my grandmother, paper is from the festival of prints paper stack and left over cherry cobbler pieces from another project.

 

Here's a photo of the sketch, please hop over to Sketch Frenzy Friday blog and see what the wonderful dt has created. Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my card.

Blocks for Tori

A while ago I purchase two sets of My Mind's Eye Decorative Block Kits from www.scrapbooksteals.com I finally got around to making them for the kids for Christmas. Mason's is not complete yet so I'll post pictures of his later. But here's a peek at Victoria's set.

 

 

Receipe:

• Sand all the rough spots on the wood blocks
• Paint all the edges with Craft Smart Violet Acrylic Paint
• Cut 54 1.75" squares from three patterns of Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper from SU
• Glue n seal the DSP to wood blocks
• Apply glitter letters, numbers and flourish designs to the blocks. Two sides have her first name, one side has the numbers 1-9 and the other three include the full alphabet.
• Glue n seal the blocks again.

Doesn't seem that bad but there was LOTS of drying time involved. Hopefully I can get Mason's done and posted before Christmas. I am using on of my favorite retired paper packs from SU.
