It's me, yet again! Are you sick of me yet? I'm back with post #5 for MPS's NSD Celebration. This is for Challenge #6 , which was to incorporate a tag. Now, I don't like tags, I don't really use them, but I got a collection that I thought was really cute, and had a sheet of cut apart tags, so I mounted one on a sheet of patterned paper, inked it up a bit, added a little bling and stamped a sentiment on it. Products Used: Sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Buggy Punnies Cardstock from The Paper Company Patterned Paper & tag from Dilly Dally by Making Memories Heat Set Rhinestones by Tulip *also used my Cinch Machine and Apron Lace border punch by Fiskars.  The first thing my 4 year old son and 2 year old niece said was "It's a handy dandy notebook!". I'm thinking they've seen Blue's Clues one too many times. At any rate, they both want their own notebooks now, lol. 

Welcome to post #4 of my entries for MPS's NSD Celebration! This is for Challenge #5 which was to make any 3-D item. I decided to try something new and made this cute 2-5-7-10 box. The tutorial for it is on Split Coast Stampers, I'll try to find it later and post a link for it.  Products Used: Pink Cardstock from The Paper Company Ribbon from my stash All other products from Echo Park Life is Good Collection.  I'm not sure what I'm gonna use this for yet, but I like it. :-)

I decided not to do Challenge #3, so here we go directly to Challenge #4 for MPS's NSD Celebration. We were to make anything with a Mother's Day theme. I again chose a card, simply because I hadn't yet made my mom's card. :-) Products Used: Echo Park Springtime Collection White Cardstock for base from The Paper Company Also some Stardust Stickles in the stripes.  Used a corner punch by Fiskars on all corners, & the Apron Lace border punch by Fiskars on the striped edge.  Pretty basic card, but I like it.  You'll be seeing a lot of EP, simply because I love them! I have lots of their paper, so I seem to be using mostly that right now. 

Post # 2 for MPS's NSD Celebration. Challenge #2 was to use Kraft Cardstock in a card or LO. I chose to make a card. I used kraft cardstock for the base, and then layered it with the banner also.   Products Used:  Echo Park Springtime Collection Baker's Twine from The Twinery Heat Set Rhine-studs from Tulip Kraft Cardstock from The Paper Company.  *Happy Birthday tag, butterflies & banner are all stickers from the Collection kit. For the banner, it was one sticker that I cut apart, mounted on cardstock and cut out. 

I decided to participate in My Pink Stamper's National Scrapbook Day Celebration, so get ready for a flood of posts & pictures from the challenges I participated in! Challenge #1 was Anything Cupcake.  The patterned papers are from the DCWV Sweet Stack, cupcake stamp is by Inkadinkado, sentiment stamp is from Studio G and cardstock is from The Paper Company. The image is colored with Bic Mark-It markers & also has Stardust Stickles on it. 

I got a Cinch machine not too long ago, and boy do I love using that thing! I've been playing with it quite a bit and actually, will be playing with it again later today, lol! So this first journal I did for my mom for her birthday day, the paper is some cute pattern paper I found in a pack at Target for $1. I just liked the colors, the flowers are Prima. I'm not sure where the button came from, I have a big stash of them. This one has lined paper inside and is(I think) 6" x 8".   I did this cute little notebook for my cousin. Paper is by Making Memories from one of their mat stacks. Ribbon is by American Crafts, and the punch is Apron Lace by Fiskars. Again, buttons from my stash. Size is 4.5" x 6.5". You can't see it in the picture, but on the inside, there is a mini pen that is attached with a ribbon loop so that it stays together.   I did this one for CropChocolate.com's April Challenge for the Design Team. All papers are from Making Memories J...

So I really wanted to create a barrel of monkeys card, lol, started thinking about it a couple of months ago when the munchkin was playing with his barrel of monkeys. I used my Gypsy a lot for this project, I needed the measurements for the window exact so the base & polka dot layers were all cut on the Gypsy. The barrel is actually the platform shape from Create a Critter that the seal sits on. I rotated it, made a copy of it, flipped the copy and welded them together with a rectangle so it would have a flat bottom & top. I had to do a little trimming to get it exact, but it worked out. I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Distressed Stripes Embossing Folder & inked it up with Colorbox's Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan(I seem to use this color a lot!). The window does have an acetate sheet there. Lettering is from the Hannah Montana cartridge, monkeys & all the grass is from Create a Critter. I did all the doodling with my trusty white gel pen from Sakura.  Front vi...
