Birthday Card

Hello again,
Here's my 3rd post of the night. I'm finally getting around to posting some of the neat projects I've been making. Here's a simple birthday card I made for my best friend in Georgia. I also included a gift card.
I must admit I used mainly scraps for this. She's definitely worth more than scraps to me. I love her dearly. More than she knows. I've done so many things with pink and zebra pattern that I had plenty left over to make this super cute card. I used my Pink by Design stamps for the sentiment and shoe.

Happy Birthday Deb....and yes I'm posting this almost 2 months after her birthday.

Girly Jolly Roger Pirate party

Hi,
It's all about parties these days. I recently created a very girly pirate party theme. Here are a few pictures. The Jolly Roger was made on my Gypsy using the Indie Art cartridge. I hid the original eyes using the "hide contour" feature and added the hearts for her nose and eyes. For the banner I used the font from the Baby Steps cartridge. Enjoy!!

Gatefold Invitations

Hello Crafty friends!
I know I haven't been posting lately. Very busy with my boys at home and I have been crafting like mad during the weeee hours of the night. I haven't been on the computer much only to catch up on my blogs or check my email.

Here is a gatefold invitation I made for my best friend's daughter's birthday. (that's a tongue twister!) I have seen gatefold cards before and always wanted to make one but never got around to doing them until now. I will admit. This is NOT my original design. My friend found it on Three Kids Party Shop. They're on Etsy.

Items used:
Bazzill Berry Blush cardstock
Black Cardstock/plain and textured
DCWV Glitter stack (black and pink)
White and Black polk-a-dot paper (not sure what brand)
Tags Bags Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge (base of card)
Forever Young Cartridge - (silhouette of girl(Barbie)
Gypsy Font (Barbie)
Martha Stewart score board
Computer

I used the Gypsy to alter a tag and set the size to 7.45" x 10". This ends up cutting at approximately 7" by an exact 10 inches. I then scored it at 2.5 and 7.5 and folded the flaps in. I printed out the invitation information from my computer and matted it with a black piece of cardstock. The polk-a-dot paper is cut at 1 1/2" and the black band is cut at 2" x 11". Here are the photos.

Happy Crafting!

Thank you to our Teachers Blog Hop Day 3!

Hello! Welcome to Day 3 of the Thank You to our Teachers Blog hop. If you just arrived here from Claudia's blog then you're on the right track. If you just dropped by and wish to see the fabulous teacher gifts then you should start at the beginning with Jen. Here's what I have to show you.

made this last year for my son's pre-k teacher. It's a wooden letter covered in patterned paper and
embellished. The teacher loved it. It was so nice to walk into her classroom this
year and see it up on her wall. I used grunge paper for the flower and
spritzed it with "fake" glimmer mist to give it it's color. Click Here to find out about
my "fake" glimmer mist. The butterfly is from the
Gypsy Wanderings cart.

This is a thank you card I gave to one of the ladies/friend
that work in the office. I was so thankful for all of her
help with my sons enrollment into Kindergarten.

This tag was made using the Locker Talk cartridge.
Made this to accompany one of the end of the year
gifts. On the back I wrote a personal
message to the teacher.

I hope you all had as great a time as I've had in this hop. As a THANK YOU to you I will be giving away 2 things!!
The first is an accordion album similar to the one I made on my first post. The second giveaway is a scalloped tag chipboard mini album. I have 1 RULE. You must leave me a comment on all three posts to be eligible.
Post 1 is HERE and Post 2 is HERE.
The lucky winner will be chosen via random.org on Tuesday, June 14th.
