What's Up, Doc?

What's up, Doc?  Yep, these indeed are paper carrots I made for everyone for Easter.  I printed the pattern on cardstock, enbellished with pear pizzazz cardstock at the top which I fringed, and tied it all together with some twine at the top.

Hoppy Easter!

I love this little monkey-- Changito!  It has been quite a while since I made some cards, probably December.  Just been in a funk, then so busy with work and all this year, It was nice to sit down last night and make a card, but I was also stressed because I felt so much pressure to make an amazing card... oh well, maybe I and just warming up.

Thanks for stopping!

It's a SPArty!

Karsyn wanted a girly-girl spa party this year, and here is what I came up with for the invites:

It is a 5 3/4" square card, hot pink and white cardstock with silver embossing powder on the stamped image.  It was a blast for a bunch of 6 year old girls!

This is the favor we made for everyone:

Again, going with the same image (CTMH Teen Princess, retired), layered over zebra print cardstock, which had hot pink mohair hotglued to the back of it before being attached to the light pink carstock "handbag."

The handbag was made with 5 3/8" cardstock adhered to a brown paper bag with the height cut down.  Inside were all kinds of girly goodies-- lip gloss, nailpolish, gemstone rings, and body glitter lotion.  WOOHOO!

Thanks for being patient to see what they all looked like this year!

Lucky in Springtime

LJ's spring time swap over on Splitcoast is a broad themed swap-- the only requirement that it be Spring related, and since Karsyn was born in the spring, St. Patrick's Day to be exact, spring is lucky for us.  I also wish my spring semester student teachers good luck as they graduate and venture out to the world of teaching.  Plus, these colors are REALLY pretty!

SU cardstock, Pear Pizzazz ink, and Goodluckabella image.  On the inside, it is stamped "Lucky You (and lucky me for knowing you!)" from SU! Hostess set.  Colored with Copics.

Love Notes

I don't do vintage very often, but I did for my dearie Kelli Jo.  She is hosting a vintage Valentine ATC swap over on Splitcoast.

Colored image is from a blog I found after Googling "vintage vanentine digital."  It was free, and adoarble, so I snagged it, printed on cardstock, coated with shimmer spray and set to the side.  I layered SU cardstock, printedd paper from Colorbok, and some vintage looking sheet music from Lindsay's Stamp Studio at My Grafico.  I distressed the sheet music, piled on the shimmery heart image, used a "Love" stamp that I heat embossed, then finished with embellishments of red sting and clear gems.

Casting Spells with Cutie Smiles....

How cutie-patootie is that smile!  This is the scrapbook page for October 2011.  What an adorable witchy-poo for Halloween!

The page is 12 x 12 adorned with a handmade tag using $1 stamps from Michael's, black glittered cardstock cut with my Cricut (words and 2011), finished up with 3 gem stones on the bottom left corner.

Thanks for hanging in there with me for another year!

For My Volunteers...

How cute are these mini paint cans????  I made these for my parent volunteers at school.  They really do spoil me by helping out with copying, cuting, laminating, stuffing folders & mailboxes, helping with reading & math groups, just about ANYTHING I ask!  As a thank you, I decorated these mini cans (Target $1 Spot on Black Friday), then filled with scented lotions, peppermint foot rub, lip balm, etc.  I am really so lucky to have these parents in my class!

I will attached a tag with the following note:

You are so sweet
To "pamper" our class
With all your help.
Here's a little treat just for you.

Thanks for being a "Scent" sational volunteer!
