Scrappy Moms Valentines Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scrappy Moms Valentines Blog hop!

If you have come from Lezlye's at Ink and Paper Creations then you are in the right place. However, if you just happened to swing by you will want to start at the beginning at Melanie's blog so as not to miss any of the wonderful creations. :)

Today the design team and I will be showcasing the "Crazy For You" stamp set.

For my project I really wanted to use the " Made For Each Other" sentiment. (It's one of my favorites!)

For this project the milk carton came from The Cutting Cafe. The brown band was made with the Threading Water punch. The hearts were cut from the Cricut "Love Struck 2010" cartridge and I cut the cookie from the Cricut "Sesame Street and Friends" cartridge. Both of the sentiments are from the "Crazy For You" set.

I just love how this turned out!!

Here is the full stamp set that we are showcasing. You will also have the chance to win this set if you comment on this post. Every blog you comment on in the hop gives to another chance to win. The winner will be announced on the Scrappy Moms blog. :)

To celebrate being a Guest Designer for Scrappy Moms this month I also wanted to give away a little something. One lucky winner will be receiving this 2 pack of embossing folders. I'll be announcing the winner on Monday. :)

Whimsical Wednesday Challenge ~ "Tag It"

Welcome to our Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!

Todays challenge is ~Tag It!

Make a tag and it must include bling.

I must say this truly was a challenge for me. I have never done a tag before and had no idea where to start or what I wanted to make. I don't think I have ever stressed about what to make for a project as much as I have for this challenge.

I started on it pretty late at night and was too tired to finish it so I took a sneak peek picture and left it on my table deciding I would finish it in the morning. Well, it turns out my 4 year old daughter did not like what I was doing with the tag and decided she needed to add her own special touch to it. needless to say I had to make a new one. (The second picture is of both of the tags.)

The tag I made today I made for my 9 year old daughter. (The fairy really reminded me of her.)

The tag was made using "Tags Bags Boxes and More" cartridge. (although there are lots of other cartridges that have tags on them.) The pink layer was cut from the "Love Struck 2010" cartridge. I added Lavender Stickles, and a purple metallic gel pen to highlight parts of it. The stamp is from Scrappy Moms stamps and the twine is from The Twinery. For the bling I used my i-rock and clear gems.

Here are both tags together. She took off all of the gems because she didn't like where I had put them. After thinking about it I decided she was right so when I made the second one I did the gems in a wavy patteren instead of straight.

To get all the detail about the challenge and to see the tags the other wonderful DT members have made head on over to the Whimsical Wednesday Blog.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Valentine Container ~ LFIF Challenge

Peachy Keens Lets Face It Friday challenge is to make an altered item to hold Valentine cards. (Click on the link to read all the info.)

When they announced this challenge I thought it would be perfect to make a "Love Note" container for my kids. Each day my kids can write little notes to their siblings telling something they love about each other and every night after dinner we can sit down and read them and then the kids can keep the ones that are for them.

A lot of the DT used mail boxes from the dollar spot at Target but I am currently tapped out on money so I decided to use what I already had... formula cans. I had no idea what to do with them until this challenge came along.

Here is the top. I used "Making The Grade" cartridge for the words and "Mini Monograms" for the circles.

Here is the front of the can. I used "Love Struck" cartridge for the hearts and PK "Snow Cutie" stamps for the faces.

Here is the side. The punch is Martha Stewart.

These are the cards I made to fit in the can. My kids will be making round postcards that they can decorate on one side and write on the other.

I hope you enjoy and have a great day. :)

Pirate Valentine Card

I made this card for Flaunt it Fridays challenge #7. and also for Cricut Cardz challenge. For FLIF ou needed to use the skull from "Mini Monsters" cartridge on page 65 in a non Halloween way and for CCC you needed to use Red, Black, and White only.

I cut out the pirate from the "Love Struck 2010" cartridge and the little skulls from the "Mini Monsters" cartridge. The sentiment at the top are rub-on letters. I added some red Stickles and white gel pen. (I may have gone a little over board on the doodling.)

I hope you enjoy and have a great day!
