National Teddy Bear Day with My Cricut Craft Room

Hello everyone! Today is

I am so happy to be joining the My Cricut Craft Room's design team!

Today we had to use a teddy bear that was a feature button on a cartridge. I found mine on Everyday Paper Dolls. I cut it at 2.5 inches. *you must have real dile size on to get actual 2.5 inches*

I layered the bear on a Carta Bella 6x6 paper pack I have on hand.

I added Shore Twine and used my pearl pens in Light Blue and Silver Chrome.

I hope you like my take on this assignment!

Look for posts every week for this team!

Celebration with Just A Scrappin'

Hello again everyone!!

Today I am sharing a card for the Just A Scrapping Challenge this week

Celebration using Pink, Blue and White with 3 pearls or rhinstones

Sometimes is great working with something so specific :)

I started looking through my stash and saw my Melissa Frances Crepe Paper that has pink and blue in it and went from there. Here is what I came up with:

I used Shore and Blossom twine from the Twinery for the background and the middle of the Stampin Up Pennant punch. I punched the middle triangle of the pennant, ran it through my xyron and covered it in pieces of twine. Just trim the edges and you have your original shape :) Then added it to the scalloped pennant piece from the punch

The Celebrate stamp is also from Stampin Up in a set called Everything Nice. I colored it with Stampin Up Markers in Regal Rose and Bashful Blue on another white piece and pop dotted it. The pearls are from Queen and Co.

I really used a variety of companies on this one! I love the way you can really mix and match your stash of stuff!

I think this would be a great birthday card, or to celebrate a new baby arriva.

Check back on my post from yesterday to enter to win some great product from Quick Quotes since I am their guest designer for August!!

I'll be back next week with some more cards and another Quick Quotes project! I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

2 Page Layout

Hello again!

Today I am showing you the final project I created for the Quick Quotes Design Team Application. I already created a card and a project so I knew I had to do a layout!

I found this sketch from sketchsavvy from back in May of 2010. It is amazing how sketches can last the test of time. I knew I wanted something with clean lines and I just thought this was perfect. 

I went through my Quick Quotes stash and  pulled out my Patsy's Paradise line. The colors and phrases were perfect for my trip last summer to a place in Ohio called Put-in-Bay. Then I went through my Quotes binder and saw that I had some die cut sheets from this paper line as well. Even better! So I found some quotes to go with my papers and got to work.

I didn't really give the page a title since I know this won't be the first page in the album for this trip. I inked everything in Tahiti Quick Quotes ink.

 I added some pearls to the center of this flower to make it a little more interesting. I also wrapped some baker's twine around the cream ribbon.

As soon as I saw this Flip Flop Vellum I knew I had to use it. I was in flip flops all weekend but the only picture of my feet is on this layout. I added some more of the twine on the tags.

The quote that runs along the bottom of the page and this square came from the same sheet of paper. I cut a slit above and below the phrase so I could slide my heart behind it. I added another tag with twine for my last quote. 

I am also entering this in UnstampaBelles Challenge: Anything goes & No Stamps (entry 2 of 3) and
Anything Goes Challenge Blog: Anything goes (entry 2 of 2)

Well I hope you enjoyed my Design Team application. I had a great time making these items. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I get picked!
