Hi Paper Lovers...

Cristina from Crafting with Cristina is celebrating her one year blog anniversary with a blog hop.
If you hopped here from my super crafty friend Paula's blog then you are in the right spot...if not, click HERE to start the hop at Crisitina's blog.

Cristina asked us to make a project inspired by something she has created over the last year. Looking back on her blog....I noticed she uses banners alot on her projects and she almost always uses a bow. So...I decided to make a card with a banner and a bow. I also used some inspiration from my blog bestie MOMO.....I stole her super cute idea to tie the bows at the ends of the banner!

The card base is cut from Wild Card at 4.25
The circle is cut from Winter Woodland at 4
The cupcake is cut from Straight From the Nest at 2
The banner is cut from Straight From the Nest at 1

This adorable sentiment is from the Scrappy Mom's set All in the Family
I added some Cappuccino twine also from Scrappy Mom's
I added Stardust Stickles to the cherry and Waterfall Stickles on the frosting

Your next stop on the hop is the super talented TAMMY from Scrappy Mom's stamps....enjoy!!!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge with Scrappy Mom's

Hi Paper Lovers...

Its time for another challenge over at the FABULOUS Scrappy Mom's blog!!! This time the challenge is the New Arrvial Cricut cartridge. If you are like me and do not have this cartridge, just use something with a baby theme. I went with the adorable baby face on the Doodlecharms cartridge. That one is an oldie but goodie =) The baby theme is to go along with the release of their new set Special Delivery.

When I decided to cut the face so big....I just had to put her on an Action Wobble!!! I made a quick video so you can see the wobble in action! Click HERE to head on over the the Scrappy Mom's blog. Check out what this awesome Design Team has come up with and please join in on the fun....you just might win some new STAMPS!!!

Scrappy Mom's Sneak #3/ Purse shape card

Hi Paper Lovers...

For my third sneak, I decided to use two stamps from the All in the Family set. This set is of course awesome for family projects, but there are some really cool sentiments on here that do not have to be used for family.

For this card, I welded two 5" purses from the Kate's ABC's cartridge (thank you Julie) and made an adorable little card for my niece who is turning 16!!!! Oh! my flippin goodness....I feel old =)

The little 1.25" tag is from Tags Bags Boxes & More. The ball chain is from Tim Holtz.

I need a new blade, so the cardstock snagged a little....I have time to make her another one in time for her special day......

You guys HAVE to see what Lauren did with the Kate's ABC's cartridge and a sentiment from the All in the Family set.....click HERE! I didnt know how to link directly to the post so it is the card dated Thursday, April 7, 2011....it is out of this world ADORABLE!!!

So....are you wishing you had some new stamps yet??? You can get your stamps by clicking HERE! Thanks for stopping by today!
