Angel Blog Hopping!!

Hey, everyone!!!

Wow! What a weekend! I had so much fun at the Crop A Little Love event on Saturday and so did my daughter! She and I made cards and I was able to organize all my TAC paper packs with the scraps from each pack! I got a lot done and it felt great! I was honored to be asked to come and be a vendor for Melissa Bierlein's crop! Here's a photo of the GWP stamps I donated for the goodie bags!
Kadesia really enjoyed herself:
She got to use up all the leftover make 'n take kits to create some Valentine's for her class. Her party is next month so she got a head start and I think she was able to make about half of the amount she needs! She's a little worker bee with the Scor-Pal and the kits!
She was a complete angel for me all day! Even though she had to get up early on a Saturday and be up really late. She was helpful and pleasant all day! I am so proud of her! She even demonstrated the make 'n take project for a couple of the ladies.
I would have been able to share these photos today but I had computer issues and finally got that all resolved this evening. That means I wasn't able to participate in the first Angel Blog Hop of this year!! I still want to show you what I made and share the links of the other Angels with you! Be sure you check out all their amazing Valentine's Day Treats creations. We were going to share Valentine's Day themed projects like treat holders, recipe cards, scrapbook layouts, cards, altered art and home decor items to inspire you all to make a sweet treat for someone you love! I made a 2, 4, 6, 8 box from a piece of Miss Moxie designer paper from The Angel Company. I used a tag from the Miss Moxie dp and stamped it with the "Forget Me Not" sentiment from the Squiggle Ladybugs stamp set. I used Noir Palette Hybrid ink. Hope you like it!
I used the tutorial from Jen Young. It would make an adorable party favor, don't you think? Here are the links to even more inspiring projects:
Have fun hopping!
Hugs,

Father's Day Angel Blog Hop

Hey, everyone!

It's time for another Angel Blog Hop! The theme is FATHER'S DAY! I decided to make a fun card for my husband that reflected my kids....so I grabbed some stamps and here is what I came up with:The purple designer paper is the retired Gentle Beginnings. I love that paper!!! The Butterfly Kisses is from the Kid Praises stamp set (now 25% off on the Retired List). I picked this stamp to reflect my daughter because she always gives her daddy butterfly kisses and her room is decorated in pink and purple. The dinosaur is from the same set (order it soon if this is on your wish list before it's too late to order it anymore). My son loves dinosaurs and I know Paul will like the dino. Javan loves green so I picked some green and yellow to make it more fun! I stamped the "for you" sentiment from the Dear Friend stamp set in our Serendipity Catalog. I love it! It's a great set!!! The "you are" sentiment is from the YOU ARE stamp set also found in Serendipity. Then I put "dad" at the top of the card. It's stamped with the Viridian Leaf and Iris Palette Hybrid ink pads. I used the Scriptybet stamp set for that. I doodled some images inside the letters for a fun effect since the kids are giving it to him. The cardstock is cut at 4¼"x11" and scored at 5½".

February Angel Art Challenge

Hey, everyone!

It's time for another Angel Art Challenge! This month's challenge theme is "FRIENDSHIP" since February is National Friendship month! Even though my card does not have a sentiment that uses the word friendship in it, my friends will know why I chose this particular sentiment. I am always saying, "Hey, chickie," or, "Hey, chickadee," and I even refer to some of my friends as Chic-fil-a because that is just the way I am! LOL

This was an easy card to put together and pretty quick, too, about 10 minutes total. I am using our Premium White cardstock (V-290) with the Gentle Beginnings designer paper (V-900). I am not sure about the orange cardstock, it's just something I had small pieces of. The stamp set is Hey Chick (T-2260). There's 7 stamps in this set. It's so cute! I used Burnt Sienna (TT-197)
ink for the sentiments and the chicken. I then used my Tombow bright markers (F-01) to color the chicken's body, beak and legs.




I hope you enjoy checking out my shadow box card. Please check out the other Angels who are participating in this blog hop.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the links on the right hand side of my blog. I hope it inspires you to use this set if you have it!

Angel Art Challenge

Hey, everyone!

I am participating in a blog hop Angel challenge with a winter theme! I am so excited! My soon to be sister-in-law, Hannah, let me play with her Sprigs stamp set (T-2676). As soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to make a card using a reverse masking technique that I had learned a year ago. One of my favorite things about using this particular stamp set is how versatile it is. You can use the sprigs with stars for 4th of July or New Year's party invitiations, the flowers can be for spring or wedding themes, the hearts would be great for Valentine's Day and that is just the beginning! You can create so many different cards for special occasion, birthday, get well or just because! Mix and match the sprigs and create your own bouquets. I definitely added this stamp set to my WISH LIST.

I thought it might be kind of fun to use my scallop circle punch to create a neat effect. I used Water Lily Green (TT-212) on this 4"x4" card. The sprigs are stamped in Noir Palette Ink (TT-220) and then I added Prisma Glitter (A-287) to give the stars a little shimmer. The Christmas Blessings sentiment is from a retired TAC stamp set. The cardstock is Premium White Cardstock (V-290).

Here is a close-up of the stars. It's not the best picture in the world and the cardstock sort of looks ivory for some reason but in real life it's very shimmery and the cardstock is bright white!Now that you have seen my creation for the December Angel Art Winter Theme blog hop challenge, why not hop on over to the other Angel blogs to see all the great stuff they created, too?

November Angel Art Challenge: Thanksgiving

Hey, everyone!

Who wants to go on a blog hop today? I am participating in the November Angel Art Challenge with a Thanksgiving theme along with some of my fellow Angels. We're making Thanksgiving or Thank You cards. This is a great chance for many of you who want to be entered twice for my Blog Candy to get some ideas on a thank you card. You can read more about the Blog Candy here.

In the meantime, here is my Thanksgiving card. I used a retired TAC stamp set called Autumn Smiles that I really love! The acorn and leaf are from that set. The sentiment comes from the Count Your Blessings stamp set. This is a really fun set, too! The designer paper on the front of the card is TAC Juliette. I absolutely love this paper and have now completely used it all up. Time to reorder, huh?

I hope you like my card. Now hop on over to see what the other Angels came up with!
