So we will just go with it for this post.<br />
<br />
My time on the Pink by Design design team has come to an end. (sniff, sniff) Sarah and the rest of the girls on the team were great to work with. <br />
<br />
Here is my card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8mM_dX4UJA63jCPUGKvhoLMdmV22oUGwrw_uZkHTE2z04x3evd0rLFS-y3SkxZLCTK7aUhvA3xvJif6Sy0gsO9G0q2PODJoJBTSll1IRcAKfwwONWu86bottF_ByAlbd-2QhhTA/s1600/mmferg+PBD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8mM_dX4UJA63jCPUGKvhoLMdmV22oUGwrw_uZkHTE2z04x3evd0rLFS-y3SkxZLCTK7aUhvA3xvJif6Sy0gsO9G0q2PODJoJBTSll1IRcAKfwwONWu86bottF_ByAlbd-2QhhTA/s400/mmferg+PBD.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>On my card I used the "happy love day" from <a href="http://www.pinkbydesignstore.com/products/Love-Always.html">Pink by designs Love always set</a>. I love this set!! Can't wait to use it more once Valentines day gets closer. <br />
<br />
Paper is by Stampin' Up, ribbon is Bazzill, the monekys are part of the Changito the Monkey line from Stampendous stamps. <br />
<br />
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays. <br />

Patterned paper is by Basic Grey Jovial<br />
Background paper was made by lovable old me...lol! No but seriously, it is just SU! kraft cardstock, stamped with a cheapie damask stamp from HL using Tim Holtz distressing ink in walnut (stamped off 3x) then sprayed with iridescent gold by tattered angels. I don't *love* gold...but it just seemed to go with this card. <br />
SU! ornament punch, SU! satin ribbon<br />
$1 stamp from Micheal's....this just goes to show you don't have to buy all those expensive stamps to make nice cards. ;) <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by, and if you are not a follower already....make sure add yourself. I do giveaways all the time, and I would hate for you to miss any :) <br />

I absolutely adore their stamps for several reasons...the images are ADORABLE, the quality of the stamp is the best, and I happen to be lucky enough to live only 20 miles from Peachy Keen headquarters so I have had the honor of meeting most of the Peachy Keen family...and they are the SWEETEST people you will ever meet. <br />
<br />
The challenge this time was to make an encouraging card. That's not too hard with all their adorable, cheery smiley stamps. Here is my card, I hope you like it!!!<br />

I used the faces from <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/products/PK_500_Snow_Cuties_Face_Assortment-456-0.html">Snow Cuties</a> and <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/products/PK_541_Funshine_Faces_1_1_8-189-0.html">Funshine faces</a>. They are some of my favorite sets!! <br />
The paper is all Stampin' Up. <br />
<br />

As you may have read Mandy is super busy with her new job, and asked myself and a few of her other scrappy friends to take over her blog until she can get back to being crafty. <br />
<br />
Today is Pink by design - design team submission day. Yippee! Part of the challenge was to use this fabulous paper Sarah had 3m sent to everyone on the design team call Post-it Craft. The entire back side of this paper is similar to what is on the 'sticky' part a post it note. I am loving using this in the Cricut!!! It cuts perfectly. <br />
<br />
This is going to be post that is heavy on pictures...and light on words. I don't have the same 'way with words' that Mandy does.<br />
<br />
Here you can see the back side of 3m's new Post-it Craft paper: <br />

I am a huge fan of Cricut Design Studio. I get all my cuts arranged on the screen, lay my papers down to match, and one run through the cricut...and I am done. (the orange colored paper is the front side of the post-it paper)<br />

I decided to use this cut as a mask. You can see in the picture below I put the mask on top of the red cardstock and sprayed it with black Maya Mist from Maya Road. Once it was dry I peeled up the mask leaving the beautiful design you will see on the card below.<br />
<br />

Here is the finished card. It is a 'tall' card measuring 9"x4", and will fit in a letter size envelope. I used the stamp "Well behaved women rarely make history" stamp from the Pink by design Shop-a-holic set. Such a fun girlie set!!!<br />

If you haven't stopped at their blog yet, make sure you do because they are giving away the new "Country Living" cartridge this week. <br />
<br />
I am going to make good use of my time as a guest designer, and do as many scrapbook pages as I can. Because if you are anything like me, you are sooooooooooo far behind on your scrapbooks.<br />
<br />
Here is my first layout:<br />
<br />

<br />
All of the paper in this layout is from the DCWV 'Guy' stack.<br />
I recently received a pack of the 3m's new craft post it paper...this stuff is amazing in the cricut. It cuts like butter, and the entire back side is repositionable adhesive. So it's perfect to use it for a mask like I did in this layout. I cut a heart from the simply sweet cartridge, and then peeled of the backing....attached it to the cardstock...spritzed the cardstock with 'leather' glimmer mist from Tattered Angels.

Here is my card I made using Sarah's Rock On sentiment stamp set. Here is a link, if you would like to order a set for yourself : <a href="http://www.pinkbydesignstore.com/">Pink By Design Store</a>. <br />
<br />
Let me apologize for my picture...it's not the best quality. I may re-take pics when I get home from work in the natural light. The light from my studio didn't do the card any justice. <br />

For those that asked, my surgery went well. It was suppose to be out patient, but due to some complications I ended up staying in the hospital. YUCKO! Today is the first day, that I am starting to feel like myself. I hope each day gets better and better. Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers.

Ok, now onto the layout I created using the Pink by Design {Rock On} stamp set. If you haven't tried these photopolymer stamps yet....take it from me a 'red rubber' snob....they are amazing!<br />
<br />
If you are anything like me when I see a sentiment stamp...I think card. Sarah did such a great job on choosing sayings for her stamps...that I had a hard time choosing...there were so many options.<br />
<br />
Here is a link to the Pink By Design Store: http://www.pinkbydesignstore.com/ . Sarah also just announced that Oh My Crafts! will be selling her stamps. Yay!! :) <br />
<br />
Enough chattering and enabling from me, here is my layout....<br />

<br />
We have officially moved into our new home, my scraproom is not finished but I have it set up so it's functionable---which is good enough for me. ;) <br />
<br />
Last week I had the pleasure of going to CHA (craft & hobbie association trade show) I got a sneak peek of all the new products coming out for scrapbooking and card making. Now I had a lot of favorites, but there is one little fun tool that really stuck out to me. I thought I would share it with you all...<br />
<br />
It's called Sew Easy, it's made by We R Memory Keepers....and I am in love. Not run off to Vegas love, but you know what I mean, right???<br />
<br />
The initial tool will retail for $7.95 and the interchangeable thingies (yes, that is a technical term) will only be $2.50. Sweet deal right!?!? I though so. So you want to see pictures, right. Of course you do.<br />
<br />
But before I show you pictures, I just want to say I played with this cool little tool at CHA for awhile. I know it says pierces on the packaging...but the wheels are plastic and they "dent" the paper but they do not pierce it. They are more of just little guides. <br />

Are those stitches super cute, or what? I know some of you are super D duper sewers and would have no need for something like this....but I am not that girl and this is just what I need. <br />
<br />
I promise to start posting projects again very soon.

<br />
Please stay tuned for more details....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31972574.post-26115395061417136862010-04-12T10:25:00.000-05:002010-04-12T10:25:10.780-05:00I've gotten my *crafty* mojo back !!!!I was so busy with Stampin' Up during Sale-a-bration that I didn't have time to get much crafting done, and on top of not having time...I lost my mojo for awhile. But it's back....whooohooo!!<br />
<br />
<br />
We recently returned from a family cruise, and I have a few layouts that I created to share with you. Now these are not going to wow your socks off...but with over 300 pictures to scrapbook I have to keep the layouts quick and simple. Otherwise I will never finish scrapbooking this trip!!!<br />
<br />
This first layout is when we were getting ready to set sail from New Orleans. It had been a looong day, and we were all ready to get the show on the road....so to speak ;) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEH4GbMNOCzSYQmimKj_SsDcsUgEvrfy2ItdMW6fNMv7-dsIgqt3dAk7dotIkjBZ2PWYp2RRiq3548__Swwm64TzikUMDbsQElvcM5rgbI2xQpBuM6o19WQrPqzRGwPuKd_rB2kA/s1600/IMG_6024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEH4GbMNOCzSYQmimKj_SsDcsUgEvrfy2ItdMW6fNMv7-dsIgqt3dAk7dotIkjBZ2PWYp2RRiq3548__Swwm64TzikUMDbsQElvcM5rgbI2xQpBuM6o19WQrPqzRGwPuKd_rB2kA/s640/IMG_6024.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The patterned paper came in a kit that I bought, the title was cut on the cricut using Cuttin' Up cart and the anchor is from Life's a Beach. Cardstock is from the Whitewash collection from Coredinations.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">______________________________________ </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">See now I warned you, some of these layouts would be kind of blah and simple....</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioUZ9-ecO0kiHHn-YvQFAuoff0BOsCbgrPJNZkFWw3aM31-s5AqCUNuMnPnYKghE93UNM5HSOplgcTqIFq3uhHNJUQ_vYTP8rC4RAh4S8GxALdQO4l9ts6LYmB8kHPlebsYlEr2A/s1600/IMG_6034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioUZ9-ecO0kiHHn-YvQFAuoff0BOsCbgrPJNZkFWw3aM31-s5AqCUNuMnPnYKghE93UNM5HSOplgcTqIFq3uhHNJUQ_vYTP8rC4RAh4S8GxALdQO4l9ts6LYmB8kHPlebsYlEr2A/s640/IMG_6034.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>But really their wasn't anything to exciting about tendering into Belize. And to be very honest....there wasn't anything to exciting in Belize either. Certainly not a country I will visit ever again...once was plenty!!!<br />
<br />
Patterned paper was from a kit, cardstock is all Stampin' Up and embossed with CB folders and then inked with the Stampin' Up white ink pad (best white ink pad on the market...I promise!!!)<br />

</ul><ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">First day they will offer the brand new clear mounted option for stamps. These are NOT clear stamps...they are still the same rubber stamps we have always loved from SU!. Now we have the option for unmounted (aka clear mounted) or the traditional wood mounted. The unmounted will save you space and $$$. I am so excited SU! is finally giving us this option! The unmounted option will only start with the stamps in the new Occasions mini catalog, and continue from there. </span> </li>

You still have time to leave a comment over at <a href="http://www.cricutchristmas.blogspot.com/">Christmas with the Cricut</a>, so you can be entered in the drawing for free prizes. Not too mention seeing what those incredibly talented girls have posted for their crafty gift. Also please check out <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/">Monique's blog</a>...she is sooooo creative I am sure you will LOVE what she has created for today. It has been such a fun week. I hope everyone enjoyed the projects I created. <br />
<br />
Today's crafty gift is a 12x12 shadow box frame that I etched and layered with vinyl.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigNGCtNaLpcVXcuYGilQv7IHpaxE0XUVdk2klEpWKE-OhOvUpIXYMsLWscvEBkftzfjZETxEXF9d7pG5hlN7r8D_P0i26kmNtOHvVXJNkcvAakpDlZkNzjDyO5IrVRTDfOqLZ7g/s1600/IMG_5213.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigNGCtNaLpcVXcuYGilQv7IHpaxE0XUVdk2klEpWKE-OhOvUpIXYMsLWscvEBkftzfjZETxEXF9d7pG5hlN7r8D_P0i26kmNtOHvVXJNkcvAakpDlZkNzjDyO5IrVRTDfOqLZ7g/s400/IMG_5213.JPG" /></a><br />

</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is so hard to photograph. Here in this corner is where I etched in 3 snowflakes from Winter Woodland cartridge and 2 scallops swirls that I flipped, rotated and welded together to create a corner. I also placed rhinestones in the center of all 3 snowflakes.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the word "family" I used the front from Winter Woodland. I cut out the word family using the shadow feature @ 3" with vinyl and used etching cream to permanently etch the glass. Next I cut out family in black vinyl @ 3" and layered on top of what I had etched.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Once the etching cream was removed and washed, of course)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The paper used inside the frame is from the My Mind's Eye paper stack that I purchased at Michael's. Ribbon is made by Bazzill and purchased from Archiver's.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you so much for spending this week with me and celebrating my time as guest designer on <a href="http://www.cricutchristmas.blogspot.com/">Christmas with the Cricut</a>.

As I type this I have a house full of family waiting for me to finish up my post so we can write up our plan of attack for shopping. (keep in mind, I just got back from doing a little shopping).<br />
<br />
This week I am a guest designer for the fabulous blog called <a href="http://www.cricutchristmas.blogspot.com/">Christmas with the Cricut</a>, along with the ultra talented<a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/"> Monique</a>. Today is the day that we share a fancy card. I'm not sure if mine is 'fancy' or not...I'll let you be the judge. ;)<br />
