Guest Designer

I was asked to be a Guest Designer for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on May 13th.  I decided that since there were so many birthdays for my family in May, that I'd do a Birthday Theme.  I made a card and a banner:

For my card I used the candle, patterned paper, sequins, & glitter buttons.  For the sentiment I wrote, 'Happy Birthday!' twice.

I liked the balloon image so much I did the whole banner balloons, plus it can now be used as a "celebration banner" for other types of parties.

Here's a closer look at the banner:  Each balloon is inked and has a sequin, the background is also inked.

I used the following PPPR files:  Birthday Panda & Simple Banner Shapes

Some Birthdays!

At our house we have 2 birthdays along with Mother's Day, and then my birthday is around Father's Day.  Here are the 2 cards I've made for my brother and sister for their birthdays,  and a Mother's Day Card.

For my brother's card I used some svgs I found for Star Wars and made up the saying inside (as if Yoda was saying it).  It says "Celebrate, you must."  My brother likes Star Wars, in case you didn't notice.

For my sister's card I used Cricut's free projects.  It just seemed to fit her.  I added more of the dark turquoise as a border, because it is close to her favorite color.

For the Mother's Day card I did a large shape, that didn't fit in the scanner.  That's okay, it's a ticket shape with elements I found in Cricut's free images.  I made it quite early, and a couple weeks later all the Mother's Day cards were free.......geeez.  Oh well!  I'm sticking with this, it's different.

April Inspiration

Today I finished my April Inspiration for Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons (the contest goes till the 30th of April):

I was inspired to do my own butterfly card with my own sentiments of, "Just flitting by to say:  HELLO!".  I used files from PPPR store:  Butterfly, Card.  I also used: white & lt green sequins, googly eyes, purple & lt green ink, & a black Zig writer.

Doll File Project

I finished my Doll File project for the entry to Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon's monthly contest.  The theme was Spring/Spring Break.   I created dolls, clothes, and animals that could be used on backgrounds.  I have three backgrounds so far. I will be continuing to build on the Doll File.  Here is what I'm entering:

Hallelujah!

While posting the last post I realized it's been a while since I've posted.  It may be a while longer again because I've got another surgery coming up on Thursday.  I think it will be the last one.  Hallelujah!  The monthly PPPR contest is "Gettin Crafty" and here's my entry:

I used the PPPR file for the treasure chest.  It says  CRAFT PARTY   (off to the side it says bring your scissors with a small hand drawn pic of scissors)  (treasure chest) using supplies from my 'treasure trove' we will 'glam it up'!  When, Where, & There will be refreshments!  Then the white stripe that says Please RSVP to me at (phone number) before party (at least 24 hrs).  I put some jewels on it & lined it with a black pen.

Thank Ewe

I decided to make some easy thank you cards, and more than one.  I may make more because I really like them.  I used PPPR files for the sheep, and I created the text and then converted it to an SVG.  Here they are:

I made three at a time. In order for all of them to fit on the same background I cut them skinny.

February is coming....

February is coming and we all know that means Valentine's Day will soon be here.  I decided to make my valentines early.  Here's what I made for the little kids I teach to give to their families.  I used my Cricut Air and the Doodlecharms cartridge.

Dad's Birthday

I had another surgery...not quite as bad as the last one, but that's why it's been a while since my last post.  I've got 2 cards, so you'll get 2 posts.  The First one is a B-Day Card for my Dad.

3rd Creation

Yes, I made a 3rd creation for entering in the monthly challenge.  I loved the elf they gave us as a freebie.   I wanted to do something with it, so I came up with this:

I may make more creations, if I can get them done before the 2nd of January.

The Surgery

I created this 2 page layout with the help of Silvia Romero's Organizer Kit from Gotta Pixel.  I forgot to state that I applied for a position on Romero's Creative Team and I get to help the Creative Team for a couple of months.  Merry Christmas!!!  I'm working on a Christmas project to put in another contest from PPPR.

Veteran's Day Card

PPPR is having a holiday contest....cards or other things made for any holiday.  I made one for Veteran's Day:  I used the sentiment from the cut file, but didn't use the rest of the cut file for it because I'm having troubles with doing cardstock that small and running out of cardstock.

Says:  We Salute You

I'm hoping I can get a few more cards made for this contest to ensure a better chance at winning.  It closes on Dec. 5th.
