A Tardy Bday Wish

Hi everyone!

I hope that everyone is off to a great start to their week! We're half way until the weekend! I've got tons of ideas for cards that I want to create, but I'm limited on time as I do have a group submission and a mid-term exam next week :( Hopefully I'll be able to sneak away from the pile of work I've got to do, to craft...even just for a little while! ;)

Remember, you still have time to enter into the current giveaway here.You have until this Friday at 12PM PST to enter. 

Here's a witty little birthday card I created for Sarah over at PinkCricut.com's sew-easy link up party and button birthday card challenge over at Birthday Sundaes.

And for the inside sentiment, I used My Pink Stamper's More Punnylicious Stamp Set.

Trail of Treasures:

• Card Base - standard A2 sized card, 4.25 x 5.5"
• Layers - used DCWV Spring Stack for the patterned paper and used the Stampin' Up Scallop Border Punch, used my We-R Memory Keepers Sew-Easy for the border of the yellow layer
• Frog - cut from Sweethearts Cartridge, stitched, and added a button with a stitched cross for the eyes
• Lily-Pad and Balloons - cut from Create-a-Critter Cartridge
• Sentiments - 'a tardy birthday wish' made using the PBD Small Banners set; inside sentiment from My Pink Stamper's More Punnylicious Stamp Set.

That's all I have for you guys today! Gotta run to class now!

Until next time's treasures,

Happy Baa Day

I'm back everyone! Two posts in one day! Is that not pretty amazing for me, coming from the girl who posts on average..maybe four times a month?!? Over at Birthday Sundaes, on the first Sunday of the Month, the challenge is anything goes, as long as it incorporates some sort of a birthday sentiment. Make sure you head over and join the fun for Challenge 12!

I just wanted to quickly share with you this card that I made with the scraps of a birthday card I made for a friend. You can view the original here. I've used the adorable lamb from the Create-a-Critter cartridge for so many birthday cards so far -- it is just too cute!!I love the pennant! The stamp set that I used is a Pink By Design stamp set called 'Small Banners' which you can purchase here.

 

Materials Used:

• Create-a-Critter cart for the lambs, party hats, and pinwheel
• Echo Park Springtime 6x6 paper pad for the patterned paper
• Pink By Design Small Banners image set for pennant banner
• Gray, brown, and white flocking powder
• Ribbon for bows and ground
• Rhinestone
• Mini Brads
• Twine

 If you haven't had a chance to yet, you can view my Father's Day card idea here.

Have a fabulous start of the week everyone!

Baa Baa: Happy Birthday Little One

Happy Saturday Everyone!

This will be a super quick post! I didn't think that I'd be back so soon, but I just had to enter the Birthday Sundaes Challenge at http://birthdaysundaes.blogspot.com/! This time, anything goes, but you just always gotta make sure to include a birthday themed sentiment. Here is a card that I made for my little cousin's birthday a while back. She's born in the year of the sheep, according to the Chinese Zodiac.

I used some cotton to make my lamb's wool. She's so fluffy! :) I used Crystal Accents for the eyes, mouth, nose, and on the heart in the balloon. For the sentiment, I used Stampin' Up's Think Happy Thoughts stamp set, and the cute lamb is cut from Create a Critter.

Enjoy your weekend everyone! This time, I really won't be back until mid-April since I'll be studying hard for exams!

Until next time's treasures,

New Recollections Goodies && A New Challenge

Hi everyone!

A few weeks back I went to my local Michael's and discovered new Recollections patterned packs. I LOVE Recollections paper so I was super thrilled about these! I picked up the Elegance Stack (50 sheets) & the Glittered stack (10 sheets).

They also had coloured animal print stacks (multi-coloured zebra and cheetah print) and primary and pastel coloured patterns - simple polka dots and plaid print. I'll definitely be back for those ones soon! Just wanted to do a quick share for you all about the new treasures I found, cuz I'm definitely loving these stacks! ;)

ALSO, there is a new blog which will be hosting birthday card challenges! Isn't that wonderful? We all need a stash of birthday cards to run to just in case a birthday pops up right? Kristie is currently looking for a design team, and you can find more info here: http://birthdaysundaes.blogspot.com/. Make sure to stop by her blog & give her some love! 

Happy trails to you && good luck!

Until next time's treasures,
