Disney Week - Winnie Baby - Project 2

Hi everyone, and welcome to Disney week!  This is not a hop... it is just a group of  crafters who have decided to  post Disney related projects on our sites this week (including Hello Kitty, Pixar, Pooh, Sesame Street, etc.) Some people might post a new project every day; others may only get a few projects out all week, but we will all be showcasing DISNEY (or some other animated character).

There is a link list at the bottom of this post of all the Disney crafters playing along. Feel free to visit us this week and be inspired.  Here is my second project:

I love Winnie the Pooh :)  I cut him from the Pooh Font - it has all these cute baby Pooh cuts on it.  The  card stock is from Recollections and the patterned paper is Creative Memories.  I bought the buttons at Walmart, they came is a giant pack, so I am starting to use buttons more!  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper, one of her original stamp sets.




A challenge or two for my cute little card:
Anything Goes Challenge - anything goes
Catch the Bug - anything goes
Divas by Design - anything goes
Simon Says Stamps - use your favorite tool (my Cricut and Gypsy girl)
Bloggers Challenge - to "die" for
Throwback Thursday - any project using an old Cricut cartridge

Disney Week - Minnie Card

Hi everyone, and welcome to Disney week!  This is not a hop... it is just a group of  crafters who have decided to  post Disney related projects on our sites this week (including Hello Kitty, Pixar, Pooh, Sesame Street, etc.) Some people might post a new project every day; others may only get a few projects out all week, but we will all be showcasing DISNEY (or some other animated character).

There is a link list at the bottom of this post of all the Disney crafters playing along. Feel free to visit us this week and be inspired.  Here is my first project:

My daughter's best friend had a birthday this week.  She just came home from Disney, so naturally, Minnie Mouse seemed the way to go.  She is cut from Mickey and Friends.  The paper is a mix of Stampin Up and Recollections.  The buttons are from Walmart and the sentiment stamp is form TPC Greetings, which I picked up on sale at my LSS.  I followed a sketch for this card - sketches are tricky for me, but I have been enjoying trying them, it pushes me out of my comfort zone a bit...

I will have another Disney project for you tomorrow - at least I hope I will :)  I plan to have a few hours in my craft room, let's hope that works out...




A challenge or two for my little card:
Stamps a Lot Challenge - birthday
Stampin Sisters in Christ - a joyful card that celebrates something
My Sheri Crafts - birthday card for under 5
Deconstructed Sketch - number 46

Peachy Keen Bunny Basket

So,  I'm back with Easter post #2 - It;s a submission for this week's sketch challenge at Peachy Keen.  I am trying to enter this challenge every week - it encourages me to use all those cute PK faces all the time!  Here is what I came up with for this week's challenge:

Isn't it cute??  This cut is from Baby Steps - one of those cuts you wouldn't even know was there if you weren't looking at the book.  I used PK Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed for my bunny's cute face, doodled her up with my Sakura Jelly Roll pen, and VOILA!  A cute little card for my niece.  The paper is all from my scraps box.  I know I bought the Jelly Bean paper last year, but have no clue what company made it.  The sentiment stamp is from CTMH.

A challenge or two for my little bunny card:
Peachy Keen - sketch
Glitter Geeks - easter
Raise the Bar - cutesy easter
Simply Create - eggs or bunnies
My Mum's Craft Shop - easter animals
Mema's Crafts - some bunny loves you

Easter Chick

Happy Easter everyone!  I have two posts for today, before I get into my first Disney post.  I had every intention of posting both these projects yesterday, but it has been a busy weekend, so I haven't had a chance till now.  I made a number of Easter cards this year.  I will share two now, but the rest will wait until after Disney Week.  Here is the card I made for my son:

It is a window card.  I created her on my Gypsy, following a tutorial I saw on-line.  I will have to try to find it, so I can give credit!  I used the chick and egg from CAC and the scalloped card is welded together from Elegant Edges.  I welded the shadows of the chick and the egg to the front frame.  I love it, and think it's so so clever!  The sentiment stamp is from CTMH.  I used the face from PK Critter Faces - I think I may need to invest in something other than the medium set - maybe the large or extra large??

A challenge or two for my chickie card:

Fantabulous Cricut - project with an egg

Scrappy Frogs - shape card

Crafty Calendar - egg-stra special

Crazy 4 Challenges - blue, white and one other color (yellow is my other main color)

Aud Sentiments - "happy easter"

52 Weeks of Tags - April Showers

Happy Friday everyone!  It is challenge day at 52 Weeks of Tags.  This week Janis challenged us to make a tag celebrating April Showers.  April is one of my favorite months of the year.  My birthday is the 8th and my son's is the 25th, it often has Easter, and is, usually, the end of winter here in Nova Scotia, and winter is my least favorite season, so all in, lots to celebrate.   Here is my tag:

 The tag is cut at 4.5 inches from Plantin Schoolbook.  I cut the girl from A Child's Year at 3 inches.  The ribbon is from Michaels.  The sentiment is from a Close to my Heart set.  I stamped some flourishes on the background paper.  They are from a CTMH set as well.  You can see the flourishes a little better in the picture below.

I hope you all hop over to Pause Dream Enjoy, see what the DT came up with, and play along with us.  Tags are so fun and rewarding to make, they come together so quickly!

A few challenges for my little tag:

Paper Playtime - umbrella cut

Paper Pretties - april showers

Victorine Challenges - april showers

Crafting for all Seasons - april showers

Inky Impressions - april showers

Little Red Wagon - umbrella

Gift Card and Disney Week

Happy Thursday everyone!  I have a fun, quick project to share with you today, and a fun announcement about next week.  Here is the gift card that I made for my niece:

Isn't that CUTE??  The gift card is cut from Miss Emma's Gift Card die and the Happy Birthday stamp is from the co-ordinating Gift Card Sentiment set.  The "Woo!Hoo!" is from Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments.  I cut the adorable puppy from Create a Critter, and her face is from Peachy Keen's Critter Faces.  I doodled on her with my Sakura gel pen, and used my SU pastels, to give her a smidge of color.

Now, for my fun announcement!

Join us the week of Sunday, April 8th thur Saturday, April 14th for a week full of projects featuring:

Disney, Winnie the Pooh, Sesame Street, Pixar, & other such characters we all LOVE!  I might even throw in so Hello Kitty, you all know how I feel about her ;)

This is NOT a blog hop.  All of the crafters participating in DISNEY WEEK will provide a list of all our friends also posting Disney projects this week. You can visit as many as you'd like at your convenience.

We may not have a new project every day of the week posted, but you can be assured that all projects we post that week will be somehow Disney related.

We are so excited! We can't wait to show you what we are up to in the craft room!

Hope you will stop by!

Peachy Keen Candy Basket

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Sorry things have been a little quiet here over the past few days, I loaned a friend my laptop last week, and only just got it back about 2 hours ago.  Today, I decided to play along in Peachy Keen's Challenge, and am squeaking in under the wire.  The challenge was to make a candy holder.  Here is what I came up with:

I decided to make my daughter a little Easter basket.  The handle of the basket used my Threading Water punch and that cute little pink and white bunny paper was just sitting in my Scrap box.  I cut the bunny from Birthday Bash and stamped her face with Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed from Peachy Keen.  I drew in some whiskers, doodled with my Sakura jelly roll and gave her pink ears and pink paws.   The sentimetn is from Simply Sweet Stamps.  I decided to use some twine to give her a little bow.  I think she is really cute :)
Tomorrow I am going to make a little basket for my son.  I think I may make one with a chick....

I will be back tomorrow to play along with some challenges, but for now, I need to go to bed!  I have had 5 hours sleep since Monday morning at 6 am, and my bed is calling my name!   Thanks for dropping by!!
