Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to be able to have a post today!!! It's actually a very special day (I will explain in a bit).  I really have missed crafting these days. It's been one thing after another, sick family members and friends, busy with the girls cheerleading and traveling for competitions.  I am actually away in a competition today which is why today is special! But I'm looking forward to get back in the groove of crafting and participating in some challenges.

So here's why today is so special.  United Rock Nation All Star Cheer is in Orlando competing for a National Championship title.  This gym has 5 teams competing today!  It is the best thing that has happened to my girls and they are so happy to be there.

My girls are in two different teams and I as a cheer mom have taken the role of "crafty mom".  It's been customary to create door hangers to give to the kids during each away competition (not literally door hangers, but that's what they've called them), which are memoirs that the kids can tape to their doors and collect them.  There is one for each away competition and I wanted to share this one with you all since it is St. Patrick's Day and I used my Cameo to create.  It was super simple but extremely time consuming (I made 115 of these).  The last away competition was in Dallas and I did create something which I'll share with you at a later post.

I purchased the image from My Graphico (designed by Stockberry Studio) and used my print and cut feature on the Cameo.  Maybe one day I will be brave and do a video for you all :).   I'm not very good with software I must say, but I managed to pull this off, not so much for the image, but the wording.  Believe it or not I used a scrapbook software to create the wording and add to the silhoutte software.  Then I just asked my pretty little cameo to cut around the images and words by adding the shamrock image from the silhoutte store.  I highly recommend the Cameo.  It's so nice to have for a simple project like this (especially when you are making large quantities!).  Can you imagine the things that you can create with it????

Thanks for stopping by.  I wish you all a very happy St. Patrick's day and good luck to United Rock Nation!

Crafty Sprouts: Case Our DT!

 Welcome everyone to another Crafty Sprouts' Challenge! This week's challenge will be super fun because what is required is to case another Crafty Sprouts Design Team member!  What this means is look for a card that one of the DT members has created and copy the style/layout or be inspired by colors, image, style, etc. I chose to case Elsa and here's the card she made:

You can see it and get more information on it by clicking here

I cased her card to be the same shape and use an Meljen's image as she did.  Those images are just adorable and honestly I would have never found them if it wasn't for her!   I also like her, used my cameo to cut the image. It does make it so much easier to work with digis (thanks for the tip Elsa!)

Here is the inside of the card.  I used a sentiment from the Smile On set. 

So don't forget to visit the rest of the design team members to see who you will case for this challenge.  They all have done a wonderful job with their projects and I know it will be hard to pick!  There is an awesome prize up for grabs and you don't want to miss out on it!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day and a great weekend!

Friends' Valentines Day Card and Winner of Recap Hop

Hi everyone! here again with a cute card made with Crafty Sprouts and Peachy Keen Stamps! I used the PKS stamp of the month set and I'm so glad that I got them! These images are perfect for any sweet card and not just valentines day and go perfectly with Crafty Sprouts' Besties for life set.  I colored the image with my Promarkers (which I haven't used in a while but was so happy to bring them back out!) and punched some hearts out of glittery red paper.  I also used my Cameo to cut out the heart shape card.  The paper is from BoBunny, which is an awesome paper for valentine's day.  The inside of the card is the same pattern as the paper the sentiment is stamped on.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

• Peachy Challenge: Kickoff Linky Party 

Now for the winner of the Crafty Sprouts Recap Blog Hop.... Random.org chose #11.....

Fanpire Bookmarks

Hi there! I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!  I wanted to share these cute bookmarks I made for my daughters who just love the Twilight series.  I found the big paper clips at Staples and thought they were big enough to add something on top and use for a bookmark.  Crafty Sprout's Fanpire set has some great stamps to create bookmarks for the little Fanpire in your life!  I also used My Creative Time's Scalloped and Stitched circle die set.
