Rockin' Witch

It's Design Team Day over at Inking It Up Crazy. We were asked to make a project with our least used cartridge. My least used... or make that never used cartridge is Rock Princess.

Sentiments: Crafty Sprouts - Are you Ready to Rock
Charcoal twine - The Twinery
Cricut - Rock Princess
Cricut - Mini Monsters

Here's our adorable little Roxy girl. She's 6 years old and acts like a human. I know I'm to blame... I've spoiled her rotten. My hubby calls her our Miniature German Shepherd (and people always believe him). She's really a Chiwawa mix. 

 I made her a new food and water bowl.
Got the bowls for $1 at Big Lots.
 Top view
Front view

It's design time at Inking It Up Crazy. We were asked to make a home decor project (preferably out of vinyl). I've only done a few vinyl projects... and they're not that difficult. Transfer tape is a necessity (if it's a small area... masking tape works great too).

Why don't you give it a try??? Go ahead and link up your home decor project over at Inking It Up Crazy.

Items Used:
Bowls (Big Lots $1)
Black Vinyl
Paper Pups Cricut Cartrdige
Transfer tape and masking tape

Feliz dia de los Abuelitos

Are you ready for a little sneak peak???
I'm on Scrapbookaholic by Abby's design team for her new line of stamps, "Dilo en Espanol."
 
My in-laws are primarily Spanish speakers and I LOVE... LOVE... LOVE... all the different sentiments and images that Scrapbookaholic by Abby has designed. The stamp line is not yet open to the public... but stay tuned... I'll have more sneak peaks and info for you as the month goes on.
My girls miss their grandparents so much! They've got three sets of grandparents and they all live between 7-14 hours away. In fact... my mom and step dad are about to take on a huge adventure and move to China for a whole year :O  I don't know if I'll be able to handle it. I call my mom often (daily... okay... okay... usually more than once a day). China has a good 15 hour difference from California so Skype and Facebook will be the best resources for our family.

BTW... I know I've been playing out my Twinkle Toes Cart lately... but I can't help it!!! These two look EXACTLY like my baby girls =) Aren't they just adorable???

Items used:
Scrapbookaholic by Abby's line of stamps, "Dilo en Espanol - Que Siga La Fiesta"
My Creative Time's - Scalloped & Stiched Circle Die
Peachy Keen Stamps - Princess Face Assortment
Paper, buttons, and ribbon from my stash
Twinkle Toes Cricut Cartridge
Paper Dolls for Everyday

Halloween sweeties

Sep 2, 2011


I just did a HUGE order of stamps and dies from My Creative Time and I've been dying to use them. I also won these super cute Peachy Keen stamps last year and I forgot I had them. Although challenges only require one card... I couldn't leave out one these cute characters... so I made 4 cards.


I've been wanting to get some Copic markers so I can do more coloring projects but they're expensive and I can't see paying that much right now (if you know of a good deal... please share). Instead... I had to settle with my $2 Crayola Colored Pencils. But I think it turned out pretty good =)

Items used:
Last year's Halloween paper stash
Bling from my stash
White Gel Pen
Peachy Keen Stamps - PK-632 Halloween Sweet Folks
My Creative Time - Scallop & Stitched Dies
My Creative Time - Gift Card Sentiments (black stitching)
My Creative Time - Mixed Holiday Sentiments

I'm entering these projects into:

My Creative Time: Thursday Throwback Challenge - Cricutless challenge create a card using the colors purple, orange, green, and black 
More Than Favors - Wacky Wednesday #49, Halloween
Party Time Tuesdays  - Anything Goes
Patches of Pink Link up party
