A Fun Card!

I have a little story about this card...

Paula over at More than Favors has a color challenge, turquoise, red and white. I thought great!

Until I realized picking turquoise out of paper is tough! I ended up calling in my Husband who does not get involved in my crafting stuff unless it is so say something like... why is there glitter on my chair??

So anyway he sat down with me and we flipped through the paper packs and he felt this was as close to turquoise as you can get with the paper I own. So we had some good quality crafting time together LOL! (Poor Guy)

I built the card around his color choice and came up with this:

 How cool is this stamp?

Cookies for Santa and Something Gross!!

I made this gingerbread man to look like he is on the plate left out for Santa! I used white paint for the frosting, I tried to use white flock but it didn't work. Ran him through the Mosaic Cuttlebug Folder and used a silver gel pen for around the plate. The "for Santa" is from the Wild Card Cartridge I just cut them with the Cricut markers.Gingerbread Man is from From My Kitchen.

Cheer! Lay-out!

 Most of you already know how much I dislike male sports!! Mostly because I have girls...they have cheered for the last few years so instead of torturing myself my making a male sport project, I decided to do a girl themed sport project! 

  I used Hello Kitty for the Hello Kitty Cheerleader, and the rest is stickers, and chipboard that I covered. I also cut some pieces from their Pom Poms and added it to the page.

Blog Hop Day 5 !!

Welcome Blog Hop Day 5!!

My girls have to read tons of books for school! They have an advanced reader program and you have to stick with a strict schedule to complete the reading requirements and every book has a level, a quiz number and a point value. Because I am a control freak, I labeled all our books with post it notes and wrote out all the info and stuck it to the inside of the book. ( I know I know I have a problem!) Anyways~~ I noticed them using my post it note as a book mark, and my problem with that is by the time they get to the end of the book, the post it note is no longer sticky and is lost.... so I decided to make them special book marks to use instead!!

These were fun and easy to make! All you need is some jumbo paper clips, some liquid glue and about a cut about 1 1/2" cut both ways.

I used DoodleCharms for the Apple cut at 1 1/2".
I cut it once in green for the leaf, then in brown for the stem, and then again in red.
I then hit the flip button and re-cut all the cuts so that I could glue the apple together around the paper clip and have both sides covered.
I used Scotch Quick dry adhesive to keep it all together.

I also did the same thing using Paper Pups, since our school mascot is the tiger, but because we are an elementary school we use the tiger paw and our colors are orange and black so I made these for my girls, and the apples for the teachers.
