Dancing Birthday Girl!

This is the card that I made for me daughter's birthday. It has all her favorite colors in it and she loves to dance so this was perfect for her.

I used an Action Wobble to make her dance. Here is a video of this dancing birthday girl.

Oh Come Let Us Adore Him

Merry Christmas to all of my papercrafting friends. I wanted to share my religious Christmas card. I'm so thankful that today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. Christmas blessings to you all!

This is a window card. I hid the outer layer of the cut in my Gypsy. The second sheet is attached with a thin line of adhesive. It is patterned on one side and white on the other and makes it perfect for writing inside the card. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about. Diane at Capadia Designs does a great job with this. She has an awesome step by step photo tutorial on how to do this. You should definitely check it out.

Items Used:

Inspired Heart Cricut Lite Cartridge

Gypsy

Patterned Paper - Provo Craft (donated by a sweet neighbor)

Ribbon

Computer generated sentiment

Cool Pal!

Snow, snow, rain and snow! We have had lots of rain and snow this week. I think we will definitely be having a white Christmas. I've had this card designed in Design Studio for 2 years and never got around to cutting it. I converted it to a Gypsy file and cut it out today. I like how it turned out, but I am a little Disney crazy. I cut it out using blue, green and brown so it could be part of the My Pink Stamper Color Challenge.

I attached this cute snowman with an ACTION WOBBLE!!!! If you are new to following my site, an Action Wobble is a collapsible spring that brings movement and life to your projects. They have a Facebook page that you can join as well. There are lots of fun projects and some information that has been posted over there. Click HERE to go to the Facebook link.

Here is a short video showing this dancing Mickey Snowman.

Peachy Keen Challenge and News

I have some WONDERFUL and VERY exciting Peachy Keen Stamps news. I was lucky to be chosen as a Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer for 2011. This means that the week of August 22-26th, 2011, you will see a week full of Peachy Keen fun on my blog. My posts for that week will also be posted on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. I will also get to give away a Peachy surprise donated by Peachy Keen Stamps during my guest week. I'm so happy. I love Peachy Keen Stamps. I've tried out for a few design teams in the past and haven't made the cut. Although this is only a guest designer position I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for the opportunity Peachy Keen Stamps! And thanks to all of you for endulging me in this little celebration. For a full list of Guest Designer's Visit Peachy Keen Stamps Blog.

I made a card for the current Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. The challenge was to do some embossing on your project. I finally found me the Polka Dot Cricut embossing folder and decided to try it out. This is a shape card made with the Very Merry Tags Cricut cartridge. So yes, it is supposed to be a tag, but I thought it would make a cute shape card.

I love snow people and these Peachy Keen Stamps make her look SO cute. I also love my twine. I think it definitely adds to her scarf.

I have had a bunch of people ask me about the twine. I have bought mine at a local scrapbooking store for 15 cents a yard. They have twine from both The Twinery and Divine Twine. However, I found an awesome sampler pack that The Twinery offers. It is $14.95 for 120 yards of twine in all 8 colors. Shipping was reasonable, so if you are in the market for some twine this is a great deal. Just click HERE to go to this offer.

Wrapping Things Up

The Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face it Friday challenge was to use a Peachy Keen face stamp and a paper bag. I need to get some wrapping done so I made some wrapping paper and a tag.

Unfortunately I let my neighbor borrow my stamps that have the to: and from: on them so I had to hand write it. It looks alright but the stamps would have been nicer. I added an Action Wobble to the tag, so here is a short video demonstrating the wobble-man tag.
