Turned Gypsy Secret Winner! :)

Last week I was informed that I was one ofTurned Gypsy'ssecret winner and I got my package today! Woohoo! I was so excited to see that it was a Papercrafting book! I love it! I cannot wait until I am able to make a project from here. I'll of course, post it up. :) Thank you so much for this wonderful gift! :)

Scrapbookaholic Challenge :)

I've been doing the whole "mommy" and student thing all day and was starting to get cranky so I decided to take a break and do a little blog hopping and ended up at Scrapbookaholic by Abby's blog and fell in love with her sketch and figured I might as well take a shot at her sketch layout. It is her first challenge and I can't wait to see what others come up with. I made a "Girl's Night" layout using my Stamp-a-bella that I received in November and haven't used yet! Talk about wasteful! =) Hope you enjoy :)

Ice Cream cone Card

I used Sweet Treats to make this awesome Ice Cream cone birthday card for my nephew today and completely fell in LOVE with this cart! Perfect for birthdays AND summer! Doesn't this ice cream cone look good enough to eat?? LOL. It is cut using the "Fit to Page" feature (which I believe is 11 1/4"),I used glitter paper for the layers and embossed the bottom of the ice cream cone with my swirly folder on my Cuttlebug. I should have taken a pic of the inside of the card BEFORE we signed it but it's nothing too personal so I'll go ahead and post it. :)

Mommy and Me layout

I went to Michael's today in search for some pink paper and saw that they had this awesome "handmade" paper pack on sale and couldn't pass it up. :) This layout was almost too easy, all I had to do was add on one flower (from the chipboard cutouts it came with), adhere the background to white cardstock and cut out Mommy and Me in Storybook font. I put them a little crooked because I didn't want it to be perfect, but such a cute layout for a wonderful picture I will add on of me and my daughter :)

Forever Young Purse

Ok- I am now officially ADDICTED to making anything 3D from the cartridges. LOL. While my husband watched a movie, I played with Forever Young and absolutely fell in love with it's purses. Now i'm just hoping that my daughter will grow up to be really girly so I can have an excuse to make them more often! :)

Sweet Treats Cupcake Holder

Today I got a little bored and decided I wanted to play around with the Sweet Treats cartridge and make a cupcake holder. I have some AWESOME ideas for this cart for my son's upcoming birthday and my sister in law's baby shower but for the heck of it, I quickly threw a batch of cupcakes in the oven and decided to just make a holder to see if I could even do it. It was a success. Especially with my son! LOL. Isn't he sooooooo cute??! :)) It's very simply decorated but i'm very confident I will be able to rock these out for his upcoming party!

Once Upon a Princess Handbook idea :)

My friend over at Kricut Krazy is giving the opportunity to guest design the ideas from certain cartridges that she doesn't have. I went ahead and made the Once Upon a Princess one just for her blog but think I'd like to show it off here too! :) This is my first 3-D project and i'm so excited by how simple it was! Hope you enjoy! :)
