Kids Birthday theme

Celebrate the Occasion is a new challenge blog that I recently came across.  This is their first challenge and they will also  be having a blog hop on Sat.the 12th. The theme for this challenge is "Kids Birthday".  Lately everything has been about Valentines Day so it was nice to do something different. This is a layout of my grandson's 4th birthday.
The cartridge I used was Birthday Bash and the papers were  from Imaginisce, Coordinations, and SU. The ribbon and the buttons were found in my stash

Nontraditional Valentines Day card

 This is a more non-traditional Valentine , great for a guy.  It's a 4.25 x 5.5in card. The squirrels are cut at 1.75 in and is from the Give a Hoot cart. The brown paper is from Bazzill and I stamped it using the choc chip ink and heart stamp from SU. The striped paper is from Making Memories, ribbon from SU and the flowers are from my stash. The sentiment is from ThePink Stamper and I used my I-rock to add a few gems.

I'm entering this into a few challenges:

Valentine's Day project

I love sending my son, who's away at college, little surprises every so often, I know how much fun it is to get happy mail :)   So I made this for him for Valentines Day and will fill  it with chocolates, I may even stick some cash in there and really surprise him!!
The box is from the Tags,Bags, Boxes and More cut with the fit to page.  The scalloped hearts were made using the Nestiblities, I used MS white flocking on the big heart and sprayed Glimmer Mist on the red one. The heart on the top I heat embossed with red embossing powder. The paper, heart stamp, heart punch( the smaller hearts) and red ink is all from SU.  The ribbon is from my stash, my son is a Music Ed major so I thought it was fitting.
I entering this into a challenge over at Crafting with Cristina. The challenge was to make a Valentine project that was Not a card.

White Space - Day 340

Here's a White Space challenge from 365 Cards blog.  You had to use this sketch for your project. This card is square, the size is 4.75 x 4.75. The paper, stamps and ink is all from Stampin' Up.  I recently became a demonstrator for SU , so I'll be using alot of their products from now on. I do love their product!!  The cart I used are Mini Monograms and Indie Art and I embossed the heart with the Cuttlebug.

Flaunt it Friday #10

This week over at tha Flaunt it Friday's blog the challenge was to Flaunt the lips from the Indie Art cart. The card is a standard 4.25 x 5.5. And all  the paper, ink and stamp used is by Stampin' Up.  The patterned paper started out as plain white, I used Red Cobbler ink  and a heart stamp  to create the pattern.  The  carts used for this card are Mini Monograms and Indie Art.

Disney Autographs

I finished up the rest of the autograph books for my nieces and nephew. Now they will be ready to meet the Disney gang :) These books are made with the Your Story Photo and the Mickey Mouse Font cartridge.

Wacky Wednesday #24

I have a brother and sister that are taking their kids to Walt Disney World next week. Being the great aunt that I am , I thought it would be fun for them  to have autograph books. When I took my son, 14 yrs ago, we had a blast getting all the character's signatures.
I made this with the Your Story Photo machine, it is the  4 x 6 book. The cart I used is the Mickey Mouse Font. The tag is cut at 2.5 x 5, Minnie is 2in and the letters are 1in and then welded with the Gypsy.I used a white gel pen for the stitching.
I am submitting this for the Wacky Wednesday Challenge at More Than Favors. The challenge was to use the colors yellow, blue and white  in your project. Now I'm off to make 4 more of these, each with a different Disney character.
