I bought a Cricut Imagine....

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Been super busy with school out and summer on the way. Well I finally broke down and bought a Cricut Imagine this weekend, now I have to wait. I am excited to see all of the new features that my Big E does not have, though a little nervous about figuring it out. As soon as it comes in, I will be sure to post my project.

Hope you all had a great and safe weekend!

My Pink Stamper--Challenge #9--Use Glitz, Glam and Glitter in your project!

Okay so this is my last one....
I was not patient enough to let it dry, but the "fabulous" has glimmer mist and glossy accents and the shoe has black glitter glue. I will post another picture when it dries, but this will have to do for know so that it qualifies for the challenge.


My Pink Stamper--Challenge #8--Make a summer themed project!

The challenge deadline is MIDNIGHT!!
Gives me a little more time. I made this card using Forever Young, first time I have used this cartridge. I am liking making the cards, very quick and gratifying.
Hope you like it!

My Pink Stamper--Challenge #7--Make a Scrapbook Page!

This is the last of the challenges I was able to complete this weekend, though still have a little time to make some of the others, though with back to work tomorrow I don't see it happening, but we will see. I hope you enjoyed all the challenge items I posted. Please email me or leave a comment if you have any questions.

My Pink Stamper--Challenge #6--Incorporate a TAG into your project!

Super Cute Birdies! First project using Straight from the Nest! HELLO!

My Pink Stamper--Challenge #5- Any 3-D item OR if that is too much of a challenge then add a 3-D item on your scrapbook page or card!

Absolutely LOVE the way these turned out....I made these grunge flowers using acetate, alcohol inks, cuttlebug and glue gun. My girls couldn't stop talking about them. WARNING: Be very careful with the hot glue because it will melt the acetate.

My Pink Stamper--Challenge #4: Make something with a Mother's Day Theme!

This is the card I made for my mom for today. I used some new glimmer mist and Tim Holtz distress inks. I also made the flower out of the Grunge Paper and it made an awesome embelishment. I used teh 5 petal flower on the George and Basice Shapes Cartridge and cut the grunge paper with multicut function on cricut. I only had to cut the grunge paper two times. The video to make the flowers I found one day on youtube.

My Pink Stamper--Challenge #3--Make a card, scrapbook page, or 3-D item with a breast cancer theme

I copied the technique shared on the video using Plantin Schoolbook and my Gypsy to make the pink ribbon. Very Simple, but fun!

My Pink Stamper-Challenge #2--Make a card or scrapbook page using Kraft cardstock.

This card used kraft card with a kraft tag using the resist technique I have posted before. It turned out great though this picture does not show all the detail. I used embossing powder on the kraft tag to create resist effect. I also used versamark for the flourish and used Perfect Pearls in pearl to add some glimmer.

My Pink Stamper--Challenge #1 - Anything Cupcake!!!

I made this card using the Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge and the Cuttlebug for the icing. Added some stickles for BLING!

National Scrapbook Day 2011

Hello!
I have not been on my blog in a while and do apologize because I had a ton of comments needing to be posted. Anyway.....I hope all of you enjoyed National Scrapbook Day! I started my day with shopping at Archivers (AGAIN...I had a coupon and they had some cool make in takes! LOL!) and then visited a local scrapbook store For Keeps Sakes that was giving away a Tim Holtz Vagabond. Well I didn't win, but they had some cool games like a cake walk but only giving away scrapbook items! Overall, had a great trip!

After I got home I became inspired to try the challenges with one of my favorite blogs, My Pink Stamper. I did not get all of the challenges done, but 7 out of 12 isn't bad, plus the more challenges you complete and post, the more chances you have to win a Cricut Imagine!!!!! So if you are reading this today, the deadline is Monday, May 9, 2011 in the PM, head on over to www.mypinkstamper.com. There are really some great videos for inspiration.

I hope you all had a great day! PS, Happy Mother's Day!
