Queen Kat Contest Phase 2

Hi all!  I am in the running for a Design Team position over at Queen Kat Designs, for this phase we were to design one card and one altered project.  Well, I couldn't decide what I wanted to do for the altered project, so I did 2 of those PLUS a card.  Over achiever I know...HAHA!

#1- Your So Sweet Card

I decided to do another inside out card.  I had so much fun with it yesterday and I thought I was so cleaver with this sentiment I couldn't help but show it off.  I didn't have anything I liked, so I actually printed the sentiment using my MS Word.  I think this little monster will make a sweet little Valentine for a young boy.

#2- Sweet Cookies

This little cutie just begged for me to bake something for her to adorn.  I made this little treat bag and used Cookie the Baker to decorate it.  She is such a special little baker she deserved lots of sparkle and bling.

 

 Unfortunately, when I went to load the cookies into the cellophane bag inside the box, the frosting got a bit smooshed.  I had visions of a pretty heart cookie in the window, so lets just pretend it didn't smear all over the bag, ok? Ok!

#3 - Sparkling Fairy Treasure Box

If you have little girls in your life then you have lots of "gems" and treasures around your house.  We try to keep all the dress up clothes and jewelry in one bin, but that rarely works, so MAYBE if they have a fairy treasure box will keep all their precious jewels in it.

 

 

You can see there is a lot of sparkle to this box.  I had to be sure to have 2 fairies on the box, my little pink fairy and my little purple one.  I wonder what color fairy I will have to add when Peanut is old enough to have an opinion.

I have had fun coming up with projects for this contest.  I wish everyone the best of luck.  Now where do I send these bribe cookies? ;)

A Sweet Little Valentine

I wanted to show you a little Valentine I made tonight.  I thought I would make one in pink and one in purple for each of the twins, but I'm not sure if I am willing to let them have a card like this, it's too cute.  haha. 

What you can't really see is that I highlighted her hair, all the fairy dust, outlined the clothes and any gray lines in the background paper with my Stardust Gel Pen giving this card a lot of glitz.

Friday Fun #60

Since we are in the midst of the Holiday Season and the all the celebrating and food that goes along with it, our challenge this week was to make a card with food on it.  This is a quickie card using Lili's Sleepover from Inky Impressions.  Notice that Lily is holding a bowl of popcorn perfect for stringing up and putting on the tree.

What you can't see in the photo is how glitterific this card is.  I highlighted all the white areas of the Cottage Wall Decorative Paper with my Stardust Gel Pen.  The sparkle adds enough of a high light that no other accessories were needed.

Friday Fun #54

This week our challenge is to think outside the box, or more actually about a box.  We had to make a box instead of a card.  I used the Tutorial found on SplitCoastStampers for a Box in a Bag.  I just got my latest order from Inky Impressions and had planned to make a little gift for a friend of mine this month, so this project all come together nicely.

Aren't these the cutest socks?  I got them at BJ's for myself a while back and went back and bought more as gifties because I LOVE them so much.  I think it is a simple and cute way to show support, and I love wearing cute socks.  My twins will actually pick out my socks for me in the morning, and if any of these are in there that's what they will pick.  

 This is the cute little package I made for them.  They fit perfectly and I will probably go add some pink candy before delivering the package.

There she is, my cute little Lili packaging up the socks.  Normally I would say that the pinks do not all match and would shy away from combining them, but when it comes to Pink Ribbon projects anything goes.  Let's get a closer look at the details on Lili.

I highlighted her headband and buttons and the ribbon with the stardust gel pen.  You can see all the great details in these stamps.  It makes them absolutely adorable and it also means that it takes a while to color, but that's ok.  They are just too cute.

Inky Impressions 2nd Design Team Call

Hi all. I found the cutest little girl stamps last week that I just had to order, and they happened to have a design team call as well, so I figured I would apply just so that I can get the chance to play with these little girls. Here is my first card using Inky Impressions stamps.

Isn't she just adorable? When Mackenzie and Reganne saw the images they were convinced they had stamps made that looked just like them. I had to get that sentiment too. The girls will often say, "Mom, did you forget to remember..." I swear these stamps really were made just for my girls.

Here is a shot of which markers I used to color LiLi.

Since my Inky Impressions stamps just arrived yesterday I prepared a second project earlier in the week using my newest Bella, Fashionistabella.
I am really proud of this little sewing kit. I don't normally sew on my cards because I don't want to go through all my sewing supplies to find everything. I figured that by making up this little tin I would have just enough to sew on my cards. This particular kit will be going out as a RAK so I added some ribbon, thread, needles and button.

Oh, but look at that thread. Yes, I made the thread card using my spiral punch. I feel so innovative.

A shot of the markers I used.


I actually used the E74 with the airbrush system to color the top metal edge of the tin. I love the way it colored the tin but left the metallic effect. I didn't get a good picture of the side of the tin to see the ribbon I wrapped around it. Sorry about that.
