My Craft Spot Spring Stamp Release Blog Hop

Goodmorning and welcome to the My Craft Spot Spring Stamp Release Blog Hop! I hope you have been enjoying the beautiful sneak peeks Kimberly and the Design Team have been showcasing this week! What do you think of those stamps!?! I'm loving each and every one of them!

You should have arrived from the talented Ally at Rock Paper Cricut. If not, make sure you hop on over to My Craft Spot to start at the begining of the hop because you are not going to want to miss a stop! There are gorgeous projects and a set of stamps to be won at each stop...WooHoo!

My first project uses both Happily Ever After and Tiny Tags.

It is a baby boy card and I made it to show you how versatile the Happily Ever After Stamp Set can be! The little toy is cut from B is For Boy Cartridge.

I added a Tiny Tag with some Vintage Blue Bakers Twine. It is all layered onto MME Portobello Road pattern paper and Stampin' Up cardstock.

Across the bottom I used the "So happy for you" sentiment off of Happily Ever After and tied some Stormy Day Crinkle Ribbon.

Next I have a little spring card to share with you.

I absolutely LOVE the new Butterfly Kisses Stamp Set. I couldn't resist using this sentiment this week! I paired it with the cute little HG Rain, Rain Digi from The Greeting Farm and MME Jack & Jill pattern paper.

I layered the pp panels, sentiment, digi with dimensionals and added some Gold Seam Binding to finish it off!

My last card didn't turn out so nicely.

I saw a card like this at my Stampin' Up Demo's house and thought I could make it. Well, it turned out to be a lot harder to scraplift than I thought it would!

I LOVE the sweet treat cups, but have a hard time bringing myself to use them. It took me a while to figure out how to make it stand like a regular card but still get the M&Ms out!

A slider on a 3x3 attached to the card is what I ended up coming up with.

I thought after all the hard work, I would turn this into a Mother's Day Card. I used the "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment from the new Happy Easter set.

Ok, so what do you think so far? As promised I have a special stamp set to give away today. One LUCKY winner will win the Happy Easter Stamp Set! Please leave me a comment letting me know which is your favorite new stamp set! I'll draw the winner next week so stop back to see if you've won!

Well, thank you for hopping by today! There is a copy of the Blog Hop line-up below in case you get lost along the way. I also added my sneak peeks for the week in case you missed them! It is time for you to hop on to your next stop to see the amazing work from my talented friend

Goodmorning Everyone! It's Birthday Sundaes day! This week is Anything Goes Birthday sponsored by the super fun Circle B Enterprises Scrapbooking & More Store! One lucky winner is going to win a $20 store credit to the store! Please remember your card needs to be a birthday card and it needs to have a birthday sentiment/wording on the card front! Here is the Anything Goes Birthday Card I came up with for you today!

My daughter's were invited to a pirate party a week ago! It was so much fun because the party was held at a paddle boat park, then we took a ride down the river on the boat! It was such a great evening!

This is the pirate card I made for the little Pirate Captain who was turning 5! I made it within minutes of leaving for the party so it did not have all the details I had intended but it was still well received!

I used a 1/2" punch to highlight the 5 for the little guys age and added a Maraschino Bakers Twine accent.

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #1

It's an exciting day! Today is the opening challenge for the new challenge blog BIRTHDAY SUNDAES!!! These challenges are going to be so much fun because we all need Birthday cards! The challenge this week is Anything Goes Birthday and the Design Team has some fun cards to inspire you today! Kristie, the founder of Birthday Sundaes will be sponsoring the prize this week. This week you'll be playing for the chance to win the super cute Cupcake Ruby from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps!

Here is my Birthday Sundaes creation for this week!

I apologize for the light to dark pics this week. My baby E got a hold of my camera and did some major damage to the settings! I have gotten it back to where the pics are not all blurry but I still need to work on it! Anyway, I used Doodlecharms, an oldie but goodie cart for my first Birthday Sundae creation. I dug into my scrap pile for the Bo Bunny Sun Kissed Line as well as the coordinating Double Dot paper for this fun card.

I added tons of dimensionals to get lots and lots of layers. This isn't a card that is going to be mailed to anyone, that is for sure!! I may even have a hard time giving it away!

If you've visited my blog lately, you'll see that I've been playing with ribbon in some different ways! This cut has a little topper but I wanted something bigger, so I used my scissors to cut that off and added ribbon to the top!

And I added a little ribbon ruffle accent to the bottom of the hat too.

Here is an inside look at the hat. I sponged the circles, the bottom ribbon was sewn on and the top ribbons were taped onto this layer!

Products Used:

Stampin' Up! Solid CS, Ink, Ribbon(retired), Dimensionals, Birthday Stamp and Punches
Bo Bunny Sun Kissed and Double Dot Paper Lines
Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge (Party Hat)
B is for Boy Cricut Cartridge (Background)
Signo White Gel Pen
Michael's Ribbon

If you haven't already, stop by Birthday Sundaes to see all the creative cards from the rest of the DT and be sure to link up your fun cards! I can't wait to see your "Anything Goes Birthday Cards" this week and please let me know you were here! I love to hear from you!

We are packing up and heading out to the Great Wolf Lodge for a few days so I will see you again on Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Make A Wish Come True Snail Mail Card

This was in an email I received yesterday from the Pink By Design Newsletter...

Make a Wish Come True

Today we have been made aware of a little boy in Iowa who is fighting leukemia. We would like to participate in helping his wish coming true by encouraging all of you to use your creativity to make this happen. Here is what was posted on our Facebook page:

"Max Low is a 12 year old from Neola, Iowa. He has been battling cancer for half of his life. His doctors recently told his parents to enjoy the time they have left with him. His wish is to get 1 million cards. He has currently gotten about 23,000. If you would like to help Max get his wish, please send a get well card to the following address: Mighty Max Low, C/O Greg and Bambi Low, PO Box 111, Neola, IA 51559"

There was an article that was written about him in the Omaha World Herald in 2009 you can see it here

I have been very fortunate to be blessed with my children. I thank God everyday that besides a few broken bones, my kids are generally healthy. I could not even imagine the pain this family is going through and my heart and prayers go out to them. I really wanted to make a card to help Mighty Max reach his Max-a-Million goal! I am going to enter it into several challenges also to try to get the word out to as many people as possible! Let's help this kid's wish come true!!

I love this fabulous grass paper and also the cobblestone paper that I found in my scrap pile! My card became more of a "I want to make you Smile today" rather than a "Get Well" card. Doesn't the Snail sliding down the sidewalk remind you of Spring! Here is the little Snail Mail message he is carrying! I'll include my Get Well Message inside the card so it fits into Max's Goal!

Products Used:

Stampin' Up! Scrap CS, ribbon and punch for the Snail Mail
Scrap Pile pattern papers
B is for Boy Cricut Cartridge
My Pink Stamper More Punnylicious Stamp Set (snail mail)
Pink By Design Scripted Year Stamp Set (cherish today)
Signo White Gel Pen
Google Eyes

Challenges:

Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge B is for Boy/Sugar & Spice

The Paper Variety Get Well Soon Challenge

Creative Sisters Monday Challenge #3 Think Spring

Scraps 4 Fun Use Your Scraps Challenge

GAB Challenges #5 Color Challenge (Now this challenge was to use Pear Pizzaz, Early Expresso, and Crumb Cake but I did not have any scraps in these colors big enough to make the Snail. I tried to use a green, dark brown, and light brown to fit into the challenge and I hope this is close enough. If not, please feel free to remove my link for this challenge. Thanks ladies)

Wow! One card, 5 different challenge themes! I hope this gets the message out there and I hope it inspires you to make a card for Mighty Max so he can reach his Max a Million Card Goal! Thanks for stopping by today!

This card was a top pick at GAB Challenges

Thank you ladies!

Knoebels Scrapbook

Here is the scrapbook I am currently working on. All of the pages are very simple because I have a lot of pictures to fit into this book. We go to Knoebels Amusement Park several times every year. These pics are from one of our trips in 2009 (I am a bit behind).
