Celebrate the Occasion #18- Birthday

It's Tuesday and another fun challenge at Celebrate the Occasion!  This week we are celebrating Birthday's and most of you know, I love Birthday projects!  The challenge is to make a birthday project but it must have a Party Hat!  I have had several request for my Party Hat card so I thought I would show it off in a different color scheme!

I have more details HERE on how to make this fun card!  The Crinkle Ribbon was so much nicer to work with for the bottom ruffle than the ribbon used on the last card.  It is from My Craft Spot and you can check out all the fabulous colors for sale by heading to My Craft Spot!

 I do like the old color combo better but my daughter is in love with this one (can you guess what her favorite color is)!

 Product Used:

• Stampin' Up! Solid CS, Ink, Dimensionals, and Punches
• Cosmo Cricket Pixie-Licious Paper Line
• Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge (Party Hat)
• B is for Boy Cricut Cartridge (Background)
• My Craft Spot Sweet Sentiments #1 Set "Happy Birthday" Stamp
• My Craft Spot Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon
• Signo White Gel Pen
• Michael's Ribbon

I hope you'll join us this week at Celebrate the Occasion for your chance to win the monthly prize!  Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #8

***SCROLL DOWN FOR TEACHER APPRECIATION BLOG HOP***

Welcome to week #8 at Birthday Sundaes!  I am camping this weekend with my family but I managed to put together a quick card to inspire you this week!  The challenge this week is a recipe challenge!!  The recipe is 3 embellishments and 2 pattern papers!  My fellow Design Team members have come up with some amazing cards using the recipe!  Here is mine!

My 3 embellishments are a clip from Stampin' Up!, a feather boa, and black licorice Bakers Twine from My Craft Spot!  I used my favorite paper line Mr. Campy from Cosmo Cricket for my 2 pattern papers!

The buzzard is from Life is a Party Cricut Cartridge.  Thank you Judy for the inspiration for this guy!  Click HERE to see her card!  Isn't he perfect an Over the Hill card! 

Both sentiments on my card are part of the clear set from My Craft Spot called Inside & Out Set #1 which has a sentiment for the inside and outside of your card!  How cool is that!

I hope you will join us this week for our recipe challenge at Birthday Sundaes!  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!  Thanks for stopping by!

Camping Trip LO

Today the girls and I worked on a quick camping layout.  My kids love looking at past photos and today we picked out a camping trip to scrapbook.  There a lot of trips to choose from and we decided on my oldest E's 1st camping trip.  It was cute because my middle E kept looking at the pics and asking "where me in this picture" and then we have to go through the whole explanation that God didn't give her to us until after this trip and the questions go on and on!  Anyway, I wanted to make a special LO just for the Crazy about Cricut challenge to create a project specifically for the challenge about something you love.  I love crafting (and would like to win the cart) but I, or I should say we, really LOVE camping.

Like my tent?  I had to give it tent stakes because when I think of camping I remember that I always stub my toes on those darn things!   Another funny part of this LO is that I have a camper and a tent on there but we were cheaters this trip and stayed in a cabin...hehe! 

This LO doesn't look that great in the pictures.  I should have taken more close up pics but my camera battery (which baby E took the other day and I just found it) was dead!  I promise this LO looks a lot better in person!

Products Used:

• Cosmo Cricket S'more Mr. Campy Paper
• Stampin' Up! CS, Buttons, Ink (sponging)
• Summer Vacation Cricut Cartridge
• Brads and Twine from Michael's

Thanks for stopping by today! 

My Pink Stamper April Blog Hop

It's all about Birthday's this week!  I had so much fun checking out the My Pink Stamper Design Team Projects tonight!  What a talented group of ladies!  The theme is Birthday in honor of Robyn's daughter Katelyn and her 13 Birthday...Happy Birthday Katelyn!  I decided to really step out of my comfort zone for the challenge tonight and actually challenge myself.  Anyone who follows me, knows we do a lot of pink here at My 3 E Scrapbooking.  I have 3 girls, so naturally we make a lot of Girl Projects.  Tonight, I decided to challenge myself and make a boy birthday card...GASP!!  What do you think?

I think he turned out pretty cute!  I was grabbing whatever was on my desk tonight!  Now, the first time I saw the (SQUISH) stamp on Buggy Punnies, I was sad.  I couldn't imagine squishing any of my cute cricut creatures.  Then I saw one of Robyn and Karlee's videos, and that is the word they use for HUGS...HOW CUTE!!

Products Used:

• Scraps of Stampin' Up!, Cosmo Cricket, Bo Bunny
• Cardboard from my Stampin' Up! shipment
• Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
• My Pink Stamper Buggy Punnies Stamp Set
• PKS Critter Faces Stamp Set
• SU Bugs & Kisses Stamp Set
• Signo White Gel Pen
• Twine from Michael's

Happy Tuesday Everyone!  It is time for Design Team 2 to wow you again this week at Celebrate the Occasion.  The challenge for week #8 is Anything Birthday (must include a flower).  I have a very special LO for you for this challenge!  It is my "Over the Hill" LO. 

Now, I do not consider myself anywhere near being over the hill!  I just turned 30, but I have a friend who is loving this LO so it may be going to her for her hubby!  I have had this LO building in my head ever since I saw my fellow DT member's Feathered Friend Card over at Crafty Jar  and I thought this challenge would be the perfect time to bring the LO to life! 

Here is a close up of the vulture....  

and of my requirerd flowers.  I thought it would be fitting to have my page "pushing up daisies"!
