Birthday Sundaes Challenge #30 - Fall Colors Birthday

Good morning!  It is Sunday which means another fun challenge at Birthday Sundaes!  Today is the start of our 30th challenge!  I can't believe it!  Time flies when you're having fun and we have another fun challenge for you!  This week we want to see Fall Colors on your Birthday Cards!  The Birthday Sundaes Design Team has come up with some gorgeous cards for your inspiration!  Here is my card!

My girls have been enjoying all the squirrels scurrying around collecting nuts!  I thought this card would be fitting for a Fall Colors Birthday Card!

I just love the colors for this challenge!  I had to mix a few different stamps to get the right feel for this belated birthday card!  The "Awwww Nuts" is from My Pink Stamper, "Happy Birthday" is from My Craft Spot and "(A little late)" is Stampin' Up!  The gorgeous Crinkle Ribbon is My Craft Spot!  Speaking of My Craft Spot, Kimberly is looking for a few new Design Team members but the call ends tomorrow!  Click HERE for more info! 

Please join us for our Fall Colors Birthday Card challenge at Birthday Sundaes this week!  You have until next Saturday to link up your card!  Thanks for stopping by today!

The Paper Variety Forest Friends Challenge

Get Whale Wishes for Angelo

The challenge is still open for another 2 days to make Get Well cards for little Angelo.  If you missed it, the Whimsical Wednesday Design Team had created cards for Angelo, who is the 15 month old grandson of fellow blogger Margie, from Bella Bug Creations.  Angelo recently underwent brain surgery and is going through chemotherapy.   We are trying to bring some cheer to him and his family. The day I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to be a part of this!  As, a mother, I couldn't even imagine going through what they as a family are going through right now.  I give thanks that my children have been blessed with good health.  My hope is that my card can bring at least a small amount of joy to him and his family.  Here is what I created.

I wanted to make something bright and cheerful for little Angelo!  Something that will catch his eye and something that is always smiling at him!

There are several layers stacked full of fun sea animals!  I almost added some more elements but then I remembered Angelo is only 15 months old and I didn't want anything on there that he could choke on.     

The inspiration for this fun card came from my good friend Dr. Sonia at Cards, Crafts and Kids Projects!   My girls have been wanting to make a tunnel card just like Sonia and her dear little assistant's card!  They were too busy to help with it today so I decided that I would try to make a different card inspired by her tunnel card.   Her card is much more elaborate and the card the girls & I are making together follow her wonderful step-by-step tutorial!  Thank you for the beautiful idea Sonia!  I'm glad I could use this idea for this very special project!

Cooking with Cricut #41 - Anything Goes this week!!

Make sure you check out the other amazing Orange, Green and White Birthday Cards this week at Birthday Sundaes!  I can't wait to see what you create! 

"Going to the Chapel and We're Gonna Get Married" Card

I needed a card for an upcoming wedding.  They are a younger couple so I wanted something fun!  I love when I make a card that puts a smile on my face, especially this week!  While making this card, I could not stop singing "Going to the chapel and we're gonna get married" (Click HERE if you would like to get the song stuck in your head too)! 

I used Inspired Hearts Cartridge for the background and Simply Charmed for the bride and groom.  I do not have a cart with bells so I made my own with a scrap of silver shimmer paper.

The card front is mostly black and white with a splash of pink (their wedding color).  The blue and green that you can see are on the inside of the card.  I used my Gypsy to stretch the background piece from Inspired Heart and then welded it to the front piece.

The bride and groom both have a few layers pieced with dimensionals and I gave them each a Peachy face!

The bride's dress is embossed and I added little rhinestones.  I also gave her a set of earrings and used stickles to make her bouquet sparkle.

Here you can see a little of the dimension and you can see how the happy couple are free standing on the front of the card.

Birthday Sundaes #13 - Birthday Card with Embossing

It's Birthday Sundaes time again!  The Design Team has come up with some amazing cards to inspire you this week!  Our challenge #13 is Embossing!  You can use heat or dry embossing on your Birthday card!  Here is my embossing creation!

I used several different embossing folders on this card because hey, it's an embossing challenge..hehe!  The Turquoise background is embossed with Spots & Dots, the sand with Swiss Dots, the Green Octopus is Tiny Bubbles and I think the embossing on the seaweed is called Textile Textures!  I layered all my embossing fun onto an Orange card base!  I'm entering this fun creation into the Color Challenge at My Pink Stamper this week!  Can you tell what the colors are? 

I added little goggle eyes to the cute little octopus and inked him some cheeks! Everything is outlined, inked and popped up (after being embossed of course) to create this fun little ocean scene!

Splish Splash LO for MPS Pinkalicious Blog Hop

I enjoy the My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop every month!  The Design Team always posts the most amazing projects!  This month's theme is Summer and the projects are fantastic!  I can't believe I actually had the energy to put together a layout for this challenge after my week of making favors!  I am almost all crafted out for the week but this went together pretty quickly since all the paper and embellishments were still close at hand from my Pool Party LO I made last Friday.  These are all the leftover pieces!

My poor Middle E does not like water which is a great misfortune because we spend a lot of our summer in the pool!  She just cannot stand it to touch her face.  There are not many pics of her in the pool, which is why this one of her smiling is amazing!

I used My Pink Stamper Punny-licious stamp set for the "So Cool"!  Punny-licious was the first My Pink Stamper set that I ever purchased and I still use it quite frequently!  As a Create A Critter lover, it was the first set that peaked my interest.  Now I'm hooked! 

Products Used:

• Bo Bunny Sun Kissed Afternoon Paper, Double Dot, Buttons
• Stampin' Up! Cardstock, Soft Suede Ink  for Sponging
• American Alphabet Cricut Cartridge
• My Pink Stamper Punny-licious Stamp Set
• My Craft Spot Bakers Twine

It's 2 am so I am off to bed for a few hours until the kiddos wake up!  Thanks for stopping by!  

When Life Hands you Lemons Card

Sorry for being MIA this week (if anyone even noticed..hehe).  I knew this week would be crazy busy with the kiddos last week and preschool graduation tomorrow morning.  I was also supposed to have jury duty this week which I was fortunate enough to be excused from!  I don't think they would like me showing up with all three of my kiddos!  Besides a few tornado warnings (which thankfully never produced much more than a few strong gusts), the weather has been beautiful here!  Yesterday I got our pool set up for the girls (they begged me all day Thursday for it) and we have been finishing up cards for their friends at school and for my 6 soccer teams.  Next week I have lots of fun projects to inspire you all!  For now, here is one of the cards that I had set to post a few weeks ago when blogger went crazy.  I had some posts that disappeared and I have been patiently waiting for them to reappear but so far none have.  I'll just keep posting them slowly over the next few weeks! 

 

Products Used:

• Stampin' Up! Cardstock
• Savory Lite Cricut Cartridge
• My Pink Stamper Fruit & Veggie Punnies
• My Craft Spot Inside & Out #1
• My Craft Spot Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon

PS...Have you seen the challenge for this week at My Craft Spot?  The challenge is to make a shape card and this is what you could win...

There is still time to enter!!!  Kimberly has also just added a line of brightly colored twine from the Twinery to her store!  YAY...I went a little crazy ordering some!!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Teacher Appreciation Blog Hop

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to the Teacher Appreciation Blog Hop!  It is that time of year that we are saying "thank you" to all those wonderful teachers that touch our lives and help mold the minds of our little ones!  I am so excited to be a part of Jen's hop today!  If you are coming from Lisa's Crop & Create then you are heading in the right direction.  If you just happen to be stopping by today and want to hop along, you'll want to start at Jen's blog, Jen's Craft Corner!  You don't want to miss out on the wonderful ideas and the fabulous blog candy!  Here are my Teacher Appreciation projects!

I made a very special little chalkboard bag for a very special teacher! 

Here is a view of the dimension!  I folded a strip of paper to make a ledge for the chalkboard.  Then I added a rolled piece of paper for the chalk and used different brands of pop dots on the book and the bookworm.

The bookworm was cut from Create A Critter and I added a Peachy Keen Critter Face.  For the lens on the glasses, I used a dot of Crystal Effects.  I love how they turned out!

I added Cherry Red Baker's Twine from My Craft Spot as an accent to the bag!

I made a set of simple note cards to fill the bag!  I left them blank so the teacher can use them for anything!

My second project are quick little items for the support teachers and helpers. 

They are post-it note books made using the same little bookworm and a cute background paper!

Here is the side view of the post-it note books!

and last but certainly not the least, I made these little cards for my kiddos Sunday School and Awana teachers. 

They are all volunteers and they do it for the love of the Lord and for the love of the children!  I just had to make a special thank you for them so they know they are appreciated too!

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!!

• Scraps of Stampin' Up!, Cosmo Cricket, Bo Bunny

Thank Ewe Card

Quick post today!  I hadn't planned on entering any challenges this week because I have so many Easter projects going right now.  Yesterday, I helped my MIL make little paper Easter Baskets for all of her quilting friends and I got started on making 15 Dozen Bunny Ears for a local Bakery.  I am finishing the ears up today then on to lots and lots of Easter of cards!  I decided since I needed to make a special Thank You Card (not that the ones in my stash are not special), I would whip something up for a few challenges!

Snappy Birthday LO

I couldn't sleep tonight so I thought I would throw together a quick LO for a few challenges using my Imagine! 

Now I have no clue why I did another page for my Middle E's 3rd Birthday.  I already completed an entire scrapbook for that birthday (Click Here and scroll to the end of this post if you would like to see it)!  I started with a sketch for the PKS challenge but I strayed from it!  Oh well!  You can never have to many scrapbook pages..hehe!

I used the Hopscotch Imagine cart and Life's A Beach for most of the LO.  I did pull a few pieces from my scrap pile.  For some reason, I have double the amount of blue scraps than any other color so I felt the need to use some of them for the water!  

I printed this cute little guy out using Hopscotch but I didn't think he popped enough.  I decided to heat emboss him with Red Craft Ink and Clear Embossing Powder.  I wish you could see it better in the pic but I love the way he turned out!  I stamped a My Pink Stamper Stamp on a label because I thought it was a cute addition!

The title is all printed and cut using the Hopscotch Cart and the banner is from a leftover scrap piece from the LO.  I'm still trying to use my scraps up for Sonia's challenge at Scraps 4 Fun!  I've been putting a pretty good dent in the pile.  Sometime this week I will tally up how many projects I've done so far with them!

Now doesn't this palm tree make you want to pack your bags and head for the Beach!  After spending a few days this past week at the Great Wolf Lodge and Indoor Waterpark, it makes me want to head for the beach!!  I am ready for the warmer weather!  I actually had my Imagine and Expression both going at the same time for this tree!  The palms and sand are printed using patterns from the Imagine More Cards cart and the trunk was cut from scraps using the E!  I also gave my dear sewing machine some attention for this LO!

Challenges:

Scraps 4 Fun Use Your Scraps

Simply Sunday Challenge Pack Your Bags (I would love to head for the Beach...the Lake would do too!!)

Challenge Me Monday #52 Happy Birthday (Happy Birthday Robin and FCCB)

This LO was Top Five Pick at FCCB

This was a winner at GAB



Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #6

***Click HERE for tutorial***

Hello Everyone!  It's Tuesday, so it's time for another challenge at Celebrate the Occasion!  This week Design Team #2 has some wonderful inspiration for you!  The challenge this week is Thank You and the twist is, it must have a tag.  Here is my project.

I made a special thank you gift. It is a little gift bag!  I made a basic open-ended box and sandwiched it in between two watermelons (Simply Charmed).  Add a little ribbon, a tag, some goodies and voila...a sweet little gift bag!  I have those delicious watermelon slice candies in the cello bag!   

Products Used:

• Stampin' Up! CS, Ribbon and Cello bag
• Simlpy Charmed Cricut Cartridge (watermelon)
• Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge (tag) 
• Stickles
• My Pink Stamper Fruit & Veggie Puns

I apologize that I do not have more pics, but my Baby E really messed my camera up last week.  I will post more pics, and details on how to re-create this fun little bag later this week, so please stop back!  Make sure you stop by Celebrate the Occasion to check out the rest of the Design Teams projects and link your "Thank You with a Tag" project by this Sunday March 27th (11:59pm EST) for a chance to be entered to win the March prize "Rock Princess Cricut Cartridge". 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a Great Day!

Happiness is A Butterfly LO

OK...I am about crafted out for the day but I have kept my mind busy so mission accomplished today!  Today was another fabulous My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday and what a wonderful way to start the weekend!  Robyn and her Design Team did an amazing job!  I was in aww every time I jumped to the next blog!  Thanks to all of you for the wonderful inspiration tonight!
So, the theme was Spring and the challenge is to do a layout.  Robyn, you read my mind today!  If you've seen my posts for Friday, you know I've been a busy girl!!   I actually started on pieces to this page earlier today but it just was not working.  I wanted to recreate and use up my scraps of ribbon from my CTO DT project.  I laid them out on white paper and was photographing along the way so everyone could see how to make the ribbon rainbow!

I was going to use this LO for my FCCB project but I could not decide on a tree, I didn't like the rainbow on the white, and I couldn't decide on a picture.  It just wasn't working so I ripped off the ribbon and started on a completely different project (the Color my World card in my last post)!

Well, the MPS DT really inspired me tonight.  After hopping through their blogs, I began to picture my new LO and as I posted my last post, I realized which picture I needed to scrapbook!  This is what my boring white piece of paper transformed into...

 The ribbon is a little sloppy looking because of it being ripped from the white paper today, but I just couldn't throw it away (I'm a scrappy scrapper)!  After seeing all the Colors, all the Butterflies, and all the Buggy Punnies this evening, this is what my brain came up with!  This picture is of my oldest E and this place, this moment in time, and this picture has sooooo much meaning behind it.  She is visiting "her butterfly home" and she was leaving behind a piece of her family's history!  It is a touching moment and I am so happy that this LO captures it so perfectly!  I think this LO is going to be framed and hung in her bedroom rather than placed in her scrapbook!  I just love what this LO became.  Thank you MPS for the inspiration to create this piece!! 

Products Used:

• Stampin' Up! 12x12 CS and Heart Punch
• Scrap Pile CS (pretty sure most of it is American Crafts based on the texture)
• SU Butterfly Embosslit
• My Pink Stamper Buggy Punnies Stamp Set
• Create A Critter (my fav) Cricut Cartridge
• Michael's Ribbon

If you haven't done so already, make sure you hop on over to the Pinkalicious Blog Hop and thank you again My Pink Stamper for the inspiration tonight!  I can't wait to keep on hoping in the morning!  I'm off to bed!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful night!
