A Giveaway - Happy Birthday.....Go Have Some FUN!

Happy Thursday!

How about we venture off from the Valentine cards to a little birthday celebrating today? I just love this paper and darn it, I can't remember who its by...sorry! But anywho...its two sided and that's always awesome for a perfectly coordinated match! This is a fun little money holder card that I made for my nephew. The older kids get, the better they like cold hard cash! LOL!
This holder and sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe' and I have used it so much already...its very handy and oh so CUTE! The set is called GIFT CARD AND MONEY HOLDER SET...TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILES.
I used my Cricut Cuttin' Up cartridge to cut out the H and B. The circles and scalloped circles were cut out using my Nesties! I have no idea how I ever managed to make a card before I got those little lovelies! LOL!
The card opens up to reveal "the prize" and also how darned adorable that paper is! LOL! I love it!
Here you can see this is the front that I've decorated and then the flap is on the back side so you will be able to tuck the money in!


Now, guess what? You can win this GIFT CARD AND MONEY HOLDER SET...TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILES for your very own use! All you have to do is leave me a comment below and then I will draw a name on Sunday the 17th and announce the winner Monday the 18th! Simple, easy as pie!

THANKS for dropping in to see me today and please do join me again tomorrow for more card FUN! HUGS!

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Would you like to WIN this set? Well, you can! All you have to do is LOOK HERE for all the details! Julie, over at On The Dot Creations will fill you in. Good Luck!

Who loves polka dots? I do! LOL! Oh, and then you add red in the mix and it's perfect as far as I'm concerned! So, I used a new cut file from The Cutting Cafe' called Heart Flower. It's a layered flower and oh my goodness is it ever pretty! Dontcha just love it!
The little love stamp is by Kim Hughes. I thought it was perfect for this set. Here you can also see the layers of the flower close up. The possibilities are endless with this flower. I'm sure I'll be using it over and over again!

I added a few little silver hearts on a stick pin to the bow....just for the "oh" factor! By the way....does anyone know where I can get the little ends for the stick pins so no one gets stuck while admiring the card? Please leave a link in the comments if you do!

This is a little pillow box, also a cut file from The Cutting Cafe'. It to has the little layered flower, KH stamp and the hearts on the pin to coordinate with the card.

One more thing.....3 little love note cards. Keeping in theme, they have a little flower and a KH stamp as well. Perfect to leave around for "you know who" on Valentine's Day!

A perfect set to give to that special someone on Valentine's Day.....and all you have to do is go visit Julie over at On the Dot Creations and get all the details on how to get a chance to WIN the set! Hurry on over and have fun. Julie's blog is AWESOME!

THANKS for visiting me today. Until next time, have a lovely day! HUGS!

Santa Birgitta in Blue and Lots of Glitter

Happy Thursday Friends!

I'm new to these stamps, but OMG! I love them so much, I will be getting more soon! This is Santa Birgitta and she's a swiss pixie by CC Designs. WOW, she was so easy to color and oh so CUTE! They are from Funky Kits and there are lots of different ones!

I colored her with my Copic markers and added lots of Martha Stewart glitter to her hat and wings.

This is a sentiment circle from The Cutting Cafe'. The set is called Christmas All Around. I thought this one was perfect for my pixie card. I cut out the sentiment with my Nesties.

I used a few clear rhinestones for the "brads" on the main image. I just started doing that recently and really like how it looks!

THANKS for dropping by to see me today, please join me again tomorrow for more card FUN! HUGS!

NOTE: Don't forget to sign up for my GIVEAWAY on yesterday's post!

Santa in Pink From Peggy Loves Vintage - Giveaway Too!

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Today's card has lots going on. When I started this creation it was just the pink Santa image from Peggy Loves Vintage using the Santa CD (so cute) and then I kept getting all these neat ideas, so I just kept adding on to it! LOL!

The image its self is so adorable that I thought as first I was just gonna perch it in the middle of a white card.....uuummm well......I decided to use my Cuttlebug snowflake folder for the white card top. Since it's a long card, I had to run one end through and then swap it around and run the other end through. It turned out perfectly!

Next I used some Cuttlebug corner dies, a Martha Stewart snowflake that I glittered with MS glitter, then added some vintage pink buttons with white twine and a pink gingham bow, a jingle bell, and then lastly I added a few pink dew drops.

I just love how girly and cute this card turned out! I also love the non traditional colors when making my Christmas cards. Fun stuff I tell ya!



Now if you'd like to WIN your very own Santa images from Peggy Loves Vintage, please leave a comment below and I will draw one lucky winner on Friday at midnight and post the winner on Saturday's post! One more thing.....Peggy has some FREEBIES on her blog right now! Go grab 'em!



Thanks for dropping in on me today and please do join me again tomorrow for more card FUN! HUGS!

Making Handmade Cards - Happy Birthday and MY WINNER!

Happy Friday! YAY! We made it to the weekend!

Today I have another fun little card I made using the Glam Bags and Heels eKit from Making Handmade Cards. How fun is this little green purse?
I colored it up with my Copic markers. The cool thing about this kit is, you can print out the images with or without the sentiments! I really like that option!

The background papers I used is from another one of their eKits called Petal Patch. It has papers of all colors. You know what, with these kits...you never run out of your favorite papers!

That's about all for this little card, but I bet you'd like to know who won my Cutting Cafe' giveaway huh? Well, using random.org, my winner is #18 Jeri!

Winner of My Blog Hop Prize and Another Giveaway!

Happy Saturday My Friends!

Before we get to today's giveaway, I wanted to announce the WINNER of my Blog Hop Prize! Using Random.org the winner is.....#14 Lisa! Congratulations Lisa, please email me your snail mail address so I can get your prize off in the mail to you!

Now on to today's giveaway! Regina, the owner of The Cutting Cafe' has allowed her designers to give away a set of her wonderful new releases. I've chosen to use a few of the Halloween goodies she's designed. The sets are called Halloween Labels and Halloween This and That.
This one is from Halloween This and That set. I wanted it to really stand out, so I just ran piece of black Bazzill through my Halloween Cuttlebug folder, added a black and white checked bow and left it at that!
Next I made 3 little tags that could be used for scrap booking, gift bags or maybe just as a decoration. The back of each tag has lined paper for your notes or sentiments. I used some of my frozen dinner boxes and an old newspaper to design these tags. I used both sets of printable stamps for the tags.
To create the tag shape, I used my Cricut George cartridge and cut them out at 5". I used a Cuttlebug flower die to cut out my newspaper flowers, aren't they fun? The tiny black flowers are from my new EK Success punch I just found at Joann's thanks to my sweet friend Teri Beri!
This one features a circle stamp from the Halloween This and That set. These little tags and the card will be for sale in my Etsy Shop soon!


Okay, now for the giveaway! Regina was so sweet as to let me give away BOTH digi sets. So.....I will have two (2) WINNERS! Leave me a comment and tell me what other Halloween color combinations you'd like to see me work with and I'll put your name in the hat for a drawing to WIN! Please have your entries in by Wednesday night at midnight and I'll draw the winners and announce it on Friday's post. Good Luck! HUGS!

Happy Birthday - BBTB Challenge, Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY!

Happy Monday!

Today's the day Regina announces a new challenge over at Bitten By The Bug. This week we are Blog Hopping and giving lots of prizes away! This week's challenge is to use the frame from the Cricut Storybook cartridge. You can find it on page 56 of the manual, or it's the shift cut on the Accent Blackout feature for the number 3 on the key pad.
The fun part about today's challenge is that we are being sponsored by The Cutting Cafe' and each designer got to use a different file from TCC. I got the FRAME JOURNALING FILE to play with on my card and GUESS WHAT? I'll be giving the stamp set file away along with the sweet little birthday stamp I created for my card using Regina's awesome frame shape!
I colored the images in with my Copic markers and then used my paper piercer to go around the outer edge of the frame for a little extra zing! Now, remember to try and do the whole blog hop because each designer will be giving away a different stamp set on each of their blogs. That's a lot of prizes you could be winning!

This little stamp I created to give away to my luck winner was created using my Printmaster program, Regina's awesome frame design, a dingbat cake from Scrapnfonts and a standard font from my computer. The file is yours along with the TCC file if you are the lucky winner.

Now hop on over to see the uber talented Donna Mundinger (Popsicle Toes) for another bit of eye candy and another chance to WIN! GOOD LUCK and thanks for playing along today! HUGS!

Deadline to enter is Friday May 22 at midnight my time. Oh, and be sure to leave an email address for me if you comment anonymously!

S W A K!

Happy Thursday!

How are you today? I'm good so far!! My MIL invited us all over for supper last night and a good time was had by all....of course I ate way too much...I can't resist her cooking ya know!

I wanted to show you these very simple candy bar wrappers I made for my boys and my nephews. I try to stay very plain and simple when making stuff for my boys.

I used one of the fun print outs from THE CUTTING CAFE'. Of course you get lots more on the set than just these cute lips that are "Sealed With A Kiss!" Just pop on over to TCC and order up the downloads you want and Regina will email them to you and then you'll have them on your computer forever! Now how cool is that!! I used my Nesties to cut out my printable stamp...they are perfect for doing that!
I used some flocking on the lips...let me just say, that I will need to practice with using this stuff a bit more...there is some learning to do to get it all filled in without going past the lines.....practice, practice, practice!

That's it for today, thanks for swinging by to see me...I hope you have a lovely day and remember to sign up for the giveaway HERE if you haven't already done so. Please join me tomorrow for more card FUN! HUGS!
