Fight Like a Girl!

I had the pleasure of meeting an amazing woman last year. Her and I have a mutual friend and met for the first time at the GLEE Concert in May 2010. She's a fellow GLEEk! A few months after the concert she learned she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been fighting like a warrior!! She's had several surgeries and has the most positive mindset and attitude I have ever met!!!

I found this camouflage paper at Hobby Lobby and HAD TO BUY IT. I knew I wanted to make her a special card. I finally made one and going to be putting it in the mail. I hope it puts a smile on her face and lets her know how special and inspiring she is to everyone she knows.

4.25 x 6 Card Recipe:
*Camouflage paper from Hobby Lobby
*Black card stock from Hobby Lobby
*Martha Stewart Dolly Lace Edge punch on top and bottom of black paper
*Breast Cancer Ribbon (can't remember where I got it) I used 3D ZOTS (clear adhesive dots)
*"Fight Like a Girl" picture is from the internet, printed it on white card stock
*Pink paper 2.25 x 1.75 under picture
*Color Box Chalk inkpad Charcoal around the picture and pink paper

God Bless those that are fighting, have fought and have lost their fight to cancer!!! They are heroes in my eyes.

Birthday Card Swap and Inking it Up Design Team Submission

Hey crafty crafters out there!! I have posted a new card I made for a birthday card swap I have been invited to. This is my first card swap ever and I am super excited. I made a simple 3 1/2 x 5 inch birthday card. I used my Gypsy and brand new 12x12 teal cricut expression. I love her, she's soooooo beautiful to look at!! I used the Smiley Cards cartridge. I used the devine swirl folder to emboss the icing with my cuddlebug. I used the star dust Stickles to bling up her cheeks and tongue.

I have recently starting following another blog Inking it Up. I see she has a Design Team Call, so I am going to submit this card to possible get on her team.

Have a super crafty day!!

12 Days of Christmas (Day 8 Challenge)

My favorite crafty person to follow, My Pink Stamper, is doing the 12 days of Christmas Challenge. I made a very, very, very SUPER simple, almost embarrassing to post 12x12 layout page. This is a color challenge....use teal or blue, green and brown. I used NO Cricut and just put down paper boarders ready to put pictures of Ted and Ryan. I swear 2011 I am going to scrapbook at least once a week...that is my New Years resolution!!! I did NOTHING in 2010...so 2011 I am going to get caught up!!!

Christmas Kisses...

12 Days of Christmas (Day 6 Challenge)

The Pink Stamper has the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge. Day 6's challenge is to make a Christmas card or scrapbook layout. If you don't celebrate Christmas then do a Winter themed project. I made a Christmas card to send to my niece with a gift card inside. It's super simple because I have the holiday head cold and can't be that creative. I hope she likes it.

Merry Christmas Kisses...

My Pink Stamper Birthday Challenge

I created this birthday invitation for my son's 9th birthday party. I used my gypsy, smiley card cartridge, pop dots for the "lego" on the front of the card and primary color card stock.

Enjoy!
