July's Challenge--Stars and Stripes--Use of Bling!!

At the Cuttlebug Blog for July, the theme is Stars and Stripes-Use of Bling! Well we rec'd an amazing package this month from Crazy Scraps (our super awesome sponsorer!! Check them out for super great deals.. http://www.crazyscraps.com/ )

For this challenge I used the following products supplied by Crazy Scraps:

Cuttlebug Die 2x2 Circle Frames

Doodlebug Mini Brads-Lady Bug

Doodlebug Crushed Velvet Blue Jean cardstock

Doodlebug Sew American Stripe paper

I also used:

red embossing powder, red and white cardstock, Storybook cart, the Mickey Font, some little rhinestones, and some ribbon

I decided to heat emboss some of the circles and I also heat embossed my brads to help them shine! It is so simple to do! All you need is some embossing powder, embossing ink and your heat gun! Push your brad into your ink pad, then put some embossing powder on it, heat it up, then repeat if you do not like the amount the first time. The marquee cuts were cut from the Storybook cart..the Sew American stripe paper was cut at 11 1/2 inches and the white was cut at 8 inches. The word FUN was cut from the Mickey font at 2 inches. Hope you like!! Let me know what you think!!

Project #2 for the Cuttlebug Blog! "All About Dads"

Here is my second project for the Cuttlebug Blog!!

I chose to make a frame and card for my dad who loves to golf!

Frame Info: I used the herringbone embossing folder on the letters. I chose the Mickey Font and the Everyday Paper dolls for the golfer. He is cut at 5.5 inches. For his face, I used my peachy keen stamps. Added some inked edges and a little gold pen to draw out the details on the shirt, shoes, clubs..and there you go!

For the card:

I again used my herringbone folder on the background paper (which that paper and the folder and other goodies where provided by Crazy Scraps..check them out if you haven't yet..they have daily deals which are AWESOME! www.crazyscraps.com ) For his hat, I heat embossed some of it..then with a brown marker I wrote #1 Pap on it. I again..added some gold pen lines for details on the clubs, shirt and shoes..This golfer was cut at 5 inches...Then of course, a corner photo punch and then the threading water punch was used with the blue cardstock!

So if you have not joined any of the challenges yet on the Cuttlebug Blog..I urge you to do so..they are a lot of fun...they get you using your embossing folders and get your creativity flowing! www.cuttlebugblog.blogspot.com

March Project 1 "Green" for Cuttlebugblog.blogspot.com

Here is my project for March for www.cuttlebugblog.blogspot.com
Every month we do the Challenge and 2 projects..all relating to the theme of the month. For March it is GREEN.. (there will only be one project for me for March due to when my projects are due).

This Pluto autograph LO is for a swap I joined on the cricut MB. It is a 2 pg LO..size is 8 inches by 4 inches. Pluto is cut from the Mickey font and is 3 inches. The letters are from Learning Curve and are cut at 1 inch.

Disney On Ice Scrapbook Pages!!

(The Mickey is actually a Cuttlebug die)

(On the title Pirates..I took a cat's eye ink and a chalk tool and just dabbed the ink on the letters)

(the emblem in the middle is my attempt to make the Incredibles emblem on their outfit..LOL)

My daughter and I went to Disney on Ice in March (2009) and I am finally getting to scrap these pics! I didn't scrap all the ones I had taken but I did scrap quite a few!! I didn't put a lot of detail into the pages either..for a couple different reasons. I just wanted to showcase the primary parts of the show...I am glad my daughter and I were able to go, the show usually falls on a day that is either my son's bday or a day that we made plans for his bday..

some of the pics do not look too clear..sorry...

On with the pics..most titles were cut with Mickey Font..I think only Cinderella wasn't..LOL!!
