Vrooom! /Mickey & Friends/ Boy Birthday Card

The original design for his card was made by Maren Benedict. Of course, I tweaked it and made it a lil' different. The truck is from Mickey & Friends, and the Windmill is from some other cart (totally forgot). I also used a stamp for the tracks (it's supposed to be a ribbon stamp!) and the truck on the cover slides back & forth!!! That totally made my day, 'cause I'm easily amused.
I also used some Tim Holtz and Stazon ink, and some other stuff. Hope ya like!

See? It starts here...
& ends here!



Get it? Loads of fun?

Fall Cards/ Smiley Faces/Blackletter

The little leaves are separate stamps. I used pop dots for dimension.

The pumpkin is embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots.


Oops! Wasn't dry yet!
I used the free download of Smiley faces for the Pumpkin card and Blackletter for the frames on both cards. Paper is Card Kraftstock and DCWV Fall collection. I also used Glaze medium on the pumpkin leaf and Tim Holtz distress ink for the edges. TFL!

Backpack Mini Album using Tutorial from Kathy King



Ok, 1st I have to say THANK YOU! To Kathy from Paper Phenomenon for sharing her creativity and files and laughter!! This project was entirely her idea. Happy Birthday Kathy! 2nd, I own a Mac, not a pc, therefore getting files onto my "G"-impossible! Soooo after much waiting, procrastinating, life in general getting in the way, I was finally able to finish this backpack mini!!! I have to say I learned a lot of "what NOT to do" while making this. Mainly, don't use the same craft space to paint/scrap in because you WILL get paint on your backpack mini. :(. I won't be repeating that mistake anytime soon. Also, I love this idea, and might make more. Maybe, not making ANY promises! (sorry pics are entirely out of order)








Little Treats/ TBBM/ Paper Pups/ A child's year


I made these little treat bags for my son & his little friends. They had a special popcorn party in his class and he brought these to share. I used TBBM for the popcorn boxes, the "smile" is from A Child's year, and "Yum" is from PPups. The scallop tag is from mini monograms and I added felt acorns and pumpkins as well as a little bling to finish them off. Paper is DCWV. TFL!

Smallest mini I ever made! For my DS teacher-to go with the candy tin and it was so super easy to make! I can't recall who did the tutorial for it on you-tube, but if I find the name, I'll edit this post. It has tons of tags for her to put her baby's pics in. The paper is from My Mind's eye, and Basic Grey.

Teacher Gift using Create a Critter


I recently made this little tin for my DS teacher. It was her birthday and all the little kiddos signed their names on the acorns, and the sentiment says "nuts about u". The tin is full of chocolates , 'cause flowers are not so tasty. The pics are not so great but she liked it!!

Hello Kitty Mini Album














This post is loaded with pictures because it's a MINI!! It's a birthday gift for a Hello Kitty fan, and I intend on making more of these for sure!! I also used Gypsy wanderings and Gypsy font, Doodlecharms, TBBM, George, Wild Card, and some stickles, MS daisy punch, bling, enamel, acrylic paint, you name it! It's girly, so there! I also made a birthday card to go along of course!

Here's my latest project!
