Pink Warrior

Hey everyone! My cousin Candy Coburn is pursuing a career in the Country music business. She sent me a link to her new song "Pink Warrior". It is a beautiful song about women who face breast cancer and those who love them. It was dedicated to my great grandmother Marie Tucker. The video has pictures of her, a clip of the song and is encouraging people to download it. All proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Check it out!

A Card Kit Freebie & a Fab Birthday card in under 15 minutes!

Today's post is extra fun! My friend Lindsay over at The Frugal Crafter is offering a free card kit! All you have to do is download, print and cut! Then you've got a quick and easy kit to make up to 3 cards from! Lindsay's Card Kit Freebie

Lindsay is also offering a deal in her store! Try a card kit and a digital stamp for free, you can download them from Lindsay's blog. You can also still get a free stamp for every $5 you spend in her store! Most of her stamps are just $1.00 each! So that's quite a bargain!

Ok, now for the card. This card was created using everything from Lindsay's Birthday Card kit. And I mean everything! The kit is designed to make up to 3 cards, however, me being the type of person who thinks the opposite of "less is more" decided that "more is more". haha. I wanted to use it all on ONE card! I love how it turned out!

All I had to do was print it out on my computer. It took about 15 minutes to cut everything out. I then put it all together on the card in under 15 minutes! I added some bling by using some a thrift store button and some rainbow colored seed beads for added interest. I used pop dots to pop the scallopped border on the inside and ouside of the card.

These also look great with a digital stamp added to them. Be sure to check out Lindsay's blog for more ways to use these card kits!

In order to make a card like this one, all you need is:
-One piece of cardstock 5.5"x8.5" (for card base)
-Card Kit Freebie
-Any extra bling you'd like to add

Thursday Freebie & Using Digi Stamps for Scrapbooking!

Hello all and Happy Thursday! You know what that means! It's time for a freebie! I created this scrapbook page of my son playing outside in the rain using 2 digital stamps from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. They were only $1.00 each! I just printed them out and then colored them using my Bic Mark Its! So simple! The freebie for today is the "April Showers Bring May Flowers" title.

To get the flowers at the bottom to pop off the page, I just photo copied the bottom of the paper with my HP all in one printer, then cut them out and used some pop dots! So easy!

Fairy Happy Birthday...

Hey there girls! I decided that today was the day that I would finally tackle multiple challenges in one card! I have never tried this before, but I'm always impressed with Scrappin' Margie and others who do this quite often. I started by choosing one challenge blog that had a sketch, which was Mojo Monday, then I went to some other challenge blogs that did not require a sketch, but just an "element" of the card. Then I jotted down notes for each and went from there.


I also managed to do some recycling with this card! The pink and green argyle paper is actually from a thank you note that I recieved recently. I saved the top part of the card and used it again! What a great idea! So here it is!


Here are the challenges:
Mojo Monday : #87
Stamptacular Sunday's #7: Pink, Green & Brown
Spoon Full of Sugar: #51: Buttons Galore
Scrappy Frog's Challenge: #4 Round & Round
I had one more, but I accidentally forgot about it until I was finished with the card. Oops.
What did you think?

Vote for Me!

Hey everyone! I've entered this craft project into the "Cutest Craft Contest" at the OriginalScrapBox.com. Please click here to vote for me! You can vote once a day!

I made it using a clear glass pendant and a printed stick figure and a little bit o' decoupage. I also made the necklace! I have been giving away a few to friends and they are going to help me "advertise". I've already had 4 orders! I hope this keeps up! I love doing this sort of thing! If anyone would like to order one, they are $10 for a pendant and $5 for the necklace to go with it. I will also be making some with a monogrammed letter behind them soon. So keep an eye out for it! I'll share soon!
This one is a little girl holding a purse with the name Averie.


I also wanted to share with you one of their products. This is my dream! I would love to have this! This is a picture of the Workbox, and you have to go to their website to see the coolest video on how it works. The whole thing folds up, hides the mess, and then easily moves wherever you need it to go on wheels. This is a sturdy piece of furniture which will hold everything imaginable in a beautiful storage space. The Original Scrapbox
