Ariel Birthday Card

Hello and Happy Friday the 13th everyone!  :)  Next month is my niece's birthday.  Chloe will be 6 years old very soon!  She loves Ariel (my favorite character too), so I knew that I had to use that on her card...  I will also be entering this into a couple of challenges (of course)...  :)

Scrappy Moms Stamps- use a cartoon character
Celebrate the Occasion- kid's birthday

Birthday Bash- cupcake cut at 4.18" (I didn't use the cherry on top or the sprinkles)

Disney Princess Dreams Come True- Ariel cut at 3.94"

Plantin Schoolbook- number 6 cut at 1.82"

Cuttlebug- seeing spots

Stickles- yellow, star dust

Glossy Accents

Twine

There it is!  I tried to jazz it up, yet keep it simple at the same time...  Hope you enjoy!  :)

Gnome Card- Peachy Keen Challenge

Hey everyone!  I have been wanting to enter a Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday challenge for a while now.  I am going to enter this one in the challenge (I'm so excited)!  To see the challenge, click here: http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2011/05/lets-face-it-friday-designers-choice.html.  I had the idea of making a card that somehow incorporated a gnome.  So I sat down with my Gypsy and started playing around with some different gnomes.  This is what I came up with, and I really love the way it turned out!!! :)

* I am now going to enter this into another challenge, which is on Bitten by the Bug 2, create something with a gnome!  I love gnomes and I love this card, so I am going to give my card another chance!  I looked at their website for rules about back linking to an older post (this post is only a week old) and it didn't say anything, so here it goes!!!

Dog Mini Album- Part 3

Here are the last pages of my mini album.  It was a really short album, and I wanted to keep it pretty simple (without a lot of embellishments).  Hope you enjoy!!

 

The tab picture cards are cut at 3.59" on the From My Kitchen cartridge.  The pocket for the cards measures 3 x 7".  I used My Pink Stamper stamps to add little "punnies" to the tabs.  For the "sisters" title I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  The letters are 1.75" and I used my Gypsy to weld them together, added the sparkle embossing powder, and covered them with Glossy Accents.  For the dog border going along the bottom of the pocket, I used the Paper Pups cartridge.  The border is two images welded together and it measures 6.75" x 1.21".  To finish off the page I added some Prima flowers with button brads.  For the last page I cut a piece of brown cardstock measuring 4.75" x 6.25", embossed it using the Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder, and scored it 1/2" from the top (I used my ATG gun to adhere it to the album).  I mounted my photos with photo corners and added ribbon and embellishments to the top to finish it off.  The last thing I did was bind the album together using my Bind-it-All.  This album was really fun to make and I can see myself making more albums in the future!  See ya later! :)
