Wonderland goody box

A little something to put your goodies in.
The Cupcake Craft Challenge this week is "Red and White all over" so for up coming Valentines day I made this little box to put some yummy sweet treats. I love this carry all box from Sizzix. It's super cute :)
And the cute little girl is from the one and only Greeting farm, as is the hearts and sayings.
NOTE: Put tape on the right side (the outerside or pattern side) of your box. I don't know if they put this on the directions cause I'm a "doer" in other words too inpatient to read the directions. But learned the hard way (wasted tape).

Box Diecut: Sizzix
Tiny tag diecut: quickutz
Stamp: The greeting farm "wonderland"
Pattern paper: Basic Gray
Copics: (face E00, E000), (hair E57, E34, E33), (red R29, R27) (accent R81)
Sakura: clear star (glitter), glaze (black)

puppy love

My kids love animals. They're always asking to pet dogs at the park and asking people if they have pets. I wish we could get them a puppy but since we rent we're not allowed to have pet. Poor us :)
This picture was taken at our friends house when we sleep over. There dog Kenji was the best. The kids just smothered him with love and he took it like a champ.
Twisted Sketches challenge this week was perfect for this picture, and the super cute paper was perfect for the challenge. See how things work out :)
The twist this week was animal anyway anyhow


Cricut: Paper Pups
Pattern Paper: imaginisce "Scooter's Vacation"

I picked up this paper a week ago and fell in love with it. It was so cute that I actually only used imaginisce paper. The background paper, the red circle, the little images in the center of the flowers and even the paper flowers were from the Scooter's vacation line. Talk about saving money :)
Just wanted to share how the flowers were done.
cheep and easy



Cut a 12x2 inch paper into strips. I just hand-cut them, nothing fancy.
Spread them apart and staple the middle, I didn't get them all in the staple but that's OK cause the glue will hold it down :)

For the middle I just hand-cut a circle from white paper, don't worry about having a perfect circle cause you want the rough look. Then run it under water, just enough to get it wet. while still wet crumple in your hand gently, unless you want rips which would look cool too. Now let dry and that's it.

Enjoy

I'm back "love card"

Holly molly I'm back. It's been six months (and a bit) from my last post. I never meant to stop scrapping but went back to school and life got really crazy. Found sometime to myself so I wiped off the dust from all my scrap-junk and made a card.





The first thing I did was to go blog hopping (awe memories), checked out all the Scrapbooking sites I missed and got ideas.

This card is for sketchy thursdays which I totally missed because of the great Scrapbooking sketches there. Also my color inspiration is from spcc great color combo.
