Birthday Cards

It's been a pretty busy week on the ol' blog with my guest design gig for Jillibean Soup's Card Kitchen. I got to play with their March kit which included one of my favorite collections, Birthday Bisque. In case you didn't have a chance to pop over to their blog the past couple days, here's a look at the second half of those cards.

Don't you love this kit?!?! Festive colors, awesome elements and all of them coordinating perfectly! Makes it easy and fun to whip up a pile of cards in very little time!

Once again I've completed my Project Life week with temporary photos...looks like I may need a new printer. We're going to look into having it fixed, but I don't hold out much hope since things are rarely made to last. So...what kind of photo printer do you have? How long have you had it? Would you recommend it? Mine is a Canon i9900 and we've had it for about nine years without any issues until recently. 

Have a great weekend!

Guest Designing for Jilllibean Soup's Card Kitchen

If you haven't stopped by for a while, I've been guest designing this week at Jillibean Soup's Card Kitchen blog. I had a ball cooking up a set of birthday cards to share with you using the March kit! Below are the four cards shared so far...just in case you missed them.

This kit has so many awesome die cut icons! How about that soda bottle? Stars, arrows, conversation bubbles...you name it, this kit has it! 

Here's a peek at one of the cards posted at the Card Kitchen today....click here to see them both. 

Guest Designing for Card Kitchen

Do you like Jillibean Soup? Birthdays? Card making? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will be happy to hear that I have some birthday card creations to share with you over on the Jillibean Soup Card Kitchen blog today through Friday!  

As a paper crafter there are just too many fabulous paper manufacturers like Jillibean Soup and too little time to  play with all of them so I was beyond thrilled to get a chance to create with Jillibean's March Card Kitchen kit. 

Here's a little peek at one of my designs. This kit is right up my alley with all the die cuts to mix, match and layer! And this month is my birthday so it was super fun to make birthday cards! 

Additionally, I have a project to share with you on the Pebbles blog today, scheduled to post at 2:00 p.m. MST. 

Here's a peek at that using the gorgeous new Garden Party collection.

I've been afflicted by spring fever with temperatures reaching near 70 degrees on Sunday, turning to a winter mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain yesterday! What?!?! Schools are closed today because of it. Come back spring...pretty please! :)

Beach Getaway & Giveaway

Happy Saturday!

I'm back with my second guest design project for Little Yellow Bicycle! Each year my boys and I enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation at Carolina Beach and the new 'Escape' line is perfect for preserving these summertime memories!

I love the way the patterned papers and accents have a sun faded look!

How many times have you heard the phrase, "Are we there yet?" while traveling to your destination? Too many, right?!?! My husband actually thinks it's funny to say it as we're pulling out of our driveway! What a guy! ;)

Lovin' the camera patterned papers and the 3-D camera and car stickers!

Ah, I can't wait for our next annual beach trip...it's just a month away!

Do you have some special vacation photos you need to get into your scrapbooks? Would you like a chance to win a few 'Escape' goodies?

The generous people at Little Yellow Bicycle gave me more product than I needed for my guest design projects so I thought I'd share with you! Just leave a comment from now through Sunday, July 22nd and I'll randomly draw a winner to win the above prize package! That's it! Winner will be announced Monday morning.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Escape & Giveaway

T.G.I.F!

I've been keeping a crafty little secret that I'm so excited to finally share today! I was asked to guest design for Little Yellow Bicycle using their new Escape collection! How cool is that?!?! Starting today and for the next three weeks, I'll have some crafty projects to share with you! Shall we get started?

Look at all these amazing accents! I love the bright, happy colors! Aren't they're perfect for vacation and summer crafts?

Look at the flags! Don't you just love these flags?!?!

Planes, boarding passes and visa stamps, oh my! This line has it all!

This Fun-O-Meter is a favorite! Clever!

 Oh, and rosettes! I love rosettes!

As usual, I like to take a themed collection and use it in a different way...like this birthday card.

Ooh la la...how fabulous is this collection!?! Would you like to win a little 'Escape' of your own?

Little Yellow Bicycle was so generous in sending me multiple packages of goodies so I thought I'd turn around and give you a chance to play with them too! Just leave a comment telling me what you like best about this line and I'll randomly choose a winner. Comments will be open through Sunday, July 15th and a winner will be announced on Monday, July 16th.

Thanks for your visit today! Be sure and return for my next Little Yellow Bicycle post, I'll have scrapbook page share and another set of accents to giveaway! :)
