Here's my card! I used a kraft cardstock base and Echo Park Season's Greetings stack to make this card. The tree was cut from CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cart then stamped with the coordinating stamp, the brads and ribbon are from my stash.<br />

<br />
Since we got him a big race car track for his birthday, I decided to go with the race car theme for his party! I used the race car from Boys Will Be Boys cricut cart. I used Kraft cardstock for the base and some <a href="http://www.joann.com/cardstock-8-5-x11-200-pkg-world-tour-smooth/zprd_11266491d/" target="_blank">new cardstock</a> for the race car that I got from JoAnn's last week, I really like it - it cut so great in my cricut and embossed perfectly in my cuttlebug! I used the diamond plate embossing folder for the circle behind the car, twine from We R Memory Keepers, the speed racer sentiment is from My Pink Stamper and I used the Teeny Tag Greetings stamp and matching tag die from My Creative Time for the "You're Invited" tag.<br />
<br />

I used the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cart to cut the flower and I offset the layers to give it more dimension. I cut a tag using the matching die to the My Creative Time 'Teeny Tag Greetings" stamp set, such a fun set that I treated myself to recently! I tied the sentiment tag on using CTMH Hemp.<br />

Here's my card! I used Echo Park paper for this card and a sentiment stamp from my stash but I'm not sure of the manufacturer, the diecut that the sentiment is on was cut from Elegant Edges cricut cart. I used my distress tool to distress the edges of all the paper I used for this card, I really like the way it looks!<br />

I chose to use the <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2012/07/mojo-monday-252.html" target="_blank">Mojo Monday</a> blog sketch for this week's card.<br />
<br />
Here's the sketches - I opted to go with the square and made a 5x5 card...<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Good morning and welcome to the June ScrapbookSteals blog hop!! You should be coming from <a href="http://onescrappinmama.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Becky's blog</a> - if you just happened upon our hop, please go back to the beginning <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/" target="_blank">here</a> so you don't miss out!!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">I was thrilled to be picked to be a part of this blog hop, I am a <i>very</i> loyal <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/index.php" target="_blank">ScrapbookSteals</a> shopper - I love the quick shipping and vast variety of scrapbooking supplies offered! And it doesn't hurt that they post steals twice a day now, at 10a and 10p (CST) - so two times a day to find great deals and expand your stash of scrapbooking supplies!!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">We were all given <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/archive_products.php?id=3002225" target="_blank">American Crafts Glitter Tape</a> to use on our projects today - I have to admit, I was very intimidated by this product!! I racked my brain, trying to come up with a good use for it! I don't often use glitter in my projects, so I wasn't sure what to do with it and still stay true to my usual style! But at the same time, it was a challenge to think outside the box and make something I wouldn't normally!!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">I ended up making cards, several different types, trying to highlight this fun product!!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">The first one is a birthday card for my niece - she's having a swimming party for her birthday, so what a perfect summer theme - popsicles!! I used pops2eat stamp set from The Stamps of Life - I lined up 4 rows of the glitter tape on cardstock then stamped the popsicle stamp on it and cut it out - it worked perfectly! Then I stamped the popsicle sticks onto the kraft cardstock base, added a banner piece of printed paper that I hand cut, then tied some twine in pink and green to match the popsicles, then stamped a sentiment from the same pops2eat stamp set!</span></span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For the inside, I stamped popsicles, again from the pops2eat set and a birthday sentiment from birthday2celebrate, then attached the cardstock using 2 pieces of the glitter tape!! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">I was really happy how this card turned out and according to my husband (I was working so couldn't go to her party), her card was a huge hit with her and all the moms at the party - so that's always great to hear!! :-)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">I made a thank you card, using the gold glitter tape as flower centers! I attached several rows of the glitter tape to a piece of cardstock, then used a circle punch to punch it out. Then I used 2 different colors of twine to make the flower petals. I stamped the stems using stamps from the mums2stamp set, the thank you sentiment was from the same set.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I tore a piece of green cardstock to serve as the grass and tied another pice of twine around the card base! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">For my next card, I made a get well card for my stash. I used this fantastic sketch from Monday Card Madness on the <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/" target="_blank">ScrapbookSteals blog</a> - you will definitely be seeing cards from me often using this sketch - I had so much fun with it!! There's always SO much in the way of scrapbooking ideas and inspiration on the SS blog, the sketches have helped me get so much scrapbooking and card making done lately!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I used the Latte stack from DCWV, such pretty colors in this stack!! I used more twine, tied on a button and attached a get well tag from my stash. The glitter tape added some subtle but cheery bling to this card, some sparkle but not too much!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">And here's my final card, using the same sketch as above! I made a birthday card for my brother, using the A Boy's Life stack from Echo Park, twine and a button and tag from my stash and a sentiment stamp from Hero Arts. The gold glitter tape definitely added a lot to this card, it gave it some sparkle but not too much because I don't think my brother would appreciate that! :-)</span></span><br />

<br />
I used this sketch from <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/2012/05/21/studio-calico-classic-calico-vol-2-monday-card-madness-85/" target="_blank">ScrapbookSteals Monday Card Madness #85</a> - it was a fun sketch that I know I will be using again!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used the Latte stack from DCWV to make this card, the flower I cut from CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cart, buttons from my stash and twine from The Twinery. I couldn't find any Thickers in my stash that coordinated with the colors in the card, so I left off a sentiment from the front - if I have any time to buy some between now and when we give it to them, I will add Love on there...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But I do have some exciting news that I keep forgetting to post about...I took the plunge and decided to go to the <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/2012/04/19/scrapbooksteals-retreat-2012/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Steals retreat</a> in October in Salt Lake City, UT!! I had really wanted to go last year but my youngest was too small for me to be ok with leaving him, and while it still won't be easy to leave my boys - I'm going knowing this will be good for mama and they will be home having fun with daddy!!! :-) <br />
<br />
And even more exciting, I'm meeting 3 friends there (<a href="http://chatterscene-mom.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Chris</a> , <a href="http://myscrapescape.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tracy</a> , and<a href="http://raquelsscrappinpages.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Raquel</a>) whom I've known online for over 5 yrs now but never met in person!!! Kristy, who inspires me nearly every day on the <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Steals blog</a> with her fantastic sketches and ideas, will be there and it will be so neat to finally meet her in person! So this will be the best weekend for all of us moms to get away and refresh ourselves with a creative weekend!! <br />
<br />
I'm just now patiently waiting for the airfare to drop back down, I missed the super cheap rate last month :-( and was working a stretch of nights and it skyrocketed before I booked - so I'm waiting and watching, praying it goes back down so all my spending cash I wanted to take with me, doesn't go towards my flights!<br />
<br />
I'm SO excited!!! :-) Anyone else going?Kimberlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16186913650231769982noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479742084296541505.post-35628502534843275422012-05-08T23:47:00.000-05:002012-05-08T23:47:19.169-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The print paper is from the My Mind's Eye 'A Happy Heart' stack. I used buttons/brads from my stash and the hemp is from CTMH. I cut the scalloped half circle using my cricut and the CTMH Art Philosophy cart, the banners I cut by hand.</div>

Sorry I've been missing the last few days, I just finished a 5 night stretch at work - it went by so slowly, I felt every minute of those 13 hr nights! So I'm definitely glad to be home with my family for the next few days and able to get in my craft room again!

I used Thickers for my title. I pop-dotted some of the squares and left some flat, to give the page some dimension.<br />

When you complete all 10 LOs, you are entered to win an amazing amount of scrapbooking goodies, this time from My Mind's Eye, which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine as I acquire more and more of their paper!! So my fingers are crossed that my name is picked for the scrapping goodness!! :-)<br />

I'm loving that I'm finally getting caught up on my oldest's scrapbook, though as the days go on - that also means that I'm getting more behind in my youngest's! Seeing as how I haven't printed any pics of my youngest, guess it will have to wait a little longer! But the good thing is, these Scrapbook Steals challenges are really lighting a fire under me and seeing as how they have them all the time, I hope it will continue so I can get both their books caught up sooner rather then later!</div>

Here's my LO! I really enjoyed using this sketch, I've been wanting to try a hexagon pattern on a page and this challenged me to do so! I used Piggy Tales Billy Goats Gruff collection for this one, love the colors in this collection! The hexagon and star shapes I cut using Accent Essentials cart and the bikes were cut from Boys Will Be Boys cart.</div>

And here's my LO! I used Echo Park Little Boy collection - another one of my favorites, such bright, bold colors - perfect for all the little boy LOs I have to do! I used CTMH Art Philosophy cart to make the chevron-ish (I know they aren't exactly chevrons but I liked them and they're close!) then the tag and banners I cut by hand. </div>

The "remember these days" phrase was cut off one of the tags included with this collection - I thought it fit perfectly with my LO, since it was highlighting one of his milestones!<br />

Today I have a LO to share with you of my oldest and one of my favorite pictures of him! I love this sketch that focuses on just one picture - its from <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/2012/04/25/october-afternoon-farmhouse-mid-week-mojo/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Steals Mid Week Mojo - Amethyst #10</a>.<br />
<br />
Here's the sketch...<br />

<br />
And here's my LO! I used Thickers for my title, buttons from my stash and My Mind's Eye 'Away We Go' collection for the patterned paper (DCWV cardstock for the background paper) - I love this collection, the colors are so fun and worked perfectly with his red hair and the turquoise in his shirt! I used my Cricut and CTMH Art Philosophy cart to cut all the shapes I used on my LO.<br />

</div>
I made this card for my parent's anniversary next month - they will be celebrating 40 years! I definitely admire them, they still go on dates and hold hands after all these years together - its very inspiring to my husband and I! :-)<br />
<br />
I used the sketch from the <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/2012/04/23/my-minds-eye-lost-and-found-2-sunshine-monday-card-madness-81/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness #81</a> - great sketch, the card came together quick and easy! The hardest part was picking out paper to use, which I finally decided on my new stack from My Mind's Eye 'A Happy Heart' stack - the colors in this are so pretty and I thought the flower petals looked like hearts, so it worked perfectly for the card I was making! The sentiment stamp is from CTMH, the buttons and brads from my stash, I used CTMH Art Philosophy to cut the scalloped half circle and the banners I cut by hand.<br />
<br />
Here's the sketch...<br />

The inside sentiment is from Stampin' Up. Sorry for the poor lighting, it was cloudy this morning when I was taking the pictures and I couldn't get the inside picture to turn out very well, so I gave up!<br />

Good afternoon! I made this card for my best friend's birthday last weekend, her favorite color is purple, so when I saw the polka dot paper in my Bold Basics stack by Recollections, I knew I had to use it for her card!! I love these shades of green and purple together!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I based my card on the sketch below, from <a href="http://scrapbooksteals.stealnetwork.com/wp/2012/04/02/my-minds-eye-kraft-funday-everyday-fun-monday-card-madness-78/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness #78</a> - I loved this sketch and will definitely be using it again!

Here's my card! I used my new stamps from The Stamps of Life 'birthday2celebrate' set - both the sentiment and the gift were from that set. The buttons were from my stash, as well as the cardstock I used to make the card base with. I cut the banner shape out by hand and the scalloped circle is from the chipboard elements that came with my Art Philosophy bundle.</div>

I used no machine on this one! I cut the banner piece with my own two hands, just by folding the end in half and clipping it off! ;) I cut the chevon piece from the paper itself, just following along the pattern in the paper, which was from Recollections 'Bold Basics' stack. I used the Seeing Spots embossing folder on the green cardstock, which is from my stash. I stamped the sentiment, from The Stamps of Life 'mums2stamp', onto a piece of chipboard that came with the elements pack that coordinates with my CTMH Art Philosophy cart, then inked the edges. Added a few buttons from my stash to pull in the yellow from the print paper and its done!<br />

I used cardstock from my stash for this card, the ribbon behind the sentiment is also from my stash. Both the mum/stem stamps as well as the sentiment stamp are from The Stamps of Life sets - 'mums2stamp' and 'greetings4birthday'.<br />
<br />
Here's the inside, using the same cardstock as on the outside. The sentiment stamp is from The Stamps of Life 'birthday to celebrate'.<br />

<br />
I based them on the Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness sketch - funny story about my take on this sketch! As you can see, I only copied the sketch on the left side...for some reason, my printer printed the sketch really big and it only printed the left side! I had no idea until I went to post this and added the sketch and saw that there was a whole other part to it that I didn't know about! So that explains why you are only seeing the left side of the sketch represented on my cards! ;-)<br />

The balloons were cut from Simply Charmed cricut cart, the sentiment stamp is from The Stamps of Life 'birthday2celebrate', the patterned papers are all from the Recollections 'Bold Basics' stack, the cardstock and buttons from my stash and the twine is from The Twinery. <br />
<br />
I popped the balloons up with pop dots, as you an see from the picture below, to make them look like they are flying off the card! :-)<br />
