I don't normally get the time to do a project for my own company, but I was able to squeeze one in today. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This past weekend was my birthday! I went out to lunch with my Mom on Saturday and we went shopping at Hobby Lobby. I am so in LOVE with that store and so happy one is finally near me! They often have sales on a lot of thier stuff. I really scored this week. I purchased two metal crosses for my cross collage wall in the Family Room!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also scored this awesome metal bird cage decoration. It was 50% off and went so well with my new craft studio! I decided to add some paper for the background, I used the Preppy Princess stack from DCWV. I added a few shabby roses to the bottom using hot glue and added some crochet ribbon from Paper Issues and Hobby Lobby.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Today is FRIDAY, that means it is a new challenge week over at <a href="http://christmasstampin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CSAYL</a>! <br />
<br />
This week the challenge is to make a card with a photo or photo holder.<br />
<br />
The prize this week is a guest designer position for CSAYL! YAY!<br />
<br />
I decided to use SVG Attic's <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=218" target="_blank">Tent Card</a> collection as it is PERFECT for creating photo holders!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center>First I will be showcasing a diaper bag gift box I created for a dear friend of mine that is pregnant. She is expecting a baby girl and I just knew this would be perfect for her! </center><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijF4znGVUBvgUSY6ydJ8QvpfuiPEZQ-TdAB_Gv1uyfukYVWrosJzfU9_5m523fVBqKRsQaOsPQW_Ggj3r-t5FkT4RFVr1d5aKP20XwouENONnqHPrG5t-RYeJT8RYM4YZdLfhgo1q7rnA/s1600/baby1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijF4znGVUBvgUSY6ydJ8QvpfuiPEZQ-TdAB_Gv1uyfukYVWrosJzfU9_5m523fVBqKRsQaOsPQW_Ggj3r-t5FkT4RFVr1d5aKP20XwouENONnqHPrG5t-RYeJT8RYM4YZdLfhgo1q7rnA/s320/baby1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the diaper gift bag closed. I used stamps from Shabby Chic Stamp Co.'s Sweet Pea stamp set on the handle, SVG Attic's <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=270" target="_blank">Pretty Purses</a> SVG set for the gift bag, and the <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=102&products_id=257" target="_blank">Baby Girl</a> SVG set as well for the crown. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqz3YPAANN6ho15EqkmS_T6SbYSE9SHI0wBrEWUJaOXDqHNAqOCEYbdTOyOAj4NZZwYBTEp1umUg7pgO2gHFjc2KrvKQA5ryd4D85ztDU5CB-_Ov5gDHwRLfrbGf7j-g7cIpsqZosNfdI/s1600/baby2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqz3YPAANN6ho15EqkmS_T6SbYSE9SHI0wBrEWUJaOXDqHNAqOCEYbdTOyOAj4NZZwYBTEp1umUg7pgO2gHFjc2KrvKQA5ryd4D85ztDU5CB-_Ov5gDHwRLfrbGf7j-g7cIpsqZosNfdI/s320/baby2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I embellished the handle of the bag with rhinestones and pearls. I adhered ribbon underneath the handle to give it some fringe. I used double sided pleated ribbon and folded it over and adhered to the bag for the opening. I used green pearls from The Paper Studio to embellish the crown.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxMcVhtQz5FBcrUP-FVAlluW5Ae5Sc9hkX-HHq-QgCf0ND3NsEmdXA69nqPbmL7QxCA48i5ZQkQPgpiT1nr3ILfnfyCusukCQkathpNtOBNHiSAUOWnz-SRV4lj9ommnSlRkK3P_C1pk/s1600/Baby3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxMcVhtQz5FBcrUP-FVAlluW5Ae5Sc9hkX-HHq-QgCf0ND3NsEmdXA69nqPbmL7QxCA48i5ZQkQPgpiT1nr3ILfnfyCusukCQkathpNtOBNHiSAUOWnz-SRV4lj9ommnSlRkK3P_C1pk/s320/Baby3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the gift bag open. What would a diaper bag be without diapers?!?! I used the diaper inviation SVG file from SVG Attic's<a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=102&products_id=257" target="_blank"> Baby Girl</a> SVG set and sized down to fit into the diaper bag. They are the perfect size to stuff with gift cards, which is what I will be doing. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoo9r-cGYn8JWXP3s3G4Hd1YOmwIwbpLaB0CQR-KiYM_-u9XhMm-zkPkJ_WgieHDcIuOJQRNHgURG8_s6B_4H8PrC1w-P9k_z3Vy4EyS3YFI-qh05dtl_WllrZikR1ojTy9DiAJoEZzbc/s1600/Baby4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoo9r-cGYn8JWXP3s3G4Hd1YOmwIwbpLaB0CQR-KiYM_-u9XhMm-zkPkJ_WgieHDcIuOJQRNHgURG8_s6B_4H8PrC1w-P9k_z3Vy4EyS3YFI-qh05dtl_WllrZikR1ojTy9DiAJoEZzbc/s320/Baby4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the swiss dots embossing folder and my cuttlebug to give added dimesnion to the bag. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1XfhEH1GXNGEUmfp_DywyjXZiCAp94yte8BVepc97J7bqyIzC0s6HwBWYQZMuZR1Hwyu_CW1jxk7a7uuGQObyOeesn8kLHPKDvNK5FaYIys-vmdhRPM0Lq0YFiqrggWu83NioUDe9OAI/s1600/baby5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1XfhEH1GXNGEUmfp_DywyjXZiCAp94yte8BVepc97J7bqyIzC0s6HwBWYQZMuZR1Hwyu_CW1jxk7a7uuGQObyOeesn8kLHPKDvNK5FaYIys-vmdhRPM0Lq0YFiqrggWu83NioUDe9OAI/s320/baby5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is an upclose photo of the diapers. I embellished with stamps from Shabby Chic Stamp Co., Shabby Chic roses I found at Michael's in the dollar bin, green pearls from The Paper Studio and I also used a couple green grossgrain ribbon bows. All of the paper is from the DCWV Inc. Preppy Princess Stack. </div><br />
<br />
I just loved creating this and I can't wait to share it with my friend! She is going to LOVE it!<br />
<br />
Onto my next project....<br />
<br />
Now, I want to tell you how difficult it was to find the PERFECT paper for this project. I went shopping with a dear friend of mine at a LSS of hers which I had never been to and we had a lot of fun! I picked up some kitchen type paper and settled for it. Thankfully there was a Hobby Lobby on the way home so I decided to stop. Thank goodness I did because I found the perfect paper for this Recipe Book!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtP42FwYkrapKL8qTSCGcDPQi-wAcDkiLqNSCwLeSf48MkndsBOkK6B_OBqoV0tQSEqtxUft5fma0LaOTQHL0BWplcn0pQWhWDmrrX3ABbScG2JynfZwUBUp-zjvTvlHuXY3FbdkvjMI/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtP42FwYkrapKL8qTSCGcDPQi-wAcDkiLqNSCwLeSf48MkndsBOkK6B_OBqoV0tQSEqtxUft5fma0LaOTQHL0BWplcn0pQWhWDmrrX3ABbScG2JynfZwUBUp-zjvTvlHuXY3FbdkvjMI/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the front of the recipe book. I used Bo Bunny 9 x 9 chipboard album inserts. To create the front I cut up a large thick oatmeal box, the kind that hold the instant oatmeal, maple and brown sugar to be exact! I created the word "Recipes" in SCAL and cut it out with my cutting machine. I tied ribbons around the binder rings.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlXaI9wuDcmJG-GOmjAI6lqH9GV7flg-vhy04OugUMobbMhdhXVnUeIHsYxM0C5FAS3DLvBKkjEzAET8UcvsZL0zNr6VUWOF7xR5coIphqcvGQoDiCOslxCGYidnXAPsDWDevuPlLeoGc/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlXaI9wuDcmJG-GOmjAI6lqH9GV7flg-vhy04OugUMobbMhdhXVnUeIHsYxM0C5FAS3DLvBKkjEzAET8UcvsZL0zNr6VUWOF7xR5coIphqcvGQoDiCOslxCGYidnXAPsDWDevuPlLeoGc/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The paper I used is from Hobby Lobby, a stack called Farm Fresh. I thought it was perfect for the look I was trying to get. The stack came with pre-printed recipe cards so I created a box type pouch for the recipe cards to be stored in. To adhere the paper to the chipboard I used Krylon's Easy Tack spray glue. I think this was the fastest and least messy way!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSJp3CvZqH1AeKWus_hiabKLEUdiGrl_aL3UX3u6_UOD-34n3w5RuCXwOSMEdnVF39wNXrixaop74IUtr8LDyQYhaAnBGN4cjoCJRcKshuAs18IR3zFrXOl8kFD6kH0QcGeg-xCxQaISQ/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSJp3CvZqH1AeKWus_hiabKLEUdiGrl_aL3UX3u6_UOD-34n3w5RuCXwOSMEdnVF39wNXrixaop74IUtr8LDyQYhaAnBGN4cjoCJRcKshuAs18IR3zFrXOl8kFD6kH0QcGeg-xCxQaISQ/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I punched 3/8" holes into the cards to thread ribbon through to give them a pull tab look.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWRpIxhvfeyjKFxl_s-H6apqrkJD2yVM2kQ-dLgcJF0HTdCCXKYbUPkxACltgo2BCV56oJlq1FEHvOlwpXr_X7wZElBhxErIqhQA1JAq1aUX9DGSL_gDnHT7viSv5V1ROhwzbz_heecoo/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWRpIxhvfeyjKFxl_s-H6apqrkJD2yVM2kQ-dLgcJF0HTdCCXKYbUPkxACltgo2BCV56oJlq1FEHvOlwpXr_X7wZElBhxErIqhQA1JAq1aUX9DGSL_gDnHT7viSv5V1ROhwzbz_heecoo/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On the bottom of this box I used a cute wodden fence embellishment that I found at Paper Tales in San Diego. I added a few bottle caps and filled them with epoxy stickers and little images from the paper line.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGjG6uzCSxal0X2RIqhAI6X3yEyA5OEM_sHklyI7P8HluWWvAOY9S1mhxCwx6E9C0RqWRVKNiwQccTkHLO_jGoC6D_lBw5nBrZ_opWk8pNGlo4AFQr9G5zShEBgjdMM7vrDOWD7UCCfcw/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGjG6uzCSxal0X2RIqhAI6X3yEyA5OEM_sHklyI7P8HluWWvAOY9S1mhxCwx6E9C0RqWRVKNiwQccTkHLO_jGoC6D_lBw5nBrZ_opWk8pNGlo4AFQr9G5zShEBgjdMM7vrDOWD7UCCfcw/s320/5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the second tab. I adorned the box with wrapping scrunched ribbon around the sides and bottom. I adhered two medium sized clothespins to the paper and secured bakers twine bundles with them. I thought that was a cute idea for using this section for the baking recipes!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAjsU3z6bX8zVWwiabI_D5_GgGYdv1xg70sWuiR0CzYNo3-yT1fnUp_f8rmcburKWk_LWSYLxBFTxg5WH8M3uIKqYi7N71xcmfr_c5O79y4FLFpTcHCZvHH7kklX3Xcp0UidE8FC8gD_U/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAjsU3z6bX8zVWwiabI_D5_GgGYdv1xg70sWuiR0CzYNo3-yT1fnUp_f8rmcburKWk_LWSYLxBFTxg5WH8M3uIKqYi7N71xcmfr_c5O79y4FLFpTcHCZvHH7kklX3Xcp0UidE8FC8gD_U/s320/6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here I used an action wobble for the apple square. LOVE action wobbles! I was recently given some by a friend and this was my first time using them. I think it is adorable how it bounces back and forth!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHxGQNV5WpeMMgFN2Xjf4vZp6ciF5t-5A1GckfPdaOM0T0yuQV4p6uY5oDcwm5Gg9uAcnt7vSbaVf1Du5WQjSmvZmkQpshxIXjlEUSGmKUgSBG3XIkVUbE-YZnZ0k0PhyphenhyphenTtXfZgmOFMBY/s1600/9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHxGQNV5WpeMMgFN2Xjf4vZp6ciF5t-5A1GckfPdaOM0T0yuQV4p6uY5oDcwm5Gg9uAcnt7vSbaVf1Du5WQjSmvZmkQpshxIXjlEUSGmKUgSBG3XIkVUbE-YZnZ0k0PhyphenhyphenTtXfZgmOFMBY/s320/9.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is another tab. Here I used some yellow pleated ribbon to adorn the bottom of the box, a Tim Holtz safety pin that says Vintage on it. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUWUJpoM6xJj-vyXqwxBPGLW-sJ_d3so2zmuWlC6wt785mJxdw5k3vRYCFTxH9HIkj9vVGhNIfHJ63RMGr1cLY-Kmx5WhWNxsJnNIzi02ufdnSQZk1NcH6W_Tl1GF0YiYwiJbH-NRZCvw/s1600/10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUWUJpoM6xJj-vyXqwxBPGLW-sJ_d3so2zmuWlC6wt785mJxdw5k3vRYCFTxH9HIkj9vVGhNIfHJ63RMGr1cLY-Kmx5WhWNxsJnNIzi02ufdnSQZk1NcH6W_Tl1GF0YiYwiJbH-NRZCvw/s320/10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cut out a farm fresh SVG image I had in my stash and layered with double sided ruffle ribbon I got at Hobby Lobby. I thought this was the PERFECT ribbon for this project because it is plaid, black/white and it has that country cottage feel to it! I just adore that ribbon!</div><br />

Thanks for stopping in to see my project for <a href="http://christmasstampin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CSAYL</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This week we do not have a sponsor for our challenge, but the winner of the challenge will be our first guest designer! How exciting is that?!?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The challenge is ANYTHING GOES! Use any paper, any stamp, anything you like!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For my project I used K&Co. Glad Tidings paper for the cardinal and buck cut outs. I inked all edges and popped them up with foam adhesives. I used AC Cardstock for the card base and created my own type of card. I cut the card at 4.25" x 8.25" and scored at 5.5" using my Scor-Pal. I then used a decorative edge punch to give it a pretty edge. </div><br />

Thanks for joining me today! Today is my design team day with<a href="http://www.christmasstampin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> CSAYL</a> (Christmas Stamping All Year Long)! This week's challenge is sponsored by<a href="http://limitedrunsstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Limited Runs</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://limitedrunsstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvMwTEWMpBc0Qa2azdoAlYw4wdNEZWQNAj-86gFr-lWYqBhdcOl6mZ3VzyQjVEQMIyNFZFwnLvIndPp6uDVx87JCxoqNE2vj_szPoAgMJmr740iXGW1te3jCFEwnMdRBah4QFKFBANsCu2/s1600/Jan-LR.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Limited Runs is an online store that provides wonderful digi stamps at great prices! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The challenge this week is to use one digi, two papers and three embellishments!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used the <a href="http://limitedrunsstamps.blogspot.com/search/label/Christmas" target="_blank">Catching a Snowflake</a> digi for my project!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BdduxfvPBO0/TpzCrCPpGnI/AAAAAAAAExE/mDaBafMaQt4/s640/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BdduxfvPBO0/TpzCrCPpGnI/AAAAAAAAExE/mDaBafMaQt4/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Isn't it just darling? It would be perfect for Christmas or any Winter event! So cute!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the card I created!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wfjSQiRaXpUemfdeLrmKwKD853Qve1OOO9GHCJ_Z7pMrNdf2ja5HDRrpKZSBiQ7uMNClpIbOHjZGwuclEfmXVzNrL8DJRyPIMleMN9WDokOsJBe4vsAMVo8JSmpMA9khvH9YbybhOmo/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wfjSQiRaXpUemfdeLrmKwKD853Qve1OOO9GHCJ_Z7pMrNdf2ja5HDRrpKZSBiQ7uMNClpIbOHjZGwuclEfmXVzNrL8DJRyPIMleMN9WDokOsJBe4vsAMVo8JSmpMA9khvH9YbybhOmo/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the digi I used the <a href="http://limitedrunsstamps.blogspot.com/search/label/Christmas" target="_blank">Catching A Snowflake</a> digi.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiASTFJnNMhyphenhyphenrnuuHHdE1xFQfdeW6Uoq1b8L0wI0k6alNPCKAEPOeVVXf5aAvGZAYjExV3EuPbF56nnl6kSALgLci5NxbYbYT8nzmg6i_zh6tyJFc5LjLri6EJazSX3_KQzaD5FUyPtYxI/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiASTFJnNMhyphenhyphenrnuuHHdE1xFQfdeW6Uoq1b8L0wI0k6alNPCKAEPOeVVXf5aAvGZAYjExV3EuPbF56nnl6kSALgLci5NxbYbYT8nzmg6i_zh6tyJFc5LjLri6EJazSX3_KQzaD5FUyPtYxI/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the papers, I used two solid color papers, cream and blue, so it did not take away from the stamp. I decided to create a shaped card and the card base is from <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/" target="_blank">SVG Attic's</a> <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83&products_id=250" target="_blank">Be Mine</a> collection.</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used three embellishments. I inked all of the edges of the papers with pigment ink, used Pink Sorbet twine from The Twinery and added a few pink rhinestones at the bottom.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by and be sure to enter this weeks contest on the<a href="http://www.christmasstampin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> CSAYL Blog</a> to win three digis from <a href="http://limitedrunsstamps.blogspot.com/search/label/Christmas" target="_blank">Limited Runs</a>!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ink your stamp with your favorite ink!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Place the head stamp on after you have inked the body and stamp your body image. This helps with even pressure and prevents smudging!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUa7JS70rG7s7ZUJft5wV60OLVput0KRc6pMbnXmMYTHzsPhq5Dx2e5SFJGO2EM-H0FWhXsxiVEU0qKVEOG3Y1Hu_w70PiLvbL06o6j7QpLor9nh0rDmN7FhPYWLow0n64MOaNfwEzMl8/s1600/pictorial7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUa7JS70rG7s7ZUJft5wV60OLVput0KRc6pMbnXmMYTHzsPhq5Dx2e5SFJGO2EM-H0FWhXsxiVEU0qKVEOG3Y1Hu_w70PiLvbL06o6j7QpLor9nh0rDmN7FhPYWLow0n64MOaNfwEzMl8/s200/pictorial7.jpg" width="185" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cut a piece of painters tape or masking tape just wide enough to cover the INSIDE of the baby's thumb. This will prevent you from stamping over the thumb so you can line up the baby's head right against the body.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLeyH-7GAt6sYmxX4sSdw3z9LdwAB9gzkKNdaiVZZVQk26QEK7bhpMVJ34HBgUoEy8l02Poljq6ur2ovKRvEsy97eatX_yH4OQgnbSzoYd067ZJiIJzIHWBsR-DtpxkbYx9my-0V7fvI/s1600/pictorail8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLeyH-7GAt6sYmxX4sSdw3z9LdwAB9gzkKNdaiVZZVQk26QEK7bhpMVJ34HBgUoEy8l02Poljq6ur2ovKRvEsy97eatX_yH4OQgnbSzoYd067ZJiIJzIHWBsR-DtpxkbYx9my-0V7fvI/s320/pictorail8.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Place the baby head on the acrylic block and ink it. Choose another clean stamp from the same stamp set to and place on acrylic block without inking help with even pressure. Stamp image carefully lining up the bottom of the head with the top of the body.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGrVGIzs7Xa5bkAj5Xt5iyr0fWXjo1IuM3MYNqyQ23HusekXmC-BOS7rrxgRu1rOKQkzUEJkWP1SS9xvQHljez6fgG2WlhhbcQmrdY2NqYgk5JFjzK6IU268ZlAJjeGrIo4n5z3FfiWs/s1600/pictorail9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGrVGIzs7Xa5bkAj5Xt5iyr0fWXjo1IuM3MYNqyQ23HusekXmC-BOS7rrxgRu1rOKQkzUEJkWP1SS9xvQHljez6fgG2WlhhbcQmrdY2NqYgk5JFjzK6IU268ZlAJjeGrIo4n5z3FfiWs/s320/pictorail9.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Remove tape and viola, an evenly stamped image. This is only needed with the baby's body with the thumb.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Welcome to the <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=265" target="_blank">Welcome Spring</a> Blog Hop! SVG Attic's design team has decided to put on a one day blog hop featuring the <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=265" target="_blank">Welcome Spring</a> SVG Collection! We thought it would be fun to see how everyone decorates the set differently. We invited our Facebook fans to hop along with us with their creations from the set as well! I hope you have fun and get tons of inspiration along the way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you arrived from the SVG Attic blog, then you are on the right track. If you stumbled upon us accidentally and want to hop along, please start at the <a href="http://svgattic.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">SVG Attic blog</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I chose to use the bird cage file from the <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=265" target="_blank">Welcome Spring</a> collection. I just love this file and have found several different uses for it while trying to come up with a unique and fun project.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My son Tyler has always love St. Patrick's Day and every year we create a leprechaun trap. It all started when he was in Preschool. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the first photo of the trap.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNIFwbUzKM2i8m0cqDzoyQ3PgbSTdRnze1Tj41B2lMG8cfd5_mkk4nsfNSf7TeQDN_s9guNktbfKkAZGHQj4cLjT-28BmDW8VQl0y5EwsiYoDinA7ksEpHj9VmGe0VIHMFQgxcDeNkuVI/s1600/leprechaun3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNIFwbUzKM2i8m0cqDzoyQ3PgbSTdRnze1Tj41B2lMG8cfd5_mkk4nsfNSf7TeQDN_s9guNktbfKkAZGHQj4cLjT-28BmDW8VQl0y5EwsiYoDinA7ksEpHj9VmGe0VIHMFQgxcDeNkuVI/s320/leprechaun3.jpg" width="232" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the bird cage side1 and side2 files. I added a circle cut out to the bottom and cut two bottoms so when the leprechaun goes up the ladder he falls through the hidden hole.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the ladder from the <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71&products_id=235" target="_blank">Apple Picking</a> SVG Collection and decorated it with the clover gold coin and the horseshoe gold coin from the <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103&products_id=260" target="_blank">Go Green</a> collection. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCEvnc8N9LwXPaKiromApduiuUpVylJZQk_9RKnmndx35qgzH3u73i0GTPWiDYd7RGczneBrfgeMg9jo440gtd4Uo1ckl88hCt6WKjX-vLBakCEJ0XDSXubNU_QJVMZzwnNo4pjyNDBOY/s1600/leprechaun1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCEvnc8N9LwXPaKiromApduiuUpVylJZQk_9RKnmndx35qgzH3u73i0GTPWiDYd7RGczneBrfgeMg9jo440gtd4Uo1ckl88hCt6WKjX-vLBakCEJ0XDSXubNU_QJVMZzwnNo4pjyNDBOY/s320/leprechaun1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then cut out the pot of gold from the<a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103&products_id=260" target="_blank"> Go Green</a> collection and added a few gold coins to it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When the leprechaun goes up the ladder and accross the lid, he will fall through the hidden hole and be trapped!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is really fun and we set up something different every year. I make it look like the leprechaun got into everything and tore up the area where the trap was. Wives tales suggest it is impossible to catch a leprechaun, even if you believe in them! Tyler has outgrown this tradition but my youngest son Ethan is 4 and really enjoyed creating this with me! Last year the leprechaun got into the glitter, but I think I will save myself the clean up and go with something the dogs can just clean up for me!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my project. Your next stop is the awesome <a href="http://teachdanz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nicole</a>!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am so glad you are joing me this week. Today is my FIRST design team project with <a href="http://christmasstampin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CSAYL</a>. I am so excited to be on this team!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> This week we are showcasing cutting files from<a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank"> The Cutting Cafe</a>! If you haven't checked them out yet, you should hop right on over to their store to check out their amazing files (after you read my post though! HaHa!)<br />
<br />
The challenge is to use a box or shaped card.<br />
The prize is winners choice of 3 cutting files!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
I chose to cut out the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2010/09/8-by-55-inch-box-with-dividerstemplate-cutting-file.html" target="_blank">8 BY 5.5 INCH BOX WITH DIVIDERS.</a> This set is awesome and comes with three different lids! You can choose two different window type lids or a plain lid. I decided to go with the plain lid to show how easy it is decorate!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1kidq7DLsyWYO1-XFpJx_n3d0CHG3H56MhaG4QT1VUDW77hzTngswBNGOMI4E_AF0XiDPdZbG9_QgIqJzI5GxVNWwhTLzRoLJUwK77NHtZ4WkifPTjVXrv99zzMGwOaVg4CACVs9oIjE/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1kidq7DLsyWYO1-XFpJx_n3d0CHG3H56MhaG4QT1VUDW77hzTngswBNGOMI4E_AF0XiDPdZbG9_QgIqJzI5GxVNWwhTLzRoLJUwK77NHtZ4WkifPTjVXrv99zzMGwOaVg4CACVs9oIjE/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The box was a cinch to put together! The lid fits easily over the top!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuJQq9SUOA1B63_Kys9XSEsJ3dqSGb8yaPmtKgAjxvroWYVkcyi5exaR8lsgOpMVe7FCoBkZ1A58aQ-klCrBADgLtEMW_EbbNsIgjQsnSKn9aubOp_l82nXOJbl_BfDbxLO5BxjcQzSs/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuJQq9SUOA1B63_Kys9XSEsJ3dqSGb8yaPmtKgAjxvroWYVkcyi5exaR8lsgOpMVe7FCoBkZ1A58aQ-klCrBADgLtEMW_EbbNsIgjQsnSKn9aubOp_l82nXOJbl_BfDbxLO5BxjcQzSs/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The dividers make it possible to seperate your little gifts or treats in this box. The assembly is self explanatory once you open all the pieces!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the<a href="http://anniespaperboutique.bigcartel.com/product/christmas-candy-cane-trendy-twine-red-green-white-bakers-twine" target="_blank"> Christmas Candy Cane</a> twine from <a href="http://anniespaperboutique.com/" target="_blank">Trendy Twine</a> to create a peppermint candy as the center of my rosette! The rosette is a file from SVG Attic's Mad Tea Party collection and I sized it down a lot! I added a couple pins, some ribbon, and a stamp!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This project I used the <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=6" target="_blank">Bunny Love</a> stamp set. I created a little gift box using the Be Mine and Easter Elements Collections from SVG Attic. I just love this sentiment and it fits perfectly. My children LOVE peeps! I don't like that they come in a pack of 100 it seems like..sheesh... is a child really going to eat all of those? LOL I hope not! I open mine up and split them for the kids! Wait til you see what I did this year... </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This set used the Shabby Chic also. I created two Shabby Roses and hot glued them to the card. I gifted this card to my Grandmother for her birthday! She loved it! I had asked her the week before what she had wanted for her birthday and she told me "nothing"! Of course I made this for her before, but she called saying she knew exactly what she wanted for her birthday and it was a beautful card made by me. Love you Grams! She is one of my biggest supporters!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For this card I used the <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=6" target="_blank">Bunny Love</a> stamp set again, I combined the "Some Bunny Loves You" and "Hippity Hoppity" stamps together. That is one thing I just love about clear stamps, you can rub the ink off where you dont want it on your stamp and stamp a partial image. It was so easy to do! This is an A2 card with 24 1.5" circles layered. I used the <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=10" target="_blank">Bunny Love FREE Stamp 'Em</a> download SVG files that perfectly match the Bunny Love stamp set to give you a perfect die cut for the stamped image!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just LOVE this card. I made this card for my hubby and he will get a kick out of it! Yes, that is a shamrock tattoo on the Leprechauns behind! I used Tim Holtz hanger clips that I found at Joann's the other day. I used the "Kiss My Shamrock" and "Pinch Proof" stamps from the<a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=2" target="_blank"> Irish Luck</a> stamp set to create this card. The "Pinch Proof" stamp is the tattoo!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I chose to use a file from SVG Attic's new set releasing this week called St. Patrick's Day. It is the rainbow. Instead of using the layers of colors, I stamped them on using the <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/bit-of-burlap/" target="_blank">Bit of Burlap</a> background stamp from Market Street Stamps! I then used the <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_9&products_id=8&zenid=isrv7lt9a7ov7vk9c22rnm2dc0" target="_blank">Easter Blessings</a> stamp set from Shabby Chic Stamp Co.. I used the sentiment "May our Lord be with you..." for the outside, and "Easter Blessings" on the inside. I added twine from The Twinery and used Peachy Keen face stamps for the cloud. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I chose this card for the hop as Jesus lights up my life completely! I believe that without Jesus I would not have everything I have, know everything I know, and continue to grow through the path he has put in front of me. I am grateful and thankful to Jesus for my family and friends, the obstacles and victories, the happiness and sadness. Without Jesus, my life would not be as bright. I chose the rainbow because it is the universal sign for God's Promise and I absolutely love rainbows!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for stoping by and I hope you enjoyed my card! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thier inspiration photo:</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6-mpy0B1GhR7ESr9_s70yAWX5wKAQAezFr44hrhFSXUDen-z3ij9fFFVTZlLlgtSGI2JyH67rPfX4A2yRSz_jFBA7qmStXaz-Hzx3WOIxJjLByW5vEfgqG1HjLkERnGAHNbKvUZs4pZc/s320/fruit-tray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6-mpy0B1GhR7ESr9_s70yAWX5wKAQAezFr44hrhFSXUDen-z3ij9fFFVTZlLlgtSGI2JyH67rPfX4A2yRSz_jFBA7qmStXaz-Hzx3WOIxJjLByW5vEfgqG1HjLkERnGAHNbKvUZs4pZc/s320/fruit-tray.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For some reason, I have Easter on the brain and have had for quite a few weeks!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I immediately thought of a rainbow when I saw this and there was a rainbow coming out in the new SVG Attic file releasing this week, St. Patrick's Day collection. I put it to good use!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Peacky Keen Faces used for the eyes are from the<a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/products/PK_755_Critter_Faces_SET_A_Large-415-50.html" target="_blank"> Critter Faces set Large</a> and the nose and mouth are from<a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/products/PK_483_Winter_Wonderland_Faces_1_1_8_inch-747-0.html" target="_blank"> Winter Wonderland Faces</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used my <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/" target="_blank">Market Street Stamps</a> <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/bit-of-burlap/" target="_blank">Bit of Burlap</a> background for the rainbow. I used my<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank"> Colorbox</a> cats eye stamps and stamped the colors onto the background and they laid the rainbow on top and rubbed it to get the stamp image on there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then used twin from <a href="http://www.thetwinery.com/" target="_blank">The Twinery</a> to create bows on the rainbow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the sentiment I used <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/" target="_blank">Shabby Chic Stamp Co.</a> stamps from the <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_9&products_id=8&zenid=abcmbbi6k1r87ibn880psps906" target="_blank">Easter Blessings</a> stamp set.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This time I used the<a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_4&products_id=2&zenid=qosfvp1upb1d8uad3coh1co5h2"><span style="color: #e38792;"> Irish Luck</span></a> stamp set, I can't get over the shabby vintage feeling I get when I look at this card, LOVE LOVE LOVE! I decided to name it the Shabby Shamrock card... sounds more like an Irish Pub but it's fun! When I hear the name, for some reason Gaelic music and the smell of stale beer on a beard comes to mind!</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
I am also previewing an SVG collection from <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/"><span style="color: #e38792;">SVG Attic</span></a> that will be released soon! </div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the "Luck O' the Irish" stamp. The sentiment was stamped in brown ink. In fact, I inked almost all of the edges of the die cuts. I distressed the edges of the green cardstock, used brown ribbon and green rhinestones to enhance the card. The paper is from DCWV's Preppy Princess stack. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used the <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_7&products_id=6" target="_blank">Bunny Love</a> stamp set, the matchbox file from the <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83&products_id=250" target="_blank">Be Mine</a> SVG Collection and the bunnies are from a new collection releasing in a couple weeks, it has a TON of goodies in it for you! . I also used paper from Marcella K~Monkey Around (Must have been one of the very first paper pads I EVER purchased!), and twine is from <a href="http://www.thetwinery.com/" target="_blank">The Twinery</a>! I just love Easter!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the project. It was very simple and quick!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Isn't it cute! You can use whatever colors you choose. Those adorable bunny marshmallow treats come in every color under the sun! I made this specifically for a boy and I think it came out great! The box has is pre-scored and is very easy to assemble, the hardest part is choosing the paper! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinS-0UHlQl0qkUXHemP13ubsLKgQldPMnkew1fLPqCF5aJQLkeAsPEUXyJT3QJv6hM9aBTV5dG-U9k_sQGbTZzU8XqAx-cg-tQmo4WWcn3oqg3LgNY6alO6XBevmXuglVj3RVODUH37hM/s1600/Hangin2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinS-0UHlQl0qkUXHemP13ubsLKgQldPMnkew1fLPqCF5aJQLkeAsPEUXyJT3QJv6hM9aBTV5dG-U9k_sQGbTZzU8XqAx-cg-tQmo4WWcn3oqg3LgNY6alO6XBevmXuglVj3RVODUH37hM/s320/Hangin2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">See that cute sentiment!

Today I created a card for the <a href="http://blog.authentiquepaper.com/2012/02/february-sketch-challenge.html">Authentique Paper challenge</a>. Here is a photo of the sketch for the card.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yleh3FhcrA0ue6E8HD1U8WXJ10HHf_HK0-L8RoJvB7c2gra7cCq1xshjz2EaHypX5UE7itZM1iVO8evXHYHb-N_TaY60qbH4goom0dc2YbD_ANFW35620xersJzdDL0db2y_hdcUSZY/s1600/Authentique+February+Card+Sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yleh3FhcrA0ue6E8HD1U8WXJ10HHf_HK0-L8RoJvB7c2gra7cCq1xshjz2EaHypX5UE7itZM1iVO8evXHYHb-N_TaY60qbH4goom0dc2YbD_ANFW35620xersJzdDL0db2y_hdcUSZY/s200/Authentique+February+Card+Sketch.jpg" width="159" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I decided that I wanted to use my Blissful stack again! I just love the yellows right now, I think it is because we are aproaching Spring so fast! I have a small photo tutorial for you all. I wanted to create a shabby rose for this card so I cut out four 2.5" circles on my 6x6 paper using the basic shapes from SCAL!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOt_3I_fPYYKnM1iKiE7bKUEBEg1asizMCCrfoT3K8dBB3y3JCFO2Jf8-At3TH7SmSNPwtD-moE3XTBCEYqC57UyRJaQ2I1RLuR2eJ98n2ZJpXMqJSypCxnauDXh9UAQMAecjbNG1jwg/s1600/ShabbyRoseTut1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOt_3I_fPYYKnM1iKiE7bKUEBEg1asizMCCrfoT3K8dBB3y3JCFO2Jf8-At3TH7SmSNPwtD-moE3XTBCEYqC57UyRJaQ2I1RLuR2eJ98n2ZJpXMqJSypCxnauDXh9UAQMAecjbNG1jwg/s200/ShabbyRoseTut1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First I distressed the edges of my paper using my Tim Holtz Paper Distress. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw5ZH6iJAGBbmkB7awFfvrP6uTuxs2hukDuw3oC7xVBIldYD-MKnJ3FUJ6D587oNlhtNDY2qKy5UHNoVuPka1NPZvKKrLt8t4PM-eWNK5bH67Q-eIako5u9ab2CxLrUkkww_wj05zc5bY/s1600/ShabbyRoseTut2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw5ZH6iJAGBbmkB7awFfvrP6uTuxs2hukDuw3oC7xVBIldYD-MKnJ3FUJ6D587oNlhtNDY2qKy5UHNoVuPka1NPZvKKrLt8t4PM-eWNK5bH67Q-eIako5u9ab2CxLrUkkww_wj05zc5bY/s200/ShabbyRoseTut2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next I began tearing in a spiral until I reached the end of the paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1cIA2U5-lYVWZCwAR8gjol5COHYP5vp1YWgav6eP4ZcHjNbigJTKxvWDfg0S3wU-P5JBev8ez_RABlR0FiDy_w7nwKywLqRHNmCv7SDWnq15cXDXk02-ABRc2hkjrFoymiMmUzNelHuA/s1600/ShabbyRoseTut3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1cIA2U5-lYVWZCwAR8gjol5COHYP5vp1YWgav6eP4ZcHjNbigJTKxvWDfg0S3wU-P5JBev8ez_RABlR0FiDy_w7nwKywLqRHNmCv7SDWnq15cXDXk02-ABRc2hkjrFoymiMmUzNelHuA/s200/ShabbyRoseTut3.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I inked the edges with pink ink on the torn spiral.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnUgpX8mNVnXuDX_4yWQYVkeLYDfOmPAE_Co4ruKKLved4JrfJf_8Uik7Fgd9HLxumCS5sfmVD16y28ePbHkJULwhWxJZ-GHLQmSphvN9h7-c0TEVXY9FZYD3tj_fvg7LK9MVxP76NLUU/s1600/ShabbyRoseTut4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnUgpX8mNVnXuDX_4yWQYVkeLYDfOmPAE_Co4ruKKLved4JrfJf_8Uik7Fgd9HLxumCS5sfmVD16y28ePbHkJULwhWxJZ-GHLQmSphvN9h7-c0TEVXY9FZYD3tj_fvg7LK9MVxP76NLUU/s200/ShabbyRoseTut4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Start rolling the spiral from the center tightly, pinch slightly when all is wound together. Release the spiral and glue the outer end down to create your rose and hold it's shape.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhInZjtRnZ9uk4Yk6Wq9rt3_FKEzxpCjZrRDaO1X4O0pQgq_vCujddf0EOSuJ8TGl40aD14bvI681UsE3Kvv0ydHr6yOLBAgQjp58Xad9t__KR279i8jLEsIkttBF_KJjPz5k4vYZhDkjg/s1600/Live_Well1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhInZjtRnZ9uk4Yk6Wq9rt3_FKEzxpCjZrRDaO1X4O0pQgq_vCujddf0EOSuJ8TGl40aD14bvI681UsE3Kvv0ydHr6yOLBAgQjp58Xad9t__KR279i8jLEsIkttBF_KJjPz5k4vYZhDkjg/s320/Live_Well1.jpg" width="252" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the card I created. I used <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_6&products_id=4&zenid=r2bui8eg7kopgnv8bla8uv3jl2">Shabby Chic Stamp Set</a> from <a href="http://www.shabbychicstampco.com/">Shabby Chic Stamp Co</a>., burlap ribbon, pink pleated ribbon, green grossgrain ribbon, paper from DCWV Coral Couture Cardstock Stack, Authentique Paper Blissfull paper, and Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aren't those gorgeous colors? I only used two of the colors but I think that is okay... and if it's not.. I will find out! LOL</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used a 4" styrofoam ball, 12" dowel, a white pot, some moss, white sheer ribbon, some paper roses, and the <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/bit-of-burlap/">Bit of Burlap</a> background stamp from <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/">Market Street Stamps</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I created the two different color roses. One set with Bubblegum Pink tone and the other with the Berry tone.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hot glued all FORTY... YES... FORTY roses to the ball.

Janie from <a href="http://janiescraftcloset.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-clippy-organizer.html">Janie's Craft Closet</a> was so generous to share how she created this organzier and where she got the tutorial from. I IMMEDIATELY ordered everything from Walmart.com!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some photos of the end result!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYpKn8Elw58DkK0_d3m6fZ4YOBEaE8BrOki1h3n-MKHNY28IpqNEMJjB5kFJMnNMxbLR53f2GMDAznsRSIZMwj1cZwEfTnTQOTSzGMogeMdazx7KTyDd3iPk_tomOmw6IgHNeESGCR97c/s1600/1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYpKn8Elw58DkK0_d3m6fZ4YOBEaE8BrOki1h3n-MKHNY28IpqNEMJjB5kFJMnNMxbLR53f2GMDAznsRSIZMwj1cZwEfTnTQOTSzGMogeMdazx7KTyDd3iPk_tomOmw6IgHNeESGCR97c/s320/1.gif" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the entire organizer. This is a <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/3-Tier-Revolving-Shoe-Tree-2131WM/15746687">revolving shoe rack</a> that you can order for around $21 on walmart.com! (Right now it is out of stock though!) This is very simple and fast to put together. It comes in seven basic parts not including hardware but the instructions are very simple. Needless to say it was up in about 3 mins and I was decorating it! </div><br />

They can hold more than one ID badge holder($1.99/12 pk.)/bag.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8DmK6atw-ZM7O2uEn0FAbnt31H8ae3eGWn7UeZkdPe9eWMa3NNCoG5GbUWb0Ga6ATzvb31z9F_fzCoP6uW6C_AwTbWTV9ZsMveFAciTOl9HtZHa6lRmAMO60NpOmECvCUKUv1uIBx7M/s1600/3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8DmK6atw-ZM7O2uEn0FAbnt31H8ae3eGWn7UeZkdPe9eWMa3NNCoG5GbUWb0Ga6ATzvb31z9F_fzCoP6uW6C_AwTbWTV9ZsMveFAciTOl9HtZHa6lRmAMO60NpOmECvCUKUv1uIBx7M/s320/3.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">See how I bent the arms down... It gives me more space to hang as I quickly ran out of space on the middle tier. I used<a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Advantus-Badge-Straps-w-Clip-Vinyl-3-8-w-100-Box/14916531"> ID badge holder clips</a> ($18/100 pk.) since they were a lot less expensive than the hooks for the clip it up. If you dont have time to waste (Because this way is time consuming), purchase the clip it up hooks and make your life easier!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOHEgwpNmEpYMUg9dEPw4f9bqup5Oa0afRytQ72KChHM66-0RS9jITTSc_KSVz5fjIS2vMYXhIDJQYQfzcLB_MvqU-5zXW76gRJAWEotlCyhQfcQUdmuIGc4VSwgcU8-YNohuim4bDVxw/s1600/4.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOHEgwpNmEpYMUg9dEPw4f9bqup5Oa0afRytQ72KChHM66-0RS9jITTSc_KSVz5fjIS2vMYXhIDJQYQfzcLB_MvqU-5zXW76gRJAWEotlCyhQfcQUdmuIGc4VSwgcU8-YNohuim4bDVxw/s320/4.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did the same for the bottom tier so that I could hang some large packaged ribbon and twine embellishments in front of my acrylic stamp sets (see all those MSS and Peachy Stamps!) I should have more!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_hcP3HkwE4kmqPwnNEO1PbAgjbFVfeu4NdWz-1EX51TVpBRvJd_krZMdtI5G7VUcDrV2DZFqJ2EWijglYd5st0qMiSE2CJCpLzwn8_Mi9A17MXukXCcmJGWudg-NSbb4DHEcLIhj_7I/s1600/5.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_hcP3HkwE4kmqPwnNEO1PbAgjbFVfeu4NdWz-1EX51TVpBRvJd_krZMdtI5G7VUcDrV2DZFqJ2EWijglYd5st0qMiSE2CJCpLzwn8_Mi9A17MXukXCcmJGWudg-NSbb4DHEcLIhj_7I/s320/5.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The basket at the top is how all baskets come. I cut out a 9.5" circle with a 1.5" hole in the center using SCAL to create a base for the basket so that it could hold more stuff. I will eventually weave ribbon through the rungs to create sides.</div><br />

It has taken me two days so far and I have created about 20 roses and it is only half way covered! Yikes!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It is one of my favorite simple crafts to do with my kids this time of year. This year I decided to create the hearts a little differently. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of using just plain strips of paper, I use <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=101&products_id=252">Erin's Scalloped Trims</a> from <a href="http://www.svgattic.com/">SVG Attic</a> to create our hearts for the chain. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the Double Scalloped Trim and the Double Eyelet Scalloped Trim. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjWxQsrFr_8jwRcQUUNGmFKItgrd7ALdNYcY_OPVmpIlsRzMnM96zQoIqBS2tK1Z842kna3EVCdKaSyvFL9xQXpoG3AkFjiFJXVuPgh3TloJjwg_DWgiXKzTj5s_biZVUGw2dltn9xOYA/s1600/HeartChain2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjWxQsrFr_8jwRcQUUNGmFKItgrd7ALdNYcY_OPVmpIlsRzMnM96zQoIqBS2tK1Z842kna3EVCdKaSyvFL9xQXpoG3AkFjiFJXVuPgh3TloJjwg_DWgiXKzTj5s_biZVUGw2dltn9xOYA/s320/HeartChain2.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut them at 3/4 in. by 10 in. I also created a plain rectangle using simple shapes in SCAL. I cut out two sets of each shape for each color, giving me a total of 18 hearts. FYI... I could have used at least three more hearts.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I looped four strands of Maraschino and Pink Sorbet twine through each end and tied off to hang from my mantel.
