Anything but a card.....

Was our assignment for our DT post today at Craft Junkie Too. Most of you know how much I LOVE 3D projects!!! I always say "less is more", but when you're making it for a kid, you can throw that out the window and just decorate away!!!! :) I kept going back and forth on whether I wanted a Halloween or Fall project, then I figured I have the whole month of October for Halloween (which is one of my favorite holidays). Here's my little Fall treat box...

P.S. Sorry I've been MIA for a while. My little man had pneumonia and crafting took a back seat for a few! He's all better now :)

Back to School Fun

Hi guys! Or should I say ladies?! Robyn @ My Pink Stamper just announced her new stamp sets, and I was sooo excited to get the opportunity to design for her for the very first time. All the sets are absolutely awesome, but I just had to start with School Days. Come on, I'm a teacher! :) Here are a few of the projects I created...

A cute card...

and a fun shape card...

Be sure to swing by My Pink Stamper and check out what the other designers created with School Days. I have another fun project using this set, but you'll have to check back on Wednesday for my Craft Junkie Too Design Team post :).

Now on to my project....

As soon as I found out I was going to be participating in the hop, the design for this card automatically came to my mind and I went with it. Amazingly enough, what I had in mind is what came out on paper (how often does that happen?! lol). I used Simply Charmed for the bottle and glasses and Don Juan for the 2011 title. The cloud was welded together with some rectangle in order to give it the "exploding-out-of-the-bottle" look. Hope you like it!



Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop will be Cassie at Scrappin' Palce

Make a Wish

I had a birthday on my team at work last week, and threw this card together for everyone to sign; not to mention I've been looking for an excuse to use my new Simply Charmed cartridge :). Sorry about the quality of the picture, but it was late...
