Happy Birthday - Scraptastical Kreations Friday Challenge

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! So glad it's Friday and the weekend is almost here :) Any exciting plans for this weekend? I'm not sure what we're doing tomorrow. On Saturday, we're going to my dad's for a family dinner/get together and I'm looking forward to that. We'll probably do something fun tomorrow just me and hubby. It's been a long week so we could definitely use some R&R :) Well, today is Friday so that means it's a new challenge today over on the Scraptastical Kreations Facebook Fan Page (every Friday we will post a new challenge on the fan page and you will have one week to play along). We can't wait to see your creations! :) Our challenge this week was to create a card using a pattern or digi stamp from Scraptastical Kreations and at least one stamp on their project.






For my card today, I decided to create a card using this adorable birthday girl bear from the Let's Celebrate Pattern Set. I cut the cute little bear out using my Silhouette. I ran the party hat, the dress, and the balloons through my Cuttlebug using my embossing folders. I then inked around my images, put everything together, and then some doodling using my white and black gel pens. I then created my card base using SU cardstock. My DP is from MME. I then adhered the bear to my card base using dimensionals. I then adhered the balloons and then used Bakers Twine for the balloon strings. The sentiment is a stamp from Hero Arts. For some finishing touches, I added a bow (tied with my Bow Easy) and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thank you all so much as always for stopping by. Make sure to stop by the Scraptastical Kreations fan page over on Facebook and join in the challenge. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)

Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone and Happy Saturday! I hope you enjoyed the grand opening of my friend Kristy's brand new store, Scraptastical Kreations. I hope you enjoyed the blog hop yesterday too. Make sure to keep stopping by the Scraptastical Kreations fan page over on Facebook as well throughout the weekend. We will be posting challenges and opportunities to win some nice prizes so keep stopping by.

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? Today hubby and I are going out to lunch, then to see Harry Potter (I pre-ordered our tickets so we are guaranteed a seat :) ). I'm so excited, I LOVE the Harry Potter books and have read them all at lease once. I have two bookcases in our library dedicated to Harry Potter, including all the books (both paperback and hardcover, Harry Potter bookends, bookmarks, snow globes . . . I'm a crazy fan :) ). Other than that, hubby has to work some this weekend so I hope to get a few more layouts done. Well, enough chit chat, onto my project for today :)





I decided to create a cute, simple, masculine birthday card for my project today. Isn't this little guy adorable? I love the balloon animal in his paw :) The cute bear comes from the brand new Scraptastical Kreations pattern called Let's Celebrate. Kristy just unveiled this new set yesterday as part of the grand opening of the store. Isn't it adorable? I see lots of projects in my future with this set :) I downloaded the file from the website and then loaded it into SCAL and sized everything the way I wanted it. I then cut all the pieces out using my Silhouette, inked around the bear pieces, and then put everything together (I use a zip dry glue pen for gluing my paper pieces together, I use it for my Cricut cuts too, it works great). After I put everything together, I did some doodling using my white gel pen. Next I created my card base using SU cardstock. My DP is from MME (My Mind's Eye), Party Time paper stack. For some finishing touches, I added a navy blue bow (tied with my Bow Easy) and blue pearls. The sentiment is from an old Hero Arts set. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks so much as always for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend and don't forget to keep stopping by the Scraptastical Kreations fan site over on FB for some prizes. Hugs!
