Believe Feminine Card with Tim Holtz Rays folder and Smooch

Celebrate the Occasion has their weekly challenge up again and this time it is all about Mother's Day. My card is a little different than the usually sweet cards for Mom. I wanted to show how I 'get' that no matter how old you are you still have dreams and want them to come true. I want all my Mom's dreams to come true. She has been through a lot with/from me :)

I used my Sizzix Texture Embossing Purse- which I LOVE! I also used a Tim Hotlz Alterations Embossing Folder: Rays that I bought with Rayna at the scrapbook expo. purple Smooch for the dress. 4 of the stamps were Dawn Houser, and the flourish was by Rhonna Farrer. Tattered Angels Viva Pink made it shimmer and that is basically the jest of it. I do have a video tutorial uploading soon- but it has had a hard time processing. Just visit my Channel and it should be there soon.

Now go make your own Mother's Day card and link it up with Celebrate the Occasion this week. There are monthly goodies to be entered to win :)

Plus the design team ROCKS it!!

BTW: Have you seen Rayna's Awesome projects lately? She is ripping it up! I am left speechless by her amazing talent. Way to go Rayna!

Howdy Neighbor

Ye-haw!

Celebrate the Occasion Challenge blog March 28th. New Home. I wanted to do something different for my card. I thought about doing a cow and a we've 'MOO'ved card to give to old neighbors, but I decided not to, even though I have been dying to use the cow on create a critter cricut cart.

Instead, I used a horse and the the pun 'Neigh' bors, becuase a horse says neigh. Get it? *giggle*
There are still neighbors I have never met and this card would have solved that problem. I am a bit of a recluse :) You never know, if you live in Utah I might be your neighbor!
THe Howdy was cut from Create a Critter too, and the tag was cut with Once Upon A Princess Cart (beautiful tags o there) And then embossed with my sizzix texture boutique purse and the damask card.
I hand wrote the tag that I cut from Once upon a Princess cart. to match and trimmed it to fit, but I wish I would have found a small stamp to stamp it instead . So, unless you have better handwriting than I do- and chances are you do, but if not, stamp it :)

Go enter your New House craft now. The month is almost over and a great cricut cartridge is up for grabs! The thing I love about this challenge blog is any type of project is accepted and any type of technique- meaning, if you don't want to use your cricut (or don't have one) you can still enter. Go see what the amazing Design Team has put together for you- they seriously blow my mind away every week.

Challenges:
GAB Challenges - favorite technique, dry embossing
More Than Favors - something funny
Cooking with Cricut - funny quote, saying, or pun

*hugs* Ya'll Come Back Now, Ye Hear?

Hi, Paper Panther here, wanting to share the good news that Rayna & I have been dying to tell you! We both made it into the Celebrate the Occasion Design Team!!!

(Look how cute their button is!)

For my project, I did a 6x6 card using Basic Grey paper. The image is from Indie Girl and the feathers were from my chickens in my backyard...no chickens were harmed in the gathering of the feathers :)

The crown is Creative Imaginations and it's from the rock star sticker set.

The brown velvet ribbon is from Fancy Pants Designs and the tulle is from Hobby Lobby.

The word Queen is on Tim Holtz's grungeboard, which I love by the way!

I inked around the edges with black using Stazon, which smells really good, and it doesn't rub off onto anything!

Make sure you check out everyone's cool projects at Celebrate the Occasion!
