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!

My Mind's Eye eye candy

Saturday, I went to the Scrapbook Expo, in Sandy, Utah- with Rayna. There were a lot of great deals there. It still isn't as good as it used to be. Ten years ago they had a ton
of free make and takes, etc. But my favorite thing at the expo is always My
Mind's Eye (and the cute guys that sell it) Seriously, if they had a poster of all of the
cute guys in their cute brown My Mind's Eye shirts, I would possibly buy it
:) Some have been around a while, and if you know them by name- they will
work out a deal with you. My Mind's Eye products ROCK!! Here is a short
video of KC, who is super cute and a lot of laughs. *Don't worry, my hubby
knows all about my scrapbooking crushes. :)

(the video is old, but it is all
I could find- I didn't bring my camera to the show :(
seriously, cracks me up :) And guys talking about glitter without laughing
is just cool. Go check out the My Mind's Eye Blog,
who would totally get more views if they had KC, Nick or Jason, did I miss
anyone?? Did I tell you their product is awesome to decorate with because it
is so sturdy?
I have to add Tim Holtz to the scrapbook crush list. (Confession, when Rayna said at the show 'There is Tim Holtz!' I about passed out, but she meant Tim Holtz's embossing folders. LOL

Who is on your Scrapbook crush list ?

Cinderella Tag

Here is my video on this: Cinderella Tag
Hi everyone, I just wanted to show you this tag I made. It is my first real tag and I had a blast doing it :) I tore the backside bottom, and I ripped the sides up using the Tonic Distress Tool by Tim Holtz. I distressed all the tags with the same tool.

Here are three of the smaller tags that go in the back envelope. This one opens up.Here are the back sides of the three little tags.
Here are the fronts of them.
This is the top of the backside of the tag
Here is the envelope that holds the 3 mini tags- this is the envelope from the Doddlecharms Cricut Cart.
Here is the entire backside of the tag

This is the top front of the tag
Here is the entire front of the tag- I love that black trim.
I made my own stick pin using a boutonniere pin and putting some jewelry together from a broken necklace :)
I used turquoise embossing glitter by Ranger for the flourish and black diamond stickles for the shoe


Thanks! I am linking this up with Erin Lee Creative's challenge, and Cooking With Cricut, and simonsaysstampschallenge

Father's Day Guy Card

Look at Rayna's Amazing Father's day card- or for any occasion in your man's life. I especially love her use of the cricut masking technique and her Tim Holtz embellishments :) This is one of my favorite cards ever!

Quick and easy father's day gift

Here is an easy peasy lemon squeezy gift to make for your hubby or other loved one. It took me less than 10 minutes.

I used Tim Holtz metal word keys (I so love these keys!) and the tags, bags, boxes and more cartridge from Cricut. I left the keys plain and awesome. Bought a really cool key ring at the scrapbook store and wrote with my handwriting a bunch of mushy stuff. I have more details on my video HERE. Oh yeah, the music is Savage Garden. Have a great day, *hugs* -Paper Panther
