DT CTO Queen

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!

CTO Design Team Happy Birthday

I'm so excited, Paper Panther & I have been chosen to be on the Celebrate the Occasion Design Team!!! It should be lots of fun and we're looking forward to doing lots of great projects!!

Here is my card that I entered:


On the outside of the card, I was going for a treasure chest look with the plank paper and the sand dollar & ruby clasp :)

My son loves pirates, and I had made him a vinyl skull to put on the outside of his Nintendo DS, so I decided to make this card using the Life's a Beach cartridge. It did everything from the big X marks the spot to the cute treasure chest and pirate skull. Then I printed out the birthday sentiment.

I used some diamond & ruby bling for the pirate treasure!


Then I stitched the path to the X. I love the Sew Easy stitch piercer from We R Memory Keepers, it's so easy to use!

I'm so excited to be on the Celebrate the Occasion design team! Can't wait to get started :)

Ladybug embossed tag

Wishing for spring, I made a simple little ladybug tag today. I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cart to make the tag, then I used the Walk in My Garden cart to make the ladybug. I punched out some little hearts for the antennas and then used all kinds of ribbon to embellish it with. This My Mind's Eye paper is great because the glitter on it adds some sparkle, which of course I love! Tags are fun because they're so versatile - you can use them on gifts, cards, or scrapbook pages like I'm going to do with this one.

After I cut out the ladybug, I used scalloped scissors to cut around the red circle and then inked the red cardstock to make the dry embossed paper pop a little better. These are a few fun challenges I entered:

Erin Lee Creative wanted something with a destroyed technique.
Cooking with Cricut wanted an embossed project.
Fantabulous Cricut is looking for a project featuring your favorite season.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

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

Flower Embellishment Layout

For this page, I made my own embellishment using wire & beads and then I just twisted it around to make a flower. I used glue dots to adhere the silk flower and button and to attach the whole thing to the page.


Over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, they're having a challenge to make your own embellishment, so I thought I would do that and get one more layout behind me trying to catch up with my scrapbooking :) Have a great day!

Surfer Birthday Card

Using My Minds Eye's Breaking Free adventure Series I cut the 12x12 in half to make a 6x6 card. I used Star 1 from George and Basic Shapes and cut several out to layer and make the sun. I used stickles in crystal and frosted lace for the clouds and the wave. The sun and MME surf board are popped out with demensionals. The Birthday Wishes on the surf board is a Karen Fosters rub-on transfer Happy Birthday series.

Have a great day!
