I think this is a wonderful idea :) When I was younger I started reading books by Lurlene McDaniels who wrote about kids with cancer or other life changing diseases. SO I have always had a soft spot for sick kids. I have always tried to learn more about cancer and other childhood diseases. When I was old enough I volunteered at a local hospital and helped out on the Oncology floor during one summer.

For todays card I made Minnie Mouse, who doesn't love Disney :) I have always loved Disney since I was little and probably will forever! I LOVE the way this card turned out :) I should have used my Imagine to print the polka dot paper but didn't feel like hooking it up, so I just used my Polka Dot stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps.

Supplies:

Cricut

ATG gun

Stampin' Dimensionals

Zig Two Way glue pen

Stamp- from Michaels

Diamond Stickles

Mickey and Friends Cartridge

Cardstock

Distress Ink (Black Soot) and Blender

LargePolka Dot Stamp-Peachy Keen Stamps

For my Valentine's cards I wanted to make Mickey and Minnie, so Today you will see Mickey and tomorrow Minnie. I choose this die cut of Mickey and Pluto because my little boy loves Mickey and Pluto and can't wait to go to Mickey and Pluto's house whenever he finally gets to go to Disneyland :) I am sure someone at St. Judes will love Mickey and Pluto as much as my son does :)

For my project I decided to make a Baby Winnie the Pooh layout, I have been wanting to use these characters ever since I got the cartridge a year ago :) I have used the font on this cartridge but not the characters until now. I usually would have used a lighter blue and more babyish color for my layout, but since Pooh and Tigger are bright colors, it looked better this way! 

Here is the other half of the layout and also a picture of the pages side by side :)

 

Supplies:

Blue, Green, Black, Orange, White, Cream, Red, Golden Yellow, Brown Cardstock

Black Soot Distress Ink and Blender

Diamond and Pink Stickles

Liquid Pearls

Zig Two way pen

ATG gun

Cricut Expression

Pooh and Friends Cartridge and Pooh Font Cartridge

Glitter & Bling Blog Hop January 21st-22nd Day 2

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back to the Glitter & Bling Blog Hop for Day 2!

Be sure to check out all the wonderful projects projects on this super fun hop!

If you came from Lynne K's Blog  then you are in the right place!

If you would like to start at the beginning head to Gill's Blog!

Now on to my Day 2 project!

Pam really loves shoes! So I wanted to make her a pair to go with her purse card! This shoe was the main reason why I bought the Princess Party Event Cartridge! I thought it was SUPER CUTE!!!  It was also easy to make :) I used this awesome paper they sell at Target, the only problem is it doesn't photograph well :(  I made the shoe as big as it would go and cut it out. At first I thought I would be spending a lot of time scoring everything.. but after scoring the first line I realized that I didn't need to score it, and worked great just folding on the premarked lines... :) and then I glued a few of the spots and used my sharpie to color in the heart on the shoe. I decided I wanted to make the shoe be able to hold candy. SO since it is an open toed shoe I used part of the packaging that the Cricut cartridges come in and cut a piece of the corner that would fit in the shoe to help hold the candy in. ( The shoes look WAY cuter in person..)

Here are a few pictures of the shoes with and without the chocolates in them.

Supplies:

Imagine Machine

Princess Party Even Cartridge

Black Sharpie

Paper- from Target

3-In-1 Advanced Craft Glue

Plastic corner from the Cricut Cartridge wrapper

Now on to my Day 1 project!

I signed up for this blog hop months ago and knew exactly who I wanted to make my projects for! My Brother's Girlfriend Pam! I helped my brother out last year and make a card for him to give to her. So since I knew I would be participating in this hop I asked him if I could make her card again this year. When I think of "Sparkly" things I think of her :) SO today I will be showing you the card I made her and come back tomorrow and you will see the Sparkly shoes I made her to put her favorite chocolates in!

Happy Birthday Pam!

I hope you like your purse and shoes I made :)

 

I love the way this purse card came out! It took me several times to get it the way I liked it. First it was bigger and had Stickles on it but I wasn't satisfied I liked the way it looked so I tried a few other things and finally decided I like this one best!

I printed the purse using the Imagine and the "Better Together" cartridge.  I then used the "Tie the Knot" cartridge to make the "P" on the front of the purse card. I love the way this "P" looks, very classy! I added some silver package trim as the purse handle and then I decided to color the top part black and add a row of rhinestones with my I-Rock. I also outlined it in black and put "Happy Birthday" on the inside with matching paper.

Supplies:

Imagine Machine

Better Together and Tie The Knot Cartridges

Black Sharpie

Holiday Trimmings for the handle

White cardstock

I-Rock and Rhinestones

Glue Dots
