Birthday cupcake

Hello everyone, I hope you've been keeping dry during these tremedous down pours we've been having in So. Cal. I'm not complaining for the much needed rain, but it's been too much. And it's been especially hard for the folks in the burn areas in Flintridge, La Canada... We're praying for you.
Well it's time for another post created with my new toy, the Spellbinder! Since we're still in time for Valentines, and my birthday is on February 1st. I wanted to use the "My minds eye -Beloved" designer paper for this creation too. It's just so pretty and versatile.

I started with a simple white cardstock for the base. Then I wanted to pop the colors of the designer paper with chocolate chip, real red, and groovy guava(discontinued). Once I had my starting piece I used my spellbinder to cut the scalloped edge circle for the base of my cupcake and sentiment.

Making the cupcake was fun. I wanted it have some dimension, so I stamped it first on the circle then I layered it with the different colors to match the designer paper. After I stuck my ribbon on with a strong adhesive, I layed the cupcake base on top for the finishing touch. Pretty cute, huh? I hope you like it and than you again for stopping by. Tooddles.

Be-loved Birthday

Hello everyone, thank you for visiting. Well it almost time for Valentines Day and everyone is already creating beautiful cards. I love the combinations of the pinks, reds and browns. It's more interesting when there's other colors thrown in there to make them pop.

For instance take this latest creation. I fell in love with this paper collection from My minds eye called Be-loved. It has a different colors that I relate to from Stampin' Up. Sage Shadows, Groovy guava (discountinued), Real reds. My co-worker asked that I make her daughter a birthday card. And seeing how its in February, I thought I but in a Valentines design it in. Isn't this paper beautiful?! Well I hope you like, and I hope come back again. Tooddles!

Color throwdown #74

Hi there, thanks for visiting. So today I wanted to share with you another challenge I ran across a couple of weeks ago. It's called Color Throwdown, and they suggest colors for the weeks challenge.

It's a terrific blog to go to when you've got creator's block. So I gave it a go and the following is my take on the challenge.

I started with the SU! Sweet Always dsp, regal rose, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, and dusty durango cardstock. I used the "Trees for all season" (discontinued) and "Trendy trees" SU! sets.  And for the center piece I used the ticket corner punch. I hope you like it. Tooddles.

The Pink Elephant challenge #48 and O.C.C SASSC47

Hello everyone, thanks for dropping by. I found this really cute blog called The Pink Elephant challenge. I really liked their ideas and I thought I'd give it a try.

The challenged called for 2 designer paper, 3 buttons and some snowflakes. I did all the requires but one. I didn't think the button would pull it off. But I did make up for it with the 3 scalloped edged cicles and the 3 different snowflakes from SU! snow flurries set. The designer paper came from Cloud 9 called Cocoa Mint from the local craft store. The basic color cardstock is SU!'s chocolate chip and Baja breeze. I hope you like it. please come again.. Tooddles.

And I'm back in the game....

Hey folks, I'm back! It's a new year and I have new creations to share with you. So I'd like to share my creation for the new Mojo challenge #120.

I had so much fun playing with this sketch with my new toy, the Spellbinder. Aside from the small templates it came with I purchased the Classic scalloped large circles, that was perfect for this.

I started with a basic white cardstock for my card, then used Stampin' Up Candy Lane dsp for the background and the two other large pieces. I also used Chocolate chip cardstock for the scallop edge and the whats underneath the pattern paper. For the sentiment part, I used Spellbinders shapeabilities ribbon tag trio. For the greeting I used the SU! A happy heart set. The ribbon is SU! Pretty in pink 1/4" ribbon and pinned it down with a red brad. For my main image I used Dressy Ebony from the Greeting farm digital stamps. And for the circle scalloped edge I used SU! Ridding hood red and Pretty in pink. I hope you like it, and thanks for visiting. Tooddles!

If the mountain wont come to Mohammad...

Well folks I didn't get everything I wanted for Christmas, so I got it my damn self..lol. I was really wishing and hoping I'd get my Spellbinder and some shapeabilities or borderabilities.. something named funny like that... but no such luck. So I decided to use my "rainy day" money and invested. It sounds better if I say "invested" rather than say "spend". Unfortunately because of Christmas and New Years being so close together, it'll take longer than usual to be delivered... but no worries, it'll be hear before I'd remember I'd ordered it. Anyhoo, I thought I'd fill you guys in on my creative dry spell for now and I'll keep you posted. Tooddles!
