Stuck on Chocolate and Pink!!

It's Day 3 of my self-proclaimed Chcolate Chip week and I have another Chocolate Chip and Pink number for you! I love the way this layout came out!!! I got the layout idea from my most recent issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. I am a ribbon addict so this was the perfect layout for me!!!

These are pictures of my 2 1/2 year old twins: Danika and Makenzie.

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: NONE!!!

Paper: Chocolate Chip, and Berry Bliss DSP

Other: Various sizes and colors of SU grosgrain ribbon, Love and Happiness rub-ons (from sale-a-bration)

Tips for tying the bows: Use snail and wrap a piece of ribbon around the paper and secure. Next cut another piece of ribbon that is at least 12 inches long. If you are working with thicker ribbon (like my chocolate chip) you will need about 14 inches. I think that when people are tying boes- most people start with a piece of ribbon that is too short. The longer ribbon gives you more room to adjust and pull tight. Make sense???

I am happy!

Sickness seems to spur my creativity because I made a few really cute projects yesterday! Maybe it is a good thing that I still feel sick today. Maybe some more good stuff will come out of my stamp room.

So here is how I made this card:

I started with a 12x12 sheet of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I folded it in half. Then I took my Pick a Petal Classy Brass Template and traced it with a versamarker. I made it go just over the fold so that the card would open. I also used my versamarker to make the dots that the classy brass has on each scallop. I took my paper snips and cut the card the card base out. Then I took my 1/8 hole punch and punched each of the dots. Then I took my paper piercer and used the brass template to make the circle of piercings.

I used my Coluzzle and made two sizes of circles in Chocolate Chip and Soft Sky Cardstock. I used my Sale-a-bration chocolate chip rub-ons for the flowers and the sentiment. I added a few flowers from the flower fusion with a pumpkin pie rhinestone brad. I attached that to the card with demensionals. Finally, I tied a piece of chocolate chip ribbon around the top of the card.

I am really loving this card! The color combo is one of my favorites right now and those chocolate chip rub-ons are yummy!

Special surprise for my rub-on class!

I am having my rub-on class tonight. Each participant is supposed to get their own package of the Eastern Elegance rub-ons to use to make the projects. I ordered them over a week ago. But they aren't here!! I didn't want to cancel. So I got all my rub-ons out and they will make the projects with the rub-ons that I have. It may not be exactly like the sample- but they will learn how to use them! Then when their rub-ons arrive, they will have the entire package to use on their own! Well I still felt bad- so I decided to design an extra project for the class! This morning I made this 12x12 layout for my class to make with the sale-a-bration rub-ons and the Enjoy Every Moment stamp set. Hopefully this will keep them happy!

And aren't the pics of my girls from the park last week pretty cute?!

Project for the Children's Hospital!

I finished it! I decorated this tin with the East Coast Prep paper and then filled it with a dozen cards ( the rocket cards and the scallop birthday cards). My husband works at the hospital and he says that when one of the kids has a birthday, the nurses just fold a piece of copy paper in half and sign it. Everyone deserves a card on their birthday so I hope they enjoy these!

More Sale-A-Bration Scallops!

I hope that you guys don't get sick of this stamp set because I plan on using it a lot! I cased this card layout from some beautiful cards made by Heather. Check out her blog, Stampin with Heather. You'll find a link on the left side of my blog under "Blogs I like to Visit." I changed the stamps, paper, and ribbon that I used. I kept the Kraft colored cardstock as my base because I liked the way it makes all the other colors pop.

Recipe:

Stamps: So Many Scallops

Paper: East Coast Prep, Kraft, Real Red, Tempting Torquoise, Whisper White

Ink: Real Red

Other: circle punches, scallop punch, red grosgrain ribbon, silver brads

Very simple card!!
