Thoughtful Tidings SOTM Blog Hop...

Pin It

Another month has passed so that means it's time for another SOTM Blog Hop...this time with the NEW Spring/Summer Idea Book!!!!  And...let me tell you that it was GREAT to finally get back in my scrapbook room and create!  This big belly of mine is zapping all the energy out of me...not sure if it's because this go 'round I'm older or if it's because she's a girl but I'm definitely needing a little "me time" with a boost of energy and this Blog Hop did just that (if only for a couple of hours...lol). 

If you've come from Lisa's Blog, you're on the right track.  Just keep hopping around 'till you get back to where you started.  If you happen to get lost, you can always go to Helen's Blog where she has a list of all the February SOTM hoppers.

Here's a glimpse of what the stamp set looks like...it has quite a few shapes that can be cut using the A/P Cartridge which is always nice!

-----------------------------------------------

Here's what I did with the stamp set using a couple of NEW Paper Packets....Superhero and Cruisin'

 ----------------------------

Here's a side view showing the dimension...I used the A/P Cricut Cartridge to cut my sentiment oval and used the Banners Dimensional Elements that you get with the A/P Cartridge for the red 'ribbon'...

 ---------------------------

And...here is what the inside looks like

Now...hop on over to Jill's Blog and see what she's come up with this month!  Remember, the NEW Idea Book goes live today so get with your CTMH Consultant and get your hands on a copy!  If you don't have a consultant, leave me a comment with your contact information and I'll let you know how to get both the Idea Book and February's SOTM FREE!

Dr. Seuss Baby Shower...

Pin It

A little over 2 years ago, I had the opportunity to be a hostess at a baby shower for one of my dear friends!  For some reason, I never posted pictures of the corsage and the diaper cake I made for her...the theme was Dr. Seuss since they were one of the rare couples that didn't want to know the sex of the baby prior to the birth...

The first several pictures are of the corsage...I built it on a diaper, attached a flower, a pacifier, a pair of socks, a wash clothe and tied it with a ribbon...

Here's the back view...

--------------------------------------

Here's the diaper cake...I just did an online search and found several tutorials...of course I had to add my personal touches...lol.  There are some baby items around the cake as well as some stuffed in crevices (like the other pacifier, pair of socks and the wash clothes from the packets I bought for the corsage)

Some more Wedding Signs...

Pin It

These "Mr and Mrs" signs were at our Table....I bought frames from Dollar Tree...tried to find some more ornate ones AND ones that weren't cheap-looking (you have to be really careful as you get what you pay for...lol).  I picked this font because it was "fancy" and just ran some Colonial White Cardstock through my printer, cut them down to size and waaalaaa...

-------------------------------------------

These were our table numbers...again, using frames for the Dollar Tree...printed the numbers using this font on Colonial White Cardstock, stamped the corner using the largest image from the Friendship Stamp Set (February 2011 SOTM) and Cocoa Ink, matted on some Sweet Leaf B&T from the Wings Paper Packet (retired)...and matted again on Cocoa Cardstock.  For a final touch, I hand drew a fine cocoa line all around the edge of the Colonial White Cardstock.

January Blog Hop...

Well...another month has flown by so that means it's time for a Blog Hop!!!!

If you've come from Wendy's Blog, you're on the right track...just keep on hopping 'till you get back to where you started.

Here's a look at the stamp set and what CTMH has done with it...

My mojo has been MISSING lately so luckily I did all my artwork back in November at a weekend scrapbooking retreat...I used Roxy and Typeset Paper Packets...stamped the numbers all in row then restamped the #7 in Sorbet, cut it out and used 3-D Foam Tape to make it stand out. 

 ----------------------

Here's a closeup...once I find out a little 7-yr old to give this to, I'll mark he month and date on the round calendar....

------------------------

Here's a second card made to resemble a postcard for change of address or "we've moved" type card...I used Elemental Paper Packet and Grey Wool cardstock (the house is cut using the A/P Cartridge)...

 ----------------------

Here's the back...the calendar is meant to be used to mark the date the change of address will take place...
