Baby Bear Carriages

 Ok, i saw something close to this on a site somewhere, but do not remember where I saw it, so if someone knows where I saw it, please let me know so that I may give credit.  I thought these were just outstanding.  Just way to cute.  They do open on the side as a card.  These would make a great little something to give as a gift for a card holder or just a simple card to go along with a gift.  I made one in certainly celery, bashful blue, so saffron and a purple color that is old and retired. 

I wanted to show the baby bear up close...he has a mini matching colored brad as his binky!!  Here is how I made them:
-  largest spellbinders:  scalloped circle for the carriage (paper was folded in half then cut out)
-  wheels:  1-1/4" circle for outside, 1" for colored part and 3/4" for the stamped image that came from circle circus.
-  bear is 1" for head, 3/4" for outer ear, 1/2" for inner pink ear and for the paws.  I hand drew on the eyes and nose.  Then popped in a mini brad for the binky.  Topped off the carriage with colored bow and bear with a mini knotted white bow.  I so hope you enjoy my baby bear carriages.

Witchy Halloween Pentagon Treat Tube

 This is my creation for the pentagon treat tube challenge with Kim over at http://www.paperpunchaddiction.com/.  I also used the wonderful super cute witch punch art idea from her as well.  I hope I did it justice for both the witch head and the tube.  Let me know what you think, I always love getting feedback!

I embossed a piece of clear asitate (spelled wrong I know-not enough coffee in system to spell right this morning!!)  and embossed it with the SU! spiderweb folder.  I also used my MS spiderweb border punch for the top and bottom of the tube.  I older son just loved it and now wants it for himself.  I told him, "I have to take a pic of it first to enter it into a challenge then you can have it!"  He will get it today when he comes home from school.

Diva Coffee Break Designs 222 & Whimsical Wednesday Challenges 1

THIS SCRAPBOOK PAGE WAS THE WINNER FOR THE 1ST CHALLENGE AT WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY!! WHOOO...HOOOO!!
Ok, I am so excited about these pages for two reasons.  #1 its my first chance to enter the all new weekly challenge at http://www.whimsicalwednesdays.blogspot.com/ and #2, my typical style to scrapbook is the Creative Memories way, but I am trying to get away from that and try new things.  I love all my SU! supplies and I am trying to create more scrapbook pages using my stamp sets instead of stickers.  So this is my stab at trying to do my Easter themed scrapbook pages and use only stamp sets.  I also added a little butterfly to each egg on the top page to follow along with whimsical wednesdays Easter/critter theme.  I also used the colors of pacific point, tangerine tango and real red for the challenge at http://www.divacoffeebreakdesigns.blogspot.com/   I added a little choc. chip with some whisper white.  I hope you have enjoyed taking a peek at my Easter pages, cause I had a blast making them.  Sorry my pics are not the best,  I still need to create some kind of special lighting for taking pics of cards and such to post online!!
 

Tuesday Morning Sketches 88

I wanted to keep this card as cute and simple as the sketch from http://www.tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.com/.  I also was in the mood to make an Easter card.  I am so bad at not remembering what the times of stuff is, I just pick out what I want and go to town creating.  So I can't even tell you what brand paper this is.  The ribbon is a sheer orange ribbon that I picked up at Michaels and I used my Spellbinders Nest. Scalloped Circle shapes.  The "Happy Easter" is from a retured SU! easter set that I got off of Ebay last year and again, could not tell you the name of it.  Man, I am so bad:(  Hope you enjoy the card though!!

New Mini Notepad Handbag

Ok, I will have to admit that making these cute little mini notepade handbags are so addicting!  I can't stop, but this was the very first one that I made.  I made another one and entered it into a challenge for http://www.ppc-challenges.blogspot.com/ just this morning, but thought someone might like to look at others that I have made.  I also made a yellow one for my friend.  I don't think I took a picture of that one, but will get her to email it to me, so I can post that one as well.  Hope you enjoy.  If you would like to know how I made it, let me know and I would be happy to pass the details on to you!

PPC-CC 54

This is my mini notepad handbag.  I made this for http://www.ppc-challenges.blogspot.com/, the colors to use is SU! melon mambo, w white, b black, and blushing bride.  I decided not to make a card for this challenge, cause I had promised to make one of these little notepads for my son and yes, he wanted it in pink.  He wanted the notepad for school, but I said I bought them for a purpose and he could not have one, then I got to thinking, I told him he could have one only if I made it into a handbag like intended for and if its for school he had to still take it and use it.  He said ok, and I was like, and you can't strip all the items off either.  He said I promise I won't, even make it pink and if I don't use it at school the way it is made, then I will pay you $10.  So the deal is on and the handbag has been made, he loved it last night, so lets see if he keeps his side of the bargin up!!!  If not, I had fun making it anyway.

I used the little mini marbel compsition books, that you can find at most Dollar Stores.  I measured over and up 1" on each side and cut them at that angle.  I then just decorated each side and Wala, you have a mini handbag notepad.  Hope you like!!
