Party Decorations

Well, I've been working hard to get an example of the party decor I can make listed in my Etsy shop.  It took a while since I live in Germany and had to wait FOREVER to get materials in.  And, I'm still waiting for some things to arrive.  But, here's what I have done so far:

It's not much, but it's a start.  I'm hoping to make banners, signs, treat bag toppers, and thank you notes, also.  I'd love to make a little money to help support my crafting obsession (and our travels while we're here in Europe).  Well, just thought I'd share what I've been up to.  Thanks for stopping by!





Robot Valentine

I've had this robot card designed in my Gypsy for a while now, but I wasn't really inspired to actually make it.  There are some great challenges out there right now, though, that are perfect for this little card.  Jitterbuggin' is having a Non-Traditional Valentine Challenge, Cricut Cardz is having a Valentine for a Man Challenge, and More than Favors is having a Yellow, Blue, and White Challenge.  So, here's what I created to enter into all three of these fun challenges:

The robot came from...can you guess?   Yep, the Robotz cartridge!  :o)   The hearts came from Paisley, and the card base came from Wild Card.  The blue and white patterned paper is from Oriental Trading Co., and the yellow paper is from the DCWV Citrus Stack.  The sentiment is computer generated with a free font that I found on the Internet.  This is yet another card in the running for my husband's  V-day card.  I may have to do a whole week's worth!  :o)  Well, thanks so much for visiting, and remember...I LOVE your comments!  ;o)

Just Saying Hello

Wow!  There are so many great challenges going on this week!  I just made a card to qualify for two of them.  The Jitterbuggin' Challenge Blog is having a challenge where we can use brown and only one other color, and 2 Scraptastic Gals is having a Create a Critter challenge.  So, I decided to make a card with the cute little beaver from Create a Critter using just the colors brown and blue.  Here it is:

I designed the card on my Gypsy (of course...it seems like I always do now that I have it).  The card base is actually from the window function on the Robotz cartridge.   I didn't make the card have a window though, I just cut out the card without the window and then cut out the window separately to make the blue layer.  I inked the beaver and the brown card with Walnut distress ink, and I inked the blue part with Weathered Wood distress ink.   The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I added some ribbon, and he was all done.  I hope you like him!  :o)

Space Ranger Spin Layout

So, I decided to finish up a scrapbooking layout today.  I'm working on my Magic Kingdom portion of our Disney World album (which I've been working on for 2 years--off and on).  Here is a layout about Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin:

I cut the title from the Robotz cartridge (I welded the shadow layer together using my Gypsy, first).  I don't have the Toy Story cartridge yet, so the Buzz Lightyear, Zurg, and Astro Blaster were SVGs that all came from Mardenz (just search for Toy Story).  I cut them out with Make-the-Cut.  The background paper came from a Disney paper pack I bought ages ago.  I'm really happy with how this layout came out, and I can't wait to make another one!  :O)  I hope you like it, too!
