Say It Big - Hi

Hello,
Today is my day to post over at
and today I am sharing a super simple card.
I have used the Say It Big Stamp Set Today
from the June Release
The cute bike is from Miss Kate's Cuttables
it was a freebie in June, but you can still get it for .50 cents!!
The card base and design elements are from
My Scrap Chick's Card Essentials 2 file.
I love this file, it makes designing a
card quick and  easy
 
 Here is a close up of the sentiment.
 
I love the versatility of this set.
You can buy it HERE
 
Thanks so much for stopping by today :)

Vacation Pictures and Baby Shower Card

Hello,
Happy Friday, and yeah it is a 3 day weekend!!
I wanted to do a quick post, one to share a couple
of photos from my recent vacation trip to
the central coast of California, and 2nd to share a
recent project I made for a friend.
We were lucky enough to be able to
travel with one of our 3 Spoiled Dogs!!
This was her first visit to the beach and she loved it!! 
This is my sweet little Ginger.
 Isn't that the sweetest face ever!!
 
Ok, ready for more cuteness?
A friend at work asked me to make a
baby shower card using a penguin. 
The Penguin is from SVG Cutting Files
The card base and design elements are from
My Scrap Chick's Card Essentials 2 file.
Paper is from Doodlebug
Of course I added a sweet Peachy Keen face!!
Both sentiments are from CDD STamps
Sugar and Spice Stamp Set
 
You can but it HERE 
She was giving the Mom to Be a Gift Basket
So I made some decorations on dowels
to help dress up the basket.
The words are from Miss Kate's Cuttables.


Thanks for stopping by, I hope you
enjoyed my pictures :)

The theme for this

Our wonderful sponsors this week are:

I used product from all 3
f our sponsors this week!!
I created an apple shaker card.
That apple card is part of the SHAPE CARDS 1
file from My Scrap Chick
I used my Silhouette Cameo to create an
internal offset to create the window.  
I filled my shaker with sequins and chunky glitter.
I added some enamel dots along the edge.
Our wonderful sponsor Clearsnap
provided the design team with
Colorbox Ink Pads and some Daubers
I used the ink to to stamp my sentiment from
the CDD Stamps School Zone Stamp Set.
I also used a dauber and the ink to
ink the edges of my tag.
