What's your favorite flower?

For some odd reason I have not been able to get on my blog for over a week now, finally got it all straightened out with some assitance and I can post again. Here is my project for The Cuttlebug Spot this week. We all created projects with out favorite flowers. This week I went out on a limb and stepped out of my box and tried to make my own handmade rose. I am pretty pleased with the end result for a first attempt. I made my rose out of 22 lb copy paper that I inked up with three different shades of red/pink inks.

Make sure you stop in at The Cuttlebug Spot and check out all my DT sisters fabulous flower projects. And don't forget to enter your project in our random weekly drawing...just make sure you mention that the project is for The Cuttlebug Spot and there is embossing on it to qualify. This weeks lucky random winner will get a $50 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp, our sponsor this week!

Another Spring Blog Hop Challenge!

As promised, here is my design for our challenge this week at Practical Scrappers. Our challenge at Practical Scrappers for the blog hop is "bling". Show us all your projects with that "glim and glam" on it!

On my project, I took a wooden birdhouse that I purchased at Joann's for only $1.00, painted the entire house with a base of teal acrylic paint. Then I pulled out last years DCWV Spring stack and started to find pattern papers that I liked. I grabbed a few that caught my eye and just started covering it. I used my Martha Steward "double loop" border punch to create the overhang off the roof. I also used my Colorbok turquoise metal tear drops to create the shingles and my Studio 18 rhinestones. The flowers I cut using my cricut and an SVG file from My Scrap Chick,one of my favorite places to find SVG's to use with my SCAL! The little birds are the brand new Inkadinkado summer release stamps that I found at my Joann's in the dollar bins.

Here's my first project for the Spring Challenge Blog Hop ( you dont get to see the other until Wednesday for my reveal day at Practical Scrappers). This one here is for The Cuttlebug Spot. I picked some pics from the 1500 I have from our recent trip to Disney at Christmas (I've been dreading scrapping them because I have so many). Here's a 2 pg design I came up with to knock off 10 of those pictures (the Chef Mickey title is actually a pic I took of the sign and just cut out).



and here's a pic of each page by itself so you can better see the bling I used and the embossing that was done on all photo matting using the Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder.
