Birthday Ice Cream

I was inspired by a card created by Kim Wilson, from CardMakerMagazine, July '11 issue.  Paper is by DCWV & TPC.  I used three different stamp sets by Stamps of Life:  frame from Hearts2Love, ice cream from Scream4IceCream, sentiment from Banners4You. 

I'm entering the following challenges:
Penny's - Here comes summer
2 Sisters Challenge - Anything goes

Ice cream makes everthing BETTER!

Except the card base, all are paper scraps including the die cut.  The ice cream cone and sentiment are from Stamps of Life, Scream4IceCream stamp set.  I've had it for a month and just now got to use it.  Sprinkles are pearls by Recollections.  Difficult to see on the picture, but there's a light shimmer and the color of the twine is brown and light red.

I'm entering this card to the following challenges:
Crafty Ho's - Use twine
Stamp Something - use any sentiment
Pile It On - Cake/Ice cream with Sprinkles

PCW Cutting File Challenge - Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day!


Today starts another challenge at Paper Crafting World, create any project Memorial theme and must have a star.  Here's a page I created for my shadow box.  I used the Kisses 2 U  and Star Lace for the background.

 Instead of holding the chocolate kiss, she's now holding the American flag.  The flag is a SVG by Annel, but I converted into a digi stamp; I also created the title.  All paper is DCWV. Twine is by Devine Twine; white ribbon Michael's.

I'm entering this layout to the following challenge:
For Fun Challenges - Use patriotic colors

Glitter Explosion Blog Hop {CLOSED}

Welcome to the Glitter Explosion blog hop.  Inspired by Dulce....one of her glitter glue bottles clogged up and when she squeezed a bit too hard she said, "Nina, it was a glitter explosion!"  :-)
I'm super excited to have these wonderful talented group of crafters joining me today  and a special welcome to John!  See, told ya men craft too!

OK so glitter can get is messy, but I still like it....everything looks better with glitter! Here's a card I created using Martha Stewart's Glitter By Number, Retro Flower kit.  I bought it after Christmas sale for $3....I had planned to use the glitter for other projects, but never got around to it.

Here's my second card, the glitter paper is by DCWV and the saying is from the bottom of a cupcake wrapper by Paula Deen.  The cupcake and the "happy birthday" circle is a stamp set by SOL HappyBday2You.
