Swapping Saturday 1-10-09

Cute as a Bug is the title and I would have to agree.  this page is definitely cute.

cute-as-a-bugI recieved this swap at Convention last year.  I absoultly love it and love the colors.  I really wish she would have put her name on it so I could give her credit.  This page is extra fun because of what she did with each of the bugs on the side. 

cb-dragonflyThe Pacific Point Dragonfly has Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on it’s wings.

cb-catapilerThe Tangerine Tango Caterpillar has blag Chunky Glitter for it’s stripes.

cb-grasshopperThe Kiwi Kiss Grasshopper has Crystal Effects on it’s big eye.

cb-wormThe Ridding Hood Red Worm has red microbead on it’s stripes.

 

 

 

These fun effects really add to the page.  I encourage you to think outside the box and try some of these fun effects.

Update- This page was created by Kelly Hymas.

Freewheeling Friday 1-9-09

This is another page swap that I made.  It think it was for convention last year.

dino-play-pagesI used the Jumbo Roller Spot On #107559 $8.50 for the side piece then finished the rest of it with our fun dinosaur set Prehistoric Pals #111106 for $18.95. 

I wanted to use the new in-colors, but at the time I couldn’t buy enough to use for all the back ground.  So I used the Always Artichoke with the Baja Breeze, Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango.

The play is stamped with Whisper White ink with our Big Deal Alphabet set. #107345 for $40.95.

I used the Twill Tape #105245 $5.95 to hang the dino tag on with linen thread #104199 $4.50. 

I have 4 boys and one loves dinosaurs so I thought this would make a really fun scrapbook page.

Thrifty Thursday 1-8-09

This is the Birthday card that I made for our Stampin’ Up! Birthday Celebration.  I decided to use it for Thrifty Thursday because it is so easy to make and the style allows you to use all the paper in the DSP pack. 

celbrate-b-day-cardI have used the Rainbow Sherbet #112471.  Not only does this paper sound yummy, but it is just so cute.  This card is very versital and can be used for either a boy or a girl.

The basic card is made with Apricot Appeal.  Then I used Gable Green behind the DSP.  I used Tempting Turquoise for the scallop and the 1/4″ ribbon then top off the ribbon with Apricot Appeal 1 /4″ grosgrain ribbon.

My Scallop is actually a special embosslit die that said 20 years.  It is to celebrate Stampin’ Up! 20 years in business this year.  However you could use the scallop circle punch. I covered it with a tag from the deer friends hostess set and punched it out with our 1 3/8 circle punch to create a beautiful layered look.  I didn’t want the tag to be stamped in just one color so I use our Stampin’ Markers to color directly onto the Stamp.

I finished the card by stamping happy birthday for the Bitty Birthday set #110994 for $12.95.  Because the tag just says a little something you could leave off the Birthday stamp or stamp it with a variety of other stamps for almost any occasion. 

So between the versatile saying and being able to use all the designer series paper on just one card lay out I think this card is very thrifty

Wacky Wednesday 1-7-09

Well I’m in Florida today enjoying the warm weather, so I thought I would share with you a nice summer project.  This project is really so easy.  I just bought a frame (I think I got this one at wall-mart.)  Then I added our great rub-ons.  I love how perfectly the words went with the pictures.  I used the Perfect Day rub-ons #111277 for $10.95.  To create my frame.

summer-frameThis was a fun day we had with my Brother and his family at Bearlake 2 summers ago.  It really was just a perfect day.

Try out one of our great rub-on’s today to custimize your own frame.
