Throwback Thursday!

Hiya and welcome to another Throwback Thursday Challenge. For this challenge we are using any retired cricut cartridge. You can go HERE for a list of retired cartridges. For my card today I used the Camp Out cartridge. I cut the base of the tree out of kraft cardstock and stamped the trunk with the Distressed Wood stamp from PinkByDesign. I cut the top of the tree out of watercolor paper and went crazy with about a billion distress inks. ;) I finished it by misting with copper perfect pearls.

The perfectly adorable sentiment is from Emma's set called All Around Halloween. OH and I also made my background paper out of watercolor paper and distress inks...and if you look VERY closely, you can see that along the bottom I used Emma's Stitched Only Circle Die which embosses. So it adds texture without cutting. ;) Ok...pop over to Emma's Blog to see what she and the other ladies made...AND to play along with us!!!!

***Since this is the challenge before Emma's new release...whoever plays along in this challenge has the change to be entered to win Emma's 9th Edition stamp release on the 19th!!! You only have one week to get your entries in this time...deadline for this challenge is Aug 17th***

Throwback Thursday...You make me SMILE

Hiya peeps! It's Throwback Thursday time again!!! Our challenge this time is to create a project using the good ol' Walk in My Garden cartridge. I turned one of the envelopes from the cartridge into a sort of card that is the gift too. I don't know how else to explain that! HA Untie the ribbon and voila!...

I have always loved this sweet turtle from WIMG. I gave her a face using the Critter Faces Small set from PeachyKeenStamps.com. I used Martha Stewart glitter on her shell which you can now get from PeachyKeenStamps.com too! Cool, huh?!

I used the harlequin stamp from Emma's My Journaling set to make the coordinating patterned paper at the bottom. The super sweet sentiment is from Emma's set called Turn That Frown Upside Down. So pop over to Emma's Blog to see what the rest of the design team made and to play along!

Turtley Hugs!

Throwback Thursday cards...and ribbon organization

Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge this week is to make a card without using the cricut. Here are a bunch of cards I came up with...

I used the boyfriend collection by cosmo cricket for these 2...

and a side look...

For the last 2, I used the man stack from DCWV

and a side...

I ♥ these mustaches!

I cut out select pieces and popped them up...

And lastly, I found a great use for these little canvas drawers from The Original Scrapbox! They fit little spools of ribbon perfectly! ☺ So now I can just pop them out of my big drawers super easily!!! Yippee skippy!

I hope you're having a GREAT day/evening!

Hoppy Hello *Throwback Thursday Challenge*

Hoppy Hello peeps! Emma has started a Throwback Thursday challenge over on her blog called My Creative Time. She is my new bestie, so I was stoked to give this a go {Aussie Lingo!} HEHEHE....Anyhoo, the idea behind the challenges will be to use our poor neglected older cricut cartridges. For her first challenge we were to use Animal Kingdom. If you don't have it, don't get your kangaroo tail in a twist...Just do a project with an animal theme. ;o) I have to say that this card just makes me happy! I love the Mama and baby roo's!

 

I stamped hi on the little roo's belly as a fun little surprise for the recipient to see when they pull her up. The ADORABLE faces were stamped with the Animal Faces Medium set from PeachyKeenStamps.com. For the baby roo I added an open mouth to make it look like she was yawning. The sunshine is cut out from Doodlecharms and it's face is stamped with the new stamp set called Princess Face Assortment from PeachyKeen. I used this stamp set on my Pin-up girl, but this shows you that they're super versatile! Love that set! The hoppy Hello sentiment is from papertreyink.com and so are the papers used here except for the patterned paper grass.

I hope you're having a Roo-tastic day! Head on over to Emma's Blog to join in on the new challenge fun!

BIG KANGAROO HUGS!!!!
