Father's Day Project

Worked on this fun little project last night, it's an altered frosting container.  I save all kinds of containers hoping to someday find a use for them, so I was happy to see Susan's Dad's and Grad's blog hop project challenge to alter a jar/can with photos.

Lots of photos of this one little jar, but I wanted you to be able to see all the way around:

Added a few rub-ons and some rhinestones

Inked the chipboard, applied glitter to the 's', added pearl centers and glitter to the petals of the paper Prima flowers

Trimmed the top with mini pom-pom fringe, and the inside with rick-rack and pp

I gave it my hubby for Father's Day, but told him that I was keeping it (afterall it matches my stUdio colors better than his office at work).  I believe his smile showed some relief that he wouldn't be the laughing stock of the firm with a flowered pen holder on his desk!  It's a win-win!

You 3 are my greatest Accomplishment

A layout for Carla's sketch challenge for Scrapbook Heaven's Dads and Grads hop.

Used some Creative Imaginations rub-ons and a bit of Cuttlebug love to jazz up the tag. Fonts are Dirty Ego and CK Becky.

  

Thanks and hope

Cuttlebug and Cosmo Cricket

It's the end of the school year here, and that means saying thank you to all the fabulous teachers that the boys spent the year with.  I paired a Cuttlebug embossing folder with some Cosmo Cricket paper--it was a perfect match for some super quick cards.

In 3 easy steps:

1. Cut paper: cardstock base (5.5x8.5), background solid paper with white core (5.25x4), accent pieces from pp
2. Emboss bg paper with Cuttlebug folder and sand away some color from raised texture.
3. Stamp sentiment, and embellish card with cut accents.

Method Playground: Borders

The challenge over at the Playground this week is to use borders on your LO.  You could use punches, stickers, rub-ons, die cuts, or be lazy like me and cut apart a sheet of patterned paper to create some borders (like the ever fabulous Cosmo Cricket Ribbon Sandwich paper from the Early Bird line).

And then if you're really lazy, you'll pair this challenge up with a sketch .

Be sure to head over to Method Playground to see the rest of the DT's fantastic designs.  And then play along with us by linking up your project in the comments.  Who knows, you might win a fabulous prize that I am now pining for!  Go, check it out!  You have until the 27th of June.
