WISH BIG... 3 D BIG

OK, remember this layout? I liked it and wanted to use it again... I had hoped that I would have received the Build a Cupcake punch (2011 Occasions Mini), I haven't so I had to make due with a retired set (Big Bold Birthday). I counted on my handy little Creative Coach Color - to give me a the Daffodil to go with the Cherry Cobbler and Espresso I had out since  I should have been preparing Valentines I love the Espresso with Cherry Chobbler.. its like CHOCOLATE CHERRIES!... YUMMY!

So here is what I did...

Stamped three images, cut three images, put them together with dimensionals.



Side view- shows 3 layers separated by dimensionals



Ingredients:

Stamps: Big Bold Birthday, Word Play

CS: Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil & Espresso

Large circle punch, white embossing powder, daffodil ribbon

Hugs the ones you love!

Thank you for stopping by!

Just for YOU...a BIG Wish!

When you just need a little something... to make someone feel special....

These test tubes will do it!

All sorts of items to be nestled in the tube for enjoyment. The Smarties were my way of pulling colors together for a card. It also helped that the recipient LOVES THEM!!!

The test tube measures 10 inches tall, which equals 3 sleeves of Smarties - just in case you needed to know. I used textured Rich Razzleberry & Tempting Turquoise DSP with a hint of Pear Pizzazz. Added alittle bling & wah la ! great gift combo!!!

Ingredients:

CS: Textures Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise DSP, Textured Pear Pizzazz; Ink: Black, Rich Razzleberry; Rhinestones; Rich Razzleberry Ribbon, Tempt. Turquoise Ribbon

Razzleberry Wishes

10 minutes- one card - needs to have elements... This must have worked

My daughter needed a card - "like YESTERDAY" - so I HAD to be fast! ... but pretty, and she grabbed the colors and '"stuff"... the cardbase is tectured rich razzleberry with razzleberry ribbon wrapped around the middle. The Turquoise was cut using the Square Duo from Big Shot (first time using it!!!) and the sentiment is the small one! The buttons were her last minute "OH YEAH" moment. The coordinating bag was just kraft bag with the stripped razzleberry ribbon on it. Nothing worth showing .. dont tell my daughter that!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Early Blue Pizzaz.... {insert witty title here}

Last night before dinner, I was listening to the 13 yo talk on the phone about what to wear on picture day. I heard her say "Seriously? You are going to wear that and have what color background?".. it was followed by this look of disgust and then she says "OK, well I think you need color coaching...".. which was enough to make my belly laugh and then get busy on the latest Color Combo by Picture Perfect Creations.

When my daughter finished her call, and arrived in the craft cave she said "NO WAY A PINWHEEL! I LOVE THOSE THINGS- DOES IT MOVE?" ... I had to tell her that I was gluing it on the cardbase and not going to spin, but we could make one that did if she liked for her own enjoyment. Somehow it must have sounded like 'work' or chore, she shook her head and left the room shortly.

Avenged Amy (Canadian SU! Consultant) has a video here, but they are everywhere on the net.

I did make a few more, in different sizes. I wanted to tear this a part and redo it alittle bit, but I like the simple side of this - so maybe I will keep it like this... who knows.

Before my daughter left this AM for school, I asked about her friends outfit for today and she said "She cannot wear a orange shirt and have a purple background, Mom, she will look like Halloween everytime someone opens the year book".... Enough said I guess...

Ingredients: Word Play, Baroque Motifs

CS: Pear Pizzaz, Bashful Blue, Early Espresso

Ink: Early Espresso

Bashful Blue ribbon, silver filagree brad, Rhinestone 3/4 circle punch

Have a great day!

Wish BIG!

I love the paper that will not be available once the Summer Catalog ends on August 31 and didn't realize I still had so much of the Island Oasis Paper left in my stash.... what to do? ... well GEEZ.. it looks like it will work well with some birthday cards I need.

I have to admit, I stare at these dots and have to close one eye when I am working with it! I love the way its looks when things are combined but getting it put get together is alittle bit like a circus act.. but I digress... I love most the melting candle part at the top. The glitter won the coin toss over the Crystal Effects... and yes, I have done that as a decision maker!

Here is a combination of the Summer Catty and new stamp set from the IBC... Word Play.. (this will get so much use, I am telling ya now! )
