Freebie Sentiment set

I made this sentiment set a while back for some cards I was making.
I hope you can use it , This set is my first attempt to make sentiments like this...
   Normally I just find someones Else's freebies
but I couldn't find what I was looking for so made my own.D
 Free & Available here till Wednesday's am post then it will be gone.
 Let me know if you like them , Thanks!

Freebie Sentiment set
Available from 8/8/2010 - 8/10/2010

just click on the image & right click on it to enlarge and copy.


This will fit on your 8.5 x 11 Standard  paper for the printer.  I would double check with a print preview just to make sure it is correct before I printed it out but it fits mine perfect. and I have made it so you cut it in half and then you cut each sentiment out separately...( at lease this is how I did I anyway)

Thanks for stopping by my blog hope you enjoy !

Robot Birthday card

Hello!
Happy Saturday...
=D
Today's  I am Sharing a Birthday card made 
( just click on the link to get to the Tiddly Ink store)
this is only 2.00 !
Such a cute image sure to be used many many times.  
I can just imagine adding a bow or a butterfly to the robot 
& TaDa its a girl robot!
=D



I used some grey card stock & some turquoise scrap card stock
hehehe... yup some of that pile of paper from Walmart once again...
I will make my way through it if it kills me!
I used the blender pen and made the surrounding outline blurred,
 added white gel pen highlights to the robot ( they are a bit harder to see in the photo)


The Nuts and Bolts are from the Sara Paris Style robot stamp set..
It's a super cute set with a few cute extras.
The Circle Happy Birthday is by DDDivas ( sorry no link as it was a freebie during a challenge)

I used my new circle cutter to cut the whole image out
 (2.00 at a garage sale, I love when I find something scrap worthy at one!).


I like it, very clean and simple card for a guy.. 
Which as we all know Guys can be super hard to make cards for.
I think the guy ( or Boy ) who receives this card will like it.

I hope you do, let me know what you think !
Thanks for stopping by!

Freebie alert !! Freebie alert !!
Freebie coming tomorrow!!
Make sure you come back to see what I have for you!

Pretty Pretty Princess card


Last weekend was CHA and I was busy around the house trying to get stuff done before I left. So I didn't get as much done as I would have liked but
I managed to make a few cards but never got to take pictures till today...(Yikes)
( I will make a separate post about CHA and all my goodies,
It was alot of fun and now I know what to do so I won't miss out on a thing! )


I made this Pretty Pretty Princess card, I was going for a bit more Clean and simple style but still have the pretties... I think it came out pretty good.

I had been looking for a sentiment to go with it but couldn't find anything I felt fit the card. 
I made one but then  decided not to use it.. LOL Ok I forgot to add it in my haste to finish the card ... but I don't really miss it to much..  and this way I can add something later for the correct occasion.

Please don't mind my rough edges ... the blade is shot on my trimmer and I needed to get a new one.. but had been putting it off.. then Rory the little guy Shoved it off the table  and broke on of the sides then did it again  and broke the other side...so now it is really broken.. Blah.. =D at least now I really NEED it! LOL..

I added some pretty roses in various sizes and some Jewels in various sizes to one side of the card and of course added lots of stickles to the dress, crown, and scepter..  I colored with Prisma markers and copics, and the paper is various scrap... ( but I know it was all bought some time ago at Walmart) 
Do you ever feel like you  have to get throught the old paper you bought before you can get to the new stuff? ... LOL I do and I swear I bought a huge stack of papttern paper and I am never going to get through it. its just so much.. I use it all the time though..  so maybe one day.. =P






Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!
 I have more so stay tuned! LOL I am setting up the schedule for them to post themselves...
 I am super busy getting ready fo Griffin to go back to school, getting ready for a road trip ( from IL. to Tx. To FL.)  with my sister! and I am getting ready to have a yard sale.. So much to do.. so little time.

I distressed edges slightly with charcoal ink &
 distressed the orange cardstock with the Tim Holtz tool.

I used my copics to color the stamped image

dotted the area I wanted to be softened.
This is a very forgiving technique that anyone can do.

I  stickled the flowers and the sentiment is from TLC Creations.. link to store...

An Apple a day...

When I saw this image at the Cherie Reve Store at Mygrafico.com
I thought this little guy was super cute and 
  that he is brushing his teeth is super funny to me ...
Because my little guy Rory is a teeth brushing maniac right now...
 anyone goes into the bathroom they need to be prepared  for him to try to climb the cabinets trying to get to his tooth brush as he says teeth  over and over again... so cute and a great habit..
( who doesn't like freshly brushed teeth!) =D
Anyway... I digress...
the Stamp name is Little Boy who loves to brush  his teeth which you can find  HERE .

LOL...

(Sorry not the best Photo..  my camera was about to die.)
I loved the little apples on his PJ's, so I used the apple punch to give the card a bit of quirky fun.
 of course that color green is my fave so anytime I can use it in a card I am happy ...
the sentiment came from TLC creations and I thought it fit.. =D 
Thanks for looking and I am  entering the card in the following challenges...


  • ( well tomorrow I am  adding them LOL just to tired  now! )

Hello my fellow Lovers of  Monsters Big and Small...

I teamed up with Daphadilly Art for this little cutie... ( I added the flowers but the rest is her design)
So you can make either a boy monster or a girl monster =D
She is a digital Scrapbook designer and sells her kits at a few stores one of which is Digi Scrap Drive In
 You can find the set I used to make these here for digital scrapbooking.. it's called ..  Tickle Monster .
 ... Of course this is an exclusive freebie from me ... I am  the only one allowed to make cut files from her sets due to the fact that she is my super talented Little sister! =D 
So If you want this and more I will be adding in the future make sure to follow me so you know when to  come and get them! 


I made these in an SVG and MTC format but if you need in  another just let me know and I will try to add for the rest of you!
Monster 1  MTC

Monster 1  SVG

Oh and on a side note... LOL I glued the mouth backwards so it's supposed to be the opposite way I inadvertently glued the black part to the pink on the wrong side ..Grrrrr  but at least you can see how it will look  like.

This goes perfectly with the Our Monster cutie title I made...and shared in a few post back I also have 3 more title versions to share already made up so make sure you  check back soon!

Make a Splash Digital Scrap Page

I made this Digital LO for a Digi Scrp Drive In Drag Race my Sister ran last Friday night
I was so happy with my creation I just had to share!
I am  by no means great at this yet but i like it and  have fun playing around with it.
I used Digital paper by Daphadilly Arts
& Elements from Studio Flergs

 the sentiment was by TLC_Creations.



I followed directions on how the LO should be like how we do in Paper
scrapbooking and card making for a sketch Challenge &  the recipe that was required...
and this is what I came up with.

Thanks for the fun night ! Had fun exploring the digital side of things
& Can't wait to learn how to do more...

Monster Cutie Cut File Freebie !

Hi Everyone ,
I have been making a few things for a gift for my Niece's birthday and wanted to share!
Today I am giving away a title that I have made into a MTC file & a SVG file.
I actually have made several variations on this file so
 I will be posting a new freebie  every few days  to share!
I just want to cut it out to make sure it comes out before I share it.
Here is what the file I am sharing today looks like.
I think it turned out super cute!
** This file has 3 separate layers in case you can't tell**
 at the size I cut it which is about 51/2 inches long..
there are a few spots that are really thin..
I would not cut smaller than that unless you beef up those lines..
 I fixed that on the other versions  but this was the first one I did.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can get this file in either
or

Make sure to come back tomorrow for a new cut file that will go perfectly with the title...


Awwwww  Super Cute.... Right?  =D

Frog Prince Card & a Freebie!

You have to kiss a lot of Frogs to find your Prince...



You got that right ! =D
Well you  might have to kiss one or 2 anyway.. =P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello again & Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

 I have a bunch of projects in the works but for today a super cute card
Featuring
Primsy Doodles


 I had a fun time making this Card,
First I love FROGs
Second ..It has my all time fav colors in it..
Well it is missing  the Turquoise Blue..
But the Green and pink are there! so we are good .
 =D


I just love this little frog...
I colored all the green with my Prisma markers and then used my copics for the rest.
I added a few bits of bling to the top and bottom corners to help add what I was perceiving as a bit boring card.. hahaha.. I just can't not add bling or stickles! it's a sickness I tell ya!



Popped this guy up  for a bit of dimension
I layered several different cardstock colors for the mats  
 then used a lovely Green Patterned Paper as my  background.


I whipped up the sentiment on my computer to fit the card &
used some "trash" from a corner punched from the 3 dot scallop Martha Stewart as my corner frame pieces.
I used a little bit of stickles on them to give them a bit more pizazz . and on some highlights on my frog.

Flower Fairy Card

Hiya Guys!
Thanks for stopping by.
Today I made a super cute card with the


I also used a Striped paper from the Soothing paper set



I just changed the color to Purple and printed ...=D
I love that about digital paper.

 For the rest of the paper I got it in a large stack when I first started scrapbooking
I am trying to use it because OMG there is so much of it!
 I normally use solid papers so I really need to mix it up more often.
I love how it turned out... 3 different papers & white as my base.

I used the Martha Stewart Scallop 3 dot punch set &
 then topped that with some pretty lace along the side.

I made this "flower" with some 1.5 inch ribbon doubled over and inked the edges
after sewing the center and gathering into what looks like a flower to me ...
Added a cute butterfly button to top it off.

This is a Inkadinkado clear stamp single I got from a stamp swap a while ago...
 Love it soooo cute!

I added some stickles ( of course) to make my little fairy shine,
 added a dot of white gel pen to her eyes &
 used copics for all the coloring except for the green
( I still have no green copics,  Ack!)



I just loved this stamp
 &
 You can find it at Mygrafico.com along with lots of other really cute stamps!
 Thanks for looking!
