Happy Saturday!

Appreciation
 
 
I created a card with my daughter's dance coaches in mind.
 
 
I used a Mojo Monday sketch.  The sentiment is from the Peachy Keens September 2012 SOTM set.  To glam up this card, I used Orange Peel, Eucalyptus, and Silver Stickles on the buttons and to frame the sentiment.

Movie Night Blog Hop

Welcome to Red Carpet Studio's One Year Anniversary Celebration!! We're starting the party off right with a blog hop, but don't forget we also have games and prizes going on in our Facebook event group


This weekend our design team is sharing with you inspiring projects for movie nights! Invitations, decorations, and more, you'll leave the hop wanting to have a movie night of your very own.

If you've come from Ashley's blog, you're in the right place! If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, please visit Red Carpet Studio.

 

I made...
 

My layout was inspired by the movie "Rise of the Guardians" and the Walt Disney Company. 
My kids LOVE the yetis in the "Rise of the Guardians."  And we are planning a trip to Walt Disney World and one of our favorite parks is Animal Kingdom..which is inhabited by the Yeti of the Himalayas.   
 
I used the Bigfoot Cutting files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  I did mold him into more a Yeti, than a bigfoot for my project. 
 




To make the mountains more frosty, I applied Rock Candy Distress Stickles. 
 



And I added Pine and Eucalyptus Stickles to the trees for a bit of dimension.

Red Carpet Studio Card Challenge

It's time for a card challenge over at Red Carpet Studios......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here's my creation...................................
 
This week's theme was to use an animal.   And Peachy Keen Stamps just release the most adorable pet set.   Perfect, huh?
 
The tabby, fish, mouse, and sentiments are all from the stamp set
 
The tabby was colored with Copics and highlighted with Stickles (of course). 
The brown mice were colored with one of the new distress markers, Gathered Twigs, and highlighted with Tea Dye distress stickles.   The white mouse was 'colored' with Star Dust Stickles. 
 
 Here's a close up of my tabby........

Hope you have been inspired to crafty your bottom off..........

This year we are beginning to homeschool our three young children.   So to help keep them (and me) organized, I am making these cute supply boxes for each of them. 

 
 
The file is from the Silhouette store and be found here
I cut the file out using a baby girl paper pad from the Paper Studio.  I embellished the front with the Whimsical Moon & Stars stamp set.   The "You're a Super Star" is from Whimsical Designs.  I colored the stars with a distress marker and the star with yellow Stickles.
