MAG Challenge & DESIGN TEAM CALL!!!

Hi There Friends,
Thanks for stopping by today. If you are new here WELCOME if you're a long time follower...Welcome Back. It's MAG Time again. This week we were asked to use the "Doodlecharms" pg. 105.

Please remember for MAG Challenge you cannot use any other Cricut cartridge, page or cut from another cartridge (even if it is in your stash), only cuts from the specified page. However, you are free to use all the embellishments and treasures from your stash!!!

I decided to use the "charm" feature of the page and make a Gift Tag. My god-daughter's baby shower will be coming up soon and the more baby crafts I get done now the better. Of course you couldn't have a cute teddy bear without using those Awesome PKS Everyday Character faces. Head on over to MAG to see what the rest of the DT has created for you. After you've been inspired join in on the fun with us. Can't wait to see what you create.

Wow, 3 months has gone so fast! We are having a Design Team Call!!  So, if you are interested in being part of this Fabulous Design Team and love making cards, scrapbook layouts or craft projects, we'd love to hear from you! (Click Here) and Please read all requirements carefully!!

p.s. Don't forget about my Mega Birthday Giveaway (click here). You still have time to enter.

Design Team Call at My Pink Stamper

Hi Friends...
It's me, braving the hot box again. It's actually a lot cooler at night when the house is still and quiet. I know I'm going to regret being up this late when my two year old gets up. Aieh-Vey! Anyhew... Have you Heard the News! It's now a new term for My Pink Stamper's Design Team. This was one of the reasons I started my blog in the first place back in January. I didn't make that call, but I will surely be trying again and again if need be. Robyn is one of the many sweetest persons out there. You can really feel her genuine love for her family, followers and friends. I can't believe that she's ever met a stranger that didn't feel touched by her warm spirit. I know I have and I haven't even met her in person. Well it's time for me to bring some Serious "A" Game this time around. I've learned a lot along the way since I started blogging and I'm ready to share some of my growth that continues and is un-ending. We still have no AC, and this card has been 4-days in the making since I first learned of her new Design Team Call. There are a lot of stamp makers out there and I know we'd all love to design for all of them if we could. Robyn, I will say is one of those top stamp makers (in my book) I would love, love, love to design for. Hop on over to the My Pink Stamper Design Team Call to learn more about the specifics of the DT Call. Feel free to join in. I know she'd love to have an entry from you too.
As the Challenge, we were asked to:
Make a card, scrapbook page, or other Cricut project with your favorite Cricut cartridge using the following colors......
OrangeTurquoise GreenBrown(other optional color of your choice) For some reason my mind went immediately to a Summer Design card. I don't know why, but I guess it could have been steered from the all HEAT I'm still experiencing with no AC. I wanted something tropical looking or beachy so that's where my mind went and I just went with it. **sn: (my mind tends to go off on a lot of places and sometimes gets lost trying to find its way back...lol; Yeah I hope you're laughing With ME and not At ME, because I know you're all guilty too... It's called Day Dreaming...LOL)**. Anyhew... without further a due, here is my card for the DT Call.

A7 Recipe:
Carts: Life's a Beach, Doodlecharms
Papers: Bazzil Bling Basics, Recollection
Tools: My Pink Stamper (Punny-licious), Peachy Keen (Wide Eyed Kids), Cuttlebug (D'vine Swirl), Tim Holz Broken China (Distressor for Sky Background), White Gel Pen
Embellies: Googly Eyes (Crab), Tim Holz Orange Peel Stickles (Skirt Trim, Nails-Hand & Toes), Stickles (flower centers), Studio-G Flocking Powder (Sand)
Personal Touch: I drew in the face on the Hula Girl as I didn't have a small enough stamp to use.
 I think I got all of the elements required in there. Wish me luck. Robyn will be announcing her new Design Team on a Live Broadcast, Saturday - July 23rd. I'll be practicing my Sun Drop dance...LOL! Smooches...

Throwback Thursday Challenge w/Emma at My Creative Time

Hey Yall,
It's A Wonderful, Throwback Thursday Challenge over at Emma's on My Creative Time. The challenges calls for the following: Use the "DOODLECHARMS" cartridge OR if you don't own this cart, feel free to use any other Older cartridge & PLEASE incorporate the color BLUE somewhere on any project of your choice! This is my take on the challenge. When ever there is a take on a cartridge challenge, I try to use only cuts from that cartridge and not mix them with others. I was soooo inspired and excited about doing this one. Hope you like it to. Let me know what you think. Smooches...

Recipe:

Cart = Doodlecharms (Palm Tree, Sun)

Cuttlebug = Divine Swirls, Polka Dot

Tools = Martha Stewart Punch (Fun in the Sun), Flocking Powder (Studio G), White Gel Pen, Sharpie Markers

Stamps = PKS Wide Eyed Kids, Bikini (fms - from my stash)
