Craft Room Yumminess and 2 Challenges!!!

OK, so setting up my new craft room is taking WAY longer than I would like it to - HOWEVER look at this yummy wall of inspiration!!!   My dad made me these ribbon holders with 2 wires hanging underneath for me to clip things on to!  LOVE IT!!!!

I have a card that I made with two challenges in mind. 

The first is the Papertrey Ink Anniversary Challenge (Day 2).  We had to use one of several digital tags they have available for download in our project.  I used the one designed by Lisa Johnson.

The second is Momo's Tuesday Challenge, which is to use white, black and hot pink as our project colours, along with incorporating at least one heart!  The Lisa Johnson tag tied both challenges together!!!

Here is my card.

Cardstock: True Black, Stampers Select White, Raspberry Fizz (Papertrey Ink)

Patterned Paper: 2008 Bitty Box Basics (Papertrey Ink)

Ribbon: True Black Swiss Dot Satin (Papertrey Ink)

Punches: 1 3/4" circle, 2" scalloped circle

Inks: Raspberry Fizz, True Black (Papertrey Ink), Vanilla Smooch Spritz, Silver Smooch Spritz (Stampin' Up!), Glitter Pen

Tag (Papertrey Ink)

Sentiment: Paper Tray (Papertrey Ink)

Brads

Hope you enjoy!  Please leave a comment.  I love to hear from you!

Paper Playtime - Love

Hello!

It has been way too long since my last post, but the transition into our new house has NOT been smooth.  We still have things in boxes alllllll over the place b/c we haven't had a spare moment to go shopping for bathroom cupboards and other storage goodies.  I JUST got my scrap room unpacked this weekend, and I am STILL not finished organizing it (gasp).  I am going through crafting withdrawals I tell ya!

ANYWHOO...here is my layout for this weeks challenge.  The challenge was to use the word love on the craft, and I incorporated it into an adorable baby layout for an album I am working on for a friend.  By 'working on' I mean that this is the first page in the album.  hehe.

Cardstock: Simply Chartreuse, Rasberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst (Papertrey Ink), white
DieCuts: Create-a-Critter (Cricut)
Stamp: Everyday Faces (Peachy Keen Stamps)
Ribbon: Hibiscus Burst Saddle Stitch Grosgrain (Papertrey Ink)
Glitter: Michaels

Hope you have a great Monday!

Stocking Stuffer Ideas Blog Hop

Hello!

Welcome to the Stocking Stuffers Blog Hop hosted by the Janis of Pause, Dream, Enjoy! and Paper Playtime!!! If you have stumbled across this post, start at the beginning by CLICKING HERE! 

If you have been hopping along you should have arrived here from the talented Corri! I decided to make a super fun (AND SIMPLE....AND INEXPENSIVE) weekly menu planner.  My hubby and I love to plan our meals at the beginning of the week so that grocery shopping is simple, and thinking is minimal after a long day of work.  I was at a crop and one of the other croppers made something similar to this, and I LOVED the idea!  By using an old picture frame, you can make a super fun (and perhaps even decor matching) design for your weekly menu.  Using a dry erase marker you can then write in your menu plans for each day of the week and the glass protects your original design!  This is such a quick and simple gift idea that you can whip together with a simple photo frame, and any scraps you have at home.  Be sure to scroll down for blog candy!  I used my From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge for the die cuts.

Supplies
Silver Picture Frame: 8 1/2 x 11 (Walmart)
Patterned Paper: Basics (Basic Grey)
Cardstock: Silver (Dollarama), True Black (Papertrey Ink)
Alpha Stickers: 'menu', 'days of the week' (Basic Grey), Tiny Type (Cosmo Cricut)
Die Cuts: From My Kitchen (Cricut)

Blog Candy

Leave a comment below and I will use random.org to draw a name on Monday.  Please note that I can only deliver to Canada or the USA.  Thanks so much and enjoy the hop!  Don't forget to leave a way to contact you!!

Your next stop on the hop is the lovely Kathi!  I hope you are having a great Saturday hopping away!  If you give this gift idea a try, link me up so I can come and check it out!!  Happy Hopping!!
