Post it Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to the Post-it Blog Hop!! If you just happened to stop by my blog and would like to start from the beggining click here.

We would love to share a few projects and ideas highlighting Post-It Craft paper, our newest sponsor for Thankful Thursdays with you!  Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas!

Ok so for my Project today I made a cute little treat box I am working on two more to give to the kids teachers for Easter :).

I used an empty box I had and cut it down to the size I wanted (here is the box before I put the paper on it)

 it then modge podged the paper onto it for the background. I cut the girl eggs and wagon and grass out of post it  paper! I punched holes on the sides and attached the ribbon for a handle and there you go a little treat box!

I gotta tell you I LOVE this paper it cuts beautifully on the cricut! It is so easy to layer and I love that I dont have to pull out my glue for those little pieces!

Materials used:

• Playtime Cartridge (for girl)
• Sugar and Spice Cartridge (for Wagon)
• Smiley Cards (for eggs)
• Peachy Keen Wide eyed kids face assortment
• Sakura white gelly roll pen for all the stitching

Inking it up DT day!

Good morning all my Bloggy friends! I am sad because today is the end of the February/March Design Team term.For our last DT day we are showing off our favorite cartridges:)

I had a tough time with this one cause I love all my cartridges I could not choose one so I picked the one I used the most. Which is the George Cart, I make all my card bases with it at well as any basic shapes that appear on my card.

So here is my project

An Easter card (this is the second card I made using my prismacolor pencils, I am really enjoying using them)

I made this card base and 4.5 x 5.5

For the cute little bunny girl I used the new easter digi stamp from the Octopode Factory. If you haven't seen them yet you should go take a look they are adorable. You can visit the ETSY shop here!

Make sure you visit the rest of the DT and take a look at what their Favorite cartridges are! As always thanks for visiting!

First stamp with Prismacolor pencils

Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a great weekend so far! I am sorry for being away but things have been super busy and hopefully everything will go back to normal soon!!

Well the other day I decided to buy some prismacolor pencils and some cute stamps and well let me just day it is definatley harder than i thought lol I have never wasted so much paper lol!! Oh well practice makes perfect! I just threw this card together quickly with a digi stamp i colored from the Octopode Factory, I have bought a few of them and I think they are adorable!

Here is my super quick card ( i didn't want to get to fancy, I wanted the focus to be on the cute little stamp).



Ok well this is really the first one I have completed and I kinda sorta like the way it looks but like I said I am just starting to get the hang of it :) What do you think?? I am having some trouble with the skin shading and hair do you have any tips for me?? I would love to hear some of your opinions and any advice on using the pencils!

Ok well I better go back and practice some more!
