Modern Sugar Blvd. - Challenge #5

Happy Saturday! I'm here to share with you Modern Sugar Blvd's challenge #4! This week we were challenged by Mary...she's one of the sugars on our design team.

She challenged us all to...
ding dong ding dong " Card Wedding". What it basically translates into is... Something old- so go through your paper scraps or ribbons Something new- this where the digi stamps come in Something borrowed- so this would be something that was given by a friend Something blue- pretty self explanatory.

There are going to be a couple of NEW wedding digital releases today so also go check out the store.

So join us design team members in this weeks challenge and post your work here in this comment on Modern Sugar Blvd. blog so we can pick in on what you did!

Close to my Heart class and projects!

On Sunday I had a class with Close to my Heart products. Me and the Ladies had a blast! We first made a little bird house. I got the idea and template from Capture the Moment blog. It's really simple and so adorable to make! The paper was from close to my heart and is called Unforgettable, the bird stamp set we used was from Stampin Up called cheep talk.


The next project we did was a shadow box. For this project we used the tutorial that was posted on Splitcoast Stampers website here it's an A2 card box and can be used to put cards into also. VERY easy instructions to follow! We used prima flowers, brown ribbon, the background paper is from Close to my Heart called Daydream, buttons also from Close to my Heart and the stamp of the month for may called be yourself.

These are the little goodies that the hostess got that I made...



Last but not least we are all making a little punch book so every time we get together we will add to it and have lots of cute little punch art! This time we made a mouse.

Here comes the Bride...

My Cousin Leona is getting married this Sat. and so I made her a card and a little paper wedding cake. I was inspired when I was seeing all the ADORABLE little pop up cake cards in blog land. Stampin Up is selling this die cut for the sizzix machines that makes the CUTEST pop up cake and you can decorate it anyway you want it..it's simple ADORABLE! I know I just gotta have it sometime soon...then I'll be going cake crazy haha! Anyways this one is a lot bigger than the pop up card cake. I was really happy the way my first home-made paper cake came out! I just hope she will love it!


On Sat. Modern Sugar Blvd. is having a SWEET new release coming to the store and TONS of even more sweetness coming the blog. So make sure you drop by Sat. to see what's NEW! Here is a little sneaky peek for you for now hehe!

My little Sketch Book!

I haven't had time to work on any cards today..been busy cleaning making lunch and spending time with my other half. I did alter this little sketch book the other day and hadn't posted it here to share with you all. I used one of the Digital images that Pink Papery Studios will be releasing along with a lot of other super cute images to purchase tomorrow! So don't forget to check out the store!

Challenges, Challenges & More Challenges

Yes, I'm alive haha! I haven't posted in a few days because after my little 3 day trip to Colorado I just couldn't get back in the swing of things. I think my brain might have been frozen from all the snow haha! My family & I did have lots of fun so it was all worth the freeze!

Since I was gone last week I missed posting my challenge for Pink Papery. Here is the journal I altered for last weeks challenge. We were to use pink bling, a stamp/digital image from Whimsy Studios and we get brownie points for altering a journal/notebook. I used a journal notebook that Amy sent me and the digital image from Whimsy-Studios called Angel food cake. I also used the chunky glitter on the wings that Amy sent me so, that counts as my bling. I LOVE cupcakes so thought this would be kind of cute to write all my cupcake recipes in.

The card that I made for today's challenge..was a CHALLENGE for sure! We were to use an image/stamp from between us girls or doodle girls and make the card masculine. I figured I'd make a spa card for my hubby as a little joke letting him know how I feel while getting a pedicure! haha! I used the digital image from Between us Girls called Simply Spa...this is another set that I love from this line.

I also used the sketch from Mojo Monday - week #74 on today's card. I just LOVED this sketch you can find it here on this link...http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2009/02/mojo-monday-week-74.html
