BITTEN BY THE BUG 2 BLOG HOP

WELCOME

to my little scraphut and welcome to our monthly

Bitten by the Bug Blog Hop.

our challenge this week is the wheelbarrow from the Walk in my Garden cartridge.

You will find this image on page #107 and it is image #26 on the overlay.

Hello

5"x5"
square card

here is my cute wheelbarrow. i never used this cut and/or feature before. the feature is the "card" one but all you get is the front of the card. at least, that is what i got. i made a base for it.

i hid the flowers centers with the gypsy hide contour because being so small i was just going to rip the thin paper i used. i added the tiny rhinestones instead. i can still tell they are flowers, :).

i messed up at the end while stamping hello. i decided to use embossing powder to hide it but, i couldn't set the powder right. you see? i already had the transparency attached on the window. it was warping on me...:(

as you can see i was not having a good day, lol
btw, the hello stamp is from my pink stamper and you can purchase the whole set HERE.
it is called spectacular sayings.

i got myself a pair of martha stewart fringe scissors ;Dand i used them today for first time. i made the grass where the little punched birdie stands still. loved using this scissors.

this tree is from hoot n' holler, image #11 on the overlay. i cut this tree at three inches but it comes out a bit taller because of the branches. the pretty butterflies are from another paper punch. i like to have paper punches with small images because they are easier than trying to cut them w/the cricut sometimes and, i can use tiny scraps of paper too. :D
if you take a closer look to the tree trunk you will see i stamped for a more realistic look.

and you can see i curled the leaves too.

this is my base for the front card. it is another 5"x5"piece of white cardstock which i scored at 1/2 inch and glued it to the front.

this is how it looks when opened. the back is the one that bends, not the front.

here is the completed card.
i want to mention that the transparency used on the window is actually a clear plastic from the dollar stamps package ;p.

hope you like my card...this one is a first for me as i mentioned before.

i have a small giveaway and i will use random.org to choose for me.
you will have three days to claim your prize.

MY PINK STAMPER PINK-A-LICIOUS BLOG HOP

hello my friends and a big welcome to the new visitors.

WELCOME to my scraphut!!!

at home they call me Agnes but i am flowerdisco in real life, lol

i am a new empty nested mom. my son is a freshman at Boston University and i am figuring out yet this bittersweet freedom that comes with it. it is too early yet to tell. i will let you know.

i am one of My Pink Stamper designers and this is my third term with Robyn. Yay!

and this hop is for entertainment purposes only as we always try to use My Pink Stamper new releases for you to get to know her products. JUST HAVE FUN! then, at the end of this hop, i invite you to stop back at My Pink Stamper's site and join us in the challenge and see what else she has planned to surprise us all. :)

i enjoyed making this project so very-very much. this time i was inspired by this crafter lovely card: http://corgi-creations.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-cant-stop-cutting-things.html.-----AND i graciously give credit due where credit is due--as you can see/read :)

this is my version of it and i hope i have made your stop here worthwhile.

our theme for this hop is back to school and 3D but since i am a bit of a troubled woman...hee-hee

i will present you now...

School days-School Days

11" x 7.75"
(click on pictures to zoom in)

it a school of witchcraft, lol

think Hogwarts and think Halloween and think troubled woman

(wink-wink)

it is for young witches and no wizards are allowed.

the base is just a rectangle where i welded a triangle for the top. i scored at 3.25" and 7.5".

i am not giving you all details because you are hopping, so do not dismay my friends, lol
if you want to know more, just shoot me an email.

the school days- school days is the awesome set-newer release-- from My Pink stamper called "school days"...hehe, hence the name of my project. :p

do you love my door as much as i do? so much fun!. it is actually an armoire...hehe and the sunflowers are just fabulous, just perfect for this time of the year.
