Inkerbelle's Get Together

Yesterday we had a "Inkerbelles" get together. Tami Wadell (who is my up-up-upline) hosted it at her house and had 10 projects for us to do. It was a ton of fun so I wanted to share with you all the projects we did. All the projects were made from products from the new Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration catalog.

Full of Sweetness and Wonder

Today I wanted to share with you my first Decor Element I used on a wall (I have done them on a door and paper before, but not on the wall). For this project I got the Sweetness Decor Element in Chocolate Chip and applied it over her crib. I think that this saying defines her to a T. :) Here is a close up shot of the wall.

Here is a shot of the room.

And here is Allison helping to model the shot. :)

Birthday Card

My brother's birthday is tomorrow, so today I wanted to share the card I made for him. Since he told me that he received it in the mail yesterday I know that it is safe to post it now! Ha ha. He is turning the big 2-5 this year and is in the process of buying his first house. So, for his gift I got him a Home Depot gift card, which I know that he will be able to use! And the cool thing was that the Home Depot orange coordinated perfectly with my Pumpkin Pie paper used in the card! :) Since masculine cards are so hard to come up with sometimes, I am always looking for ideas for these. For this card I ended up CASEing this. I think it turned out nicely! :)


Ingredients:

• Everything Nice stamp set
• Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper
• Bermuda Bay Designer Series Paper
• Soft Suede Textured, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White Card Stock
• Pumpkin Pie, Bermuda Bay, and Soft Suede Markers
• Circle Scissor Plus and Glass Mat
• Large Star and Star Punch
• Silver Brads
• Stampin' Dimensionals

The is next card uses the Kissing technique. We used the new Butterfly Accent and Dot, Dot, Dot stamps for this. These new stamps are perfect for this technique!
