Play date goodies

My daughter had a play date a few weeks ago and I had made these goodie bags and I forgot to post them.  Very ease, very simple and very quick to make.

Breakdown and supplies:
I got these boxes from MFT stamps. It was a whole kit that included a stamp set, ribbon, brads and these favor boxes. They are no longer for sale.  It was called: I want candy! mini stamp set kit. I used 3 of the boxes and ribbon that came with the kit. For the girls I used Hooga Booga stamp set. It's in the Bubble bin so I'm pretty sure that means that when they sell out they won't be carrying it. I'm not sure but if you want it go get it now. For the boy one I used Love Machine stamp set. I could not find it on the website so I believe is no longer available. All colored with copics and atyou spica pens.  To die cut them I used Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Classic Ovals Large, Classic Scalloped Ovals Large and Labels Four Nestabilities, distressed with Pumice Stone and Spun Sugar distress inks with Ki Memories Classic Prints Paper Pad.

Copic colors:
E0000, E000, EOO

RV00, RV02, RV04, RV06, RV21, RV23

C.C.Designs card

I love C.C. Designs images. They're super CUTE!  Just received this image the other day and I just had to ink it up and color it in.  LOVE her!

Breakdown and supplies:

The card is cut to a standard size card (4 1/2 x 5 3/4) using Recollections gray cardstock, distressed with Pumice Stone distress ink.  I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four with Cosmo Cricket's Girl Friday and Everafter stack. Distressed the patterned paper with Pumice Stone and Wild Honey distress ink. Stamped C.C.Designs Sweet November Lillian Rubber stamp with Memento Dew Drop in Tuxedo Black on some  Cryogen White cardstock.  Colored her in with Copics (will list the colors at the end) and added some sparkle to her atyou Spica pens. Distressed the die cut with Pumice stone distress ink, on the corner I made my own flourish using a Silhouette America cut file (accent_flourish_C20091125023039_20509 11/10/2009), Tulip heat setting tool and Tulip Glam-It-Up Iron on Crystals.  The clay flowers I purchased at Michaels wedding section colored with Copics to match the colors used through the card. Used my Mini Bow Easy to create the bow using random ribbon from my stash. Random Crystals though the  die cut and on her crown finishes up the card.

6th Birthday party!

We celebrated my Daughter's 6th birthday party this past Saturday and fun was had by all!! I was exhausted when I got home. I fell asleep on the couch for about an hour. She was hopped up on sugar. LOL! She just wanted to head to her room and start tearing open all the gifts she received.

This is the table setting. They provided all the plates, napkins, cups, place mats and utensils and I made the goodie bags. Very simple. There were about 20 children and their parents there so I had to make quick and simple treats. A lunch bag filled with party favors from Walmart. I printed the journaling on the computer. It reads: Thank you for celebrating my 6th Birthday with me. Skatetown USA February 2011. Isabella Eby.

I cut the rectangles with Nestabilities Long Classic Rectangles Large and Nestablities Long Classic Scalloped Rectangles Large. On the corner I added a Littlest Pet shop sticker.  It was her theme added to the theme that the skating rink provided.  Folded the top over and added some curling ribbon to complete the bag.

The beautiful Birthday girl with her cake.

The birthday cake.  I baked three 8 inch square cakes. Cut two about an each shorter than each other and layered them.  The paw at the top was cut with my Martha Stewart Cricut cake using the Mickey and Friends cartridge.  The "grass" was made with a pipping bag and a pipping tip.  The fence is Wilton Fondant cut into rectangles and long strips to make it look like a fence. The flowers were also pipped. Added one of her Littlest pet shop dogs on the top.  There were 24 cupcakes. The grass  and flowers were pipped on. The bone was cut using a cookie cutter with fondant.

Fast Internet...

..finally!

We got this local Internet service when we first moved into the house that was cheap since we're doing some work to the house and we were looking to save money, well it was slow as heck. It took for ever to upload videos and if my husband started playing ps3 forget it. Everything would stall out. There is a website that measures your wifi speed or whatever, 0-10, 0 is the slowest and 10 the fastest. We came in at .05. No lie. Tonight after the upgrade with a bigger company we're at 8.05. Yeeeessssss!! It's like heaven. My husband is plaing as we speak and I just finished watching a YouTube vid. No stalling, no buffing just playing. I'm so happy!

Two sugar gliders hurt

So I've been gone a while. Another one of my gliders got attacked and I found the attacker in action.  Thankfully I caught it as it was happening so my second glider's bite mark is only the size of a pea.  Took my three males in to the Vet today and got them checked out. Everybody looked good, no infections and the glider that was causing all the commotion got a shot that helps calm down his testosterone so hopefully he'll stop attacking and we can eventually work on acclimating all the gliders together again. If not I'm going to have to split them up into pairs in different cages.  What a mess.  I have them all separated right now so I have 4 cages out.  That's a lot of cleaning for me.  But it's worth it as long as they are safe.  My crafting mojo has left temporarily but hopefully this weekend I'll be able to sit down and create something. I got a few new goodies I would like to play with.  Well that's all for today.

MIA with a hurt glider

I have not really been in the mood to sit and create. My bigger male sugar glider attacked one of my other males and left about a nikel size wound on his back. I've been watching him making sure he's eating and well. Poor little guy. I feel so bad for him. I have to keep him away fom everybody until he's healed and his fur grows back. I had to take out my travel cage to put him in our bedroom so that I can better look out for him. He's hanging from my neck on a pouch. They're such colony based animals that I'm afraid he's going to get lonely and hurt himself if he's kept alone too long so I'm providing him company as much as possible. I would post a pic but it's very groosome. Kinda gross looking really. I freaked out when I first saw it. I've never seen anything like it and they've been living together for 5 years without incidents.

I'll have a card to share tomorrow that I finished a few days ago.

Well that's all for tonight. Thanks for stopping by:

My first Papertrey Ink card

I've had about 5 of their sets that I've been afraid to ink up. I think they're just so beautiful. Well I finally got the guts to ink one of the sets and make a card. For this card I used Everyday Button Bits. This set was specifically designed for you to use buttons. Love it!! On the website you'll see that there is some gray shading well that part does not stamp. That's where the buttons go. Fantastic HUH?
Here is my card:

Breakdown and supplies:

First I made a standard size card with Papertrey ink's Stamper's select white cardstock. Stamped Hero Art's Cloud Background stamp with Hero Art's Shadow ink in Soft Pool. Took my Papertrey ink set and cut the hot air balloons apart.  All three came together but I wanted them spread out through the card.  Stamped them with Memento Dew Drop in Tuxedo Black. I tied black embroidery floss to random buttons from my collection to fit the size of the hot air balloon.  I attached them either using Zots or Glossy Accents. For the banner die cut I used Papertrey ink's Double-Ended Banners die set and then stamped one of the banners from Papertrey ink's Banner Builder Set, inside I used the sentiment "Soaring by to say hi" from the Everyday button bits set all on Papertrey ink's Stamper's select white cardstock. Inked the edges of the banner with Hero Arts Shadow ink in Soft Pool and to finish the card I rounded the bottom two edges with We R Memory Keepers' round Corner Chomper.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by:
