I Love Lucy Blog Hop

Good Morning my Friends!
So excited you have joined us for this fun blog hop!! You should have arrived from the super talented Kich.  If you just happened to arrive here and would like to start from the beginning, then click Here to start at the beginning with Abby.
Thank you Abby for putting together this hop honoring the super amazing "Lucy."  She is hosting this hop because she is a crazy fanatic of "I Love Lucy." I don't blame her. This wonderful red-haired lady was so funny and wild.  You can't help but laugh out loud when you watch her show.  Here is a little clip of the episode that I was assigned...

So this clip was my inspiration for my project:

I tried to incorporate some of the Hollywood glitz and glamour.

I made this digital layout using Photoshop Elements.  As most of you know, I love digital layouts. 

Truly my first love!! So whenever I get a chance to make one, I jump at it!!

My younger sister is also a huge Lucy fan.  I always tell her she was born in the wrong era. lol 

I am going to frame the l.o. and give to her as

a gift.  She can add it to all of her memorabilia. 

This digital page kit is from Scrap Matters-Unforgettable.  

I just love the beautiful papers and the gorgeous elements!!

The headline was made with Everyday Metal Alphabet and Chimney Sweep Alphabet,

both from Scrap Matters. 

I hope you have enjoyed my project.  Maybe some of you have been inspired to try a digital layout if you haven't yet!!  

Here is a list of the goodies Abby is giving away on her blog, Scrapbookaholic by Abby.

Good morning my bloggy friends.

Thank you for joining us for another fun challenge at Flaunt It Fridays.  For this challenge we will be using the Twinkle Toes cartridge, but it can be any cut.

This is my project....

I used a clear acrylic tag to make this cute little tag.  My little niece just turned 3 and will be starting her very first dance class and I just couldn't resist using this little ballerina.  I added some glitter around the edges for a little sparkle and of course the cute little Prima flowers.  The swirls were stamped with Inkadinkado-Dot Flourishes.  Her little face is Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces. 

I'm excited to see all of your projects for this challenge.  Please go over to Flaunt It Fridays for more inspiration and ideas.  Don't forget to leave our amazing DT some love while you are there!!

Fantabulous Cricut #48-Emboss It!

Good Morning Friends.  I hope you all had a great weekend!!

Thank you for joining us this week for another fun challenge at Fantabulous Cricut.  This week the challenge is to use any kind of embossing.  Yay, I love embossing!!!

My lit' monster and "Monster" were cut with Mini Monsters Cart.
The patterned paper is from ProvoCraft Celebrations Stack.
The background embossing is from Sizzix, Baby Geo Textured Plate.

The embossing on him was done with Sizzix, Dots embossing folder.

The "Hugs" was cut with Smiley Cards Cart.
I used Acrylic Paint for the lit' dots for more dimension and pop.

Now this cute little card is a spinner card.  The little monster spins as he goes from one end of the card to the other.  I was really excited about it because it was the very first one I had ever tried to make.  If you want to see a tutorial on this, Techniques by Trish has a great one.  Just click HERE.

The other reason why I decided to make this fun monster spinner card is because I'm sending it to a sick little boy named Aidan.  8(

Aidan is a sweet lit' 2 year old who was recently diagnosed with T Cell Leukemia. On Wednesday, he had a port installed in his chest, spinal tap, bone marrow, and chemo in his spine. He did GREAT! This lil guy is such a trooper. His parents have accepted that their BABY has Leukemia.. NOT the easiest thing to accept, but their faith in God and their support system have kept them going. T-Cell Leukemia has a high cure rate although chemo will be continued for quite a while. Lil Aidan LOVES mail, like any 2 year old does. So.... if anyone else is interested in sending him a card and bringing some love and smiles to this lit' guy you can send them to:

AIDAN

c/o Tanya Stilwell

P.O. Box 143

Cecilia, KY 42724

I hope you all join us for this fun challenge and hop over to check out the amazing projects by our wonderful Design Team!!

Thank you everyone for coming by and lets keep lit Aidan in our prayers for a full recovery!!
