My Three Bears

Hello and Happy Monday!
I wanted to share my three bears with you...

Yep, you guessed it, Create a critter (sorry, I'm addicted). SU card stock and designer papers. I layered another My Pink Stamper sentiment onto a scallop punch and I used the paper piercer this time instead of a gel pen. I will have some more Holiday projects for you. I am getting ready for a craft fair the first weekend of October (I cannot believe how fast the year is going by)

Thanks for stopping by, I'll see you soon!

The card says it all

Hello,
This is another quick card brought to you by Create a Critter. It's "Stinkin' cute"

Card stock and pattern paper from Stampin' up!, Create a Critter cricut cartridge. Sentiment from My Pink Stamper Punny-licious set (link on my side bar). She has so many awesome sentiment stamps check it out! I layered the sentiment (1 1/4 circle punch) onto pink 1 3/8 punch, and a scallop punch. Inked the edges and added accents with a white gel pen. I also used the gel pen and black marker to highlight the skunk. I love this card, and I hope you do too.

Thanks for stopping by. I'll see you soon!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Hey Y'all! Thanks for stopping by. I just had to share my latest project with you.

A little background to the story... I teach kids church every few weeks (4 year old to 4th grade...huge range) I always try to play games that help incorporate the message we are teaching. This week we are discussing Moses and the burning bush, the focus is on listening and obeying. The games in the teacher guide, I felt, were lacking a little. So I search the plethora of useless information I have stored in my brain over the years and decided to reinvent a game that I used when I was a candle demonstrator.

Basically, a leader reads a story and every time a certain word is said, a favor (or several depending on the size of the group) gets passed. Usually, the one left holding the favor when the story is over gets to keep it. I have enough candy so that all of the kids will get a piece and the ones holding the favor get to open and share.

I decided to make little fire favors (burning bush theme and all...lol) They are 3 pieces of chocolate wrapped in tissue paper and tied with red and gold curling ribbon. The little flame is from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge and I layered it on a SU scallop circle punch of black card stock. I threw them together quickly, but I think they turned out great. I can't wait to have fun with the kids in the morning.

Thanks for stopping by. I have several posts scheduled for this week, so I'll see you soon!

Hello!

Hello Everyone,
Whew! This past week has flown by! I have been working on so many holiday projects and have been in the "Zone"...lol I will share them with you soon, I promise. This is a simple and sweet Hello card that I made. I hope you enjoy it.

As usual, the card stock for this project is from Stampin' Up!. The cat is from the create a critter cartridge (too cute!) The pattern paper is from a "Best Occasions" paper pack (bought at Tuesday Morning). The ribbon is pink satin from Stampin' Up! I inked the edges of the cat and highlighted with a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon,
Barbi P

Happy Birthday!

Ok, so it may not be your birthday...but I know you have one :0) I was running low on birthday cards and decided to make a few. I tend to have more "girlie" events since my daughter is older and has a more active social circle than my son. So this is a cute card that I put together for my daughter's friends and my nieces.

I made up several of these using different color schemes for the cupcake -aren't they just too cute?

I also had a nephew that had a birthday this week. So I got my kids involved and this is the card that we created for him. The kids just LOVE the cricut!

Well, I have been busy lately restocking my cards and getting some ready for the Fall craft fairs. It is still too HOT for me to think about making too many fall/winter items, but I know that I need to get on the ball with that. I did get some great winter holiday pattern paper that I can't wait to use. Stay tuned... there is a lot more to come :0)

See you soon!

Back to school

I can't believe the Summer is almost gone. The kids here go back to school next week. I am trying to get things ready for school and decided to make some cute little post it notes holders. My daughter (now a 4th grader) thinks these are the "coolest!" I made some for her to give her friends too. Just something quick and easy. The images are from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge and the backgrounds are stamped with Stampin' Up! Stamps, or embossed using my bigshot. There are tutorials all over youtube on how to make them.
I hope you like them :)
