It's All About the Green Blog Hop, March 5th and 6th

Welcome!!!!

Starting point is : Kathryn



If you followed the order you should have come to me from the talented Laura



This hop is all about being green and it can be anything Green. Anything from keeping our country green, to St. Patty's day. I have a couple other St. Patty's day projects to post later so I figured I would use recycled stuff for this one. I used my new Spring time cartridge and Storybook cartridge along with some recycled papers and the flower that I used to mat my son's photo on is actually the backing of a package by Jillibean SOUP that was holding some coorigated flowers that I used for the bike tires.

I used my Sakura Jelly pen to highlight different areas

I used fibers that I have been having since 2008 and I figured this would be fun

I am not happy with the upper left corner and will probably change it but I was running out of time and the baby has been all over me the past few days.

Blog candy will be awarded at the end of the month when I combine the comments from all March hops

Next the talented

Jenn's Birthday Hop!!!

Happy Birthday Jennifer!!!!

This hop starts with Jennifer here so stop by her blog and wish her a happy birthday!

If you have not come here from the Shannon over at Purple Lion Paper then head on over to Jennifer to start from the top.
For this hop Jenn asked that we use a turtle somewhere I normally do not lean towards turtle images but this was super fun and I found so many pretty images on my cartridges and online. I got a couple from Jenn and decided I wanted to use my Best of Pixar cartridge too.

 and I made these..

I hope you like what I have made.

Next is Faith and you can find her wonderful blog here

Finding Nemo Card

I used this same style card for my PKS challenge a few posts ago and I was asked for a tutorial...

I used the Best of Pixar cartridge and white cardstock from Walmart

I don't have a camera or a video program yet so I tried to take plenty of pictures.

I started with a 12 x 12 white cardstock

I cut it down to 6 x 12 and folded 3 inches in on both sides

I took the left over and cut in in half so I had a 6x6 piece of white cardstock

I used chalks to color the white cardstock

This is not the best photo but I used blues, black, red, and orange

I then sliced it in half and glued each half on the outer part of the card

I added some embellishments also from the Best of Pixar cartridge

Here is Nemo and the starfish too. I added the bubbles just cause I liked them.

The card opens in the middle

Hope you like it!!

Invites

A friend of mine is having a Snow White party for her daughter and these are the invites that I made...

I used my Preserves cartridge and my Gypsy with some stickles for the bite and the leaf (the bite was made with my EK scallop punch.


LOL, I took the picture before I fixed the ribbon but you will be happy to know its not upside down anymore ( I was watching Megamind with the kids).

Just ordered...

Just ordered some new ribbon that I keep seeing everywhere...

Cards for Aiden!!

I wanted to make a card for little Aidan and these are what my kids and I made ( Buzz is from me)

___________________________________________
Here is the story:

All for Aidan


Aidan is a sweet lil 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....



I need your help. Let's get our crafting supplies out and send this lil guy some LOVE!!! Pass this on to all your crafty friends. I think we can all take a couple minutes and make something special for him that will bring LOTS of smiles and he can look at over and over.



Please mail your cards to: AIDAN
