Emily’s Back to the 80′s Birthday Blog Hop

Posted by on December 17, 2011 39 Comments
Hello Everyone! Welcome to my stop on Emily’s “Back to the 80′s” Birthday Blog Hop!! What a fun theme! You should have just arrived from Elizabeth’s Blog – if not, please be sure to hop over to Emily’s (Birthday Girl!) blog where you can get the scoop on all the prizes up for grabs for this hop!

 

Happy Birthday, Emily! When I think of the 80′s a few things come to mind (and not from memory, because I was just a wee one when they occurred!) – fashion, hair, bling, and music. Of course all those amazing Saturday morning cartoons like Rainbow Brite don’t stray too far from my mind, either. ;) So, for my project today, I wanted to portray the 80′s in a much more updated way. Instead of literally creating a blast-from-the-past, I took all the fun elements I love about the 80′s and put a Clean and Simple twist on them to create an updated design.I hope you like it!

 

I took seven 1/4″ lines of Scor-Tape and adhered them to my card, being careful to only peel back one side of the tape at a time. I wanted my lines to resemble an equalizer, and of course, some bling and sparkle was lent by chunky glitter in all colors of the rainbow! The sentiment is a sneak peek of a Market Street Stamps set that will be released soon! I used  Memento ink  in “Lulu Lavender” to ink up the flag my sentiment was on.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to jump over to the next stop, the sweet and very talented Michelle!! Happy Sunday everyone, and Happy Birthday again, Emily!

PSA Essentials and Cottage Cutz Holiday Card Blog Hop

Posted by on December 1, 2011 28 Comments

Hello and Happy FRIDAY! Today The Scrapping Cottage is hoppin’ with PSA Essentials to bring you holiday card and project ideas using products from both companies! Have you just come from the super talented Meylssa’s blog? If not, be sure to head to the beginning of the hop with Kay so you don’t miss a stop or a chance to win!

PRIZE PACKAGE DETAILS:   Readers who hop to each of the blogs, comment at each, and are a follower of PSA Stamp Camp will be entered to win the “Holiday Card” prize.  This prize contains 3 Peel & Stick stamp sets, 1 stamper, 1 black ink & 1-2 color ink from PSA Essentials.   The winner will also receive a $50 gift certificate to The Scrapping Cottge for the grand prize.   There are also 9 opportunities to win a 3 x 3 die from The Scrapping Cottage! Just leave comments along the way and each Cottage Cutz designer will choose one lucky winner to win a 3×3 in stock die of their choice! Suh-weeet!
I knew I really wanted to create with the Peachy Keen line of dies from the Scrapping Cottage. They are pretty simple to put together, and don’t require you to use all the pieces. I used the Gingerbread Dolls and Doll Accessories. I used a different face stamp set (Happy Lashes by PKS) than what comes in the package but the faces that it comes with are also SUPER cute.

I was lucky enough to be in a blog hop with PSA earlier this year and had this sweet set of “Whimsy Cakes” that worked perfectly with my “Baker’s Man” gingerbread. To me, it almost looks like they’re bringing a holiday treat to a friend! :)

I used patterned paper from Crate Paper’s “Peppermint” collection, and Echo Park’s “Holly Jolly Christmas” line.
Hope you enjoyed my little stop on the hop, next, head on over to Cheryl’s blog where I’m sure you’ll find something amazing!

Lost? No problem! Here’s the full link list to help you find your way! Have a super weekend!
