Mickey-rific Birthday surprise

My co-worker/fellow crafting enabler has a birthday next week. Conveniently she is taking off next week for vacation. I couldn't let her day go by without making something I knew she would love.

I took to Pinterest and found THIS idea for the pouch and THIS idea for the card. She is a big Disney fan so I hoped they would be a hit.

She absolutely LOVED everything! I love seeing the awesome expressions on peoples faces when I make things.

I'm going to enjoy the nice soggy weather we are expecting this weekend by organizing and crafting. I've got a class planned tomorrow so gotta get cutting. Happy Saturday!

Monkey #98 Flower

Yay it's Thursday! Not as good as Friday but I'll take it =)

For this card I played along at A La Card Monkey for the 98th challenge! I kept it very simple on this one, well simpler than normal. I was in a daisy making mood so I pulled out the Daisy #2 die and two of my favorite In Colors and cut away! I embossed the strip of Calypso Coral so it wasn't so blah and added some random flower eyelets.

Ingredients: All items SU!
{Paper} Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Pool Party {Ink} Calypso Coral {Stamp} Small Script (retired) {Extras} Daisy #2 die, random flower eyelets, Pattern #1 texture plate

Heart of Many Ribbons

Another day, another Pinterest CASE. This time from Karen Werner. I used up some pieces of scrap ribbon in this one. Very simple and easy. I used foam tape to pop up the layer on the card and also inked the edges to give it some depth.

It didn't dawn on me until today that I hadn't mentioned anything about SALE-A-BRATION yet!

From now until March 31st for every $50 you spend on Stampin' UP! products you get a free item out of the Sale-a-bration catalog. It's a very good time to stock up on goodies and get free stuff at the same time!

Using the Stash

Fact: I have a lot of scrapbook paper stacks. Reason: I got them really cheap.

So today I actually completed one of my pins on Pinterest! Yes, it can be done. It's difficult to walk away from all the pins, but it can be done!

You can see in the before picture, you can see everything....yes everything. Very messy! In the after shot, it's all hidden! In my world I may not be completely organized but I know where everything is. If I can hide it, it makes it even better =)

Ok, I'm gonna make some stuff today. I've already made a cell phone charging holder, who knows whats next?! Have a great Saturday!

Ninja Status

What a difference a few weeks make. I was sick a couple weeks and still haven't really gotten over it, then when I did feel ok I couldn't get any crafty mojo to save my life. This past weekend was spent making cards and CASEing Pinterest project. Pinterest saves me so much time, just pin an idea and when I get crafty I just head to my boards for ideas.

I actually have a really cool card to show you. It's my Ninja Baby card! A friend of mine needed a card for a friend who is having a baby girl. Apparently they call each other "ninja" hence she needed a very unique card. After searching online I ended up buying the Ninja Kicks file from Lettering Delights. It saved me time and I think it turned out really cute. I can at least say it is a very unique card =)

CP #150

A quick post today, I'm actually awake here at 3 something in the morning. The lovely children have shared their wonderful cold with me and I can't sleep =(

I used the Card Pattens #150 sketch for this sweet spring card...
