Monster Mash Blog Hop

Welcome to the Monster Mash blog hop! If you came from Kate's blog then you are in the right place. If not and you would like to start at the beginning please go HERE.
3 Girl Jam
3 Girl Jam and Jaded Blossom have teamed up for this Monster Mash blog hop! We are using
and
3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon

For my first project I used the cute little Monster from the Monster Mash set and colored him in with my Spectrum Noir markers. I added glossy accents to his eyes and boils. I added some X-press it tape to the back of my circles and ruffled the Goblin Green crinkle ribbon.
For my second project I cut this sweet monster couple from Scrappy Dew's Franky Halloween cut file. When I saw the "Love Monster" sentiment, in the Monster Mash set, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I masked the stamp so each word stamped seperately. The couple is pop dotted on top of the Celebrations crinkle ribbon.
Your next stop on the hop is Abby.

Before you go we have some blog candy up for grabs.

Shrinky Dink Fun

Had to share a quick project.
 I used a couple digis from Simply Betty Stamps and printed them out on Shrinky Dinks. Used distress markers to color them in, shrunk them down with a heat gun and put them on a split ring so the grands can attach them to their book bags.
They started out at 3.5 inches and shrunk down to about 1.5 inches.

Winter Wishes in August

Today we are featuring the
stamp set at Getting Cricky.

This set is most certainly NOT just for the cold weather season and I am going to prove it. lol

I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and they had stamps on sale. I saw these little cuties and just had to get them. I made this card thinking that I would give it to my friend for Halloween but when the grandson saw it he took off with it. I am so glad I got a picture before he saw it.
I added some glossy accents and have to say they turned out way to cute to be spooky.
This is a lunchbox note I made for my granddaughter in May. If you would like to read more about it you will find the post HERE.

See, neither one of my projects were made any where near the cold weather months . lol
--------------------------------------------------
Sadly this is my very last post for the K Andrew Designs DT.
It has been a wonderful 5 months.
I want to thank Kristal for allowing me to be a part of her design team. Also a huge Thank You to all of the other team members for being such an awesome inspiration!

I Scream - U Scream

I Scream - U Scream - We all Scream for Ice Cream.
Today is my 3 Girl JAM design team post.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are refreshed for the week ahead.
My project for today is a trading card for my granddaughter's first day of school. I really love how it turned out. It is so bright and sunny and cheery. The Harvest Orange and Sunflower crinkle ribbon are such happy colors. Don't you just get a smile on your face when you see these colors. Yea I know you do.

Scripture Sayings Flashback

Today we are showcasing the "Scripture Sayings" stamp set at Getting Cricky.
My first project was made almost a year ago. It was a birthday gift for the grandkids principal last year.
My second project is a twisted easel card.
This is such a fun and easy card style.
I found a tutorial by doing a search on YouTube.
This sweet girl is "Lunch Time Brittany" from Simply Betty Stamps.
I also used some 3 Girl JAM "Daffodil" crinkle ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by and have a very Blessed Sunday.

Getting Cricky's "Back to School" Blog Hop

Happy Friday everyone and Welcome to Getting Cricky's "Back to School" blog hop.
Getting Cricky Blog Hop
I am sad to say that this will be my last blog hop as a design team member. It has been fun but life has become so very hectic and I just had to scale back on some things. If you would like to join the awesome Getting Cricky team you can apply HERE.

For today's project I made a trading card for my grandson. These are the perfect size to slip into his backpack.
All of the digis are from My Grafico.
The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Positive Thoughts" stamp set.
