For my card today I am using MME Lost & Found "Rosy" for the Black and white dotted paper,  the top right and the lower left  rounded corner pieces. The wood panel is from EP "This and That" all on top of an A2 Kraft card stock base. I used versamark onyx black ink to ink the edges of all the papers.

MEOW MEOW MEOW

Hi Everyone,

Happy middle of the week.

I sure hope I inspire you to want to make a card today or something crafty or artsy
I just loved making this card.  Today is my design day for PUMPKIN SPICE. This is one of the most fun papers ever, it is called Frisky by three bugs in a rug, there are 36 single sided sheets 3 each of the 12 designs.  The prints are awesome and colors are beautiful.
I used American Kraft's card stock to cut the cat and kittens. I used stickles for the eyes of the  kittens and googlie eyes for the mommy cat.

The images are from the Cricut Cartridge Meow the cat is cut at 2.5 inches and the fish is cut at 1.5.
 Cat -1st image 2nd row  Fish tag: ninth image 5th row
The tag with the Meow sentiment on it is from My Pink Stamper " More punny-licious."

Please go over to the PUMPKIN SPICE blog check it out and then if you like what you see check out SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE.

Aren't those kittens adorable?

MAY 5, 2012 ***SATURDAY*** NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY-LAYOUT

REMINDER: DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY challenge ends tonight


Good Morning again,




Welcome to my second post today celebrating National Scrap-booking Day and Showcasing the products from Shop Pumpkin Spice.

SURF'S UP

This is one of my favorite places to go on vacation Hawaii -- any island any time of year and Luau's I even like the poi.

This project was a lot of fun, as I said earlier, my S-I-L switches out her B-day from one year celebrating Cinco de Mayo the next year Hawaiian.  One year we happen to be over there at the same time, so we stopped at their island before heading to ours and had great time.

We were all asked to give a tutorial on one of our projects, so I chose the layout.
Here is  a video on how I made the layout: feel free to fast forward when you want.

Here is a link to the video:

MARCH 14, 2012***WEDNESDAY*** SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE** JUST A NOTE

Good Morning Everyone,

 It is Design Day for me at  SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE.

I just love designing for Shop Pumpkin Spice.  I can not say enough good things about this company. Great quality and great value.  They carry the products I like most,   Echo Park paper is one of my favorites, but I have a lot of other favorites that in stock now and very popular.   Right now, I am on the "All about boys" kick. This paper is so cute, I like almost every piece in the pack. For my project today, I am using 6 different patterns from the pack and the blue solid. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the solid paper to give it some dimension.
My card base is a basic cream color and so is the little boy. I used the Paper doll dress up Cricut cartridge to cut out all the elements to make the image of the boy

My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Boy Crazy" stamp set. I'm using lemon drop twine from the Twinery

I punched three holes in the orange binder strip to give it the look of a notebook.

All the products I used can be purchased at Shop Pumpkin Spice.

Thanks for stopping by

Remember,  Boy Crazy is the kit of the month for March.  It is a remarkable price at $15.95
Also remember, you have until the end of the month to enter our Blog Hop challenge. There are some rules, so be sure to read them, so you do not miss out on any opportunities you might have to get extra entries.

Have a great Day!! DIANA L.

SATURDAY-FEBRAUARY 4, 2012 **** SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE **** BLOG HOP

Happy Saturday Friends,

 Welcome to the Shop Pumpkin Spice  February Blog Hop.......our theme this month is very fitting: VALENTINES /LOVE /ROMANCE

 If you noticed I've mixed up the patterns a bit. I think it adds interest.
I need to have 90 of these little treat bags for a meeting on February 14th. The packaging the m&m's are in measures 1"x8" and these poly bags can be purchased at SPS  (100 for $3.50).

I also need to make 12 of the mail boxes. This image is from  Cricut Cartridge "love struck 2010"  I cut the image  from a textured metallic card stock @ 10.5 to get this size mail box.

I used my heart, circle, and scallop punches to make the topper for the treat bag. The sentiment was printed 100 times on my computer. Also if you notice there is another strip of paper that has a verse on it it is folded over and attached to the topper.

 I hope you liked this fun project.

 On to the hop .............

If you arrived here from Lenaes, you are on the right track

FEBRUARY 1, 2012***WEDNESDAY***SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE

Good Morning Everyone,

It is design day for me over at Shop Pumpkin Spice. You must know by now that I am in love with Echo Park and especially "Yours Truly collection".  With Valentines day coming up this would be a perfect selection. The best thing is SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE carries it, with very reasonable prices. Usually 30% off and sometimes more.  This Saturday we will be having our monthly blog hop and the presentation of our the new February kit.  If you like it, don't hesitate to buy it,  the January kit sold out really quickly?



This is a close up of the middle of the card. This is a pretty substantial card because of all the layering 

For this A2 sized card, I used 5 different patterned papers and the solid red from the yours truly collection.
In the middle is a journaling card, which is placed on two different pattern pieces. The "February 14" and the "I LOVE US" are from the matching sticker sheet.  I hope you will visit Shop pumpkin Spice  the store and the blog.
