 using an action wobble

Off the Record

11.30" by 9.5"

file folder

the hand image you will find it on page 65 of the handbook; image #38 using the icon feature of the overlay or when using the gypsy. we are talking about graphically speaking- a cricut cartridge.

the "off the record" you will find on page 59 of the handbook; image #32 on the overlay using the phrase feature.

the file folder is also from page 59, and image #32 using the icon feature this time.

---i used american crafts as the base for my folder. k&co and me and my big ideas for the patterned papers.---

the tickets are from my mind's eyes "savy never enough" collection.

the ephemera embellishments are also from k&co

and the mini paper clips, from tim holtz.

if you can see the border made of stamps and envelopes: also from k&co.

the stamped phrase "dreamer" below the  "the" is from a g-studio clear stamp.

below you will see the action wobble that was required for this challenge

 i distressed everything with a one blade razor, pretty cool tip from me...hehe....i could not find my timmy's distresser, lol. so i improvised. loved how it worked too. wink!!!

and again, this is my finished project: front and back and,

 a few more embellishments are explained as well.

 the twine was distressed with inks, the tab is from graceful sisters, and i believe is from mme too. it was stamped with some 7 gypsies stamps and that epoxy stop sign is as old as i can remember: maybe from a dollar/clearance spot at a craft store....see why you should never get rid of you toys, lol.

i hid the twine on the back for now, but i might show it after all.

 i haven't decided yet.

thanks for stopping by 

and remember,

 this project is for a challenge at

The Scrapbooking Queen--- "Wobble Wednesday's".

you can join in too.

CELEBRATE

11/24/2010 

AN 8x8 LAYOUT

 

Isn't beautiful? 

You know I do not make too many layouts ;)

 On another note I have to say this: It is always hard for me to stick to a sketch. I know I did not have too but I wanted to follow the sketch as much as I could. This part is always a challenge for me. I tend to change things around, :) BUT, you can see I really tried and pretty much followed the sketch, yay!

Three buttons above

 New butterfly location from sketch

 Added a little cupcake for the Celebration attached with an
Action Wobble.
(click on the link to learn more about them)

Aren't they fun! I am in love with them.
They will be a MUST HAVE in my stash of have to have supplies. That is for sure :)

 The Lace.

 The embossing and the inking. 

(I painted the centers of the lace flowers and I used ink to doodle the faux stitches: 

double duty here, lol)

Here you can see the whole completed project again with everything I needed to pick-up/add from the blog hop to make the recipe challenge a success.

 Nilda at http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ 
will be randomly selecting a winner for some giveaway, YAY!!!
  AND...please,...have fun hopping and getting some new ideas from these blogs above and don't forget to let me know what you think of my layout........

This was a very nice project to work with.

Thanks to Nilda for giving me the opportunity to participate in this blog hop.

and Thanks to you for stopping by, for your support and for your love.

Hugs!

THANKSGIVING INVITES CUTTLEBUG DESIGN TEAM NOVEMBER PROJECT/CHALLENGE

Looking for the Blog Hop, lol.

You have to click HERE to go to our 

Dia de los Muertos 

Blog Hop. Don't you love it so far? I know I do. So many bright colors and sugar skulls and learning traditions and family stories.......awww!

I also wanted to let you know I will randomly be picking a winner before the week ends. You will have three days to claim your prize and I will delete any double entries :(

Now onto my post for today.

Hello my dear friends and WELCOME to the new followers. Feel at home and be a friend. Any questions about my work, please shoot an email or ask me in the comments. I read them all and I will answer asap
.

I also have to announce that The Cuttlebug Spot has changed its schedule and now we will be posting our projects on Tuesdays. This also means that you can start entering your project for the challenge on Tuesdays too.

This month is all about Thanksgiving and a BLOG HOP, yeah! another HOP. We were invited to participate so the whole cuttlebug DT gang will, lol.

The Blog Hop we will be participating will be on November 12, 13 and 14... I will have more details later.

Nilda asked us to make invites for our Thanksgiving celebration and since this my favorite cut for invitations and announcements I used it again.

ETA: I added a big rhinestone to the invite. I kept thinking it needed something and this was IT, lol
I think it looks much better, :)

Thanksgiving Invites

6 inches high

The card base is from the Just Because Cards cartridge. They are so easy to make you really don't need the cart. I  like this cut very much and I have used more than twice already, lol.

This pumpkin you see here is a die cut from last year: Recollection or K&Co..can't remember and did not write it down :(
Anyhow..the pumpkin looks like is popped dot but is not, hehe
It  is a new product called
Wobbles
(a few of us got some samples to test and give feedback.  Emma's giveaway for the Dia de los Muertos hop is a package of them.) They are plastic coiled springs like and make your die cuts wobble. You applied them like stickers and make notice one side is for the base and one for the top. I am so in love with them already.

This is how the Wobbles look like inside, they are super COOL.
When they are out in the market, you must get some. In the meantime, I will try to see if I can get a few more to  giveaway.

The scarecrow is also from last year same pack of die cuts.

My embossing was done with the cuttlebug folder called Diamonds in the Rough.

Do Not Forget to play along with us and link your project at The Cuttlebug Spot Challenge this week for another awesome chance to win candy.

Thanks again for stopping by and please leave a comment whenever you can.
Don't be shy...I won't bite you.

My word.
