{Action Wobble Blog Hop: Day #1}

Good morning!!!
Happy Saturday!!!

Welcome to the
{Action Wobble Blog Hop}
hosted by the FABULOUS Haidee from Created2BUnique

If you were sent here by Patti from Patti-Lynn Creations, then you are on the right track. If you just so happened to stumble across this post, then you NEED to start with Haidee from Created2BUnique...you DO NOT want to miss a single thing! :)

The only requirements we had were to use pink, black, & white...and {obviously} use an Action Wobble--if you've never heard of, seen, or used an Action Wobble...get on it!! You will NOT be disappointed!! :)

Ok, so for my first project...I had to stay with the Halloween Spirit
{yes, even with pink, black, & white}

    I used "slime" {AKA Crystal Effects} on the bottom of the slimey monster :)
    The sentiment was from a pack of stickers in my stash...so I can't tell you where it came from
    Now, what good is an Action Wobble Blog Hop if you can't see the wobbles in Action...
    Now, I know you've been wondering..."How do I get my hands on some of these pieces of AWESOMENESS??"  Well, let me tell you. You can
a.) Go to the Action Wobble site & order them through Amazon, OR
b.) You can leave a comment on THIS post for a chance to win 50 Action Wobbles, OR
{Just IMAGINE the wobbling turkeys, santas, elves, etc., in your future!!}
c.) Come back TOMORROW & comment on THAT post to DOUBLE your chances
{NOTE: the hop ends @ 12pm EST TOMORROW--Sunday--so you don't have much time}

Are you excited yet?? I AM!! :)

Ok, now...go check out what Martha has created over at Patti's Scrapping Time. You won't be disappointed!! :)  Now, if you happen to get lost anywhere along the way, here's the line-up...
Don't forget to come back EARLY tomorrow morning to see the second project...& to DOUBLE your chances of winning 50 Action Wobbles!! :)

{The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop}

Good Morning!!
Chances are that I'm either at a soccer game or school carnival while you read this!!

Welcome to
{The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop}
brought to you today by

If you just came from California Scrappin' with Gina then you are in the right place.  If you just happened to come across my blog and you want to hop along, please start at the beginning at JME Creations.  

The theme for the hop today is, well...PUMPKINS!!!
I am from SoCal & the weather here has been ridiculous!!! It's so hard to get into the Autumn spirit when it's 100 degrees outside...LITERALLY!!  But, I can't wait to make pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin..pumpkin..PUMPKIN!!! :D  But, for now...I will settle for pumpkin cards!

I tried to "make" my own pumpkins using punches...did I fool you?? LOL
I realized that the punches are too...symmetrical!! Pumpkins are NOT symmetrical!!

I embossed the pumpkins with the Cuttlebug Forest Branches folder..didn't turn out like I had envisioned! :)

Recipe:
  • Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Natural Ivory, Glorious Green
  • Patterned Paper: DCWV Autumn Stack
  • Stamps: Peachy Keen Stamps Everyday Character Assortment
  • Ink: Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip
  • Cuttlebug: Forest Branches
  • Extras: Martha Stewart border punch; Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen

Probably NOT my BEST project...but it made me laugh, so I shared it anyway! :)
 I hope it made you laugh like it did me.  Now, it's time for you to head over to A Little Bit of Everything... with Alannah--I bet you her project is FABULOUS!! And remember, if you didn't start from the beginning with JME Creations, you WILL want to!!  If you get lost anywhere along the way, here is the list:

So, for my kitty-cat project {with Halloween still looming in the horizons} I couldn't resist making a "black" cat {yes, I know it's really brown!}


This CUTE kitty came from the Cricut Mini Monsters cart--I haven't used my Cricut in so long..I missed it!! ;)

As some of you know, I'm OBSESSED with the stamps from Michaels Dollar Bin
{you know, those bins that they put at the end of the checkout line for impulse buyers...LIKE ME!!}

I'm still wondering why this cat's mouth is SOOOO BIG!!!

[JME Creations: Brown & Blue]

Happy Friday!!!
 
Welcome to another
Design Team Day!! :D
 
Our challenge for today was to make a project using brown & blue--I have to be honest...a pretty awesome combination!!  Makes for some pretty awesome male cards!
 
So, that's exactly what I did--I made an anniversary card for my hubby!! :)  We will be married for 6 years tomorrow!!  Pretty surreal that in the 6 years, we have bought a home {which we no longer have ;) }, had 2 BEAUTIFUL little girls, and basically, NOT in the same place in our lives that we were in then. It has been AMAZING!! <3




Recipe:
  • Cardstock: Recollections {Kraft}; Papertrey Ink {Spring Rain}
  • Stamp: Michaels $1 bin {I have an OBSESSION with this bin!!}
  • Ink: Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip
  • Extras: White grosgrain ribbon; iRock

This card was SOOO easy & quick to make..so what did I do??
I made a whole set to add to my Etsy shop!! :)





Now, head on over to JME Creations to check out the rest of the AMAZING Design Team!! :)

Thank you for stopping by!!
Have a wonderful day!! :D
