Mix It Up

If you hopped with me on Saturday then you saw my "Spring Fever" layout. If not, then you can go HERE to see it. Well, with all the bright pinky colors I thought that it would go perfectly in my daughter's scrapbook. However, I wanted to make sure that I had a similar one for my son's scrapbook also. So, I made the same layout, just switched it up a little bit. Hope you enjoy it!

Playtime for the Little Boy and Jar with Grasshopper
Birthday Bash for the Title
Plantin Schoolbook for the frames 

Think Spring Blog Hop

Welcome to Croppin Momma Designs and the Think Spring Blog Hop! If you’ve never enjoyed a blog hop before, it’s where you ‘hop’ between blogs following a chain of links, with each blog in the chain posting something exciting for the event!

If you've come from visiting Toni at Happy Scrapper, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to Kathryn at Creations with Kathryn and start at the beginning.

With so many of us getting bad weather and a ton of snow it is hard to imagine that Winter will ever be over. But, with Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow there is a sliver of hope that Spring will eventually come, and may even be earlier than we thought. However, if you just can’t wait another 6 weeks then I hope that I can bring a little of that Spring feeling to you now.

Recipe:

Playtime for Little Girl (4")

Doodlecharms for Flower (3.5")

Birthday Bash Font for Title and Shadow (1.5")

Plantin Schoolbook for Frames (6.25"x4.25", 6.5"x4.5")

New Martha Stewart Scallop Heart Border Punch

Martha Stewart Glitter Glue

Patterned Paper is DCWV Ultimate Stack (Spring)

Cardstock is Bazzill Basics

Hope that you liked my little piece of Spring. And if you did, leave a comment and follow me and I will pick one of those lovely comments Wednesday the 9th and that person will receive a $15 gift certificate to their favorite little spot (store) on the web.

Thanks!

These are a really simple Thank You card that I made for everyone that attended my 30th surprise birthday party that my hubby and parents threw for me. So simple, just welded everything in my Gypsy and cut it out. Lovely!

When I Count My Blessings

My wonderful hubby recently gave me a suprise birthday party for my 30th and although it was his idea, because he works...and lives with me, it was my mom that did a lot of the work. It was at my parents house, she decorated the basement, entertained people while they waited, made dinner, and ultimately cleaned up too. So, I wanted to make her a special card to say thank you. Here is it...

So, on Saturday my son had his first big birthday party for his best friend at school. It was at a Bounce House place here in Michigan, so much fun!! A lot of his little buddies from school were going to be there and he was super excited!

When I asked his best friend what he wanted for his birthday he said that he wanted a Star Wars Lego set. So, since that is exactly what we got him I decided that I just had to make him a Star Wars card. Well, of course we all know that there is no Star Wars cartridge out....yet!?! So, I went to work and put together shapes and details from a couple of different cartridges. Here is how it turned out...

What do you think? Do you like it?

Well, if you said yes, than you're in luck, because I have the Gypsy cut file for you right...HERE. You need the Plantin Schoolbook and the Cricut Classic Font cartridges...if you don't have them then you can substitute for another cartridge with basic shapes, like George or Accent Essentials. Go on ahead and download it and see how you like it. Also, if there is anything else that you might want to see then please leave a comment or if you think that there is something that could have been done better or differently please let me know. I hope that you enjoy and if you create it I would love to see your version!

Carrie please contact me at croppinmommadesigns at wowway dot com to claim your prize by Monday, January 31st at 12:00 pm EST, so that I can get your prize out ASAP. Thanks!


With that out of the way I am so sorry that I haven't had any new projects this week. I have had two sick kiddos and with the weather her being so cold and yucky it is really hard to make myself get up and do anything. So, anything that has gotten done is the bare minimum for the house. So, please be patient and I promise that I will have new stuff posted soon!
