Jinger Adams Design Team Call Submission

Hi everyone!

The Scrapbooking Queen and Jinger Adams have joined together to create a Design Team for Jinger's new product line.  They put out a Design Team Call  and asked everyone to create a new project that shows off their style.  What an honor it would be to work with both of these ladies.  So much to learn from them.

Without further ado, here is my submission.  I consider my style eclectic so I went with a card since that's what I enjoy making.  But you all know me I dabble in everything and have so many styles I like to work with :) 


Recipe:
Papers are from my stash/scraps
Create A Critter Cricut cartridge
Stampin Up Classic Ink Pad in So Saffron
Martha Stewart Corner Punch
White gel pen
Sentiment is from Recollections
Star Dust Stickles
Spellbinders Nestabilities Small Scallop Circle
VersaFine in Onyx Black
Copic Sketch Marker R11
Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks in Shimmers



A view from the side.  It's a tent card.



The tent card tutorial can be found here.



Thank you so much for stopping by!  Good luck to all who have submitted to the DT Call.  A huge thank you to Jinger and The Queen for giving us this fabulous opportunity!


Have a fabulous crafty day!

Bunnies & Blossoms For Kids Blog Hop Day 2

Sketch Blog Hop Day 2 here






Welcome to the Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop for Special Needs Children Day 2.

Yesterday and today (March 24-25), 30+fantastic papercrafters have come together to create Spring-themed banners.They will then donate these banners to Ellen (CardMonkey), who works as Admissions Coordinator at Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC), www.pediatricspecialty.com.

PSC is a long-term care facility for special needs children who are medically-fragile and/or technologically-dependent. The babies, children and youths at PSC range in age from birth to 21, and are admitted from all over the country.
Some are infants, born prematurely and before their lungs have had a chance to mature. Others have serious birth defects,illnesses or injuries from accidents that cause them to need tender loving care in a home-like environment -- many for their lifetimes.

Our banners are meant to cheer the young patients, their families, and the staff at PSC. To see Day 1 banner, click here. Here is the other banner I made to decorate a child's room.
I have so much fun making banners for the kids :)




Recipe:
Papers are from my stash/scraps
Paper piecing pattern is Treasure Box Designs Funny Bunny
Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge
Diamond Stickles
White and Black gel pen
Copic Sketch Marker C10

We DO have a tasty bit of blog candy to thank you for visiting us today! What's the prize??!

How about a beautiful handmade (courtesy of our Blog Hop Hostess, CardMonkey!) Cricut Cozy Covers?! Each one is individually styled in your pick of colors and embroidered words! These are RARE because CardMonkey does not make them for sale and she usually sticks to paper, not sewing!!

To qualify, there are two steps: 1. Comment on as many Bunny & Blossoms Blog Hop blogs as you wish -- the more blogs on which you comment, the more chances you have to win. There will only be one winner, picked at random by Random.Org.

2. Follow and comment on the CardMonkey blog ... Leave a comment on our Hop Hostess's site (http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com) and let her know if your name is picked, what 2 accent colors you'd like on your Cricut Cozy Cover, and what text you'd like embroidered (up to 3 lines). You MUST be a follower of the CardMonkey blog to win and you MUST leave a way for her to contact you if your name is picked.
