"Don't even Ask"

 Hello everyone !! I hope you are having a fantastic day in whatever part of the country you live in:)

I am so glad you stopped by today, I have something to share with you. Since, I have gotten my Silhouette I have been getting more into putting vinyl on things, and today is no exception LOL.

  A friend of mine at work is moving back up north, and she loves wine. So, when I saw this I knew I had to make her one of these wine glasses. Especially since she is going to stay through inventory before she leaves...heck I might just need to make one for myself  just to keep my sanity LOL..

 
I thought this was soo cute and just loved the saying. I saw it on the Happy Sil site on Facebook ( a great and helpful group )!  I downloaded the file for it , but changed the font on it since I wanted to make it a little fancier. Then I  added the bows, the tag that I made on my Silhouette  and the gorgeous button that Jessica made for me at Pinque Peacock.
 
There are so many beautiful things that Pinque Peacock has to offer, if you haven't been there already you really should visit. They have Awesome stuff!!!!   To browse around or purchase some of  the beauties you can find there just click HERE:)
 
Have a great day!

"Brad Pitt"

 Haha... I figured the title might lure you in :D  I have to admit, I don't have anything in my post about Brad Pitt, but our challenge is inspired by him or should I say his name hehe.

 Our challenge over at Red Carpet Studio is ispired by his name and something alot of us like to use on our layouts......brads!!

My layout for you this week is a Disney layout, and yes I am STILL trying to scrap my Disneyworld layouts from 2004-2008. My oh my I don't think I will ever get them done :(  I am trying though and you may see quite a bit from me in the future LOL.

Okay on to my layout...
My picture isn't the best, but I used some disney paper on this along with a couple images that I found and cut out as an accent. The picture is of my 2 girls, my 2 nieces and my sister-in-law. I was the one taking the photo..good way to stay out of them LOL. ( I hate to have my picture taken).

I added 3 brads that I found in pink to match my layout, some distress ink for the edges and a little  bling to go with Tinkerbell's wand ;)


Our sponser for this week is...none other than my wonderful DT sister
A-Muse Studio Consultant Candice Fields -
She is giving away to one lucky winner a
 $20 gift certificate
 
 
You have until April 27th to enter your layout .  Plenty of time :)
I hope to see your wonderful creations over at the blog
Have a great day!!

Old, new, borrowed and Blue Blog Hoop


Welcome to Day 2 of the Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue Blog Hop!


Wedding bells will soon be ringing as the wedding season is almost here, and the design teams of Red Carpet Studio and The Paper Nest Dolls have teamed up to provide you with some beautiful wedding inspiration by creating projects using Paper Nest Dolls digital stamps! If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit Red Carpet Studio.

Red Carpet Studio is a movie-themed challenge blog that runs weekly challenges, alternating between layout and card challenges each week. All of their challenges are inspired by either a movie or aspect of Hollywood!
The Paper Nest Dolls is a brand new digital/rubber stamp shop that sells adorable stamps inspired by the designer's children. Their stamps are sold here and they just started a challenge blog as well!










For my project today, I made...a 3D  tiered wedding cake.
I added strings of pearls  around the bottom of the top and middle layers of the cake, then the awesome digi  from the paper nest dolls. The cut file is from the Silhouette store and the paper is from the elegance stack from DCWV. This blue sheet of paper is one that I  have been hoarding lol. I loved the look of the paper and didn't want to use it up, but I thought it would look perfect for my "wedding cake"

I also added a few flowers here and there just to add a little more interest :)


The Paper Nest Dolls owner and artist, Christine, is very generously providing us with some blog candy from her online stamp shop and her brick and mortar scrapbooking store! To be eligible to win you must comment on every stop of both days of the hop. 

Two $20 Gift Certificates

hosted by the sweet and talented  Tara of Craftin Desert Divas!

This linky party theme is a fun Peacock Hues Color Challenge
 
I loved the colors in this challenge and they were perfect for the new release that we are sharing with you this month :)    I have never made anything that I actually tore the paper on , but I saw a sketch over at Scrapbook.com and thought I would give it a try!
This is what I came up with
 
Since I have the imagine it was pretty easy to print the papers to match the colors and the circle is my new MS circle punch. I cut the flowers, leaves and the borders on my cameo and embossed them. Then I added the gorgeous stick pin and fabric covered button along with some crinkle ribbon that I made to match. the butterfly is from a CTMH stamp set and I printed the words out on my computer :)
