Steampunked

Ever since Graphic 45 came out with their Steampunk Debutante Line last year, I've been CRAZY for the whole Steampunk theme, and STOCKED up on everything steampunk I could get my hands on.... that includes the AWESOME Victorian Steampunk Lilith from Tickled Pink Stamps you see here! AND NOW I see that there is a DT Call over at Tickled Pink Stamps, so isn't this just the perfect time to pull out all my new favies (and old favies) and give it a go!!!

Seen here are a couple of merged stamps and some word art.  The scroll is one of my favorite stamps from Make It Crafty.  I actually used this scroll for a candle that I personalized with my sister and her husband's wedding date.  To see that project, click HERE.  I popped Lilith on top and added some word art.  I thought about just making it say "REWARD", but adding the "Wanted Dead or Alive" kind of gave me a chuckle so I went with that.... especially since I added the "Missing You" sentiment.  You all know my wicked sick sense of humor!  LOL!  So, OF COURSE, I used my beloved Copic markers to color this:  BG10, BG78, C0, C4, E00, E21, E23, E25, E31, E37, E39, E49, R20, R59, Y000, Y18 and YR14.  I also used the Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante Dies and the Chatterbox Easy Brad Maker set to create the metal embellishments at the top (the Epoxy stickers that are included in the set really make these hand made embellishments ROCK!).  I also cut out a butterfly from the Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante Time Flies paper and folded up the wings to make it look fluttery.  I used one of the gear dies from Graphic 45's Steampunk Debutante line and added a Tim Holtz Idea-ology gear to make it pop.  I used a punch from EK Success and Bo Bunny's Gabrielle Flight paper for the backing.... this paper is also VERY PRETTY, much like the Graphic 45 paper!!!!  My sentiment is from a generic "dial-a-sentiment" stamp that I got at a garage sale.  That thing has come in so handy and I'm told that 7 Gypsies also has a line of "dial-a-sentiment" stamps if you wanna check it out.  It's nice to carry 12 sentiments with you anywhere in a single stamp... very Feng Shui for an avid paper crafter!!! :)
Here's the final shot... check out how dimensional this one is.... SOOOO FUN!!!



Ok folks!  That's it!  Swing by Tickled Pink's blog and check out all the deets for this DT Call!!!

My Seriously Yummy Concoction!!

The Magic Bullet has yet to fail me!!! I LOVE it! I whipped up this ultra healthy mousse in seconds, and the mint came straight from the garden. Yay! Here's how I made it. Danielle's Heavenly Mousse 1 small container of low fat vanilla yogurt (I prefer Yoplait Light) 2 heaping tablespoons of Knudson Free cottage cheese 1 tablespoon of Amaretto flavored Agave Nectar 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 2-3 peeled and pitted organic figs (optional) In Magic Bullet container combine above ingredients. Attach flat whipping blade and mix until mousse has formed (about 45 seconds). That's it. If you are using figs (which will create a thicker mouse after it sets in the fridge and will require longer blending time), be sure that they are room temperature before blending. Blend with chopping blade, remove and attach flat whipping blade until smooth. Allow to set in fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. This thing is quick and incredibly yummy! Here is the pic of the ingredients I used. Cl...

So Lame

So over at Paper Vineyard, the challenge was to create a birthday project and it COULDN'T be a card.  I've personally been creating WAY too many cards lately so I was happy to try my hand at something new..... only I didn't. :(  Instead, I was busy preparing for last week's Cricut Swarm.  Now, while I missed creating a project specifically for our Birthday Non-Card challenge, I figured the cupcake box that I made would fit the bill PERFECTLY for a birthday-themed project.  The box also has an insert for a cupcake to fit inside.  I made it with my Cricut (cuz of the whole Cricut Swarm bit) and while I ADORE this box, I sort of had a little melt down making it and I decided that this is the last Provo Craft product I will ever buy.... let me share why (read through to find out the cartridge I used for this project)! Most of you know that I DESPISE Provo Craft.  I hate that the Cricut is a one-of-kind product that I loved....

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
