Owl Punch Extravaganza XII....Blinkin, Thinkin and Inkin Revisit


That's a spicy meatball....er, cupcake!  Ellen over at Blinkin, Thinkin & Inkin is SOOOOO freakin talented!!!!  I am IN LOVE with the chef she created using the owl punch and had NO PROBLEM steeling scrapjacking casing this cutiepie to create this AWESOME birthday card.  Again, I created the sentiment on my computer and printed it out because I just didn't have a large enough "Happy Birthday" sentiment.  The cupcake was done with Stampin Up's retired Little Layers Plus along with the strawberry from Stampin Up's Happy Hour.  The flourish was stamped using another one of Stampin Up's retired sets, Vintage Vogue and the paper was ALL from my scrap paper bin. Yet ANOTHER card I wanna keep for myself!

But speaking of the scrap bin, I've yet to mention that for those who own the owl punch, you become VERY CLOSE to the scrap bin.  For years I saved the tiniest of paper scraps never really knowing what I would ever do with them.  NOW I KNOW!!!  That owl punch utilizes the smallest pieces of paper.  And any scrap piece that you can't manage to put into the punch can EASILY be attached to a sticky note and fed into the punch to punch out.... nothing goes to waste with this baby!!!

If you'd like to get your hands on this cupcake card, I AM giving away this card and 19 others that I'm featuring here on my blog to the person who places the largest order on my Stampin Up card club party in July.  All YOU have to do to participate is place an order using my hostess code.

MY VERY FIRST CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVE AWAY!

Ok ... so the time has come. I've got some BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN USED, STILL IN THE PLASTIC Cricut Cartridges to give away over the next couple of months and it starts with one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES...... Hannah Montana! YAY! I LOVE this cartridge! It's got the most beautiful guitar images along with musical notes and FIVE fonts! I used the regular font and the rock star font to create my Father's Day card this year (see above). I also used the Hannah Montana cart (see below) to create a beautiful butterfly (FREE Gypsy cut file HERE ), and am currently working on a project using the gorgeous solitaire diamond. There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading. It's been a long time favorite and now I'm THRILLED to be able to give it away to one of my awesome readers! So here's how to win: Become one of my follower

The Old Clunker

A few years back I received a Creative Zen Micro Photo for Christmas. It was wonderful! The fact that I could finally carry around all my music in a super small (or I thought at the time)2.25" x 3.5" music player was sheer freedom from carrying around that old, large, portable cd player and I won't even go into the tons of music cds that also had to go along for the ride. Ok... so I'll mention them briefly, hahahahaha! And I was also surprised by how much lighter this music player was. At 5.5 oz., wearing it fashionably on an armstrap to the gym put me in the leagues with the top fitness buffs. Then something shifted... I was no longer hip, or in, or cool anymore. Suddenly everything shrunk and my music player was now a gigantic dinosaur! What the heck?!? Now everyone was sporting music players that were as big as the face of a watch and were a million times lighter than mine. All of a sudden I was back in the 7th grade trying to convince my mom to buy me the latest
