Do you love Strawberry Shortcake? :)


Using my Copic markers these days seems to mean coloring some of the most darling stamped and line art images of children. And what is more iconicly young Americana than our girl Strawberry Shortcake and her pals? Today I made 9 cards using my Copics. I am still learning on these great pens and my blending needs more practice. But I do love how these images turned out! These Hasbro Strawberry Shortcake* images can be found on several of Hasbro's officially sponsored coloring pages online and are meant for us to print and color.



Since these cards are for my individual personal use ( I color one and send it to a specific small child.) I believe I can use them for my personal sending. I just save the image off to my desktop, re-sized them and printed them out in multiples. I color them all the same and later add them to my handmade cards. When done, I send them out to a particular child who has been touched by illness and needs a little cheering up. Strawberry Shortcake is the girl for that job! She can bring a smile to anyone's face. I colored the images above in the hearts --and colored and created these below for the cards of the girl reading her book as well.





If you would like to send a card to a specific child who is ill, please join Jennifer McGuire's Cards for Kids collection here. These kids are so brave, they deserve a little token of how much we care.

Let's use our stash to perk up someone's day! (And you can also send them to your own little friends too.)

Don't forget the MY ALL CARD GIVEAWAY! Place a comment below before April 16th at 12 midnight central time and you could be randomly picked for a set of 4 of my assorted handmade cards! Be sure and include your email so I can contact you if you win!

Wow, I'd love to win four cards from you!! Your cards are so beautiful. I don't use coppics, but I think they look awesome :) Good for you for sending off cards for kids who need a little cheering up :) I'm going to check out that site.

I also wanted to tell you that I love your yahoo group. Though I politely ignore your daily comment to get off the computer and go scrap, LOL.

Hi, firstly I would like to thankyou for all the wonderful hints, tips, ideas, how to's etc that you freely give.

I have never heard of Coppics, but am now off to check out ebay lol. They don't have at our local scrapping store.

I have only recently promised my nearly 5 DGD that I would make some girlie cards for a few parties that she has invites to for little friends birthday parties.

How timely, they all love Strawberry Shortcake. Thankyou....

Will be keeping my fingers crossed (hehe)'that I may be extra lucky enough to win 4 of your gorgeous cards.

Cheers,
Linda

A Spiral Christmas Tree Skirt

Image
Here you see a  gift I just finished this morning for my daughter. It is a spiral bargello style quilted tree skirt. I sewed on it all Saturday and Sunday this weekend and just had the ties to sew on this morning. It's an early Christmas gift kind of like the one I made for my son and his wife a few weeks ago .  T his spiral design my daughter chose also uses a 10 degree wedge ruler but is about 1/3 more time consuming than the randomly placed 5 inch charm square wedge style because you have to spend more time getting the strip formation right.  There was a SULKY brand online tut o rial and pattern for a single color repeat but I liked the slower color change better seen in the t wo photos below . I think the spiral design is enhanced by the more gradual color change. I saw these two spirals below on Google Images but they only led me to p icture link s and not a tutorial. I ha d to devise my own from looking at that pictures.   http://www.backyardchickens.com/t

Paper Stash Storage Solutions: 1- 12 inches of paper

Image
Your paper storage units should suit YOUR needs and YOUR paper storage style. Imagine this: Two people who sit down side by side at a crop party. Soon they will start talking about tool and paper storage. Pretty soon, one will want what the other one has. It all sounds so good --and it is working for her companion. But when she goes out to buy it, and she takes it home, it might be all wrong. Why?? Because those two people will NOT need exactly the same storage solutions! So how do you know what to invest in? And yes, paper storage is an investment. You don’t want to waste money or TIME. Spend your time and money on solutions that are great for YOU! How much paper do you have? Are you happy with your storage units? How do you plan on going about using it? Can you find a specific paper you need in less than 5 minutes? Choose containers and units that appeal to your sense of décor style AND your real storage needs. Don’t be fooled by cute shapes or new prints. No matter how cute, an acco

Cropping Party Games

Cropping Party Games Because I have been a scrapper so long, I am often asked how to plan a crop or party. Sometimes I just say “Bring out the chocolate, call our scrapbooking buddies and it will instantly be a party!” But honestly it takes a little more planning than that. One of my favorite things to do is to share my stash in the form of prizes and giveaways. From fiber to gems to rubber stamps, if you come to my crops you usually get goodies!!! But usually you have to EARN them in the form of occasional crop games or contests. I have adapted some bridal and baby shower games to scrapbooking parties with success. And I have also adopted other games I have played at conventions and store crops. Here are a few games for scrapbooking parties that might help you plan your next get-together. Here are a few games to space out throughout the crop about an hour apart. At the beginning of the crop: Name Doodle Contest: Have markers of all kinds available (your Zig collection?) and blank name
