Nifty Fifties Blog Candy Winner Announced....is it you?


Thanks for everyone that has visited my blog and left wonderful comments on my Nifty Fifties Card in the month of March!  As promised,  if you left a little love, I would pick a random winner from the comments and send the cards I made to you as a gift for visiting and taking time out your busy lives to leave me feedback.  I am so grateful for all the love and appreciate everyone's thoughtful comments, so THANK YOU ALL!

So here is the thing Random.org is not working so well for me.  I can not seem to lock the number generator in place on my blog.  
(Rock Girl **sighs heavily after 30 minutes of being unsuccessful**)

so I did the next best thing, cause I don't want to be a known as a cheater or not playing fair to everyone...I created a random generator and took a picture of the random number it picked!  
(Rock Girl** asks that if anyone can help me on this problem, it would be greatly apprecaited!**)



DRUM ROLL PLEASE....................

 NUMBER 34!!!!!

NIFTY FIFTIES CRICUT CARTRIDGE: You Bowl Me Over Card



Here is my last card in my March series using the Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge.

I used the bowling pin and ball images located on page 33 set at 5 inches.

I really wanted to make a more masculine card for this last one.  I think as a female crafter, I tend to make gifts and cards for my female friends and tend to forget about the men in my life!  Not good, especially since everyone I know really supports my business and my creative talents.

The red stripes on the bowling pin really dedicated the color scheme of this card, besides I think that you can not get any more masculine with black and red!

  Again with my polka dotted background paper for this card!

  I used some of my left over scraps for the background of this card.  Okay, so this card makes a loud statement with very little effort on this Rock Girl's part!  This card took 5 minutes to make and 3 1/2 of those minutes was because I had to wait for my Cricut to cut the images.  VERY easy to make!

No stamps were used, this time I used my computer to type up "You Bowl Me Over" tag on white cardstock.


I added a little light brown chalk around the bowling pin to add a little age to it!  I highlighted the bowling ball with white chalk.

This card is a X!

Remember to leave a comment and become a follower of my blog and you will be entered in this month's blog candy!  The blog candy will be the set of cards I create using the Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge in the month of March.  


Winner will be chosen the first week of April.  Good Luck!

NIFTY FIFTIES CRICUT CARTRIDGE: Ohh La La Card

Ohh La La Card

Here is my third card for March using the Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge.

I used the french poodle image located on page 29 set at 4 inches.

I really wanted to use that cool 1950's color hue of the pinks and robinegg blue for this card especially since I used the polka dotted background paper for this card.

  I used some of my left over scraps for the background of this card.  I really enjoyed the simplicity of this card.  You can not get anymore "Ohh La La" than a French Poodle!

The background and cardstock was chosen from my scrap pile to match the background paper.

I used another $1.00 stamp I purchased from Michael's, I think it is made by G Studios.  I just love these $1.00 stamps!

I added a few pink pearls and added a pink polka dots ribbon for that little added appeal and texture.



Remember to leave a comment and become a follower of my blog and you will be entered in this month's blog candy!  The blog candy will be the set of cards I create using the Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge in the month of March.  


Winner will be chosen the first week of April.  Good Luck!

Day 2 of the
Luck of the Irish Blog Hop
Happy St. Patty Day Wall Hanging


Welcome back to Day 2 of the Luck of the Irish Blog Hop!  I hope you had a chance to see all the creations from yesterday!  I am so thankful for all the feedback and love!  Thank you to y'all!  This has been my first time participating in a blog hop and it won't be my last!  I really had a great time and really appreciate Lisa for letting me participate!

The St. Patty's Day Wall hanging was really easy to create!

First, I purchase a canvas artist pack for Dollar Tree...and 2 canvas came in a package!  What a bargain!

I painted the canvas with FolkArt acrylic paint #459 Hauser Green Light
I used a G Studio stamp and stamped flourish clovers all over the canvas.  I used the same stamp set to make the St. Patty's Day signage.

The last step was to glitter spray the canvas.  I did this because the acrylic paint is flat so I wanted to add a little shimmer to the canvas.  The last scrapbook convention I purchased Iridescent spray from the CC International Company, I have not seen this spray in my LSS, but I am sure it is out there!

Next, I created my Teddy Bear Leprechaun using Little Scraps of Heaven SVG template collection Bears through the year.  Templates can be purchased through her site at:http://littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/

I used part of a MyScrapChic.com SVG called Lucky Rainbows. I used it to create my four leave clovers.  I pop dotted the clovers and added a white thread and attach to the hand.

To create the rainbow, I simply cut circles at 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5 inches and layered the circles and cut in half!  Easy rainbow!

I took a shoe lace and cut it to use as the hanger for this canvas!

This creation really took a life on itself, it was easy and once I started I had a very clear vision of the end result.  May your day be full of good luck!


ROCK GIRL DESIGNS DAY 1 BLOG HOP CREATION


This Lucky Me card is 4.5X5 and I think it turned out cute!  What do you think?

The svg template I used for the Teddy Bear is part of the MYSCRAPCHICK.com collection called Lucky Rainbow Bears.  I added some green glitter to add that Rock Girl touch!  This Rock Girl loves her BLING!
