Hip-Hippo-ray!

This is a card that I made for a family member who just found out she got a new job. I am so excited for her and I hope she smiles when she gets this in the mail. I just can seem to escape the Pun Fun Stamp set lately for my cards....it's just too versatile! I'm using one of the new "In-Colors" in this one ...Tangerine Tango I think it's called. Love it!

Stamps: Pun Fun
Inks: Tangerine Tango, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum
Papers: Tangerine Tango, Perfect Plum, Cosmo Cricket Patterned Paper (Storytime Collection I think), White
Accessories: Bashful Blue brad, Bashful Blue Grosgrain ribbon, Nestabilities square scallop die, Cuttlebug embossing folder (background), Word Window Punch
Note: I created my own Tangerine Tango marker by using one of my old dried out blender pens and soaking the tip in Tangerine Tango refill ink. Fortunately I have a whole set of dried out blender pens (6 tips, 6 colors - perfect!)

Name Change

In case you haven't noticed yet, I've changed the name of my blog to "Scrappy Mama : Making time for Creativity". The only thing that has changed is the name and the appearance of the blog. I just want all of you subscribers to not be surprised if you're getting feeds from "Scrappy Mama" now. If you ever forget my web address, it's easier to remember now as www.scrappymama.com.

Thanks to all of you subscribers and frequent viewers out there, it's so nice to be connected to fellow papercrafters around the world!

Disney Scrapbooking

I've been trying to catch up on my scrapbooking lately and I skipped ahead to the photos that I was most excited about....the ones from my Disney trip. I'm also borrowing some Cricut cartridges from a friend of mine right now so I want to use them as much as I can before I have to give them back. Over the next few days I'll be posting some of my layouts, so stay tuned...

This first 2 page layout is my kick-off to my Disney section of my scrapbook.

Papers: Bashful Blue Textured, Real Red, Basic Black, Vellum cardstock

Accessories: Mickey Eyelets, May Arts ribbon
