My Exciting News and a Blog Hop!

Hi all!
Lookie what I have to share with you!

********************************************

Welcome to Red Carpet Studio's One Year Anniversary Celebration!! We're starting the party off right with a blog hop, but don't forget we also have games and prizes going on in our Facebook event group


This weekend our design team is sharing with you inspiring projects for movie nights! Invitations, decorations, and more, you'll leave the hop wanting to have a movie night of your very own.

If you've come from Robin's Blog, you're in the right place! If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, please visit Red Carpet Studio.

Did you notice we are having a new Design Team Reveal?
I'm part of the NEW! :)
Yep,
I'm so excited to be working with this very talented group of ladies!

For this wonderful blog hop I made this....
Using the "blond bombshell" image from our wonderful Sponsor Kenny K.
I printed the invitation to go along with the infamous image. I added baker's twine and sequins to the front and then melon mambo cardstock and some Paper Studio black and white to back the whole thing.

Movie night wouldn't be complete without....
 POPCORN!
I used my Cricut for the background ticket and circles. I used the TH ticket and film strip dies for the other pieces. The papers are from the echo park Love Story collection. I added the word with a CTMH stamp set and then some sequins and doodles to finish it off. I used glue dots to adhere this to a plastic cup of popcorn.


Also, for our Facebook promotion I made these cuties using the images provided by our wonderful sponsor: Sherri Baldy Stamps

What party would be complete without a sign on the front door welcoming your guests? :)

Shabby Birthday Wishes

Hello!
thanks for visiting me

Here's a birthday card I made using a Tim Holtz die and my Big Shot.


I used the pic inspiration over at The Shabby Tea Room
You have to use the colors in the photo as inspiration, plus use material and flowers on your creation. I used tulle material on the dress form along with twine and ribbon and lace behind the form. I used a piece of flower trim for the tiny broach.

I have just found their blog and love the ideas over there! :)

Until next time...
Blessing...

Pink as All Outdoors!

Hello!

My daughter's birthday is Friday (23rd) and over at Twisted Tuesdays we have included a couple of her favorite things in the challenge this round to celebrate!

The challenge is to use the color pink (Her favorite color). The twist is we want to see some outdoor things on your creation....because Bethany LOVES playing outside. :)

Here's what I made:

This is her birthday card.
I used the cupcake monkey image from C.C. Designs.
The flower and butterfly (my outdoor things) are from Prima.
The sentiment is from a Hampton Art set.
I colored the image with Spectrum markers.

Thanks so much!

I'm also entering this at:
(my melon mambo and pink patterned papers are from my scrap pile, along with the white and kraft piece on my sentiment)
(this is the first time I have inked this little monkey up since I bought it last month)

Until next time...
Blessings...

Scraps of Happy Thoughts

Hi all!

I'm back again with a card.
I made this card with scraps of patterned paper I recently used on a layout. I thought the balloons went along great with the sentiment :)

I used three different punches on the sentiment piece.
Even my buttons are "scraps" they were left over from another project....just laying on my craft desk.
The paper is from echo park and the sentiment is from CTMH.

I am entering this at:

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Until next time...
Blessings...
