Two Scoops Rice Challenge- Recipe Card

Hi Everyone! Two Scoops Rice Designs will be hosting challenges on their blog starting today! Yay! That means you have chances to win TSR Stamps! Our first challenge is hosted by Enjoli.. she came up with a Recipe Card... For all you newbies out there to challenges, its not an actual recipe card for putting recipes on. You may think that's a silly statement, but that's what I thought!!!! I had to ask Enjoli to make sure, and I'm pretty sure she must have been rolling on the floor laughing at my question! OK back to the challenge... Here's the "recipe":

• 1 Two Scoops Rice Image- if you don't own any TSR stamps, there are free digis on their blog that you can use to enter!
• 2 solid cardstocks
• 1 white cardstock
• 1 printed paper
• 1 piece of ribbon
• 1 sprinkles of bling

Other info you need to know:

• Entries must use a TSR design- go get your free digi if you don't have any TSR stamps.
• You must follow the recipe in order to qualify for the prize.
• Cards do not have to be Christmas themed.
• Winner of the Challenge will receive a Muffles the Snowman Cone and Juggling Bunny Stamps!
• You have one week to submit your entry.. for more details go to the TSR blog.

I decided to use the bear from the Hot Chocolate Set. This set is so cute! I've used it a lot making Gift Card Holders for coffee lovers. Since he was holding a mug, I decided to use a mug template I found (sorry I don't know where I got it from!) and shrank it down to fit onto my card. To add some depth to the mug, I used my Copic markers to add some shadowing on the sides of the mug.

The challenge for me was figuring out where to put the ribbon and bling. I decided to make "steam" coming from the cocoa cup using my cuttlebug swirls embossing folder and using stickles to add the bling. The ribbon didn't really fit anywhere on my project, so I added it to the handle of the mug. Here's a close up of the cocoa bear.

Have A Scrap Happy Day!

I've been trying to get one of my friends, Karen to start her own blog. She finally did it! Please welcome her to the blogging world! Here's the link to her blog "Have A Scrap Happy Day".

Here's the Christmas card she sent me along with a cute cute cute Tina Wenke stamp! Sorry Karen- I just copied the photo from your blog- hope you don't mind! :)

I think she partially blames me for her scrapping/card making addiction!

Another B-day RAK

Look at what Enjoli sent me for my birthday! She's so sweet yah? I really didn't expect anything, but she sent it to me anyway... Thank you Enjoli! I can't wait to meet her in a few weeks when she comes to Hilo- hopefully we can finally meet in person! Thank you Enjoli! I can't wait to start using all these goodies!

Need a Cookie Break?

I have a soft spot for Santas.. He's definitely my favorite Christmas icon. This is actually a digi stamp designed by Amy of A Thousand Sheets of Paper. They are available for purchase on All That Scraps site. I think its funny that she called the stamp "cookie break". I always wondered if Santa actually ate the cookies I left for him. My mom always told me that Santa was too full of cookies by the time he made it to our house because we live in Hawaii and are one of his last stops. Guess I'll never know if it was that or if our baking was just bad. Here's a close up of Santa. Also wanted to feature this cute sentiment stamp by Dandelion Designs. Jean makes the cutest stamps and coordinating sentiments. I thought it was fitting since Santa was eating a cookie. The punch is another Martha Stewart punch I found at Walmart that I thought resembled christmas tree branches. Now I need a cookie break!! Supplies: Santa digi- All that Scraps Sweet Christmas Wishes stamp- Dandelion Designs Pine punch- Martha Stewart Crafts Ribbon Circle and Scallop Circle punch- Marvy DP- Reminisce Markers- Copics

Snow Angel

Actually, her name is Hannah Angel and she is so darling. I think she is so sweet and reminds me of my angel, Akemi. Since Akemi loves pink, I decided to dress Hannah in pink too!

Used my snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder to give the card some subtle texture. I just love the look of embossing on the Bazzil Bling papers. It comes out really nice and because they are pearly, its really pretty.

Here's a close up of Hannah.

Yay-the weekend is here! Off to craft craft craft!

Hannah Angel stamp- Two Scoops Rice

RAKs to Share

Can't wait for the weekend! Got LOTS of crafting to do and I'm already behind!

Just wanted to acknowledge some RAKs I got recently. Teri sent me some images that you can't get anymore (darn, why do I only figure out I want them after they are retired?). Isn't she sweet? Speaking of Teri, go to her site to check out her offer... She will send you some 3M adhesive paper in exchange for a holiday card, which she will donate to the Women's Transitional Center. So nice yah? What a win win situation yah? Get a goodie and make someone happy!

Included with the images was this lovely card. I just love this Dasher stamp from SU. It's not really my style, but I bought it anyway and love using it... especially for guy cards.

The second RAK was from my cousin Laura. I sent her the blog candy she won and she sent me this thank you card and some washi tape (is that what it is Laura?). I think this card is so cute. If you check out her blog, she cites where she got the idea from. I think its all punches! How clever! I love how she made the card look like a store! Makes me want to go bag shopping!

Thank you ladies!
