All That Scraps Wednesday

Jen has been hosting some fun challenges every week for the All That Scraps DT!!   This week was no different, we were given a fun Amy R sketch to work on :)  I have that card for you, but also I made a really fun borthday party invite for my daughter Rachael's bday that I want to share first.

This was so much fun to make!!  Rachael and her sister Taylor helped out a lot with the ideas of making the pocket card into a bucket (my idea), adding a shovel as the insert (Rachael's idea), etc, etc.  I designed most of it then Rachael said yes or no...then she had to make all the dozen copies of it!  I did a lot of cutting and some coloring but she did most of the work :)

The lining of the bucket is Basic Grey Cupcake PP, I got the 6x6 pad from Christine (All That Scraps)...the small pads are fun cause you get a lot of different patterns for not a lot of bucks!!  I used to only buy 12x12, but no more!  Only the stuff I really like :)  The little monkey is out of one of the new realeses by CC Designs, Summertime Fun.  I absolutely adore this set!  He is holding balloons and wearing  a party hat from Froggie & Friends...and the sentiment is from a Lizzie Anne Designs set that Christine also carries called Its a Party.

The shovel inside is cut at a bit of a slant so that it would stay tilted over to the side (pic below).  The bucket is only attached with the brads, then I added a ribbon handle with some glue dots.

• Supplies:
• Stamps: Summertime Fun, Froggie & Friends (CC Designs), Its a Party (Lizzie Anne Designs)
• Paper: Real Red, Summer Sun Green Galore, White (SU!);, Cupcake PP (Basic Grey)
• Ink: Palette Noir, Turquoise & red (SU!)
• Accessories: Word window Punch (SU!), Brads (Basic Grey), Red grosgrain ribbon (SU!); copic markers

Here is my card for the sketch challenge.  I needed a card for my nephew's birthday so I pulled out Lucky this time :)  He is from the CC Designs set  its My Birthday.  The sentiment is from Froggie & Friends.  How perfect is that saying...I so need that in my world of never on time!

I stuck pretty well to the sketch, but I did divide up the one panel with strips of my PP because I had some scraps that I wanted to use...I think it turned out pretty cool :)  and, back onto the subject of scraps again...I used a piece that I had previously "scrapped"...the banana embossed piece is a reject from a different project (as well as the bow) so I recycled it!!  Yeah me!!  Pretty much it for this card...but I did add a bunch of sparkle to the bows on the presents and I tried to paper-piece one...and one was enough!!

Thanks for hopping over to my corner of the web...don't forget to scroll down to the next post for a chance at Blog candy:)    Happy hump day!    -Cyndi

Great DT card, too. That stamp set lends itself to bright, summery colors. :)
