For this week's challenge we are flaunting the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge and the cuts are Ragedy Ann/ and or Andy on Page 36 and Page 37 of the handbook.

I made a layout with Ragedy Ann and Andy the title says " I love My Cousin Na-Yee (AKA Natalie)"

***Remember you can always click on the picture to zoom in =)***

Aren't they cute!?! The large circle cuts are from my free Gypsy cartridge Printing Press. The font is from Hello Kitty Font, the star border is also from Paper Doll Dress Up. I did some stamping and I also stamped their faces with PKS Rag Doll and Teddy Face Assortment. The ticket stamp is a digi stamp from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. The picture is my son and his cousin Natalie, he always calls her "NA-YEE" so that's where I got the title from. (My second picture didn't look right to me so I will have to re-print a different photo)He is so sweet to her like a big brother always watching out for her. I took these pics of them last May and I told my sister Joanna that I want to make a Ragedy Ann and Andy layout about them holding hands! I finally did it yippee!!

Now onto my 2nd super secret bonus Paper Doll project!!

I made a mini album/autograph book! I made this because my hubby and I invested in Disneyland/California Adventure annual passes recently and it was worth every penny!! I am now a Disney Addict!! I made this autograph book from a 6x6 chipboard album I bought from Michael's $1 bin. The CASTLE is from Paper Doll Dress Up. The title is chipboard letters from We R Memory Keepers. I bought the Mickey Keychain at Disneyland. I painted all the edges with black acrylic paint. I didn't really want to go all out on this mini with too many details that way the characters have room to sign their autograph's and plus this is for my 3 year old son! Never trust a 3 year old lol!!

All of the Mickey cuts on every page are from the Mickey & Friends cartridge. I cut them on DCVW black glitter paper. I didn't want to mess with all of those teeny-tiny Disney layers! I got the Disney background paper from Joann's and I only needed 2 complete 12x12 sheets of paper to make this!

For the back cover I left it simple with a smaller Mickey Mouse head. This entire mini album/autograph book only cost me $1.50 to make! With the Key Chain it cost $5.50! My hubby wanted to buy a $12 one at Disneyland for our son and I yelled at him and said I can make that for less than $3! and I did and I think it looks better then the ones at the park. Now we just need to hunt down all the characters at D-Land!!

Blog CANDY--- I am giving away this ME and  MY BIG IDEAS 8x8 Love/Wedding page kit to one lucky follower just leave me a comment here!

I had the idea for the hop to celebrate a few things... first of all I would like to celebrate the anniversary of the date my hubby Ricky and I first met on February 2, 2003 it really was Love At First Sight! Really!! I knew I wanted to be with him forever from the moment I saw him, and he felt the same way about me too! So 1 year later we got married, we got married on Febraury 28th, 2004 in Viva Las Vegas woo-hoo!! Yep a lot of people thought we weren't going to last since we were young and since we got married in Vegas, boy did we prove them wrong! This hop is very special to me because my hubby just got back from Iraq last week and he was gone for a total of 5 long months so I said we are going to celebrate every single holiday since he missed out on the big holidays over the last months. We are also celebrating Valentine's Day. So I asked all of these wonderful talented ladies to join me in my triple celebration in this Lovely Love Month Of Febraury by making a Love-Themed gift for someone we love.  Some of us will be sharing pictures of us with the person we are creating the gifts for. Here is one of Ricky and I at the Marine Corps. Ball in '05. I love this picture it came out better then the photographers picture!

Here are the projects I made for my hubby (well except for one it's kind of girly LOL!)

Here's a picture frame I made with American Craft's paper, glossy modge podge, the owls and sentiment are from Hoot N Holler Cricut Lite. The faces are both from Peachy Keen Stamps, Critter Faces and Simple Simons. That's me and my honeybun!

This digi is from a brand new digi company called Kich N Bleus Design's. I colored it with Bic markers, stamped the sentiment with PKS and the talk bubble is from Gyspy Wandering. Thank you Kich N Bleus (Abby & Kich) for sponsoring this digi for my hop!

#25, 26, 27, 28 Digi Monday At Paper Playtime

Hi everyone! Today is a start of a new Era LOL! Well sort of.... at Paper Playtime we the Queens will have Digi Monday on the last Monday of every month and the theme is always "Anything Goes". You do not have to use a Digi to participate in the challenge, but keep in mind we will have 5 Digi prizes, this is perfect especially if you have never experimented with them before. Under each card you will see my description.

I made this card for my hubby this is supposed to be him and our 3 year old son. My son loves this card...he already said "Aidan" and pointed at the baby, and "Papi" (AKA Daddy) to the dad it was so cute!! I colored this digi with Bic markers, cut the Marquee shape from Accent Essentials, embossed with 2 CB folders and added ribbon, and buttons. I used pop dots underneath the Digi. The Digi is Prairie Fairy

I am entering this card in the Stamp Challenges which is WINTER also entering in the Southern Girls Challenge which is DRY EMBOSSING. Mami Doodles Challenge THE MAGIC OF LOVE.

I love this card especially since it was a TOTAL cheater card!! Shhhh don't tell anyone.... can you tell where I cheated lol!?! I colored Little Red Riding Hood  with Bic Markers, stamped a flower on her napkin and added stickles, I put stickles on her bow, lips, and socks. I cheated because that paper had so much going on it had butterflies and flowers and I figured it didn't need anything else. After I colored her it took me maybe 2-3 MINUTES to put this card together NO JOKE!! The sentiment is from Pink By Design and I also added pearls. You can get Little Red Riding Hood at Digital Delights By Louby Loo

I had fun with this little blue bird he looks SO ready for Spring, well I know I am! I colored him with Bics, used some older DCVW Springtime paper and the green paper is from my scrap pile and I used my border punch, added pink velvet ribbon, a button and the sentiment and Bird are both from Doodle Pantry

I am also entering this card in the Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle Challenge which is to use Punches.

Here's a very Naughty card I made for my hubby lol! I wanted this card to look masculine, the paper is from American Craft's and I used my MS punch for the border and added black ribbon along with some inking. I colored this "Naughty" girl with Bics also. The image and sentiment are both from Digi's With Attitude

I am entering this card in the Delicious Doodles Challenge which is Spots ot Stripes.

Please make sure you head over to Paper Playtime to leave the Digi Monday Team some blog love since this is our first challenge together as the Digi Team!Also, if you would like to try some Digi's for FREE please click on each of the company's name and you will see a FREEBIE section to try some Digi's out for Free!
