Celebrities Hollywood: Februari 2010

Chocolate Cupcake, Blog Hop, and Fabulous Blog Hop Candy

Wow, what a great Monday morning!

First - it is the monthly BBTB2 Design Team Blog Hop! That means you probably arrived here from BBTB2. The featured cut this week is one of the cupcakes from the Celebrations cartridge. I cut my cupcake in chocolate brown paper with pink frosting and gem flower sprinkles. I then added a birthday hat, a scalloped card front and a Happy Birthday tag made with Stampin' Up stamps and Spellbinders oval nesties to create this girly birthday card. I topped the birthday hat off with a lovely prima flower and a larger gem flower and trimmed both the hat and the cupcake wrapper with Making Memories ribbon

In addition to the blog hop, we have a lot going on at BBTB2. BBTB2 has a blog hop give away which is being sponsored by Everyday Cricut (formerly known as Holiday with the Cricut). You can win the Sweethearts cartridge and package of SEI (Happy Day) scrap paper. All you have to do to be eligible to win is leave a comment on BBTB2 blog AND sign up to follow the BBTB2 blog. How easy is that?

I too have a fabulous blog hop give away/blog candy. Custom Crops is sponsoring me this week with a $25.00 gift voucher for their store. Just leave a comment below and I will select a winner for the gift voucher on Thursday, March 4th. Thank you so much Custom Crops for sponsoring my prize this month!

After you leave your comment below you (because YOU KNOW you want the $25.00 gift voucher) you will continue on the BBTB2 design team blog hop. Your next stop is at Lori's blog. Lori is a very talented designer and I know you are going to love what she has made to share. Happy Hopping!!

Out of Order for the Week

I needed a big sign hanging on over my shoulders this week which read: "OUT OF ORDER". No that is not a Robert's Rules of Order reference, but rather the state of my existance. I had a rather unpleasant stomach virus. I finally turned the corner yesterday and was feeling better, that is until dinner tonight. I think I over estimated my ability to handle "real food".

I was on the BRAT diet for a few days, but last night I decided I could have a light meal. The light meal went so well that I over reached tonight. Now my stomach is not happy with me, nor I with it!

I really am sharing so that you might understand where I have been this week. I will return early, early Monday morning with my BBTB2 project, AND the blog hop, AND a nice sponsored prize. So visit me again on Monday and in the meantime, try to avoid the germs that are floating about this winter!

Not wanting to post an "empty" entry, I am sharing photographs of Sheldon Church Ruins (originally named "Church of Prince William's Parish"), a magical place in the southern part of the state, near the ocean. The church was burned down twice and was not rebuilt the last time. The first time it was burned by the British in the Revolutionary War; the second time it was burned by Gen. Sherman's forces as they marched though during the Civil War. Such a beautiful place to have such a sad history.

Sorry for the long scilence guys, been swamped in school this past week! All I can say is I can't wait for tomorrow. I've kind of been disconnected from my beloved fashion world and spending some time right nowchecking my favorite sites and blogs, before blogging myself on something that catches my eye.

Like this...? Nah. ( I forgive you because of the bag though, Dakota...and cus you're fifteen...AND cus I think the look you had in mind was good. But this isn't).

Can't wait for Oscar night fashion!
But since we have to wait another week or so, I just want to give the worst look I have yet seen at the Awards....(drumroll)

Fifty State Paper Doll Swap

I finally finished the paper dolls for the 50 State Paper Doll Swap I joined on the Cricut message board. Someone kick me the next time I sign up for a swap that does not pre-list the conditions!

I had to make 50 paper dolls, 25 each from two states, Georgia and South Carolina. We were supposed to make the dolls four inches tall and include accessories.

I made this cute beach scene to represent South Carolina - We do have a lot of fabulous beaches! My accessories include a Palmetto Palm tree, the state tree, with a tag bearing the state tourism motto.

For Georgia I had a brain block. I could only think of Georgia peaches. So... I made peach farmers.

The baskets were a bit more time consuming than I had planned. I added a wheelbarrow as an accessory, with the title, Georgia - The Peach State.

I cut a fill sheet of the peaches at .70 inches. I used a copic marker and colored the stems and leaves before removing the peaches from the mat.

I will put my swaps in the mail tomorrow and hopefully they will get to Jen by Thursday.

Sigma Makeup

These are hands down the best brushes you will ever get for your money. The lovely people over at sigma makeup sent me a complete brush set AND brush roll. The total for that package is around 100 dollars, which is less than 3 MAC brushes, and included in your complete set you get TWELVE professional brushes. And they come delivered to you in this beautiful sheer bag

The value of these brushes is no joke, the brush roll is this very nice leather, all of the brushes are comparable to MAC brushes (in terms of uses), but I feel as though the might even surpass them in quality. They feel so soft, and they have a brush for your every need. They are simply AMAZING. So all my makeup lovers out there, SAVE YOUR MONEY, and just buy the set from Sigma Makeup, you will NOT regret it!

I’m actually trying to get my hands on the premium set now! I cannot stop raving about these brushes! If you end up ordering some, let us know how you liked them, and tell them DTY sent ya!

Circus Birthday Wishes

I am a bit late posting my BBTB2 project today. I usually write my post before going to bed on Sunday evening and set the blog to post in the middle of the night. Last night I was too tired to write. I spend much of Sunday evening working on 50 paper dolls for a message board swap (more on this tomorrow).

So on to my BBTB2 project. The challenge cut of the week is the elephant from the Everyday Paper Doll cartridge. The elephant is really cute and I have been told that the trunk is extended in a "lucky" pose. I used the elephant to make a birthday card for my nephew, Carter, who will be two later this spring.

I added two train cars from EDPD as well as a scalloped border from Accents Essentials. I wanted the card to be fun and bright - but I may have gone too far. The Happy Birthday mini stamp is from a Dacie's set and was cut out with oval nesties. All in all, not my best work, but I still love this cute elephant!
