How happy does that cute little laughing lemon make you?  It makes me giggle every single time I look at it! 

Be sure to head on over today to the Imaginisce blog to check out the final day of the Design Team reveals!!!  Today is tutorials, step by steps and videos. 

I have one final creation to share with you and this is in honor of Lori's Birthday which was yesterday!  She is amazing!!!

Happy Birthday Lori!!!

I had so much fun creating this happy little card for her.  I made each of the flowers on here.  The fun little bird and the "H is for Happy" are both from Maya Road.  My I-Top made the perfect center for my orange honeycomb starburst flower.  The twine is from the Twinery. I stitched on my yellow ribbon to gather it (not recommended...  it was challenging, but I really like how it works on here!).

Party On!!!

Berrylicious Cards!

Thank you for stopping on over today!  We are in the midst of the Release Party for Berrylicious, the fun and fresh new line from Imaginisce!!!  Wait til you see the adorable cards that the design team created!

Here is how this fresh and fun line inspired me:

Can you Dig It?  I loved the little seed packs and cut them out, used my ribbon slide punch and some Ikea coffee stir sticks and voila!  I loved the idea of the brown polka dot paper for "dirt", and the striped trim with the seeds on the bottom reminded me of a planted line of garden vegetables or fruits.  I added some bakers twine by Martha Stewart to help rope off my garden!  This card takes me back to the gardening days of my youth with my Mom.

The sweetest little bees!  Those pretty flowers just looked like bees would need to visit them.  I added just a little sparkle of bling to the floral centers with my I-Rock.  I love seeing all the different takes on this beehive from the Design Team!  It's amazing!!!

Here is my final card for this reveal.  I had a total blast making this whimsical card!  I just started trimming and cutting and punching and when I stopped, this is what I had!  I added a few gems with my I-Rock in the honeycomb for interest. 

That's it for me today, but make sure you stop on over to the Imaginisce Blog today for your chance to win an entire collection of Berrylicious for yourself!!!  While you're there, say a Happy Birthday to Lori too!

Have yourself a super scrappity day!!!

The Release Party Continues!!!

Happy Tuesday morning to you!!! 

The entire Imaginisce Design Team is so excited to share our projects for the newest release...  "Berrylicious" with you!  Today we are revealing our projects and trust me, you definitely want to make sure you visit the Imaginisce Blog!!! 

My project started out as a simple heart shaped frame from Michael's.  I pondered what exactly I wanted to create with it and as I looked at the Berrylicious line, I kept seeing the reds, the awesome green and vibrant yellow and my idea was born!  I saw some Sesame Street characters in this paper and I wanted to make them come to life!  Enter into the picture my Cricut Expression and Sesame Street Cartridge.

So, a little more thinking and after a quick run to the dollar store for a digital timer and here we go...  I present to you:   Time Out!  (This can be used for them or you...  Ha!  I'm just sayin'!!!)

I used the honeycomb paper for the orange in Big Bird's tongue and legs, then I added orange peel stickles. I embossed Big Bird with my Swirl Cuttlebug folder.  As you can see, I used a variety of stickles to give texture.  Glossy Accents on his eyes was the final touch.

My favorite pet project... Oscar!  He was so much fun to create!  He is inked with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink for shading and dimension.  I just love how the I-Rock and those rhinestuds look on his can!  A little more stickles, glossy accents for his eyes and curled hemp and he was set!

I saved the best for last...  of course that's Elmo!!!  We love Elmo at our house!

I inked over his shape with Barn Door Distress Ink to morph away the white polka dots.  He is textured with a Viva Decor Glass Pen.  Some Orange Peel Stickles on his nose and Glossy Accents for his eyes finished him off.  All the characters on here are pop dot attached for dimension.

This was such a fun project!  To me, it's way more interesting to manage Time Out than with the boring old microwave timer. 

There are so many ways to use this fresh and fun line, it's so incredibly versatile!  I can't wait to see what YOU create with Berrylicious!!!  Make sure you stop on over to the Imaginisce Blog and comment for your chance to win the entire collection!

Thanks so much for stopping on by and spending a moment with me and the Sesame Street gang here!  Have a Super Scrappity Day!!!
