Lil' Robots

Here is another layout/card combo.

I need to start by saying how much I loved this kit. Lil' Robots from My Minds Eye. It is from 2010 so it may not still be available. Sorry for teasing you. This was such a great find. My friends sons birthday party was a Robot theme and we had the hardest time finding anything for decorations. Just before the party came out the cricut cartridge became available and we used the cartridge to make all the decorations. Then just after the party an online scrapbook company had this kit for sale at just $5. I am a little behind in my scrapbooking so I am just now getting to those photos and the colours in the picture matched the paper perfectly. I love this kit! What a great find! All the papers and embellishments were from the kit. I used liquid glass on some of the die cuts to make them more like buttons. And I used one of the embossing folders for the robots cuttlebug.

Using a few scrap of paper from the kit the card were so easy. The robot stamp is Imaginisce Robot Rockin Snag 'me Stamps. The copic I used to colour him are W1/W3 / YR04 / BG18 / YG63. I used W1 to darken the orange and real to match the papers a little better and it worked out perfectly.

Little punkin

I have started to save the scraps from my scrap book pages to use with cards. I am hoping that by doing this I will stop adding to my big box of scraps. The colour combinations are already worked out so i just need an idea and poof I've made a card. Here is one of my attempts. The scrapbook page I made a while ago and don't know where all the supplies were from, all from my stash, all random places. The paper for the card was all scraps from the layout so I'm not sure the product lines. The stamp is Beebug from Whipper Snapper Designs. The copics I used to colour it are... Y13/Y15/Y17. 100. W3. V12/V17. G03/G05/G07. R24/ R27. B00

Easter egg surprise lunch

Yay for pintrest!! Another cute idea found. For lunch we will often have veggies and cheese and deli meats but today instead of just on a plate I hid each item in a colour full Easter Egg. Fun surprises and lots of giggles thru lunch.

Coconut cupcakes

For Easter I found a recipe on pinterest for coconut cupcakes. Since I had a million other things to do I took the idea and made it a little more simple. White cake mix and substituted coconut milk for the water in the mix added a little coconut extract and yumm. Icing was where I saved myself the time and bought (which i never do)a container of cream cheese frosting. I whipped it up a few seconds with some coconut extract. After icing the cupcakes I dipped them in some flaky coconut. They were very moist they taste like coconut but it isn't overwhelming. Hoppy Easter.
