{ Inspire Me 2010 - week 2, My Scrapbook Nook, Robot Party }

Here is my ATC for Inspire Me week 2. Fun technique with tissue paper. I pretty much did it just like Rhonda, with my own twist....and I used Shimmerz. Licorice Shimmerz Spritz for the bottom layer then I painted the tissue paper with Lilac Shimmerz. The little house is sprayed with Chickadee Shimmerz Spritz.

I used Happiness Is stamp set from Impression Obsession, Elle's Studio journal tag, Maya Road chipboard house, Prima flower and Basic Grey rub-on. The house is sprayed with Chickadee Shimmerz Spritz and lots of glitter. I am still creating with My Scrapbook Nook January kit....Pink Paislee Cupid collection. This kit is sold out.

I used December Sky Shimmerz Blingz and Sea Foam Shimmerz Spritz for the chipboard butterfly.
Alex's Robot party was a success. I had issues with the cake frosting, but it turned out OK. We made the robot and the idea came from here. Betty Crocker Robot Cake.

Birthday boy!

{ Inspire Me 2010 }

I found something else to keep me occupied this year. In addition to taking daily photos, again, I am joining Ronda Palazzari and doing weekly ATC cards. She is posting wonderful techniques and word prompts.

How fun are these little cards! I sprayed the background with a light coat of Vintage Hymn Shimmerz Spritz. Then, I applied white branch rub-on. I sprayed over that with Ruby Shimmerz Spritz and stamped polka dots with December Sky Blingz. Pink Paislee cherub stamp, Chick note stamp from Elle's Studio, paper clip and bakers twine from Making Memories and One Bright Spot flower. A while back I found these ATC cards at Michaels, dollar bin, and bought several packages. Didn't know what I was going to do with them at the time, but how perfect are they now! I am so excited. Week 2 is posted, I better get started on that. I wanted to share Alex's birthday party invitation that I made. The little robot stamp is from Michaels. I colored him with Prismacolor pencils and gemsol. Other stamps used: Hampton Art, Sassafras Lass and Impression Obsession. Can you guess what the theme is? One of my favorite projects is published in CardMaker January 2010 issue. It's a tin with a set of four cards using Basic Grey stamps and Pink Paislee patterned paper. Two full pages, 18 &19. If you ever want to check out my publications, I have updated photos here. >My Scrapbook Nook blog hop and giveaway is still going on in the post below, make sure and leave a comment for a chance to win.
