Tutorial Tuesday with High Hopes

This week at High Hopes Tutorial Tuesday ,it's my turn to host it.

I thought I would show you how I made this cute little Easter basket.Here are a couple of pics

of the finished project.I'm featuring these cute Easter images.Aren't they adorable.I precolored them for

this project.

Bear with me, as this is my first tutorial and I also wasn't able to create a video.Just not that technical savy.What I did was I had my daughter take pictures of me creating the project .Because I sooo many pictures I created a slide show.So grab your coffee and snuggle up to the computer and watch.I hope you enjoy and hope this inspires you to create one as well.Don't forget at anytime you can pause the video.

Happy Creating!!!!

For the love of Chocolate....

Here's a challenge you'll literally wanna sink your teeth in ! You must create a project that is completely chocolatey, or scrapbook something you LOVE using shades of brown on your project, maybe you'll personalize some chocolates for Valentine's gifts or go anti-Valentine's day and pro-chocolate.

The choice is yours- this challenge could take you anywhere, just make sure that wherever you go, there's CHOCOLATE with you (either the colour or the flavour)!

And this is what I came up with..

I used my High Hopes Monkey gripping that Chocolate Cupcake like his life depended on it!!LOL I'm sure at on point or time in our lives we all felt that way..hahaa.

I'm also gonna mention how head over hells ,I am with Tim Holtz's film strip ribbon!!!This is fabulous.! I really thought this added to the card.

Thinking of you...

Since all the new releases from CHA have been released.I'm discovering my wish list is really quite long.Among them was all the new releases from Stampavie.It got me thinking about the ones I had stashed away that I hadn't used or barely used.

So I inked up this cutie.I used Graphic 45 papers with her.Now I had issues coloring her up.I tried her several different colorings,ended up with this.Something is bothering me about this card.I'm not quite sure what it is...Oh well.

Enjoy TTYL

On your Anniversary...

Oooh these bunnies from Lili of the Valley are just too darn cute.I thought they were perfect for an Anniversary card or even a wedding card.

I don't have any weddings coming up but do have plenty of Anniversary's coming up.

So I had fun coloring up the bathtub up in pink...yes not your typical colors.

I used Kaiser Kraft's After five papers.This pad is sooo beautiful.See how shiny the foil is...

Hope you liked..thanks for stopping by!!
