Julie Babcock — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:00:41 +0000

I just love the “What _____ Think(s) I Do” memes that are floating around the internet. So, I thought I would make one for all of the paper crafters out there. Let me know what you think. I think it’s funny! Hope you do too

A Nugget of Love

Julie Babcock — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:00:53 +0000

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Hope you have a super day with the ones you love. Here is the Valentine I made for my teenage son. It will be hanging from his bathroom mirror when he wakes up

I used two punches from the Petal Card Punch to make the hearts. It’s the perfect size for a Hershey’s Nugget.

Other Supplies Used:

Cherry Cobbler Card Stock
Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine
Varsity Letters Alphabet Stamp Set

Have a great day and don’t eat too much chocolate

Happy Birthday to My Hubby!!

Julie Babcock — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:00:49 +0000

Today is my hubby’s birthday!! I’m not gonna’ tell you how old he is, but let’s just say this is his last year in this particular decade

I wanted to make him a treat. I’ve seen these cake boxes before and I finally got up the nerve to try one out. It was soooo easy! I LOVE it!!

I used Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Very Vanilla card stock. The flower accents are made with crumpled up 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punches.

The sentiment comes from the Word Play stamp set. I stamped it onto a 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch and then layered it onto two 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punches. The “candle” is rolled card stock stuffed with yellow tissue paper.

And . . .the best part is, it’s stuffed with CANDY!! YUM! Sweets for my sweetie!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!!

Color Inspiration

Julie Babcock — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:19:08 +0000

Today I went with my husband to buy some new ties. It so wasn’t the boring errand I thought it was going to be. All the COLORS!!! I wasn’t anticipating being inspired at Men’s Wearhouse of ALL places.

I’ll be creating a card inspired by one of these ties. Which pic should I choose?

I love the blue and brown combinations in these ties!

This bunch is kind of monochromatic, but the green one had me thinking of St. Patrick’s Day.

I always have trouble with orange. I would never think to put blue with it. It looks awesome here though. Gonna’ have to try that.

Leave a comment and let me know which color combo you would like to see me try. I will post the card here on my blog.
