For my project today I used Rock Princess and Storybook. Storybook has to be one of my favorite cartridges, but Rock Princess is one I hardly use. I was very excited about it when I bought it, but I don't find much occasion for the cute, punky, music stuff on it. Maybe if I was a teenager!

Anyway, I wanted to make a fun card that could be for a boy or girl so this is what I came up with. 

I cute the words Rock Star at 3" and glittered it for some more punk. I used Mod Podge to adhere the glitter because it doesn't warp my paper like glitter glue does. I cut the the frame from Storybook at 4". 

Your next stop is: Marji

Use that Crop-a-dile (for Valentines Day)

Today for Erica's Design team the theme was use your Crop-a-dile. So I decided to make a card using mine, and the Rock Princess Cartridge. Please check out Erica's blog to see more creations with this theme.

I have to admit, I saw this idea somewhere on a blog, although read so many blogs I can't remember which one!

The background paper is from Making Memories Love Notes line. I chalked the edges of the paper with both pink and brown chalk.

 The hear is cut at 3" and I used added rivets to it with my Crop-a-dile. Then used The Twinery's Pink Sorbet Twine to lace it up.

But it didn't show up well on the paper so I added this piece of black cardstock to the back of the card.

I used pop dots to adhere it so that the card would have some depth since I made it so simple.

I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Happy Crafting!
