And now for my project!

So.. although Underdog was before my time, I was fortunate enough to see it in syndication when I was a child and I LOVED IT!

Underdog is the Superman of the Canine World, he has his alter ego, a love interest and of course Villains!

Since I think Brad is a trooper dealing with is diabetes, I wanted to make his a "super" card for a "super kid"....so here are my 2 projects for Brad!

I took the Underdog File that is available through donation (today and tomorrow only) and created a Shaped Card and a treat topper. I totally love how it came out with the bold bright colors of the Super Hero palette.

I used Jaded Blossoms Scallop Topper Die for the treat topper (which is the 3 X 4 baggies) filled with Spree Candies.

I had to Star up this Super cute project, so the Star Dies were just PERFECT add on's, along with fun and totally awesome sentiments from Super Hero!

Hope you enjoyed my project...

DON'T forget to DONATE to get these files!!

To get Underdog you would need to donate $15...

but for $10 more you get ALL the dogs from the WHOLE HOP!!!

Up next on the hop is my sweet and dear friend MEL!!!

Jaded Blossom May release day 5 - Have a Gear-ific Day!

Hi Everyone, It's Release Day over at Jaded Blossom! We hope you all enjoyed our projects this week. But as you know we have one more Stamp Set and our May Freebie.
Monday- Dinosaur Chow Tuesday- Happy Camper Wednesday- Girl Robot Thursday- Monkey Bars

Here is the last stamp set for this Month

For our Freebie of the Month !

Here's what I created with the new Paint Splatters 2

I used the new Penny Cards to make this interactive sliding circle card. It just went so well with the gears and knowing how they move, I just felt this card base was the best to use! The Paint Splatters 2 are so fun to play with and overlap one on top of the other. I used different inks to make an ombre effect. I used Gears to decorate and the mini tag dies 2 for my sentiment!

To visit the Jaded Blossom Store HERE

and for Favor Boxes HERE

A little bit of twine makes the "ring" they are fighting in.....

And now for my project!

I love to do secondary characters in blog hops! These are the ones that I personally connect with in movies and shows.... but they don't get all the love!

Today I made Figrin D'an from "Figrin D'an and the Module Nodes".

Now those that ARE Star Wars fans, know who this guy is! He is the leader of the band Module Nodes and they play in the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Figrin D'an plays an instrument called the Kloo Horn. He has no particular allegiance to those in power and plays it rather nuetral.

I placed my Kloo playing friend on the Tall Slender Bottle Box, filled with yummy chocolate treats.

I added in some musical notes and a sentiment from Hello Hello stamped on Dimensional Banner Dies. Some Matching lime ribbon from my stash ties it together!
