The Big 3-0 Birthday Hop!

Welcome and thank you for joining us for Jenny's Big 3-OH Birthday Blog Hop!   You should have arrived here from Nikki.  If you just happened to stumble upon this hop, please be sure to go back to Jenny's blog, so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects we have to share.

 Well, I decided to use my Digi's With Attitude Camping Girl!  I thought she was funny and I thought it would be fun to take the humorous side of getting older!  I always loved the saying - You have to grow older - You don't have to grow up!  We gotta look for the humor and bright side in life!  So, Jenny, this is the Big 3-0 for you but as we (who are older) know - this is so just the beginning and "Seriously?"  Have Fun!  There's enough time for serious when you are old and gray!  Wait - I'm approaching and resembling that and I'm still having fun! 

Have Fun Hopping!

Ok - translated - I'm sorry!  It's almost like she has her hankie up to her mouth to say apologetically "I'm sorry"!  Boy am I reading into this digi!  I decided to use the cricut!  The cuts are from Pagoda!  There's a surprise - they have the best Asian cuts - duh?!?!?   It's hard to tell unless you enlarge the photo - my background is glittery white paper!  Ok - now on to the challenge!  It's use something "Asian".  I used the tween Geisha Girl - she's available at Digi's With Attitude.  You've just gotta check out the images available!  There are just so many and they're all great!  There's even a freebie if you'd like to play along - give the images a "test drive" if you will!!  The challenge blog is Digi's With Attitude Challenge Blog .  You just have to pop on over there and check out what the design team has created!  If that doesn't get your mojo going - well, gosh - i don't know what will!  Now pop over - check them out and show us what you can do "Asian Style"!

Take me to the Beach!

Ok - the challenge at Digi's With Attitude is....where would you like to be??  I chose to use Beach Tween - I'd like to be at the beach.  Ok - when I lived there - I didn't wanna' be there but now that I don't - take me back!!!!  We're never happy, eh?  I think that's what keeps life interesting - we're always on the quest for something new!  That's my perception anyway.  I decided to make a little beach bag with the beach tween.  All teens seem to wanna' be laying around, doing either nothing or not much!!!  That's part of being a teen - so, kids get it out of your system now!  Tee Hee!! Anyway, I used the cricut - as always on Tag, Bags, Boxes and More to cut this little beach bag (purse).  I tied a bow and Bam!  She's on her way to the beach.  Hope you enjoy my post and go on over to Digi's with Attitude Blog and check out the design team's posts - they are definitely inspirational and then it's your turn to post at the website to win a digi! http://digiswithattitudechallenges.blogspot.com/ You'll have fun coloring - they are detailed, yet simple enough.  Enjoy and get going...Oh and don't forget to leave a comment and let me know what you're thinking -- even if it's about the teen in your life!!  Love to hear from you

Come on Baby Light My Fire

Come on Baby Light My Fire!!  Don't you just love this Tween!  The Challenge is "Puffy".  Show us your puffy!  She's another Digi's With Attitude! digi - I love her - I added some camping stickers from Stickopotamus!  Too fun!  I used digi paper from Stampin with The Dragon.  He's got the best papers - very manly but yet soft enough for a woman!! (sound like a commercial you know - tee hee!!)  I used some forest paper on the second mat cut from my nesties a little jute and a sentiment - just typed.  Oh - hey - used stickles and puffy paint for the fire!  Remember the challenge is - show us your puffy!!  Oh, and my s'more is flocking - I love my marshmallows burnt that's why I used charcoal gray instead of white flocking.  The darker the better.  Last summer my daughter made me a marshmallow and I shoved it in my mouth not noticing that there was still a burning "ember" on it - it sizzled when it hit my lip!!  Yikes - that hurt - now I check my marshmallows before I shove 'em in my mouth!!  Well....hey - go check out Digi's With Attitude blog for the challenge - http://digiswithattitudechallenges.blogspot.com/  And above all - make it fun!!!

Valentine with Attitude

Alrighty then, let's get a little attitude with that valentine!  I decided to do a box for candy - well, I got a little carried away with the box and did "fit to size on my cricut!  This one can be for one of my kids!   It would be way to much for the kids at school or co-workers!  I used the Tween with Attitude from Digi's With Attitude.  She just keeps coming up with new digis!  It's fantastic.  I cut the box with Tags Bag Boxes and More Cartridge - talk about an oldie but goodie!  Then put in the acetate, tied a box and attached my digi.  I just the love the lips dp!  Thanks for popping in and go check out the challenge at Digi's With Attitude - !  Pink and White or Red and White- I went with Pink and White!!

Shop!

Shop is my motto!  The more the better - looking for bargains - the quest - that's what I'm talking about!!  This makes me think of my sister and I in the bay area shopping or just around the central valley when we do "black friday".  We are serious!!  We love the shop - we love the victory!  Too fun!  Just a simple, yet detailed digi from Digi's With Attitude!  They have the best digis and the best "tweens" with attitude.  We all know those go together - I used my Copics to color my shopper and some DCWV paper and the cuttlebug!  I seem to use that regularly and my beloved Cricut!  I used the Rock Princess Cartridge - they just seem to go with the attitude!  Fun Stuff - check out the rest of the design team at the website - you'll just love 'em - they are so incredibly talented and will give you a little mojo boost!! Then, it'll be your turn - just use a digi with a "person" on a card/layout - whatever!  Have fun!  I'm dying to see what you all submit!!

Green and Black Attitude!

I so loved the clock from Celebrate with Flourish on my Cricut and thought - I'm going to combine it with one of the newer Tween digi's from Digi's with Attitude!  Anyone who has a tweener (and I do) or has had them knows that they love rock and roll and they are Diva's in training (or so they think!)  The digis are awesome at Digi's with Attitude.  Check out their website and see what the talented design team has come up with - it'll inspire you.  It's a digi you just gotta' have!!  Well, check them out and leave a comment about what you think - Thanks for popping in!!  I always appreciate the comments - now check out .....

Rock on!!

I think she rocks out!  I used a MS punch on the bottom for my distressing as stress cracks!  A bit of a stretch but works for me!!  I like her - I used a bunch of my Sakura glitter pen on her but you can't see it - love the embellishments, etc etc.  I think she's fun - and definitely ready for a change from Xmas cards!!
