a dino party (Neat and Tangled Throwdown challenge)

Hi there!

For the last several years Neat and Tangled has hosted a bi-weekly and then monthly challenge called Little Tangles.  Although they elected to discontinue that this year, they still wanted to host periodic challenges because we love to see what you guys create using Neat & Tangled.

These quarterly challenges will be be more complex and bigger, and by bigger we are also referring to the prizes!

Our first challenge is a Party Ensemble challenge, and I've created some fun decorations for your next dinosaur party:

I used the images from Prehistoric to create the party ensemble. I have to admit that this is still one of my favorite sets!

The little boy riding his dino would be perfect for a little boy's birthday party or a boy's baby shower. I colored all of the dinosaurs a fun blue and cut cupcake wrappers to match.




There is candy inside these fabric favor bags, and I used the tiniest dinosaur on a flag die-cut (from Classic Tag 2) to add that pop of blue that was being carried throughout the decor.

The mammoths are definitely not blue (but so cute!) so I added striped straws, and the tiny dinosaur again on the drink bottle labels.




Before adhering the mammoth and his dino buddy, I took a navy copic marker's highlighter edge and drew a stripe at the bottom of each wrap-around-label.

Last, but not least, I created a table sign using the new Square and Chevrons cover-plate. I love this die! I opted to cut it out of a blue cardstock, and then used different blue markers to color the different pieces before putting them all back together. The "RAWR" - cut using the journaling alphas - stood out in their bright white.

I hope you like it!

Head over to the NT blog to link up your own party decorations using NT products and you could win big! What is the prize you ask?

The winner will receive the entire May Neat & Tangled release and will be invited to take part in May release week!

That is huge! I can't wait to see what you create!

Neat and Tangled release day projects

Hi there!

It's Neat and Tangled release day! You can find all of the new products in the store right now: CLICK.

I have a few more projects to share with you.

Using the sprigs found in Magical Day, I created these monogrammed drink bottles for Maia's unicorn party tomorrow:

I also used them to flank the sweet mouse from Into the Woods:

The tree stump is from Lumberjack Love and the sentiment is from Big Top Birthday.

I also have one last dinosaur card to show you - I am really have fun with Prehistoric!

I love that little dinosaur sliding down the mama's tail!



Thanks for stopping by, and happy shopping in the NT store!

Prehistoric (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of this month's Neat and Tangled release week. All new products will be available for purchase in the NT store as of 8am EST this Friday!

I'm thrilled to introduce you to my full-sized set for the month, Prehistoric.  I included a cave couple and a wooly mammoth for extra fun:

I had so much fun creating this set, and playing with it to make samples!

My first card shows the dinosaurs together. I love the mommy and baby looking at each other for the first time! and the other little dino (who is meant to slide off the mommy's tail) looks so cute tucked into the scene.



I love the hatchling dinosaur!

My next card shows off the little cave boy and his friend mammoth:

He can sit on the mammoth, or the other dinosaur, or a tree stump (there's on in the Lumberjack Love set that would be perfect!)



I die-cut a trio of minty green hills (dies are by Lawn Fawn) and did some yellow ink-blending coming up from behind.

Let me know what you think of Prehistoric! You could win a 25$ gift card to the Neat and Tangled store. Then, click over to the NT blog for more Prehistoric inspiration, and leave a comment there for a chance to win your own Prehistoric set.
