Shake Those TaTa's - Its Mardi Gras Time!!!!


Welcome to Shake Those TaTa's - Its Mardi Gras Time!!!! Fat Tuesday!!!!!We had such a great parade last year and thought we need to do it again! Let's throw some beads off the floats, get our masks on and party like we've never partied before.

We have a great group of party animals to showcase their floats and toss some beads. Be sure to give everyone some bloggie love as there will be some blog candy along the way!

Lynne has some goodies in her stash that one lucky winner will receive if they remark at each stop along the way . . . .

I Love these pictures of my grand kids wearing masks my daughter picked up on a trip to New Orleans last year so I decide to create a digital layout with them. Aren't they beautiful I also added the picture my gorgeous daughter partying in New Orleans,



I used My Memories Software for the project and the papers and embellishments are from a digital set called "Mardi Gras Collection Mini" I purchased from Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking "
I am your last stop along the parade route, I hope you enjoyed all the wonderful treats and bangles along the parade route. We certainly enjoyed creating them for you.
Till we meet again Have a great day

  • Rick St. Dennis has some fabulous digi's and he is offering three of these to one lucky winner. You can fine him at http://rickstdennis.blogspot.nl/ and he asks that you become a follower. 



Here's my project which I hope you enjoy
It's a TEA Party so I am providing a little tea in it's own cute little holder. I saw this idea quite a while ago and have been dying to make one. I love how it turned out.


The patterned paper and embellishments are from a digital file I got from Design House Digital called "Time for Tea" by Sara Schmutz. the plain card stock is from Michael's Recollection called "Preppy Beach"I used the pattern and overall design from a tutorial at Stamp ARTic. The back panel , the base and scalloped circle were cut on my cricut using Elegant Edges for the back piece, cricut Alphabet for the scalloped circle and Bloom for the base the ribbon is from my stash.

Now we can't have a Birthday party without a card so I created a matching card.



The papers are all from the same sources I cut the stacking tea cups at about 3 inches from the Disney Classic cartridge. Printed the sentiment using the Alice in Wonderland font I found on the net.

Happy Birthday Lynne Hope you like your tea holder and card. Big Hugs My friend!!


Thank you for stopping and enjoying a cup of tea and perhaps crumpets with me! Your next stop along the party hop is Jearise or just follow the March Hare and don't be late for a very important date!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you're enjoying our "MAD TEA PARTY"
