So I was really craving chocolate cake and starting looking through the internet and I found this yummy looking piece of cake. So I decided since I didn't have time to go out and purchase all the ingredients and then bake it, I would use it for inspiration for making a birthday card!

Let it Snow!

Hi Everyone!

Well I thought I would make one last Holiday card.  I actually made a ton of these wreaths and used them for decoration on Christmas gifts. When I stopped to figure it out I think I cut over 800 of these branches.  I searched and searched for the MS branch punch and everyone said it was being discontinued.  Then a friend of mine at Joanns (it's good to make friends in the store:) told me they were on order and to place my name on the to be notified list online. Well it turned out I did get notified and ordered it and received it the week before Christmas. Yay, I LOVE it! 

There are some really inspiring challenges, so I just had to participate in a few.

Go Fish Challenge - White on White

Little Scrap Pieces - Winter

The Cuttlebug Spot - Winter Time use texture (my texture is embossed paper and the branch punch)

Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone!


I have another quick and cute Christmas card to show you all today. I used the Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge to cut the poinsettia and curled the edges just a bit. I'm a bit crazy for these ribbons at the moment, they are just so easy to make and look so pretty. This is definitely a card you could make many of for the Holiday's, it's pretty simple.  I am entering it in Karen's Challenge - Copy Cat Friday, the theme this week is Holiday.  Also entering it in Frosted Designs - Use a die cut & Reasonable Ribbon CAS Christmas and Ribbon.

Card - 4.25" x 5.5"

Cartridge - Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge

Paper - Poptone and DCWV

Dry Embossed - Cuttlebug seeing spots

Glitter glue

Sentiment - Stampin UP

Summer Days

Hi Everyone!

Wow, what a week!  We have been so busy, summer is definitely here. Our holiday was a blast, every 4th of July we spend the day at the beach. We live close so we run home after a VERY sandy day and clean up and come back down for the fireworks show.  One of our favorite parts of the day is sunset when all of the sailboats are sailing and the sun begins to disappear it's just too beautiful for words! Well I guess I had that image on my brain when I came up with this card.... Although, Not even close to our beautiful scene on the 4th. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Birthday Day 3 - Masculine Cards

Hi Everyone,

Here is my third masculine card for the week. I realized that masculine cards are better kept simple. So I used 2- 1.25" circles and 1-1.50" I wrapped the middle circle with twine and really like the look of that.  The sentiment is from my computer. This cards works great for the challenge over at

REALLY REASONABLE RIBBON  - One of the Boys theme. 

Please check back tomorrow night I have another cute "manly" card to share.

Hope you enjoy! 

Turtle Birthday Wishes

Hi Everyone!

It's been busy around here! I am redoing my craft room.  So fun! I just got some jet max cubes and tomorrow we are going to get a desk top for them.  A lot of cleaning and reorganizing!  I did manage to make a cute little card. I was hoping to make a few more today, but time just did not permit.  I had really been wanting to make a turtle card with this new paper pack I got a while back.  I pulled out Create a critter, my gypsy, and my peachy keen stamps and here's what I came up with.  There are quite a few challenges that I can enter this little cutie in.

MORE THAN FAVORS WACKY WEDNESDAY - Zoo Theme
THE PAPER VARIETY - Color challenge - 50% Green
CRAZY FOR CRICUT - Any type of card as long as you use your cricut
