Die Cuttin Divas - Favorite Color Combination

Happy Tuesday!!

It's time for another Die Cuttin Divas Challenge. Today's challenge is to use your favorite color combination. Isn't that a great challenge? I LOVE it, but, I'll admit that I wanted to use so many combos because I have so many favorites :) Well I decided on this one...

I LOVE Halloween colors and I really love orange and black. I can't wait for Halloween, this makes me want to start decorating :)

A pocket full of Sunshine

Hi Everyone!

Did you have a nice weekend? I hope you all are getting some warmer weather :) Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Peachy Keen Challenge 13-17 :: Sketch Challenge.  When I first saw this sketch I knew exactly what I wanted to make.  I used the circles as inspiration and used three images instead. The pocket, the sun, & the clouds. Here is what I came up with. 

I used the PKSC-14 for the face on the sun (cac). The pocket is actually a card liner from the Wild Card Cartridge.

Boo! "You've been Booed"

Hi Everyone!
I'm stopping in to share a cute little project. Have you heard of "You've been Booed" well if you have then you know it's a fun little game you play near Halloween. You secretly leave some treats on your neighbors doorstep and leave a little note letting them know they've been booed. It's a FUN game the kids look forward to during the fall. Typically, you pick one or two neighbors and then they pick one or two and so on..... But last year I noticed that a few were missed, so this year I thought I would still do a fun basket or two but I also thought I would make a few more simple treats for some of the older neighbors that love all our kids so much!

 It's a fun little door hanger. I haven't purchased the Art Philosophy cartridge but I did get the idea from the cartridge.

For the Door Hanger I used my gypsy and the Cricut Cartridges Tie the knot, George & Wild Card

The "Boo" is from the Cricut Cartridge Robotz & the ghost is from Mini Monster

 Door Hanger approx. 6" x 3

Paper - DCWV

Stamps - Eyes are from PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment 

& the mouth is from PK-532 PK-532 Simple Sallies 1 1/8"

You're Timeless

Hi Everyone!
Oh my gosh I hope you are getting some nice weather. We are having a beautiful day! Before we head out to start our day (Baseball, swim class & BBQ) I wanted to share a Mothers Day card I made for 2 challenges. I recently purchased 3 packs of My minds eye paper from Scrapalicious, the Lost & Found TWO collection. Oh my goodness is it ever GORGEOUS!!! Some of the paper from this card is from the Sunshine pack.

Hope you have a GREAT day, thanks for stopping by and always leaving such SWEET comments! I have never come across such a fun & supportive group of men & women - THANK YOU!

Do Great in the small things...

Hi Everyone!
Boy am I excited!!! My sweet friend Karen over at Little Scrap Pieces has invited me to be a guest designer on her blog today.  As an extra bonus she let me choose the theme. So I chose a  sky blue theme.(Any soft shade of blue) Spring days bring such beautiful skies!

I have been really wanting to use this beautiful paper pad from my minds eye. I LOVE this cloud paper! I started with a scalloped card from the Wild Card Cartridge and I used Create a Critter for the rainbow but cut off the heart and added clouds also from CAC. I topped the card with Karen's AWESOME ribbon and stamped it with a wonderful sentiment. All the pattern paper is MME and the solid is recollections.


I hope you join us over at Little Scrap Pieces this week and show us you blue projects!


Thank you Karen for inviting me, I really appreciate it and had so much fun creating my rainbow card!

Patches of Pink Design Team Link UP Party

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to My Paper Love and the Patches of Pink Design Team Link UP Party!  This months theme is Spring. Oh my gosh are you ready for Spring… What a beautiful time of year! I think the colors of spring are just fabulous! If you follow my blog then you saw my post on my treat holder you can see it HERE if you missed it. In the post I mention that I made an Easter treat holder, so I'm sharing that with you today.

This little cutie was made using my gypsy (use can see details on the original post) I used the Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge for the Bunny and Peachy Keens stamps for the face.

CHALLENGES

I'm entering my little treat holder in the BBTB2 - Bunny or Chick Challenge & Go Fish Challenge - Create an Easter Project

You Brighten my day

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well.  Busy, busy, busy here and the strangest weather EVER.  We had a (Quick) hail storm last night and today it's probably 70 degrees and sunny! Weird!!
So I found some time to create a cute little treat holder. I've been wanting to create some sort of Easter treat holder that was similar to a basket, and I came up with this. This is super versatile, in fact I've already created one for all of the upcoming Holiday's :) Wait until you see Easter!
Today's project was created for two challenges the first one is the 3D weather challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge & the second is my friend Karen at Little Scrap Pieces - Green Challenge!

Treat holder is approx. 4" tall & the Sun is cut at approx. 2.25"

It's approx. 2" wide. I created the actual holder to have a decorative back which is really cute, but thought adding different images/die cuts for a theme would be perfect for specific occasions. Oh, the possibilities are endless.

This is my holder filled with treats!

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Halloween Treat Box

Hi Everyone!


Wow, the days just zoom by..... our family is just so busy! 
Here is a treat box that I created a while back and just managed to finish this morning.  I am entering this in a few challenges.  I used TBBM for the box and with my gypsy I inserted a circle and then placed the spiderweb inside the circle. I filled it with candy corn and topped it off with some ribbon, a button, and a cute little brad.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

I thought of using this image for this sentiment. These are My Creative Time Stamps which I won from Scrappers Creative Corner. The set is called Just a Little Note to Say and they are fabulous!
