Thank You BERRY Much

Hi Everyone!


Hope everyone is doing well! I wanted to make a thank you card for my son's 1st grade room mom.  She does so much for our class and thought I would give her this card from the parent volunteers to show how much we appreciate her!
Of course I kept a couple challenges in mind.


TWO SCRAPTASTIC GALS - Use the Paisley Cartridge
CARD CREATIONS & MORE BY C - Anything that sparkles

Enjoy the Journey

Hi Everyone!

Today is just a GORGEOUS day. Still chilly but the sun is shining! My youngest has baseball pictures today and then we are going to breakfast! It should be a fabulous day!
After viewing all of your blogs and seeing so many AWESOME projects one thing I've learned is that there are SOOO many challenges.  I have come across two new ones that I would like to enter.
PAPER CUTZ - Challenge #80 Make a project for spring using any colors.
FROSTED DESIGNS - Use metal on your project

I made this card using the kite from the Create a Critter cartridge and I just love how it came out. I layered the kite and added pop dots in between the layers.  I added the metal piece "enjoy the journey" and some fibers. I also clear embossed the kite string. Super simple, just the way I like it! I hope you all have a great day!

Eat Cake

Hi Everyone!

Wow it's cold here! I'm staying inside today! Wow so many fun challenges lately.  I made a card that I will enter in three this week. It's a shaped card from the Sweet Treats cartridge. I ran it through the cuttlebug(swiss dots), stamped "eat cake", added a pretty little swirl from the Wild Card cartridge.  Of course stickles and my trusty white gel pen finish off the card.  One more thing, I tried inking the embossed dots on the card and I smeared it just a little. I still hope you like it!

Challenges:
COOKING WITH CRICUT - Swirls and Twirls
JITTERBUGGIN - Get in shape (Shaped Cards)
CELEBRATE THE OCCASION - "Anything Goes Birthday"

It's a great day today! A little cold but the sun is shining. My Mom and I are working on my sisters baby shower invites, can't wait to show you all what we came up with!!!

Two Peas in a Pod

Hi Everyone!

I made a card the other day and thought I would do some sewing!  To tell you the truth the sewing machine and I are just not the friends we should be. I love the look of a stitched card but getting everything to line up is just a little frustrating! 

I happened to see on Lisa's blog (prettypaperprettyribbons) a challenge for projects with any type of stitching. The "Sew much Fun challenge is at The Paper Variety.

So I made my card using the New Arrival cartridge added some buttons, stitching around the card, three little buttons and a little white gel pen. Hope you enjoy! 

Coffee on me

Hi Everyone!

I Love coffee and so do my girlfriends.  I love nothing more than to take a walk by the beach with my hubby or friends and sip a cup of coffee.  Here is a card I came up with to give to a girlfriend on our next coffee run.  Just slip a gift card inside and voila, instant smile on her face!

I am entering this card in:

FANTABULOUS CRICUT Emboss it challenge &
CREATIVE SISTERS CHALLENGE embossing.
