Beary Sweet

Hi Everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed your day! We had soccer and basketball games and now we are all getting ready to watch a movie by the fire - can't wait. It's one of my most favorite things about the winter!
I quickly wanted to share the card I made for the Peachy Keen Challenge. This week it's a sketch challenge. The DT has been so inspiring with the new release I really wanted to use a teddy bear.  I created one using my gyspy and the CAC bear and just added some circles from the George cartridge for the bears feet. Welded everything together and I came up with this. I wanted to use some non traditional colors for Valentines day. 

The hearts are from Plantin cartridge

 Card - 5.5" x 4.25"

Paper - My Minds Eye

Stamp - PKS - 440 Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment

Ribbon - I won over at Exploring Cricut (Thanks Diane - it's fabulous)

Sentiment - My creative Time sets (Mixed holiday & Just a note)

Hope you ALL have a GREAT evening and wonderful Sunday!

Hi Everyone!
Hope everyone is doing well. How's your Mojo? Mine has kicked into overdrive:) You are ALL so inspiring! Here is a card I made for a couple of challenges. Peachy Keen Connection is having a January challenge. The challenge is to use something "New" so I used my new stamps from My Creative Time. Also, 3 girl jam is having an "Anything goes" challenge. Here is what I came up with for both challenges.

This little crab is from the CAC cartridge. His sweet little face is from PK-754 Critter Faces SET A Medium

That great big heart he's holding is from the Plantin cartridge and the sentiment is from the MCT small talk set.

I added loads of dimension to this card and lots of pink and red :)

Ring in the New Year Blog Hop

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to the Ring in the New Year Blog Hop created by the SUPER sweet Jill from Everyday is an Occasion.  Thanks for having me Jill!

If you popped over for a visit then you’re in luck we are celebrating the New Year with a hop! If you would like to join you can begin at Holly’s over at Ribbon's and Glue.

If you have been following along you should have come from Holly's at Ribbon's and Glue.

The idea behind this blog hop is to use something "new". My sweet Hubby purchased some goodies for me from My Creative Time and I was so excited to use them.  I come from a HUGE Italian family and every Holiday revolves around the BEST Italian food, except one J New Years Day. My Aunt who happens to be Japanese cooks up a New Years feast of Sushi, mochi, seaweed and so many other items. So I thought I would bring a little gift for all of us to use.

I wanted something simple since I needed 30.

I used MCT curly label & stitched die & stamp from the MCT small talk set.

I also made some fun cards for the gifts using the MCT small talk set

The Martini cut is from the Jubilee Cricut Cartridge & the silver glitter was in my stocking - thanks Santa :)

In honor of the New Year and a fun Hop I would like to giveaway a $15.00 Micheals Gift card so you can purchase a little something new:) Just leave a comment and be a follower of my blog :)
