Give Thanks!

Hi Everyone!
I sure hope you are all enjoying your day! It's a three day weekend for us so we have been relaxing from our crazy busy weekend. My son's soccer team made it to the beach cup finals so we had 3 games (yes three) this weekend. We are in 2nd place so it's been super fun but I have to say I was looking forward to having a little time off before we start basketball. Oh well:) 

I had just a enough time today to put together a Thanksgiving card for a few challenges. Have a GREAT day everyone!

Carrot Box and Bunny!

Hi Everyone!

I have been trying to come up with an idea for gift bags/boxes for Easter, and then I saw a great idea on the Chic n Scratch website. Well I did not have any of the products or machines needed so I went to my gypsy and created my own petal cone box. It was pretty easy! You need the George Cart and that's about it. You can look at the shape of hers and see that it is merely a triangle and circle welded together (kind of like an ice cream cone).  Next I cut a bunny from the doodlecharms cart, but first I welded the bunny ears to the egg shape. The rest of the shapes(circles and ovals) were from the George Cart. too. I added some stickles to the ears and feet, PKS for the face, yellow ribbon around the bunny ear and paper crimped the whiskers and carrot top. Lastly, I added a scalloped circle to the top of the box and wrapped it with twine to hold tightly. I plan to enter a few challenges with my carrot box. Hope you enjoy!

Challenges:

Creative Sisters Monday Challenge - Make something with a  bunny.

Cricut Cardz Challenge - Create something for Easter.

Jens Craft Corner - Make anything that fits with the bunny theme.

Creative Cutter Room - Make something using the 4 elements of the blog hop.

Paper Cutz Challenge - Make a card, LO or craft project using a hand stamped, digital stamped or Cricut cut image of a bunny, lamb, chick or Easter eggs.

 

Wish

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone is well! We have such a busy weekend planned, lots of baseball and our last basketball game. Well I wanted to post a card I made for two challenges.  I made a "Tall" card.  I used gypsy wanderings for the butterfly and added some pretty jewels.  I heat embossed "Wish" added some brown & white polka dot ribbon and a little button. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. ENJOY!

Cup of Laughter

Hi Everyone!

I have been in my craft room all morning.  It's a rainy day here, so it's been nice to be inside.  I saw that Cricut Cardz is having a "cup of cheer" challenge.  There are so many cute cup cuts.  I chose the cup from the Stamping cartridge. I used my gypsy because I wanted to hide the scroll work inside of the cup, but I couldn't, so I used the shadow feature. I outlined the cups in pink and used PKS for the faces.  I also used the Wild Card cartridge for the card base. The inside of the card says May your cup overflow with Laughter. Hope you like it.

Fore YOU! Valentines Golf Card

Hi Everyone!

Here is a Valentine card for the Golf lover! I used the sports mania cartridge for the golf ball and TBBM cartridge for the tag and printed Fore YOU from my computer.

I received my first Peachy Keen Stamp set and can you say "peachy heaven"!  I love these stamps! I finished the card off with ribbon and a cute button.

I will enter it in the Cricut Cardz Challenge their challenge is to make a Valentine's card using any cartridges, and the colors blue, green and white ONLY.
