I used the CAC cricut cartridge for the apples - there are 20 in this little set :) the adorable face is from PKSC-18

Every Path has it's puddle

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe that it's only Tuesday, my week has already been so busy! My oldest had to have his wisdom teeth pulled on Monday so I've been on nurse duty.  What a painful surgery, I had mine pulled when I was in my teens and barely remember it but WOW, he was in a lot of pain :( So I never did get to finish all the cards I started for NSD except for one. Here's what I made for the Pumpkin Spice NSD Lezlye's Challenge- Instant Photo. I think this may be my favorite card that I've made. I just love the combo of MCT & PKS

That adorable ducky stamp is from the PKSC-16 and that puddle is from MCT new release

Hi Everyone!

Just popping in to enter a card in a few challenges.  Peachy Keen Challenge 13-16 :: Anything Goes. So much fun inspiration! I chose to use the new release PKSC -16. This release had a great variety of images and faces.

I stamped the jar on water color paper and then cut it out.  Next I stamped the two butterflies and then colored with a mix of copics and color pencils. Lastly, I added stickles.

I wanted to keep it really simple.  I added a cute sticker I found in my overflowing sticker drawer and there you have it!

Valentine you're DINOmite

Hi Everyone!

Hope all is good! I wanted to share a little card I made for Valentines Day. Peachy Keen Stamps is having a Just card challenge using hearts. I love their challenges, always so FUN! I also incorporated a few other fun challenges as well. I have listed them below. I used mostly scraps for this card. I only had a 2 inch strip of the PP, so I cut the strip in half and bordered the card. The felt heart is from package of hearts probably 5 years old and that ribbon is from last Christmas. Yay getting rid of the old :)

That big polka dot green dino is from Create a critter and the sentiment is printed from two of my favorite fonts - Love Letter & Candy heart.

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!

Hi Everyone!
Whew...what a week! Work, Work, Work... I guess it's a good thing right? My last day is Tuesday and then I have two days off. ohhh I so need it :) Today I had a couple hours to play catch up before our family dinner and I decided to sneak off to my craft room and get my hands dirty. You'll understand once you see my card. 
I hope you have a fantastic week and I will be by to visit very soon to see what all my VERY creative friends have been up to :)

I started with a blue background and distressed the paper. I chalked it and inked it until my fingers were black & blue :) I just hand cut the stone hill and embossed it with a Tim Holtz Brick Embossing Folder and added more ink & Chalk
