Die Cuttin Divas "Color" Challenge - Pastels

Hi Everyone!
Happy Tuesday! I'ts time for another Die Cuttin Divas Challenge. Today's theme is a color challenge - Pastels. So get ready to show us your pastels.... Easter, baby, girly, Mothers day projects are all perfect for this theme. Just use a die cut and let us know which one you used. So I'm going to be honest.... I made this a long time ago and I wish I wrote down the details but I didn't. 

I think I used the Cricut Cartridge Doodlecharms and cut the basket.  I do know that I used a weaving method for the actual basket. Just the basic over/under method. 

 I added some fun Easter eggs that my little boy decorated.  We actually cut about 40 eggs because we were going to create a tiny banner for the Easter table but never finished it :( SO I just used some of the eggs for this project.

I recently pruchased a bunch of new goodies from Peachy Keen Stamps one of which was the new face stamps called kawaii face assortment pk1370 ohhhhh they are so CUTE! So I had to put them to work:)

I figured a sun is the perfect image for the new Craftin Desert Diva's Summer lovin Set

Summer Lovin'

I really wanted that sun and sentiment to stand out so I left this really clean and simple. So you see those yellow/orange dots.... I made them by melting perler beads in the oven.  I was on facebook one evening and Raven of love 4 stamps posted that she made some and so I wanted to try. Very easy and super CUTE!

Hi Everyone!

I've been so busy and wanting to get a few projects done, but time just zooms by. I finally decorated my house (so late this year) and when we finished my son said it's just too cute - we really need some spooky things Mom. He's eight so the smiling bats and glitter pumpkins are just not cuttin it :) 
Boy am I ready for some Fall weather! I was feeling in the mood for Fall today so I created a card for a few challenges. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday it's a fun one. I sure hope you all have a SUPER day, thanks for stopping by!

I followed the sketch and didn't change much - it was a really cool sketch and will use it again.

Peter Cottontail is on his way...

Hi Everyone!
I'm sharing another Easter card I designed in my Gypsy. I found a really cool cut on the wrap it up cartridge. It's the fence cut under the tag feature cut at 3.67 H x 3.61 W. I used it as a frame for my little cottontail. The Bunny is from just because cards cut at 5.61 H. 
The eggs are from doodlecharms cut at 3.22 H. I popped up the fence with two thicknesses of foam tape so the bunny can sit behind the fence. Then I only used one thickness of foam tape for the bunny.

I'm entering this in a few challenges:
Fantabulous Cricut - #105 Egg-ceptional Easter Make a project with an egg on it.
Cardz TV - Make a card for any occasion using a frame from any cartridge and using any colors you’d like.
My Creative Time - Use any cartridge (preferrably an older one) & create ANY project of "YOUR" choice

I loved his fluffy tail coming through the fence:) & Emma's stamps were PERFECT for my little card.

Friends stick together

Hi Everyone!
Our family sure had a tough week. Last Saturday we lost a very special man in our lives, my best friends father.  My BF and I have been friends since we were little girls. I've known the family for almost 30 years. He was so full of life and such a wonderful Dad. My family will miss him terribly but we are resting easy knowing he is with his wife (or as he called her his bride) now and no longer missing her.
SO with that, I have some catching up to do....Blog and home. I know I missed some awesome things over the week and I really have been wanting to say thank you to my sweet girls that gave me the Versatile Blogger award.

Jessica - Chick n Scrap

Sherrie - Sherrie Scraps with Passion

Amy - Redheaded Crafter

These girls are my daily inspiration and if you need a creative boost, click on the links and create away!

Jessica, Sherrie, Amy, THANK YOU so much I feel so honored that you recognized me :)

I started creating this card before last week and I finished it today. I really wanted to make something fun, springy & simple as I only had a little time. So here's my version of of a Peeps card.

The peeps were created using my gypsy and the doodlecharms cartridge. I  used the bunny face cut and a circle. I welded the circle to the bunny head and voila - PEEPS I hope you get the sentiment. Peeps are sticky..... get it :) You know something Peeps aren't very good, but my BF loves them and I bought her some and I'm giving her this card. I know she'll smile. We have a silly sense of humor.  I've been with her this last week just supporting and taking care of her. That's what friends do...they stick together!!!

Hello Everyone,

It's time for Patches of Pink Design Team Post and link up party.  The designers were asked to use a Thanksgiving theme for our projects.  So for my project I chose to make place cards for our Thanksgiving table.  I know... I already made some pumpkin place cards but my Aunt really liked them and I gave them to her. So I needed to make another set. I came up with these fun little cards. Please stop over to Patches of pink and see what the design team has created, I'm sure they are fabulous! Also, don't forget to link up your project and share your creation with us.

These cards are 2" x 3.5" 

The pilgrim girl was cut from the Cricut Cartridge PDDU and stamped with Peachy Keen Stamps PK-754. Mom was cut from the Jubilee Cartridge.

The pilgrim boy was cut from the Cricut Cartridge PDDU and stamped with Peachy Keen Stamps PK-754. Dad was cut from the Jubilee Cartridge.

 

The acorn was cut from the Cricut Cartridge Create a Critter and Anthony was cut from the Jubilee Cartridge.
