Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to pop in and post my card for the Peachy keen stamps challenge this week "Anything Goes". I combined a few other fun challenges as well. My Creative Time Designers Challenge - Emboss, Cuttin and Stampin Challenge - Use an Animal. 

I always need a thank you card so I thought I would take a little break from Valentine's day cards/projects to create this card. At the moment, my craft room is filled with so much pink and red that I kind of needed a break :)

The Ewe is cut from Cricut Cartridge PDDU, those fun clouds are My Creative Time

Paper - My Minds Eye & Recollections

Face Stamp - PK-460 Happy Lashes Face Assortment

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to quickly pop in and post the card I made for the Peachy Keen Challenge 13-5 :: Photo Inspiration I'm really trying to play each week but wow, the week sure goes by so quick :( So this was the photo inspiration - pretty right?

Here is what came to mind.

I didn't have any cupid cuts so I used the PDDU cartridge and just modified a few things.

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all doing well. I know it's only Tuesday but I feel like it should be Friday already. Yesterday was so busy I didn't get things done last night until very late, our Mondays are always so busy!!
However, today was a little better, I didn't go for my walk this morning but ran some much needed errands.
I have a few minutes before my hubby and I grab some lunch so I wanted to post a card I made for a few challenges.

Hi Everyone!
Hope your week is going well. We took a day off this week and went down south to San Diego to visit my family.  We had a nice visit and my niece is just growing so fast she's already 9 months. She is so precious!
So if you remember last month I made a desk calendar you can see that post HERE. I made it by using an easel card as the base for the calendar and I really liked it so I decided to make one for every month. So this is my card/calendar for March, of course I had to use a St. Patrick's day theme and of course I'm entering it in many challenges as most of them this week are St. Patrick's Day themed or use green - well I definitely used BOTH :)

Both of these adorable cuts came from the paper doll dress up cricut cartridge.

Hi Everyone!

On Saturday we went to a family party and my boys went to Halloween parties. whew... we need a rest.

Hi Everyone!


Hope your weekend was great! We had a B-day party and my Mom was here so not too much time to create but I did manage to finish this card that I started last week.  I still have about 3 more projects to finish. My little one started flag football and will have practice Tue & Thurs. My oldest will begin winter ball so my weeks are filling up. I will return to work Oct. 21st so I'm trying to create and then I can schedule posts when I can't find time to craft.
I created this card for two challenges this week. My Craft Spot - Too cute to Spook & Paper Cutz Challenge - Shake, Rattle, & Roll - A Cricut cut image of a skeleton or skull & crossbones, BUT make it CUTE and NOT SPOOKY!


So here is my card! I distressed the edges by lightly wetting the cardstock (just the edges) and then running my scissors along the edge. I then inked the edges with Tim Holtz vintage photo ink. Lastly I add stickles to the sign and some of the images on the background paper.

Love is in the Air - April Showers

Hi Everyone!

So many great challenges this week! I decided to participate in a few. My card looks simple but I had to piece it together because I didn't have a rain jacket on any of my cartridges.  I used the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge for the jacket.  I used the George cart. and created the cuffs, collar, pocket, and buttons with shapes using my gypsy. The umbrella & puddle are from Create a Critter and the splash drops are from Indie Art. The paper is K&Co & recollections.  The sentiment is a Studio G stamp and face is PKS. I used glossy accent on the jacket and final touches with my white gel pen. 

Whew..... Hope you enjoy.

Here are the challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut - April Showers - create a project using an umbrella or hat.

The Paper Variety - April Showers bring May Flowers

Get Inspired with Chatterscene - April Showers - Go visit Chris she offers some great inspiration and has some great giveaway.
