Sweet Thoughts of you today!

Oh my gosh, where is the time going... Hi Everyone! I have missed my little bloggy world.  I have been helping out a friend and  watching her two little girls (18 mos & 3) it's been FUN but lots of work. I also traveled to Ohio to see my cousin graduate from medical school. What an amazing women she has become , I am SO VERY proud of her!
I feel so sad that I have missed out on so many fun things this past week. So forgive me and I will be catching up this week :)
Here is a quick (and I mean quick) card I made for two of my favorite challenges.

Mother's Day Gable Box

Hi Everyone!
Hope you had a fantastic weekend, ours was fabulous! I wanted to share a gable box I made for Mothers Day.  I found a pack of 3 gable boxes at Target in the dollar bins, super good quality for $1.  I made this for a friend of mine that is coming by tomorrow and I just wanted to give her a little something. I put a few baked goods and a gift card inside.

The one thing I wanted to share on this was the bow.... I have lots of satin ribbon which I love!! but sometimes I feel like it looks plain, so I tried stamping on it and it came out great! I used MS ink and a hero arts polka dot stamp.

Hi Everyone!

Pumpkin Spice Challenge - NSD Celebration!

Hi Everyone!
I saw the Pumpkin Spice Challenge thank to Jessica :) and just had to play! I have wanted to try these candles out on a card. I have made these candles forever for my scrapbooks ...this is the stuff we did before cricut, cameo, etc... came out :) I saw a couple ideas on the web and thought I'm going for it.
So here is my card for the challenge.

It's just rolled paper with twine in the middle, the possibilities are endless. 

So back to the challenge, make a card...check. Something blue...check. Something round...check, check, check, check,etc....

And last, 3 layers or 3 different papers - mine is obvious!

All of the patterned paper is Authentique that I won from my bloggy buddy Diana who happens to be a DT member for pumpkin spice! Thank you Diana, I'm putting it to good use :)

Hope you come by and join in the FUN! 

Happy Mother's Day

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all enjoying the weekend! I wanted to post a Mother's Day card I made this week. I have one more Mother's day project to post and I think I'm actually ready for the day. That never happens I'm always making a last minute "something" on the day :) 
So I mentioned that I purchased a few packs of My minds eye paper. The pack I used for my project is called rosy...LOVE IT! I loved it so much that I wanted the paper to be the center. The background paper is 7 gypsies and pairs so well with MME. I inked the "note" paper with Tim Holtz ink and distressed the edges.

I cut the flower using the Cricut Cartridge - Sweet Treats

The leaves were cut and ran through the cuttlebug using distressed stiped.

Recycled Project

Hi Everyone!
I have a fun project to share today. I saw a few blogs challenging us to recycle. So I thought...OK sounds FUN!
First I grabbed something to recycle hmmm... got it, a peanut can that was ALMOST empty. My hubby got the rest in a snack bag for the day :)

So next I decided what I wanted to use the can for hmmm....craft room, kitchen, got it... the garage. Sounds weird I know but we come into our house through our garage so we (try to) hang our keys on hooks before we walk in but it's so full of spare keys and keys that aren't used everyday and just becomes a mess. So I made this cute little container to put on a shelf to hold all of the spare keys. Now I just need to hang the shelf :) 

The paper is from Core'dinations & Colorbok

The little house cut is from the Jubilee Cricut Cartridge. I welded them together using my gypsy

The flower is from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge largest flower starting at 2.85 & smallest at .85
