Sweet Thoughts of you today!

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would enter a few challenges. First on the list is the challenge over at My Creative Time ~ Throwback Thursday. Here are the details for this challenge: This challenge is to use an older cartridge with a "Card Feature" on it! ***Your card MUST BE A HALLOWEEN THEME!!! 

Second, is the Paper Playtime Say it with Sentiments Challenge. For this challenge you can create any type of project you would like as long as you include a SENTIMENT and our theme for this challenge is to use BUTTONS & BOWS!

Last but not least is Cher's Studio ~ This to that challenge For this challenge you must use twine anywhere on your project.

I used Wild card and Mini Monsters. I also used MCT stamps and as soon as I saw this sentiment I knew what I wanted to create. The twine is fancy floss bakers twine.

Hi Everyone!


Just wanted to show a card I made for the Scrappy Moms Stamps Challenge.  The challenge is a color challenge Teal & Brown. This card was simple and quick. I cut a strip of the flower paper and a strip of the vanilla adhered to top and bottom of card. I heat embossed the sentiment added glitter pen to the top of the acorn and ran the bottom through the cuttlebug.  Hope you all have a great day and I have two more projects to share this week.  Stop back by on Thursday and check out my Home Decor project!

Halloween Treat Box

Hi Everyone!


Wow, the days just zoom by..... our family is just so busy! 
Here is a treat box that I created a while back and just managed to finish this morning.  I am entering this in a few challenges.  I used TBBM for the box and with my gypsy I inserted a circle and then placed the spiderweb inside the circle. I filled it with candy corn and topped it off with some ribbon, a button, and a cute little brad.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Ornament Cards - Cards by Jovan Challenge

Hi Everyone!


Jovan over at Cards by Jovan is having a fun challenge. The challenge is to create a 3x3 card. Stop by her blog and check out her Craft Room, it so pretty! So now for my cards.  I thought 3x3 cards were the perfect size cards for the outside of Christmas gifts. These were fairly simple and pretty quick, I even made matching envelopes.

Hi Everyone!


Hope your week was great! We had our first flag football game, boy was it fun!
I have a card that I created for a family friend that's having a baby girl.  She's was due Friday so anytime now! I saw a couple challenges this week for babies so I kept them in mind when creating this card. Cricut 360 is having a welcome Baby challenge using dry embossing.  I tried out something new (for me). I cut out the carriage shape and used glitter glue and let it dry, then I used an embossing folder and ran it through the cuttlebug.  Next My Time to Craft is having a nursery necessities challenge. For this week's challenge just have something to do with Babies on your card. Here is the card!

Hi Everyone!


Here is a card I made for the My Creative Time~Throwback Thursday Challenge.  This challenge is to use a "FONT" cartridge, not a regular one, but a "FONT" cart! I used the Jubilee cartridge. I saw the Holly and thought oh Hollydays. So anyway I added some fun little details and voila, completed Holiday card!

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.
