My Pink Stamper's Blog Hop Challenge

Hi Crafters - I'm a little late getting this done but I have been super busy these past couple of days getting errands done and helping my daughter with last minute things for Prom.  She is on the prom committee so we have been cutting lots of stars and student's names with the Cricut for the party favor boxes. 

Robyn's challenge was anything birthday.  I made this cute card for an upcoming birthday from the Wild Card cartridge. 

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzil), Paper (We R Memory Keepers), Ink (CTMH), Stamps (The Stamps of Life), Stickles (Ranger), Cuttle Bug, Divine Swirls Embossing Folder, Cricut, Wild Card Cartridge (Provo Craft).

Where has the time gone???

Wow - February is just zipping by and I have been super busy with lots of things changing.  I feel like I have left all my new followers out on a limb but I am going to have a little more time for crafting and I even have a project by my daughter to share when she finishes up later.

Today's card is all stamping and no Cricut.  I am just as shocked as you.  ;)  I forgot how much fun stamping can be!

Supplies: Cardstock, Pattern Paper, Stamps, Ink, Ric Rack, Brad (CTMH)

Hoppy Birthday Card...

Today's card is another cut from Create-a-Critter.  I'm thinking this would make a great little boy birthday card.  I used the Storybook cartridge for the top note shape in the background.

Supplies: Cardstock (American Crafts & CTMH), Gel Pen (Signo), Stickles (Ranger), Ink (CTMH), Cricut with Storybook and Create a Critter (Provo Craft), Stamp (My Pink Stamper).

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!  I love you and miss you so much.

Hello to all my blog readers.  Is everyone getting ready for the Thanksgiving Holiday?  This was always my mom's favorite holiday.  Just a time for family with the bonus of a really good meal.  :)

This card is in honor of my mom's birthday today.  Enjoy!

Supplies: CS: Stampin Up & American Crafts, Pattern Paper: DCWV, Stamp: My Pink Stamper, Ink: CTMH, Cricut Create a Critter Cartridge, Boarder Punch: Stampin Up.

Happy Birthday Day Dad

Ok - so this post is a little after your birthday but I didn't want to display your card early.   ;)

This little birthday card is made using cardstock from American Crafts and I used my new favorite cartridge, Celebrate with Flourish.  I also used my long time favorite Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder.  The envelope is one from a pack I bought at office max and I embossed the envelope flap.

Supplies: CS: American Crafts, Envelope: Ascend from Office Max, Swiss Dots embossing folder, Cricut and Celebrate with Flourish Cartridge.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Okay - so my goal of posting once a week just kind of flew right out of the window this month. It seems like we have been on the go since the beginning of the month and I am just now getting a break. What have we been up to? Well first we enjoyed a week away from home. Just us in a cabin out in the woods - no internet or cable tv. (Good news-it allowed me some time to make a few cards.) Next, after 5 months of looking for work I am happy to say I am back in the world of employment. I have been at my new job for two weeks and I love it. Also, my daughter started 11th grade and just had her birthday. So needless to say it has been a BUSY month for us around here.

This is the card I gave to my daughter for her birthday.  She loved the pink glitter frosting on the cupcake.

Supplies:
Stamps-The Stamps of Life
Ink, Cardstock & Adhesive Foam Squares-Close to My Heart
Blue Stripe paper & pink glitter paper-DCWV
Multi Stripe paper-MME

I promise not to wait so long for the next post.

Comments are welcomed.  :)

Is it hot enough for you?

Boy oh boy, it is so hot here in the mid west right now. Heat index was 110 today and with the humidity it is pretty miserable to spend any amount of time outside. That being said my teenager took over my craft supplies and made a couple of things. I think they turned out really cute.

First is a card she made. It is a standard size card and she went to town on the stickles. She loves glitter! :)

Supplies: Paper-DCWV Sweet Treats, Cardstock-American Crafts, Stickles-Ranger, Cricut, Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge, Doodlecharms cartridge.

Her next project is a mini composition book she covered to write assignments in at school.

Supplies: Paper-DCWV Sweet Treats, Cardstock-American Crafts, Stickles-Ranger, Cricut, Hello Kitty Font cartridge, Doodlecharms cartridge.

Eat Cake & Celebrate!

Hi everyone,

I had a really relaxing Sunday afternoon at the park. My little cousin turned 2. Thanks to some thunderstorms this morning it was pretty cool & breezy at the park making it a perfect afternoon outdoors. While I forgot to take a pick of his actual card I did have a pic of one I made a couple of weeks ago. I could make birthday cards all day long if my schedule permitted. I also happen to think cupcakes are just the cutest thing to add to them. Don't forget to add a little stamped image to your envelopes. I think it adds a nice touch.


Supplies: All CTMH except stamps from Oriental Trading, Stickles and Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I'd love to hear from any readers so be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think. ;)
