Challenges...

Hi Everyone - 

Today's card I am sharing was inspired by two challenges.  The first challenge was posted on the Cricut Cardz Challenge blog.  It was to use a heart on a thank you card with no pink or red.  The second challenge was with the Pinkalicious blog hop at My Pink Stamper.  It was to show your style making your favorite thing.  My style is glitter, cricut, boarder punches and I love to make cards.

Supplies:  Cardstock (DCWV & The Paper Co.), Stamp (My Pink Stamper), Cricut & DoodleCharms Cartridge (Provo Craft), Liquid Pearls (Ranger), Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Ink (CTMH), Boarder Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts), Corner Punch (We R Memory Keepers).

I am having fun checking out everyone's creations for these challenges.  

Have a Great Day!

Happy Easter Weekend

Hi Everyone - 

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend.  I wanted to share with you today some quick Easter treats I made yesterday.  The photos are not the best since I took them with my phone but you get the idea.

The first two photos are of a gift card I made with Wild Card.  The card is cut at 7" and the insert was made with Microsoft Word clip art.  My daughter is a huge Kindle fan so I thought this would be fitting.

Next are a few treat bags I made for the kids.  I just put these together real quick with the bunny from Create a Critter and the egg from Doodlecharms.

Supplies: Cardstock (American Crafts & Bazzil), Ink (CTMH), Clear Bags (Stampin Up!), Tiny Attacher (Tim Holtz), Stamp (My Pink Stamper-Happiest Moments), Cricut, Create a Critter, Wild Card, Doodlecharms (Provo Craft).

Hope you enjoyed and have a Happy Easter!

You've Got Mail...

That's what I calling this card.  I am not sure I am crazy about my color selections on this one but I love the cricut cut.  I don't know maybe I will try it again with different colors?  Oh and I actually tied a real bow on this one.  I normally cheat and just do a knot.  ;)

Supplies:  Cardstock & Ink (CTMH), Stickles (Ranger), Boarder Punch & Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Ribbon (American Crafts), Stamp (My Pink Stamper), Cricut & Doodlecharms Cartridge (Provo Craft).

I want to thank everyone of my followers.  You make me want to craft more and hopefully inspire you.  I love comments so thanks for taking the time.  I am also having fun checking our all of your blogs!  Thank you for sharing your creativity too!!

Thank Goodness it's the Weekend!

It has been a really long week in our house.  Between snow days, colds, and work I really needed this down time.  I hope to get to a  lot crafting done this weekend.  It is a long weekend for me too since the office is closed for MLK day. 


Okay so earlier this month I made a submission to the My Pink Stamper design team.  Although I was not one of the lucky ones chosen, there were so may talented entries.  I enjoyed looking at all of them and can't wait to see what the new design team comes up with.  It also lead a few new people to my blog.  Thank you to all who have left comments and decided to follow.  It means so much to me and I hope you stick around.  I will try to continue sharing my creations and I hope you will find this blog a source of inspiration.  Robyn is hosting a blog hop to get things started with her design team.  I went through all of them to get her code words for her first challenge.  What fun and so many great projects and cards!  I am going to link the following for the challenge.  I hope you all decide to join in.  I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

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.
