Canvas Wall Art

Hello everyone.  We are having another bit of a cold snap here in the mid-west.  Spring like temps last week and freezing rain this morning.  Go figure.  Today's post is a wall hanging my daughter (17) made for a nine year old girl's upcoming birthday.  She raided my stash of canvases that I stocked up on so long ago when I thought I would alter them for home decor.  I was happy to see some of them used up.  I used the font on the Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge to cut the letters for her and she did the rest.  She even made the bunched up satin flower on the ribbon hanger on top.

Supplies: Ribbon (Offray & American Crafts), Cardstock (American Crafts), Acrylic Paint, Buttons, Flowers, Brads (misc.), Rhinestones (CTMH), Cricut, Winter Woodland & Hello Kitting Greetings Cartridges (Provo Craft), Staple Gun.

It's Friday...

Yippee it's the weekend.  I don't have any big plans just happy to have a few days of rest and relaxation.


Today I am sharing another card that is stamped.  I think the color scheme is a little fall but they all really go together nicely.  The Sentiment says "My Heart is Full".  Exactly how I feel today!

Supplies: Cardstock, Pattern Paper, Stamps, Ink, Ribbon, Hardware (CTMH), White Gel Pen (Uni ball Signo).

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).

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!

Mouse Valentine

Hello -

Today's card features yet again another cute creature from Create a Critter.  I used the flip feature on my Cricut Expression (can be done on the Gypsy too) to get two mice to face each other and the rest was my daughter's creation.  The concept was her idea and when she explained it to me I got excited to try the flip feature.  She used a sponge dauber to create her back ground.  The little flower in the girl mouse's hair and the flower the boy mouse is holding is from an EK Success boarder punch that she pieced together.  I think it is just the cutest card.

Supplies: Cardstock & Ink (CTMH), Stamp (My Pink Stamper), Ribbon (American Crafts), Stickles (Ranger), Boarder Punch (EK Success), Cricut & Create a Critter Cartridge (Provo Craft).

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a crafty day!
