My Pink Stamper Imagine Pink Wednesday Challenge

Hello again.... Here is my second post for the day!!  Woo Hoo!! This card was made for the MPS Imagine Pink Wednesday Challenge.  We are required to use our Imagine, if we have one, and make something SUPER YUMMY!!!  Of course, the Cricut YUMMY cartridge was the first one to come to mind. There are so many fun images to choose from, but it's one of my girlfriends' birthday today, so I wanted to make her a card.  This card took all of about 10 minutes to create...  you gotta love the Imagine, it makes things come together so quickly!! It's certainly not my best card, but I think it came out pretty good. :) As always, all comments are greatly appreciated.... they really make my day!! Thanks for stopping by... Have a Crafty Day!!

My Circle Blog Monthly Challenge entry

Hello!!  I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!!  We are getting a bit of rain today, but I can't complain since we have been having the most beautiful spring like weather for the past two weeks!!  Today I am sharing the card I made for the Circle Blog monthly challenge. Our challenge was to scraplift an idea from one of the DT members since the blog began.  This was definately not an easy choice to make, there are so many beautiful creations to choose from.  When I saw the house on this calendar, I knew I had to do something with it because it reminded me of our house.  With a few little changes, it is ALMOST perfect... we even have a tree out front with a swing hanging from it!! This is the first stair step card I have done, and I must say... I really like doing these types of cards.  I will be making more of this style for sure. My family totally freaked out when they saw the card... I am pretty sure they liked it!!!  I hope you like it too!! Thanks for stopping by...... Have a Crafty Day!!

Wee Memories Sketch Challenge & My Pink Stamper Birthday Challenge

Happy Saturday everyone!! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!  I am so excited to see what new products are being announced at CHA... I would have loved it if there was a SuperShow this year. I have seen glipses of some of the new stuff and all I can say is I better win the lottery tonight!!! LOL!!  Anyway, the card I am sharing today is for two different challenges.  First of all, Wee Memories is having a sketch challenge, so the layout of this card is based on that. When I saw the scallop at the top, it immediately made me think of an awning, so that is what sparked this idea. Also, My Pink Stamper is having a birthday challenge so I obviously made this into a birthday card. I know quite a few Starbucks lovers, so this will be good to have on hand. :)  This card was a lot of fun to make.... plus I got to use my Cricut markers, which have hardly been used at all!!  Thanks for stopping by... I hope you liked my card!!!
Have a Crafty Day!!!

Crafting with Cristina and BBTB 2 Challenge

Wow... this is my third  post of the day!!  I just realized that the challenge over at Crafting with Cristina was ending today, so I literally threw this card together.  I actually made this card in less than an hour, including coming up with the design!!  For me, that is incredibly fast!  I can spend days trying to come up with a card design... LOL! The challenge was to use black, white and gray (silver) only.  I am also submitting this card for the challenge over at BBTB 2 where you must incorpate butterflies!  Anyway here it is... what do you think????  I really like it, especially since I have never done a black and white card before.  Thanks for stopping by. Have a Crafty 'Day!

Momo's Challenge #20 submission

Hello again!!

Today I am sharing a project I made for the challenge over at Made By Momo.  The requirements for the challenge is to make something with a Princess theme.  I decided to make this cute little gift bag for my daughter who is having a birthday in about 3 weeks.  She is such a Princess.... I know she will love this!  The gift bag is from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge but is altered using my Gypsy.  I stretched the image so it would fill the entire 12x12 mat.  I have included the recipe down below.  Thanks so much for stopping by... I hope you enjoyed today's project! Of course, I am always thrilled to read your comments!~ Have a Crafty Day!!

My Imagination Monday Card Challenge

Hi everyone!!

Today I am sharing a card I made for Emma's Imagination Monday Challenge. The theme for the challenge is "Sweet"/"Valentine"... I obviously went with the Valentine theme. This card was really easy to make, once I decided on what image I wanted to use. (that took about 3 hours!.... seriously!!) I really really wanted to use my Peachy Keen face stamps on this, but the heart image only comes with the face on it! :( I know I could have flood filled with another pattern print then stamped, but I liked the swirly hearts on the pattern paper on this image,so I just went with it. I think it came out pretty cute. As always, I appreciate you stopping by and I cherish your comments. Happy Crafting!!
