Tinkerbell Birthday card!!

Hello my crafty friends!! Today I am sharing a card I made for a friends daughter's birthday.  For some reason I totally struggled with designing this card, but in the end, I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.   I am entering this card in a few different challenges.  Birthday Sundaes Challenge #21    , Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge #58, and  the Paper Craft Weekend Challenge (Facebook).  Thank you so much for stopping by. I have a few other cards I will be posting , so please check back soon.  I would love to know what you think of my card! Hope you have a crafty day!!

My California Pennant!!

Hello my friends!   Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.  My life has been a bit chaotic over the last month.  Besides the girls being out of school for the summer, we have been having our kitchen remodeled the past 4 weeks!  What an experience this has been..... I am certainly ready for it to be done! I think we have about another week, then we should be good to go.  I tell ya, I can't wait to use a dishwasher again... washing dishes in a bathtub just ain't easy! LOL!!  Anyway, I haven't been able to get much crafting done, but I did want to share the pennant I submitted for the Cricut Circle Road to CHA pennant contest. We were supposed to create a pennant that prepresented our state, country or province using the pennant from the Birthday Bash cartridge.  All the paper was designed with my Cricut Imagine and I used the 50 States and Destinations cartridges for the cuts.  I know there were a ton of awesome pennants submitted, so my chances of winning are quite small, but I had a good time making this, so I guess that is what really matters!!  I would love to know what you think, so if you could leave me a comment, I would really really appreciate it! Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a CRAFTY day!!
