Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! This week I will be showing you (6) cards that I made.... I had a request from someone who likes to purchase some of my cards.... She asked me if I could make some "Cute Cards"... She said you know the ones with the cute animals on them! 
I laughed after reading what she wrote and then told her I would make some for her.... So I made (6) Cards that have all been cut with the Create a Critter Cartridge! Soooo All this week I will show you some adorable (I think so anyway) Children's Birthday cards that I made! Enjoy! :o)

This is an A2 Size Card on Old Olive CS, the next layer is on So Saffron CS, next layer is Designer paper called Georgia Peach..... I cut the frame out of Regal Rose CS at 3" and the White Layer was cut from my Design Studio at 2.019 x 2.48 (George & Basic Shapes) then
I inked the edges with Old Olive
The Bumble Bee was cut @ 2 1/2" and I used the Shadow, Reg. key for the bee which is cut in Chocolate chip.... Then the Layer 1 key (Head & Body stripe) was cut out 2 x's in So Saffron & I inked the edges, then the Layer 2 key (Wings) was cut out 2 x's in Pink Pirouette & I inked the edges, Then the Layer 3 key (Cheeks) was cut out in the new Stampin' Up Color Peach Parfait, and I inked the edges....
I used Dimensionals to POP it up....
I cut a strip of Old Olive CS, then used a Fiskar Border Punch called (Lacy Days of Summer) and a strip of striped Designer Paper with a 1/4"  Ribbon going across in another new Stampin' Up Color called Daffodil Delight...
The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Stamp set cut out in a small oval punch then the outer layer was cut with a med. oval punch then placed with Dimensionals....

Halloween Already????

Happy Thursday Everyone! Halloween??? Already??? What?? Well... Noooo.... It's  not exactly October just yet, but I have been wanting to try out my Mini Monster's cartridge for sooo long that I thought... Why Not? LOL :o)  I don't care for Summer much, I'm more of a Fall and Spring kind of girl! Since my kids will be starting school in a couple of weeks I thought I would get a Jump start on my fall cards.... I really like how this turned out... it's exactly how I pictured it would come out... How often does that happen? :o) So here's to Halloween!!!!

I Made $5 off of this card! LOL

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday to you all! I wanted to share with you this card I made and I got $5 out of the deal as well.... :o) As I told you yesterday my Middle Son Juston turned 15 yrs. old.... Well in my family I tell ALL my boys that when it's someones Birthday or Holiday or whatever.... that requires a card - to make it themselves instead of buying a card.... It means more when it is made from the heart... RIGHT???? Well my oldest boy Mathew who is 17 yrs. old was asked if he made his brother a card yet??? And well.... you know what the answer is.... LOL And so he says you make him one for me mom.... I reply with... sure for $1.50, He says OK... I say if you want the inside done it will cost $2.50 for the card..... So My Son.... Who is also employed and has his own money says.... I'll give you $5 for it.... I say SURE! So I made him this card to give to his brother for his Birthday! :)

Ho Hum kind of day again!

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! I hope you are all having a great week! I've still got my Ho Hum days going on and can't wait for my new supplies to get here! I don't know about you but for me sometimes looking at ALL the stuff in my Scraproom makes me think I don't need it (GASP) or I'm just tired of it and need something new.... I'm feeling the "Need something New" Thing and just keep thinking about the new stuff I ordered and I'm ignoring the stuff I already have.... I don't want to make anything... I have 6 brand new cartridges waiting for me to play with them... and yet I'm not feeling it.... I don't think I've lost my Mojo yet again, I just think I want something "NEW"....  Crazy? Probably... :o) Anyway, I totally took this card straight from my old 2006 Paper Crafts Magazine! I changed the colors and papers of course but it's pretty much a copy of the card in that magazine! I really like the colors I chose since I was going for a masculine look... Let me know what you think.... :o)


(Reminder: Click on Photo to Enlarge)

Everything is Stampin' Up - Colors are Chocolate Chip,
More Mustard
Be on the look out for Miislucky... she should be posting for ya this Friday and Saturday.... enjoy the rest of the week and I'll be back Monday with something new (I hope) LOL
