Flower Shoppe!

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone! I hope your week

is going great so far! Today I have a card for you for our

Challenge over at Cricut Cardz Challenge! Everyone is to

make a Birthday Card for a Grandparent! You can use any colors

or cartridges you'd like! Sounds like a good challenge to me! I don't have

any grandparents alive and either does my husband so when I decided to

make this card I was thinking of my parents or my hubby's parents and

a card that my children would give to one of them. My Mother in Laws

birthday is in August so I thought this would be really pretty for

her to have from my boys. I used a brand new cartridge on it and I really

like the colors and look of this card! Here's the info on it! :o)

Card stock, Punches, Ribbon 5/8" - Stampin' Up

Sentiment - My digital Studio (Stampin' Up)

Designer Paper - Basic Grey (Ambrosia)

Gem Brad - Karen Foster

Cartridge - Flower Shoppe (Small Center Flower) Cut @ 3"

(Grey Flower) Cut @ 2 1/2" (Red Petals) Cut @  2 1/4"

(Orange/White Flower) Cut @ 2 3/4"

Basically I adhered all the flowers together then I poked

a whole in the center wide enough to fit the Gem Brad through.

Then I used Glue dots to adhere the flower to the ribbon/paper

(P.S. I made this just before I lost my Mojo! It's the card

I was having trouble with colors/paper that I mentioned in

yesterdays post! Thank goodness I like how it turned out!)



Here is a close up of the flower itself... This cartridge has lots

of great flowers and layering options... Mix and match is certainly

going to be fun with this Flower Shoppe Cartridge!

Now that you've seen what I've made for this Challenge...

Head on over to The Cricut Cardz Challenge and check out

all the other wonderful creations the

Design Team has done and then join us for this great Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by! Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Batman & a Bow???

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you're having

a terrific day so far! I have been having creativity issues...

For the past 2 weeks I should have made things and yes I've

done a little but not on my normal scale. I'm not sure what my

problem is but I gotta get back on track! I was looking at my

paper stash last night and I couldn't come up with anything for

awhile! I mean some papers are in packs which should make it

easy to put together but I kept saying nooo, not that, nope, ummm

nooo and not liking my colors which were already picked for me!

Have one of you taken my MOJO AWAY? I have an all night

crop this Friday and have made NOTHING to take with me!

I'm starting to freak out just a little.... so if one of you have it

could you please return it to me just for this week so I can get

some work done? Pretty Please! :o) I'll show you what

I made for my son to give to his friend for his birthday! :o)

Finally got to use my Sizzix Bow Die! :o)

I used all Stampin' Up Card stock to make this bow!

I wanted it to match the colors in the word "Happy"

on the wrapping paper!

I used a large orange brad to hold everything together!

Then my son wanted me to make his friend

a Batman Card! I used my Design Studio

to weld the 2 batman pieces together.

 And I used the "Hide Contour" feature to

hide all of Batman's lines so we could put

a sentiment on the inside. This sentiment

is from a Stampin' Up Birthday set.

I got to finally use my Batman Cartridge!

Had it for awhile and hadn't cut anything....

Good thing my son likes Batman! Hopefully

he'll want me to make something with my

Superman Cartridge too... Cause it hasn't

been used either! OOPS! :o) Well that's it

for me today! I gotta go find my Mojo! Have an

AWESOME DAY!!!

My Very First Video!!!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! So here is my surprise!

I've downloaded my very first VIDEO! Can you believe it?

I was thinking about doing videos for awhile now and finally

decided to take the plunge! I was sooo nervous and I don't like

the sound of my voice on the video but it's my first one so I

guess that can be expected.... Right? LOL My son Juston likes

making videos so he was the one who video taped it. It's not the

best video but I hope you guys can try and make them too!

Anyway... without further ado here's my

very first video and I hope you like it! :o)

I want to THANK (pinkaboo6691) for showing me how to make these flowers!

Well that's my first video in a nutshell! Let me know what ya think!

Have an AWESOME DAY EVERYONE!!!

I've been planning on this idea for awhile now and I'm finally

taking the plunge.... That's all I'm gonna say about it! :o)

Ancestry Prayer....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope all of you

had a fabulous holiday weekend! We went and saw the

fireworks in the next town and it turned out wonderful!

I LOVE looking at the pretty colors up in the sky! We

didn't do much else... It was a very laid back weekend and

I didn't even bother to craft again! Ok... That's a small lie!

I did do a small craft project on Friday night which I will

show you very soon and I did make a Paper Flag on a

stick for my son. He said he wanted to wave it as we were

watching the fireworks! And he did! :o) But that's all

I did all weekend! I didn't even get a chance to hop on

over to say HI on some of my favorite blogs... :o)

So here is my project for today! :o)

Over the weekend my Hubby & I both found out some

relatives past away.... One from his side the other from mine...

We knew these people but were not that close so I thought I

would post a sympathy card in their honor... I'll be

mailing them out today... :o) This is a 4 3/4" Square card.

Card stock, Ink, Stamp, Punches - Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - Ancestry Patterns Imagine Cartridge

(Cross) Easter Cartridge 2010 Cut @ 1.8 (on the Imagine)

Cream Pearls - Prima Marketing

Well that's it for me today! Hopefully I will make

something to show you tomorrow! I'm pretty sure I will! :o)

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!
