Spring time Card Color Challenge....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Today is Cricut Cardz Challenge #67!

You are to make a Card for Spring using

the colors Pink, Green, & White ONLY

with any cartridges you like! At first I was like

WHAT??? Hummm..... I started designing a card

in my Design Studio and it came out cute or

so I think anyway.. :o) But realized it would not

work for this color challenge.... Soooo, back to the

drawing board (so to speak) And I came up with a design

I thought would work best for this particular challenge!

I hope you all like it cause I really do! Here's my DT Card! :o)

Card stock, Ink - Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - Stampin' Up, DCWV, Making Memories

Cartridges - Pooh & Friends (Clouds) Cut @ 1 1/2" (2x's)

Create a Critter (Flowers) Cut @ 2" (6x's)

April Showers (Butterflies) Cut @ 1 1/4", 1 1/2" Flipping (1)

Signo Gel Pen for dots around Butterflies

Here is a side view to show you all

the dimension I did on this card...

I HAD to ink the edges and I HAD to

pop everything up... I tell ya... I think this

card SHOUTS SPRING! But then again that

may be me doing the shouting! tehehehe

Well I hope you liked my card and now it's your turn!

Head on over to http://www.cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/

to see what the other amazingly talented design team has done

and join in on the fun! I'll try to stop by and say Hi! :o)

Have an AWESOME Day!!!

Hoppy Easter....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I hope your week is going well...

I'm very busy cutting out pieces for my

cards that I've designed... It's the end of the month

so that means it's time for my Monthly Crop til

you drop Friday night... I look forward to going and

seeing the lovely ladies that live here in town.... And

since I prefer making cards (they make Layouts) I like

to have a stack of cards to take with me to put together....

Sooo, that is what I'm doing all this week... cutting, and cutting

and designing, and cutting some more! LOL

Hopefully by Thursday, I will have all my cards ready

to go for Friday night! That is my goal anyway...

Today's project is the card I made for my card Swap...

This month's theme was to make an Easter Card! :o)

Happy Easter Stamp - My Pink Stamper

Face Stamp - Peachy Keen (PK490) Everyday Assortment

Embossing Folder - Quickutz (Flowers) Folder

Cartridge - Simply Charmed (Bunny Outfit)

Happy Day Card....

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope you all had a Marvelous weekend!

I did a few things here and there..... mostly

played with my new toy! I broke down and

bought the Cricut Imagine! I just couldn't resist

the great sale they offered on it... Well... Technically

my Hubby said to just get it as my Birthday Present...

My Birthday is next month and he figured with the

price they offered and my Cricut Circle member discount

it was well worth the price and it may never get that low again!

So I ordered it and I even have a spot for it... For now that is! :o)

Still not a fan of the ink cartridges they use... 3 in 1 ink cartridges are

not my favorite type of ink cartridges... but it prints and cuts

nicely!  :o) At least I know I'm not the only one who got this machine!

My sister miislucky (Mi-Mi) also got this machine...

Sooo, I'm pretty sure you will see projects from

both of us using this new TOY! :o) For now here is

a project using my FAVORITE tool my CRICUT EXPRESSION!

Card stock, Ink, Sentiment, Round Punches _ Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - SEI (Scrap paper)

Cartridges - Four Legged Friends (Doggie) Cut @ 4"

Paper Pups (Hat, Presents) Cut @ 2" each

This is a 4 3/4" Square Card...

I'm also entering this card into a couple of Challenges....

Photo Frame Welded...

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Boy... I've missed ya! :o) Well I'm back from

my trip up North and I was actually without a computer the

entire time.... I think I was having withdrawals... :o)

I 'm glad I went to check out the school my son will

be attending in the fall and help him look for an apartment

as well.... They had some really nice places and some not so

nice places.... I'm sure you all can relate to that! :o) We then

went further North to get some much needed shopping done...

And not the crafting kind I would have liked to do but shopping

none the less! We even stopped for my Husband to get his eyes

examined... After his test he was not happy to hear what the

Optometrist had to say.... He needs Bifocals!!! Yes I said it and

he's not gonna be happy I wrote that... but it's the truth! He thinks

because he needs them that he's getting OLD! I laughed of course because

that is soooo not true... My husband has always had poor vision and knowing

that he need Bifocals really didn't surprise me... I'm just glad it will help him

to read items better... My son and I had to tease him of course... It was just fun

to watch him get all upset over glasses... To me that's nothing compared to all

the medical issues he has faced over the last 7 years.... So this is a walk in the park!

 I'm gonna dedicate this post to him! I made a home decor project last week

and I wanted to post it to show you... Here it is and I hope you like it! :o)

Can you believe it... I used my GYPSY on this project!

I know, I know, SHOCKER! For me to! LOL

Any who... here's the specks:

Cartridges - George & Basic Shapes

(Shane & Rectangle Shape)

Lacy Labels (Shape #5 on keypad)

Happy Hauntings (Backside stand)

Shift, Layer 1

Here is a side view for ya, to see the stand in action!

I used chipboard for the frame and stand

Got it from the back of a DCWV stack!

Designer Paper is the NEW My Mind's Eye

Stella & Rose (Gertie)

Here is the back to show you that I took Shane's

name and flipped it in the designer paper...

I didn't want any chipboard to show, so I also covered

the back and the stand as well....

The picture is 4x6 and it's a picture of

Shane from our cruise we took a couple of years ago!

Well... that's it for me today! I gotta get 16 cards

done for my card swap tomorrow... Yes I know I'm

a SLACKER!!! But trust me... it will get done! :o)

Thanks for stopping by and thanks everyone for

leaving me comments... I so enjoy reading them! :o)

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Time to Read....

Hello and Happy Saturday Everyone! I know my

sister Mi-Mi has posted already, but I need to get

these challenges out of the way so I can go on my

trip tomorrow! We are going North for my Oldest son.

We plan to go look at the College he will be attending

in the Fall and check out the area/apartments and such!

And then maybe after looking for him we will drive another

hour north to do some shopping! I LOVE that idea! :o)

We probably won't do a ton of shopping but enough to

just enjoy it! Especially since we don't live close to a big city...
