Breast Cancer Awareness.....

Hello and Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you are
all having a Fabulous week so far! Mine has been going
pretty good too! I've been designing some cards and 
hopefully over the weekend I can get them cut and put
together! Today is our Cricut Cardz Challenge!!!

“Think Pink!” October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. To help promote this worthy cause, make a card for a friend or a loved one for Breast Cancer Awareness month. It can be a reminder card for self-exams and mammograms, a card congratulating a breast cancer survivor, or a card of encouragement for someone currently going through the trauma of breast cancer. Use any cartridges you'd like and use Pink as your primary color.

Card stock, Designer Paper, Label Punch - Stampin' Up

I Hope all of you participate in this wonderful
Challenge over at Cricut Cardz! This is a great time
to tell someone how much you care about
them or to remind a dear friend to make sure they
get an exam done. I look forward to seeing what
everyone creates! :o)

Blessings one and all....

Hello and Happy Thursday! It's the end of the week

for me and that means crafting time! Yea! I don't get

much time in during the week like I use to so I look

forward to Thursdays because it means No school for

us on Friday and I can craft all day long! Gotta LOVE that!

Here's another one of the cards I made last weekend... :o)

This didn't take to much time at all to make....

No Cricut Cuts either! I know some of you shake

your head in shame! LOL But a girls gotta do

what a girls gotta do! :o) Here's the Details:

Card stock, Ink, Stamp, Ribbon, Scallop Border Punch - Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - DCWV Autumn Stack

Copper Eyelet - My Stash

Flower w/Button - Oriental Trading (I bought them a long

time ago and finally got around to using them)

Basically I took an 11 1/2 x 4 1/4" piece of Card stock

and scored at 4 1/4" and 9 3/4", then I took my

Scallop border punch and punched the one end

added a leave scallop border to that same end,

punched a hole to put an eyelet through...

Added the Designer paper on the other side and added

a piece of vanilla card stock on the inside....

Stamped then added the flower and put the ribbon

all the way around the card to make a bow

(Normally I NEVER use that much ribbon on a card)

I like to save my ribbon but this card needed the full affect

of the ribbon to go around the card... :o)

Well I hope you like my Thanksgiving card... Thanks so much

for stopping by! Have an AWESOME Week/Weekend!! :o)

Warm Wishes.....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope you're

week is off to a great start! Mine isn't going to bad!

I have a Stampin' Up Party this week... I love having those!

a bunch of gals get together and we create either a card

or a Layout and use all Stampin' Up Supplies.... I'm sure

you've notice by ALL my posts that I am a HUGE Fan of

Stampin' Up Products! They have quality stamps, paper,

ink, Digital content and MORE! Of course I also LOVE

the Other companies like Papertrey Ink, CTMH, Creative Memories!

I just use a lot of Stampin' Up Products.... :o) Soooo

today's project is with all Stampin' Up Products....

It's one of my Digital Hybrid Cards I did over

the weekend... I hope you like it...

 This was soooo simple to create! This is actually one

of the designer images in the "My Digital Studio" Program...

But I wanted to make it myself... So I printed out the

leaves and Warm Wishes on Vanilla Cardstock....

Then I printed out the bottom section on

White Cardstock.... I did the same thing with

the green strip as well... Cut them all down to what

I needed for a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Card....

Then added the pretty ribbon and BAM!

A quick lovely Thanksgiving/Fall Card!

Thanks for stopping by today... I'll be back

tomorrow with a Halloween Card using my

Favorite tool the Cricut! Have an AWESOME DAY!!
