So Super Sweet! {and quick!}

Amazing! We went from 94 degrees to 64 degrees in a matter of minutes! Big storms scare me:-( They are quite different here in the country than in the city. I couldn't sleep so I decided to make a challenge card. This was quick and easy since I was too tired to be creative.

The lolly actually came from PPDU which I needed to use for CCCC. The colors are for MPS challenge to use orange, turquoise, and green. I can't tell you what solid CS I used because I keep all of the like colors together in clear holders. I did use Robyn's sentiment from her Everyday Occasions set as well as twine from The Twinery. OK, yes I used Stickles... I can't help myself. Well, it's late {yawn} and I have to get up and take the dog to the vet in the a.m. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

All You Need Is Love

I hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day weekend:-) It is raining here right now but forecasted to be 92 on Monday, ugh! It was just 34 a couple of days ago. Since it is such icky weather I decided to try and get another challenge card done and uploaded. This one is for Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge. I don't have the Groovy Times cart but I do have the Feeling Groovy cart which I got to make my daughter's birthday cake last February. Click HERE to see it. I also used MPS Pink-alicious stamp set for the sentiment. I thought this worked well with the card. It reminds me of the Beatles and the movie I saw as a kid, Yellow Submarine. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative Memorial Day Weekend:-)

Thinking of you today!

Good Morning crafting friends! If you are looking for my blog candy post click HERE.

It's supposed to be sunny and 81 degrees here today! I guess mother nature is making up for last month's cold and rain in one day;-)
I made this card is for the Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge. I used the Hoot N Holler lite cart with some Stampin' Up CS and buttons with PPI ribbon. The sentiment is from MPS Fabulous Phrases set. I forgot I used craft ink for the sentiment and ended up smudging the phrase a little. Boy does that stuff take a long time to dry! Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day and don't forget to leave a comment on my blog candy post!

A little birdie told me...

Happy May Day fellow bloggers! Even though it was quite cold today, the sun was out. Something that has been absent for quite awhile. Now that the kiddees are in bed I wanted to upload my challenge card for Cricut Cartridge Chaos' - A Child's Year and Paper Cutz's -Anything Goes challenges. The CS is from Bazzil and Bo Bunny. The sentiment is from MPS Tweetie Hoo Puns. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day.

U Rock!

Before I tackle the basement again I thought I'd get one challenge card done. This one is for Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge. The cart this week is Indie Art.  Was super quick with this one. Printed cs from High School Mat Stack, some metallic cs and one of the guitar cuts from Indie Art. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Happy Spring and almost 100!

Wow! I can't believe I have almost 100 followers. Thank you Momo! I've been working on a short video to try and upload tomorrow (April 1), no foolin'! We'll see what kind of time my 9 month old will give me. Four new teeth equals no naps and sleepless nights:-( I did, however, get a card done to enter in a few challenges; Claudia & Co., Paper Cutz, Cricut Cartridge Chaos, Fantabulous Cricut, and Penny's Paper Challenge.

Hoppy Birthday!

Hello crafting friends:-) Here is my most recent card for a couple of challenges. The first challenge is Tacky Tuesday. We are supposed to use the bunny cut from the Birthday Bash cart, but I don't have that one so I used the bunny from Doodlecharms. We also needed to use the word or form of the word "hop" on our creation. The sentiment came from MPS's Punny-liscious set. The second blog challenge is Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge (CCCC). My SIL's birthday is very close to Easter this year so I'll be putting this card to use next month:-) Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day!

Aloha!

Have you ever started with an idea for a card or layout and ended up somewhere completely different? Well, my inspiration began with a patterned cardstock from the Animal Crackers Stack. The card is for the Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge,  Life's a Beach. I saw the cute lizard/salamander (what is the difference between the two?) and wanted to use it. After trying to match and coordinate 50 different shades of green then running to Hobby Lobby for more shades, I ended up losing my focus on what I originally wanted to do. After all of that  I realized I didn't have a sentiment stamp that I thought I had. So, the card is a little more "cluttered" than I like and the sentiment is a little out of scale. At lease now I know I need to start looking for stamp sets with lizard puns:-) I also submitted this card to Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge. She required the use of an older cart and the color green. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)

Merry Christmas

No, I'm not losing it, or maybe I am. It was snowing here this morning. Not sure if mother nature knows it's supposed to be Spring;-) Anyway, I actually was able to get a card done this morning that covers three challenges. Is that cheating? The first thing I thought of was a Christmas tree when I saw the requirements for the Fantabulous Cricut  and Cricut Cartridge Chaos challenges (both Monday challenges). FCCB wants us to use a tree and CCCC is having us use the SYI cart. Then this morning the Cricut Cardz challenge asked us to do a 9 x 4 card. Well, this just all fit together so nicely I couldn't pass it up. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day!

Hello!

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so excited that it's getting closer to Spring:-) I've had my fill of cold and snow and am ready for grass and flowers! I have one card that I am entering in three blog challenges today. I try to do a different one for each challenge, but I'm heading into a crazy weekend and I think my card simply fit will with all three Monday challenges I like to participate in: Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge, Paper Playtime Challenge, and Challenge Me Monday. CCCC required using the Paisley Cart, PPC wanted us to use a cut that represented technology, and the Fantabulous Cricut Blog's Challenge me Monday wanted us to use embossing on our card. I couldn't find the perfect ribbon for my card so I "faked it" and cut a strip of cs to simulate ribbon. I like using at least three different textures on my cards so I made a "phone fob" with fibers and glass beads. Kinda fun:-)
Thanks for stopping by. Having a creative day:-)

Purple Poodle

Do you sense a theme here at my blog? :-) Anyway, I had all the intentions of getting this card done well before the challenge deadline but, here we are 2 hours 'til the cut-off. I was in such a big hurry that I forgot to stamp my CS before I embossed it - this is what happens crafters:-/ My poodle is, of course, from Create A Critter cart. I found a challenge that specifically said to use CAC so I had to enter it, Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge -CCCC for short.
