Happy Autumn

It sure has been awhile since I've done a challenge card. I've really missed doing them. My DH is in SLC Utah for a couple of months so I'm using my evenings to do fun things:-) This card is for Cooking With Cricut,   The Fantabulous Cricut,  Wacky Wednesday, Whimsical Wednesday, and Paper Cutz challenges.

I used the Sesame Street Seasons Cricut cart to cut out the leaves. I then embossed them with the Forest Branches Cuttlebug folder. I also embossed the brown CS with the D'vine Swirls folder. The PP is from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and the ribbon is PTI. I must apologize because I do not know who made the stamped sentiment. I remount all of my wood stamps onto cling foam and throw the blocks into a Rubbermaid bin. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)

Father's Day Card

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I smell cooking on grills, kids laughing, and.... well I don't see the sun but at least it's not raining and it's not 100 degrees:-) I caught myself once again staying up past my bedtime working on a challenge card. Time gets away from me during the summer with longer daylight and more summer activities.

For this card I used the Holiday Cakes cart for the car cut, October Afternoon "5 & Dime" PP, Stampin Up sentiment, Diamond Plate embossing folder, Making Memories brads, and Doodlebug ribbon. I submitted it for Simply Sundays, Challenge Me Monday, Monday Challenge, The Paper Variety, and Whimsical Wednesdays . Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Lady Bug Birthday

It was a long night which turned into a long day. My 10 m.o. contracted a strep virus somehow and was up all night drooling and crying. I've been changing his shirt about every hour because it gets soaked from all of his drool. I think his little tummy hurts, too. He keeps arching his back and screaming. The convenient care NP put him on an antibiotic but if he doesn't get any better, I'll be heading to his Dr. (DH is on a fishing trip):(

I quickly put this card together while he slept for a couple of hours this morning. He's down now again so I'm able to post this for Birthday Sundaes' three circles challenge and Whimsical Wednesday's old school Cricutless challenge. I used the lady bug from the Stampin' Up Little Layers set and the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments set. I also wanted to try the ruffled ribbon technique I've been seeing a lot of. I tried to do it like all of the You Tube videos showed but somehow it doesn't quite look right. I wonder if it is the type of ribbon I used (Doodlebug)? I did emboss the black with the Swiss Dot folder. I hope this is still "old school":-) Thanks for stopping by. Please consider "likeing" my FB page and have a creative day:-)

Oh, forgot to mention I didn't have any black Stickles so I used this A La Mode "glitter glue" I found in a drawer. It's more like glue with black flecks. Not so happy with it. I think I'll sneak it into the kids' craft drawer:-)

Here is my card I made for Whimsical Wednesday, Cricut Cardz, and Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges. I used the Simply Charmed cart (one of my favorites), My Creative Time All Star Baby stamp set, and butcher twine from The Twinery. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative weekend:-)

Inside

If Friends Were Flowers...

Surprised to wake up to snow this morning! Spring Break is not starting off on a good weather note. I hope the kids have a least a few nice days in the 60's before they go back to school (not sure if I can handle them being inside all week either;-) My mission this week is to unpack the rest of the boxes in the basement. Wish me luck! :-)


Here is my entry for Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday Challenge. It started out being for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge, also, but I forgot to enter it last night after I got home. It had to be pink, green and springy. I thought I'd incorporate it with the New Arrival cart that the TT challenge required. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms. I also entered this for Whimsical Wednesdays challenge suggested by Stephanie:-)
