Poodle Birthday Card

Okay, I have got to get more creative with my titles:-) Just in a creative word slump today, I guess. Must be the weather;-) Rain, Rain go away, it's Saturday!

The challenges I worked on today are Throwback Thursday and Fabulous Friday. My card was made using the retired Paper Pups cart. This was one of the first carts I purchased because it had the cutest dog that looked like mine.



Hmmm, sort of....


I embossed some Very Vanilla CS with the Swiss Dots folder and layered a piece of DCWV Glitter Stack. I also used My Creative Time's new Curly Label die and a sentiment from an unknown company.  I tied little bows around the balloons with my new Trendy twine that just came the other day. It's two toned:-)


There's still time to play at Throwback Thursday and Fabulous Friday. Go check them out:-) Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Just Wordz Celebration Week 4

Good Morning Crafters! This is the fourth week of Kimberly's big Just Wordz stamp release celebration. Have any of you been able to try out her stamps yet? I find myself sitting with my acrylic block and playing a type of "scrabble" to see how many sentiments I can come up with:-)

This week I used Kate's ABC's and Cake Basics Cricut Cartridges. I popped up some of the flower layers to give them more dimension (boy, was it hard to cut up small pieces of pop dots!). I added some Stickles to coordinate with the DCWV All About Girls card stock.


Don't forget to leave a comment on this post as well as the other DT members for a chance to win a free set of Just Wordz stamps.

Festive Friday

Good Morning! This is my first post as My Cricut Craft Room's DT member:-) Erica loves, loves, loves Christmas! So, Fridays are Erica's days to showcase her favorite holiday.  This week I am using the Very Merry Tags cart along with the Snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder. I popped up the tree with some Dimensionals and used a little Stickles and American Crafts ribbon.


I wanted to create something simple that could be done quickly if you wanted to make multiple cards. I know sometimes I make a really ornate and intricate Christmas card and then realize it took 3 hours and I need to do 100!

Remounting Wood Mounted Stamps

Good Monday Morning Crafters! It looks like things are going to cool off here in the Midwest, at least for a few days:-) Can't wait to get out walking with my baby. Here is a video I did but didn't have time to post it until now. I did forget one important step about baby powder. I didn't re-film but did a quick pop-up through YouTube. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Queen Of My Craftroom Back To School Hop

Good Morning Crafters! If you have come from Tina's blog then you are on the right track:-) If not then you will want to start at the beginning so you don't miss any of the fun. Here is the list for you to follow:


Tammy ~ You Are Here



My project is an 8x8 layout using DCWV Back to School stack and embellishments. The title was printed on my computer using the Chalkduster font. The punched Photo Corners and Spiral Edge are punches from Stampin' Up and the ribbon came from my stash. I have finally organized my ribbon so, other than S/U and PTI, I'm not exactly sure of the origin:-) The baker's twine I do know is from The Twinery.






I will be giving away this wonderful book from Annie's Attic on Monday. Simply become a follower and leave a comment on this post that you did (or if you already are) for a chance to win. 





Don't forget to leave a comment on Michelle's blog for a chance to win some wonderful goodies:-) Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is the fabulous Anita.

Tacky Tuesday Challenge

Good Morning! The new Tacky Tuesday Challenge has begun. This month you will need to create a project using the word "Berry". Here is my DT card for this month. I used an A2 size card base with S/U Real Red, embossing only the top half with one of the Nifty Fifties Cuttlebug folders. I used S/U's scalloped border punch on a strip of S/U Green Galore CS and adhered the cherry pattern cs from DCWV Sweet Matstack to it. The die cut is from the Hello Kitty Greetings cart. I added some scrap ribbon and Maraschino twine from The Twinery (I had to use it somehow... the name was screaming to be used with this card). I finished off with some Stickles and a sentiment from MPS Fruit and Veggies Puns set.


If you haven't checked out Ruthie's blog, head on over by clicking HERE. She has all of the details for joining the Tacky Tuesday Facebook Challenges. Thanks for stopping. Have a creative day:-)
