My Fall Card

I made this card using my paper doll dress up cartridge. The tree and the turkey came from that cartridge. I had to color in the turkey with colored pencils, because he didn't have layers that made him colorful. I had to have a turkey with color lol! So if he doesn't look that great it because of the colored pencils. I used the martha stewart leaf punch for the leaves. So I hope you guys like it, and I hope everyone is having a great Monday!!

My Son's Birthday Cake

Well I have been SUPER busy with my son's party today, but I thought I would share some pics of his cake. I had so much trouble with this cake. I was not totally pleased with it, but it came out better than I thought it was. I went through one cake to get to this one, the first one tore all to pieces. I finally got it done at 1:00am. So I am super tired and really ready to go to sleep lol!! I just thought I would share some pics, I know it isn't the greatest cake, but I think it turned out pretty cute. My son loved it. So that was good enough for me, if he is happy I am happy lol! Just look over the plates in the background, that was my son's plate lol!! Hope you guys are having a wonderful Sunday!!

My Son's Birthday Card and Envelope!

Hey everyone I hope everyone is having a great day! I know it's late but I have been up trying to finish my son's birthday card and night is the only time I have to craft. So here it is I am super excited about how it turned out, I think it is just so stinkin cute!! I hope he thinks so too. I used my create a critter, celebrations, and paper dolls cartridge for this card. I used my trusty Martha Stewart score board to make the matching envelope. I am also going to enter this card in Karlee's challenge over on My Pink Stampers blog. Her challenge was to make a project with an envelope or a card with one. I was already going to be making his card so I kind of killed two birds with one stone. The happy birthday was from one of the $1 dollar wooden stamps from Michaels. I also had to throw in one of my scrappy mom stamps on the envelope. So I hope you guys like it, and I will be busy this weekend getting the rest of my son's 2nd birthday party together. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Throwback Thursday Challlenge

For this challenge you were to make a card without using your cricut. I am really excited about how my card turned out. I used kraft cardstock and black cardstock, and the rest of the paper is from K&Company Spooktacular paper pack. I love, love, love this paper pack it has the cutest Halloween paper in it. The spooky eyes ribbon came from Wal-mart, it was only $1 dollar, isn't it the cutest? I bought a roll of it and a roll that had candy corn with trick or treat written on it. So check out Wal-mart they have some cute Halloween ribbon for a low price, at least the one here has it I don't know if it is available at all Wal-marts or not. The little monsters and the owls I hand cut from one of the pattern sheets of paper, luckily they were all on the same sheet so I didn't have to waste any paper. I think they look so stinkin' cute!! The trick or treat stamp was from KI Memories Halloween stamp set I got from Tuesday Morning. I also used my Martha Stewart drippy goo border punch on this card, I love that punch lol!! So I hope you guys like it, and I hope everyone is having a great Thursday!!

My Pink Stamper Challenge

This is the card I made for the My Pink Stamper 5 million Celebration Challenge. I am so pleased with how this card turned out!! The theme was to make a card with a bird on it. I picked the penguin from create a critter, and I know the colors aren't very Christmas like colors but I was in a pink and brown kind of mood today lol!! So I made a Christmas card with pink and brown. I FINALLY got to use my new snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder YAY!!! I love my cuttlebug I don't know what I ever did without it. Anyway I used on of the $1 dollar wooden stamps from Michaels. I love those little dollar stamps they have the cutest fonts, but I do still love all my clear stamps too. I am not abandoning them by no means. I just think the little dollar stamps are cute too. You can never have too many stamps right? So I know I am just rambling on, so I will wrap up this post. I think my little penguin turned out super cute! Hope you guys think so too!! I only had one problem with the card, me and the bow got into a fight, and the bow almost won lol!! It isn't one of the best bows I have made, but it looks a lot better than it did before. So I hope everyone has a great day!! Happy crafting!!

The Pink Stamper Sept 11 Challenge!

Hey everyone it's me again. I made this card for the My Pink Stamper September 11th Challenge. I am not really satisfied with the way it turned out, I don't think it is one of my best cards. I don't have a patriotic cartridge and I could only find this image. It was the only one I could find that looked like it would match the occasion for September 11th. So I hope you guys like it a little, like I said I don't think it is my best card, but I worked with what I had, and this is what I came up with. So I hope you like it, and I hope everyone remembers what the soldiers sacrifice to protect us and keep us free. Have a great day everyone.

I also used my cuttlebug to emboss the blue layer of paper. I am also loving my cuttlebug lol!! So I hope you guys like it!! I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Whimsical Wednesday Challenge 9/08/2010

Here is my entry for this weeks whimsical Wednesday challenge. I used my new mini monster cartridge for this card. I had a hard time choosing which little character I wanted to use on my card, but I decided to use the little candy corn girl. I used my new KI Memories Halloween stamp set that I picked up a Tuesday Morning. The candy corn on the sentiment was from the same stamp set. I just colored it in, and for the spiders I used my Martha Stewart Halloween punch. The pumpkin candy bucket I altered the mouth on him because my cricut didn't want to cut his mouth out all the way. So I cut it out, and some teeth out free hand. Hope you guys like my card. Have a great day!! Here is a link to her blog http://www.alwayscrafting.com/

Whimsical Wedsnday Challenge

This is my entry for the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge with Stephanie. I am so excited about how cute this card turned out, I just think it is SUPER cute!! I used create a critter for the kitten and her pillow. I used my scrappy mom stamps for the sentiment. I was able to incorporate bling, brads, and two little buttons on my card at once. Hopefully I didn't over do it but I think it looks just right, and hopefully you guys think so too.
I am loving all the challenges people have out, it gives me something to work with and to maybe try something different for a change, and of course I love a good challenge even if I don't win, I still have so much fun creating something new! Hope everyone has a great day!!

My Scrapbooking Haul!!

I went to Michaels and Joann's today, and I didn't really find anything in Joann's, but I found a lot at Michaels. I got the spooktacular paper pack and it is so cute!! It was only $7 dollars and some change for 36 papers and they are double sided, I thought that was a great deal. I also got the Autumn Splendor solid color paper stack and I think it was $8 dollars and some change, and it has some glitter paper in it, and it had 36 sheets of paper in it also. I finally found a round corner punch, and I can't wait to try it out, it was on sale for $4.74.
They also had the 8.5x11 cardstock 2 for $5.00. So I picked up some of those in some bright and fun colors.
When I checked the mail today I found my Mini Monsters cartridge waiting on me, and I was super excited to get this in the mail, my Paisley cartridge should be here next week, can't wait for it to get here!! So I had to immediately start making things with it lol!! It has so many cute little images, it is going to be one of my favorites I think.
So that was what I found today, and I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend, and that everyone stays safe! Have a great day!!!
