For you.... Cute Tree Kraft Tag! And some Updates!

Hello Crafty Friends! I will be doing some traveling over the next two weeks and will not have internet access while I am away.. *GASP* What will I do??

I have several posts on pre-post for some upcoming challenges and design team projects along with a super fun hop. I hope you will join in on all the fun that we have going on. I will catch up on all my visiting when I return the first week of May. I hope I will have maybe one more project toward the end of the week to share before I leave. I will miss everyone!

While I should be packing, I just had to sneak in a quick CAS tag, Now I consider this CAS  compared to how I create!And it took me under 10 minutes.

I have also been trying hard to use my supplies that have taken over! So my entire project is made from my scrap cardstock pile. I also used a background stamp that I bought used from someone in 2009 that I never used before! I also took on the task of organizing my buttons!! And was easily able to find just the perfect buttons to add!

Tag (from my scrap pile) was cut using Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge

Sweet Baby!

I used my mini sewing machine for this challenge! I dusted it off a few weeks ago and have had it sitting right in front of me, reminding me to use it!

The sewing is a little crooked but I still love how this turned out! I used some of my handmade pins too!

Buttons and Bows!

I am not really a scrap-booker, more of a card maker but of course I cannot pass up a fun challenge!

Buttons and bows 12X12 lay-out is the challenge over at Serenity Scrappers.

Anything but a card at The sisterhood of crafters.


Bling buttons and brads over at Always Crafting.

Here is my entry:
I used the Wild Card Cartridge for the button frame and the large buttons! All the rest is from my stash! This will be the last time I do that frame!! It took me forever to bling it up!! I used brads, eyelets, string, hemp, real buttons, and gems!

New Arrival

I really do love this cartridge, I don't have any young ones, I don't know anyone who is expecting, but the cuts are just toooo cute for me not to make adorable cards!! I saw this button design on 2duckydesign and it reminded me that I learned this in a card class but never used it!

I saw a challenge to use buttons on a card and made this one....
BUT... for some reason I could not find the challenge blog after I finished the card!! So it did not get entered!


This one I made because the giraffe is just precious!!
