Busy Cleaning my Craft Room....

I am busy cleaning my craft room... so it is the perfect time to squeeze in a one hour lay-out challenge! Sure why not!!

Here is the sketch from Practical Scrappers:

Here is my entry:

I used perfect pages Glamour Girl

Ok Ok so here is my still completely upside craft room!

Ahhh..... to clean or to craft.....

Don't worry I still have my beautiful shelves!

Packed so full!!

Eight minutes to spare!

It's your Bird-Day!

I made this card with these challenges in mind:

Cuttlebug challenge:

YOUR CHALLENGE: Create a card, layout, home decor project, altered item, etc. with the primary color as PINK, in honor of My PINK Stamper, and it needs to have a sentiment stamped on the front. It does not have to be her image (though that would be lovely!) Don't forget to use the Cuttlebug!


Cricut Cardz Challenge:
For challenge # 40, make a card using scalloped circles, scalloped ovals, scalloped squares or scalloped rectangles, and any cartridges or colors you'd like.

Practical Scrappers:
Time to pull out those "white writing instruments" and show us what creative ways you can use them.

Here is my entry:I used Create a Critter for the bird, Accent Essentials for the two scallops, punny-licious for the sentiment, the ribbon is from Target, I used the Divine swirls and swiss dots cuttlebug folders.

Almost Finished!!

I am so excited!! This is one of the last pages that I needed to make for my friend's Christmas present. I met my goal and before my deadline of Christmas! Yippee!! But I decided I am going to give it to her for her birthday in November so I can give it to her sooner!!

This is the Mom and Me page:



I of course had challenges in mind while making this!
Here is where I will be entering it:

My Friend

The summer has come and gone for us and we are already into our first week of school! Summer was a blur and I missed seeing all my friends on a regular basis, so I wanted to send out reminders! LOL!!


I found this great I-Cling stamp at Micheal's, K&Co Amy Butler Paper which I LOVE, and I made this super 3-D flower pin! The sun and grass are from Create A Critter. I love how it turned out!

DragonFly Happy Birthday Card

I swapped some pattern papers with my friend and received these awesome pastel patterns, I just love them so I started my card with that. I then used the sketch from PaperCraft Star. I didn't want to do a real bow, so while I flipped through the Cricut books I came across this dragon-fly and thought, perfect!

Practical Scrappers Challenge

This is my first time doing a challenge for this blog...

Here are the requirements:

This week we want to see you get out your punches and use them. It can be any kind of a punch, including border punches!

I used the giant square punch for the brown background square, my 1" for the pattern square and added a button. I used congratulations ribbon, some flowers and the pattern paper is punched with a border punch from the paper studio. I used my corner rounder punch for the top two corners! (This is my favorite pattern paper)
