Thanks!

Paper Cutz Challenge!

For challenge # 57, make a card, LO or craft project using 1 ribbon, 2 buttons and 3 colors and any theme you'd like.

Here is my entry:

I used Create A Critter for the tulip and I used a little cuttlebug folder for the thanks and used some white chalk to highlight it!

The Power of Pink

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month Abbie over at Cricut me that is holding a challenge!

*Think Pink, project must contain the color pink and some sort of inspirational/encouraging message pertaining to breast cancer....however you interpret this.






I love this card, I feel something when I look at it and I unfortunately have someone to give this card to.

I used New Arrival for the woman and SCAL for the Breast Cancer Ribbon. The hope stamp is from Scrappy Cat Inspirations.

My chicks sell all the cards they make to raise money for Breast Cancer awareness. Here is a photo of their booth at the Breast Cancer fund raiser that we had last
month:This is their booth, they sold all the cards they made and baggies of candy. All the money they raised went to Breast Cancer research!

Check out what I won!

Back in July I won the blog hop over at Papercraft Star! The prize was a gift certificate to My favorite things!

They have so many amazing stamps and it took me this long to decide which ones to get!! SO my package arrived today!!

Here is what I picked:

They are so cute!! Thanks Papercraft star and My favorite things!!

From my Kitchen!

My friend let me borrow her From My Kitchen Cartridge so I was lucky to be able to join in on the following challenges:

BBTB2 Challenge
: to use the Apron Cut from the cricut cartridge From My Kitchen

Crafty Calender: Now for this month's challenge details which is 'Blue' and the optional extra is 'Flowers'.

Meljens Design Team: # 23 stripes!

Now I have to confess I love aprons!! I wear one every single day! I have a whole drawer full of fun ones, fancy ones and every style in between!

I have been known to accidentally go out in my apron because I forget that I am wearing one!

So I really wanted to do this challenge! My little chicks loved this card! They said it must be framed and hung in the office!

I wish I had a stamp that said what's cookin' good lookin' for this one!

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.

Time for A Shout Out!!


I think that's what you call it!

I wanted to give a shout out to Serenity Scrappers!!

Made by Momo Challenge!

I was the lucky winner of Momo's challenge last week!! Yippee!! Thanks Momo! I hope you received my email!

Now onto my entry!

Here is the challenge:


So this weeks theme is to use Black and White, and then you can pick 1 other color of your choice.

Here is my entry:

I picked up this cool border punch on clearance for $6.99 so I made my card around it! I used Indie Art for the dice and black vinyl to make them shiny.

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!
