Thanks Mom!!

What a good day I had today!! I'm thinking I should change my name from abusybee to aluckyduck!!


First I was off from work today so I was able to completely craft while my girls were at school, then I received the prize I won from Courtney Lane Designs in the mail and....

I also won the Boo to You embossing folder on Ebay for $1.99!! Including shipping!! And that was also in the mail today!


Then I stopped by my Mom's house and she surprised me with these amazing paper packs!! Five packs and they are so nice!! Thanks Mom!

I feel so spoiled today!!

I was a winner over at Courtney Lane Designs!

Sweet Pea!

From my least favorite challenge (sports) to my most favorite babies!!

More than Favors is having another challenge: Babies!

I love to make baby cards!

Here is my entry:
I used New Arrival for the sweet pea, Peachy Keen stamps for the baby face, paper from Debbie Mumm, and the stamp is from friskars.

Happy Birthday Princess!!

After doing a plain boy card, I was really motivated to take on the challenge over at Paper Playtime!

For Challenge #15 make any paper craft project inspired by this theme: CASTLES, KNIGHTS & DAMSELS IN DISTRESS. You may interpret this theme any way you like.
Here is my entry:

I used Paper Doll Dress up for the princess. I did use a little cuttlebug embossing folder that says princess under her feet but it doesn't show well in the photo. I ran her dress through the divine swirls and added glossy accents. Face stamp is sizzix. You can click on the photo for a better look.

Happy Birthday Dinosaur!

The Cuttlebug Challenge this week is:

YOUR CHALLENGE: Create a Happy Birthday card with at least two layers (since it's our second birthday!!), and using the Cuttlebug!

I have been really trying to use my Cuttlebug more so this was a great challenge for me, I also never make birthday cards for boys so I thought I would try that too! It is a little plain for my taste, because I would have liked to have added flowers or sparkle! But I think ok for a boy!


Here is my entry:I used Create a Critter for the Dinosaur and the leaves. The Happy Birthday embossing folder and some colored string. The dino is embossing with the mosaic folder.

Ribbon and Bling!

Card Creations and more is having a challenge on using ribbon and bling.


I did challenge myself on this one because I did two things I normally do not do.

First I received an oval chipboard piece covered in Halloween paper with some bling on it from BonkDawn during a swap we had over at Serenity Scrappers and I loved how cute it was so I decided to do the same with my favorite pattern paper and bling. Then I used a ribbon that was a grayish color because I loved how it looked with the purple paper and it has wire in it.
So here it is!Cupcake is from Create a Critter

Always Crafting Challenge!

Stephanie at Always Crafting is having another Whimsical Wednesday challenge!

Here is the challenge:
For this weeks challenge I decided to use my new Mini Monsters Cartridge. The theme is a Halloween or Fall project.

I don't have the Mini Monsters so I used the PaperDoll Dress up to make this cutie Frankenstein!
I wanted to make him spooky but he was just came out to cute!

I used Doodle Charms for the spider and he is cut in vinyl to make him shiny!

I just picked up Glossy Accents! Yippee! So super easy to use! I traced around the spider webs and it gave them a shiny 3-d look! Martha Stewart Drippy goo punch, face stamp is Sizzix!

Creepy Halloween Card!

I love Halloween!! I made this creepy skeleton using Indie Art I first cut it in blackout then I cut the original image and popped it up so I could fill it with silver creepy skeleton heads! Drippy goo punch, and fun spider ribbon!

Here is what I put inside:



I am entering this into Cardz TV: Halloween Challenge!

My first REAL scrap-book page!!

So I have never actually made a scrap-book page for my family ((GASP)) I figured I would do it when my chickies leave me and I am sad and lonely then I scrap away remembering all the good times! But after seeing the excitement in my little one's eyes and voice when she believed a fairy came to visit I just had to make a page! So here it is! She LOVED it!! I have no place to put it so it is laid out on our table! She keeps starring at it! LOL!!


I used Create a Critter for the mushroom, Paper pups for the butterfly. I made the flower stick, and the rest is lots of punches, bling and cuteness!
You can check out the photos I will be using here!

Peace

My Chick's BFF asked if I could bling out her school notebook, so I said yes of course! But she wanted a peace sign.... I don't have any cartridge that has a peace sign so I made one using Accent Essentials for the circle and the letter l for the insides. I was able to just squeeze it into my cuttlebug for some embossing of swiss dots. Sorry for the glare the binder has a protective sheet over it! She loved it!

Then when I was out today I realized I had nothing with Peace on it and came across these great ribbons in the Wal-mart Clearance bin! Only $ .50!


And this fit perfect for the Crafty Hos' Challenge! 9/5 Theme Peace!

Why did I have so much time to craft today??!

It was a good crafting day!! Why?? This past week my little chick decided to make a house to try and catch a fairy! It kept her soooo busy! Here is her first design:



Well sometime last night a fairy did come to visit! She left fairy dust all over the glass table!

So today.... the fairy house needed a remodel! So she spent hours building the addition for the fairy!
Here is the finished house:
Isn't this so cute!! I cannot wait to scrap this and I don't even scrap-book!! LOL

Have a Moo-velous Day!!

I received this fun paper from a swap with a friend of mine and thought it was so cute and just in need of a cow!

Paper playtime: For Challenge #14 make a Card, Layout, 3-D Project or any other Paper Craft Project inspired by this theme: Old Mcdonald had a farm
