Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #99

Yep, it is that time again...time for another fun challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut! I just love when I can find time to play along with their challenges. I think it was the first challenge blog I ever entered one of my projects into. This week the challenge is called "Fancy Trim" Use fabric, lace, or other trims on your project.

I decided to make another card this time using Forever Young cartridge for my hat cutting it at 3 inches. I then inked the edges and added a bit of bling.

 On the front of the card I added a border with my Martha Stewart punch then added to rows of lace.

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot the stampt set is called Friends and Neighbors Inside and Out.  I hope you have enjoyed today's project. Thanks for stopping bye.

Happy Everything!

When we were growing up as kids we had so many wonderful  pets, everything from birds, rabbits, cats, dogs and even a pig named Petuna.

This weeks challenge over at Paper Playtime "Say it with a Sentiment Challenge" is to use a image of a animal along with a sentiment.

With Easter just around the corner I decided on this cute little bunny cut from Cricut lite Four Legged Friends.

 All papers used were just from my scrap bucket. I inked around the edges and popped my bunny up on a few pop up for dimension and used this darling sentiment, Happy Everything!

I am also going to enter this card over at CardzTV: this weeks challenge "Anything Goes"

As always thanks for stopping bye and hope you have a great weekend!

BRRRR! Baby it's Cold Outside!

Today I have another 12 X 12 layout for you following another wonderful sketch that I found over at Colourful Creations.

This is the sketch for challenge #4, and here is my take on it!

I used Stretch Your Imagination for the snowman cut, this is not one of my favorite cartridges, but since I had made a promise to myself to use all my cartridges this year I thought this would be a good time to get this one out of the way, since I needed something very tall and skinny for the side of the page!

 I added black Buttons Brads for his eyes and mouth and used a shinny hot pink glimmer paper for the top hat and scarf to match my granddaughter Katie's winter coat.

Both the title and snowflakes were cut from Winter Woodland, I then added blue glitter to my snowflakes and put a  snowflake brad in the middle.

This picture is from last year when it never seemed to stop snowing. We had no where to put the white stuff by the end of winter, we have pictures showing the snow banks as tall as my daughter. I was never so glad to see a winter come to a end as I was then! But I must admit..it makes good scrapbooking pages!!!!

I am also going to enter this layout in the challenge over at Frosted Designs: This weeks challenge is to use Brads.

Next challenge is for Getting Scrappy Challenge

This weeks challenge is for the love of Bling!

As always my Crafty friends, thanks for stopping bye and leaving me some love...your comments really do inspire me to keep on creating. Have a great week!

Cooking With Cricut Birthday Challenge #74

This weeks challenge over at  Cooking with Cricut is a Birthday theme. For my project I decided to dig out my Birthday Bash Cartridge and blow off the dust! I cannot remember when I bought it, but it is the first time I have used it. What a great cartridge this is, just filled with cute little birthday cuts.

 My project today is another 12X12 layout.

 The paper is just something I picked up at the Dollar Store last year, because I love the way it glitters.

 Part of the challenge was to add a cake, balloons or cupcakes. Well my paper has the cupcakes so I decided to add the balloons and then of course I decided to keep on going and added a few more cuts.

This is a picture of my Baby sisters granddaughter. I know it looks like a Christmas pictured but really it is her 3rd Birthday which we just celebrated this year. So thats my project for today, make sure you head over to Cooking with Cricut and check out what the rest of the design team has cooked up this week. Thanks for stopping in and leaving me some love.

Stair Step Birthday Card

Welcome my Crafty friends. Today I have decided to make a Stair Step card for a couple of really cool challenges going on right now. I love when a can take one project and work my magic and have it work for more then one. It does take a lot of thought but I am always so happy with the end results!

So it all started with a new Challenge Blog called Krafty Girls, their challenge this week is called Home Sweet Home, create a project based on a country, state, city or town. While I am from Canada, so my little Beaver is carry a Canadian Flag on his way to work. In Alberta we have lots of forest and mountains and the Beaver is our animal symbol and also on the back of our nickle.

The next challenge is for Birthday Sundays they have challenged us to make a Stair Step card. I must admit I do love this shape card it is one of my favorites. Next is CardzTV their challenge is a Stitch in Time. Use faux Sticthing along with any cartridge and colours.

The Beaver and trees were cut from Camping Critters, the sun was from Phooh and Friends and the mountains were from Everyday Dress up Dolls. As always thanks for stopping in and leaving me some love. Your comments really do make my day.

Your Friendship Warms My Heart!

Hello my Crafty friends, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend ! Today I am so happy to be a guest designer for My Sheri Crafts. I was tickled pink when asked if I would like to take part in this weeks challenge which is called " Warm Wishes"

For today's project I decided to make a card for my Bestie!

Isn't this just the cutest SVG ever? I purchased it from Treasure Box Designs last year. The SVG is part of the Xmas Village set called Cocoa Cafe. 

All the papers were from my scrap bucket, I tried only to pick out warm and rich colours to go along with the theme of the challenge. I then inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Ink, put it all together and added a few pop up dots to give it some dimension. The stamp is from a old set of stampin up stamps. I used a Martha Stewart punch for a little added decoration and just like that I have a sweet little card to give to my BFF if she ever gets back from vacation! As always thanks for stopping bye, have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to pop over to My Sheri Crafts and join in the challenge.

I am also going to enter this card over at Fantabulous Cricut. There challenge this week is fun with puns.
