Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge

Hello Again!!

I'm back with a 2-page layout!!  I made this layout for the Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge #11.  The challenge is to create a project using the Forever Young cartridge! Well I don't own that cartridge so I chose to use the Slumber Party Lite cartridge!  I love this cartridge! The pajamas, teddy bear, and slippers were cut from that cart...And the "Sweetheart" title is from Once Upon a Princess.  I distressed all the elements of the page with Walnut Stain Distress Ink!  I made the little rosette flowers with the tutorial from Creations with Christina HERE!  I think this is my favorite layout to date!!  It took me 3 hours!! So I put alot of work and planning into it!!  I will eventually add some cute pics of my girls in their jammies and add journaling also...Enjoy and tell me what you think!!!

100th Post!!! And Wacky Wednesday Challenge

Hello Again!!

I hope everyone is having a great day!!  I have a headache this morning!! UGH! I wanted to get some more Spring cleaning done this morning but I took some meds and hopefully I can start soon!!

So this is my 100th post!!  Wow!  I love posting my projects for you all to see!!

This card was made for the Wacky Wednesday Challenge over at More Than Favors.  The challenge is to create a "Manly" project.  I've had this "Father" stamp set for a while and decided to put it to use!!  I stamped the image with a Walnut colored ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder!!  I love how this card turned out!!  Can't wait to give it to my Dad for Father's Day!!



Throwback Thursday Challenge-Green

Hello Everyone!!

Today's post is my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge...The challenge is to create a project using the color "green".  I used the Mini Monograms cartridge for the title.  I made this layout of my girls playing together on different occasions!!  It turned out simple but cute!!

Creations with Christina- Scrapbook Challenge and Crafting with Christina-Companion Challenge- Pink, Orange, and White

Hi Again!!

Cristina from Crafting with Cristina is having another Companion Challenge!!  And since I haven't entered anything in quite a while, I thought I would see what I could come up with!!  The challenge is to create a project using hot pink, orange, and white.  I immediately thought of something summer themed!!  Since its not Summer yet, I made a pre-made layout...I will insert pictures and journaling later!  I love how this layout turned out.  Let me know what you think!!

 I also entered this layout in Creations with Christina's Scrapbook Challenge for March!!

Tractor Invitations and Party Decor

Hi Again!!

I've been in my craft room alot this past week!! My nephew is turning 2 and I was asked to make 30 party invitations!! They are planning a "John Deere" theme!! How cute, right? Perfect for a little boy!! I also made a personalized banner and 2 larger tractors just to go with the theme!! I used the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge for the tractor and Doodlecharms for the sun. Hope you like them...:)

"Tall" Birthday Card

Hi again!!

The post for today is a birthday card!!  I love making birthday cards!!  They are sooo fun!  So, my sister-in-laws birthday is this week...I wanted to make her a card, of course!!  I recently picked up the Playtime Stack from DCWV.  It is printed on craft cardstock!!  Love this stack!! It is adorable...So I had to use it for this card.

I used the little present cut from the Stamping cartridge.  I love the craft cardstock combined with the patterend paper.  Its so muted yet sooo cute at the same time!!  Hope you like it!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Country Life card

Hello Everyone!!

Well it's finally March!!  Spring is coming and I am sooo ready!!

I have had the Country Life cartridge for a while now and only used it once, so I figured I would pull it out and give it a whirl!!

The stamped sentiment is from My Pink Stamper...And for the embossing I used the Houndstooth cuttlebug folder!!  I did stamp the sentiment a little crooked but oh well, it's handmade right?
