Momo's Tuesday Challenge-"Just Because" card

Today's post is for the Tuesday Challenge for Made by Momo!!  The challenge was to make and send a "Just Because" card.  I just made this simple card.  No cricut at all...Just a little scrap paper, a pretty punch, and a little ribbon!  I have had this stamp for a while and never used it.  Finally, I found the perfect card to use it for!!

Throwback Thursday Challenge-Spider Card

I'm back today with my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!  The only rules were to used an older cartridge of your choice!!  I used the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge for this card.  The little spider is just too cute.  I love this cartridge because you don't have to use the dolls on it!  There are so many other images that can be used alone!  I used the K & Company Spooktacular paper stack, along with the purple polka dot paper from Hobby Lobby.  I added the googly eyes to the spider! Doesn't he just look adorable...Finally, I used my white gel pen to outline his smile lines! 

Have a great day!!

Halloween Hairbows!!

Hi Everyone!!

Fall is in the air!!  I've been thinking alot about Halloween lately.  And my sis-in-law asked me to make a hair bow for her little girl for Halloween.  So I jumped all over it! lol  I have two little girls of my own and I LOVE making hair bows!  Here is what I came up with!  Hope you like them!

I usually post cards but since my blog name does include "PIGTAILS", I like to include some different posts every now and then! My next Halloween venture is "trying" to make personalized trick-or-treat bags using the" freezer paper" method. I will try to do a tutorial post on it!! I bought the materials I need yesterday and have been itching to get started, but couldn't find the time today...So hopefully I can have that up within the next week or so!!!

Live Simply card...Cute deer!!

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying a great Sunday!!  Me and my girls are having a great day at home!!  Just enjoying being at home together!

This cutie of a card was made using the Live Simply Lite cartridge...I didn't make this card for anyone particular but I love!  I felt really inspired today for some reason and this is what I came up with.  Both the frame and fawn are from the Live Simply cart.  The green mat for the frame was embossed with the Bloom Dots cuttlebug folder. I used my White Sakura gel pen to add the stitching and dots, and also to add the white parts of the fawns eye.  I have had this cartridge for a while and never really used it but there are some great little critters on it.  I will definitely be using it more often!!

A BOY CARD!! Yay!

Hi Everyone!!

So I don't do many boy cards!!  I have two daughters,  4 nieces, and only 2 nephews...So needless to say I mostly do girl themes.  But my oldest nephews birthday is coming up so I decided to try a boy card out!  This car was cut from the Graphically Speaking cartridge...I used yellow Stickles for the headlights to give them a little something.  I love the colors and how the card came out.

So, a new Joann's opened nearby and I went this morning to check it out!!  They had their DCWV 12x12 paper stacks for 50% off!  Great deal!  So I picked up Nana's Kids and the Citrus stack...I can't wait to use them!!  I think I officially have an addiction to paper!  Last week Michaels had their paper on sale too, so I got a K & Company Spooktacular halloween paper pad and the Autumn Splendor (can't remember the brand on that one)  Well anyway, I have lots of new paper to create with!!  So watch out for new postings very soon!!

Girls Rule!!

Hello Everyone!!

I hope everyone is having a great day!!  I just got the Cricut Lite cart "Slumber Party"!!  It's too cute!!  I made this cut card while my 14 month old was napping!!  I cut the cellphone and all layers at 3 3/4 inches.  I didn't add the little numbers on the button, they were way too tiny!!  This paper stack is from Big Lots...Only $5 for a HUGE stack.  I love the colors and patterns in it.  Can't remember the name of it though, lol.  I thought this would be a cute card for a pre-teen!!  It has such fun colors and of course the cell phone!!  Just wanted to share my newest card creation!!  Hope you like it!!
