Paws-Itively The Best

If you are looking for the Whimsical Wednesday Post, please see post below!









Hello everyone! MY IMAGINE CAME HOME!!! YAY!!! I am happy to say that my Imagine is back and in perfect working order. I couldn't wait to start creating with it!!! :) So here is the card that I made for several challenges. I printed and cut the phrase, mat, background square, and dog from Imagine More. I added Glossy Accents to the phrase and dogs teeth and added a gold brad to the dogs collar. I also did some inking around the images and highlighting with a black pen and pop dotted the dog and phrase. To finish I stamped the sentiment and tied twine around the card. I am going to enter this into the follwing challenges:

1. Creative Critterz Imaginations- Fathers Day Imagine Challenge

2. My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #11- Tie It On, use ribbon or twine on your project

3. Fantabulous Cricut- #1 Dad, made something special for Dad


Funny Father's Day Card

















Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Whimsical Wednesdays! This week the challenge is Fathers Day. I think this card is so funny and I made it with my Dad in mind so it makes it more funny for me so you'll have to bear with me! :)


For the card base, I used a card from Smiley Cards cut at 10 inches high and 1/4 inch smaller for the card mat. The skunk was cut from Camping Critters at 3.5 inches and I stamped the sentiment which is from Scrappy Mom's Furry Friends set. The "Dad" was also stamped from a set from Michaels. For the inside of the card I printed the (but don't forget to spray) off my computer and stamped the Happy Fathers Day. The frog I cut at 2 inches and omitted the flies in that cut. Hopefully some of you will think this is kind of funny because when I showed it to my 18 year old son, he looked at me like I fell of my rocker!


This week our sponsor is Joy from Joy's Life! One random winner will win the stamp set called Your So Punny. Clich here to visit Joy's product page.Thanks Joy!

I sure hope that you will give this challenge a try and I can't wait to see what you'll create! Have a great day!

Celebrate The Occasion Fathers Day Card




Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Celebrate The Occasion! This week the challenge is Fathers Day. I just got Car Decals and knew that I wanted to cut this cool golf cart out. I cut the golf cart at 2.5 inches in 3 layers. A black, white, and gray. I then trimmed around each piece until it layered the way I wanted. The golfer was also cut at 2.5 inches. I used my Gypsy to hide all the cuts on him so I just had a blackout and cut that out of the striped pattern paper. I then cut the black outline and a flesh colored face. For the background I just rounded a piece of green for the hill and to finish I added a bow and stamped the sentiment. I hope you will play along this week at Celebrate The Occasion and I can't wait to see what you'll create! Have a great day!

Bug Bites Bug Hop Challenge




Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made For BugBites Grillin N Chillin Bug Hop Challenge #2. For the challenge you must include a Cricut cut and a hidden bug found on the hop. When I think of summer and "chillin" I think of the beach. So this is the card that I created. I cut the girl from Twinkle Toes at 3.5 inches. I cut her leatard and then trimmed around the arms to get her swimsuit. For the tube I used the tube from the image on pg. 40 of Pack Your Bags. I copied it, flipped the second one and welded them together to get the whole tube. I just then needed to trim off the bottom where the shorts were. I also stamped her face with a Peachy Keen stamp, added glossy Accents to the tube, and penned in her flip flops. The beach scene was cut from Pack Your Bags at approximatley 5 inches that I stretched. I added Glossy Accents to the waves and highlighted them with a white pen. The crab was also cut from PYB's at .5 inches. And finally for my BUG...do you see it? I added a ladybug to the pail. I used a hole punch for the body and drew in the head and spots with a black pen and added Glossy Accents to it. I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

Hello Friend




Happy Saturday everyone! Here is a card that I made for fun. I made the card in my Gypsy by welding 2 tags from Once Upon A Princess to both sides of a square from George and Basic Shapes. I also cut 2 smaller tags for the mat. The snail was printed and cut at 2 inches from Imagine More Cards and I pop dotted his body. To finish I added a bow and stamped the sentiment from a $1 stamp from Michaels. I hope to have my Imagine back soon because I am running out of the things that I printed and cut before I sent it back. :) Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Fiesta Shower Invitations




Hello everyone! Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. I have been going to baseball games everyday and I am proud to say that my son's baseball team won Regionals and are now headed to Sectionals! And if they win there then they're headed to state! I have also been working on these invitations for my sisters bridal shower. I did a pocket card and a sombrero pull on the inside. I didn't have a sombrero cut in any of my carts so I made this one using the sailor hat and pilgrim hat from Paper Doll Dress Up. I then cut all the strips and triangles by hand and glued them to the hat. The font is from Robots. I hope to get some projects finished soon and will post them later. I hope you all are having a great day!
