MTF Wacky Wednesday #24





Good afternoon all! I made this card for More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday challenge. The challenge this week was a color challenge....blue, yellow, and white. I cut the onesie from B is for Boy at 2.5 inches. I added 3 eyelets to the bottom and also used a white gel pen for the ribbing on the arms, legs, and collar. I used a pin and turned my mouse pad upside down and pierced the paper for the stitch marks on the duck and layered mat. You can't tell from the picture but I added Glossy Accents to the duck to give it some shine. I tied a ribbon and bow and added a framed stamped sentiment. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Kiss Me!








Happy Thursday everyone! Here is a card that I did for several challenges. I cut the frog from Sweethearts( I just got this cart from Cricutmachine for only $13.95!) I didn't need the whole frog so I cut off his body and did some chalking and penning to him. For the crown and sentiment I added some white gel pen and some jems. For his lips I punched a heart and rounded the bottom...it looks a little funny but you get the idea! LOL! I am entering this into the following challenges:

Celebrate The Occasion Launch





I have a secret that I can finally tell you all! I am on the Design Team for a new challenge blog called Celebrate The Occasion and this is my first DT project! This new challenge blog is a weekly challenge that has to do with any kind of celebration. For this challenge it is Anything Goes Birthday. You can create anything that you like with any supplies that you want... Cricut, stamping, anything. I hope you all will check it out because I think it will be LOTS of FUN!
For my project I chose to do a pocket card. This is the first one I have ever done and it was alot of fun to create. I started with a 4 1/8 X 11 inch piece of cardstock folded in half. Then I unfolded the paper and cut 1 inch off one side...it doesn't matter which side and I kept that piece to use later. Fold back open and glue along the outside edges, fold back together, and you have a pocket. For the inside I welded the 4 inch mouse in the box from Birthday Bash to a 3.5 X 4.5 inch rectangle from George. I cut all the layers at 4 inches except the box layer for the mouse which I didn't use. I then cut a white piece for the inside card and stamped the Happy Birthday. To finish the card I added a piece of poka dot paper with ribbon wrapped around each side and tied a tag with a stamped sentiment around the ribbon. I also added that 1 inch strip of paper to the top ot the pocket with pop dots. I hope you all enjoyed seeing my project and I hope you will all go check out Celerate The Occasion challenge blog and participate. Have a great day!
P.S. They are giving away Simply Charmed! All you have to do is become a follower and leave a comment!

Cricut Cardz #59 Childs Valentine








Happy Sunday all! Before I get to my post I was just wondering if you all had seen the new products coming out at CHA this weekend? A NEW CRICUT EXPRESSION 2? That cuts both Cricut AND Imagine cartridges!!! I just want to say....I'm in trouble! :) LOL! There are so many cute Imagine carts that I have been jealous not to be able to use...but now??? Anyway, on to my post.
I made another one of these candy box's! They are so fun to make and SO darn cute! If you haven't seen my other one, you can find it HERE along with where to find the tutorial. This time I decided to make the box a little bigger in order to fill it with more goodies. I cut the scallop hearts from Twinkle Toes and 5 inches along with the layered heart which I ran through my Cuttlebug. I cut the elephant from Birthday Bash at 3 inches, stamped the sentiment, and tied a ribbon around the box. I am entering this into Cricut Cardz Challenge which is to make a childs Valentine. I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

Tweethearts!











Hi everyone! How cute is this card? These would make the cutest Valentines for kids to hand out. For my card I did a Treat Box Card. I found the tutorial HERE with the printable template...although the template is NOT accurate. You still have to follow the directions from the tutorial. And DON'T forget to add the acetate BEFORE you assemble the box....like I did the first time around! LOL! I didn't have the punch they called for so I just cut a rectangle using an Xacto knife and ruler and I filled the box with some M&M's. For the card part I cut the branch (pg.43) and birds (pg.28) from Straight From The Nest and glued on hearts to the tree branch's cut from George to the flowers. The Tweethearts (pg.71) was also cut from SFTN but I welded the S from Once Upon A Princess. I added the bowtie and flower to the birds and those are from Create A Critter. To finish the inside of the card I cut a frame from Storybook and stamped the sentiment. I am going to enter this into Card Creations & More By C's So Saturday Challenge #2 which is anything Valentine related. Have a great night everyone!

Wacky Wednesday #23


Hi everyone! Here is the card that I did for More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday challenge. This weeks challenge is a color challenge. Brown, green, and pink. So this is what I came up with. I cut the racoon from Create A Critter at 3 inches and the tag was also cut from CAC at 1 inch and .75 inches. The top layer of my card I embossed with the Sizzix Flower Vine folder and to finish I tied a ribbon around it. I hope you all are having a great day! Only one more to go until the weekend! :)
