Mojo Monday Challenge #230

This is my entry for this weeks Mojo Monday Contest. I was digging through my Stampin Up stamps just for kicks and grins and came to this great set called clowning around. I loved it when I bought it, but think I've only used it once or twice. I still love it just as much now. It's bold and fun and screams...."color me"!

Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge - 3D

Okay, this project is for the Peachy Keen 3-D Challenge. The challenge is to make a 3-D project using Peachy Keen stamps (easy enough), but the kicker for me was to make a weather theme. Now I've been kicking around this project for about a week...I'm getting a head start on Easter. In our house we go through Crystal Light and Wylie's Sugar free juices like they're going out of style. I mean, seriously, we should own stock! And I have all of these left over containers and I never know what to do with them, but, of course, I save them, you know, just in case. So here is my recycled version of an easter basket/container for treats (or peeps)!
I used the Create a Critter for the chick, sun and clouds, Doodle Charms for the eggs, and Plantin Schoolbook for the grass. And of course I used the Cuttlebug for textures. Wish me luck, I want to win this one!

"Chair"ish Card


I got the new Cricut Lite Love you a latte cartridge and I'm sooooo jazzed about it. There are sooo many great cuts on it. This card is for my girlfriend Shannon's birthday, the big day is Saturday. Happy Birthday my dear friend!

Challenge Me Monday - Fantabulous Cricut

I designed this card for Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut web site. I'll post the link below. The challenge this week is to use ribbon in your work, which I didn't think I did much, but in looking back at some of my cards, I use ribbon more often than I thought. This web site gets me excited about the cricut every time I log on! I absolutely love these women!

So back to the card, I made it using the cartridge Stand and Salute. It is one of my faves. There really is so much versatility to it. I see something new everytime I look through the book.

Here's the web page if you want to check it out!

Sweatheart Round-up


This is my MOJO Monday entry. I went to the craft store this weekend (well, of course I went to the craft store) and found this amazingly adorable pink paisley paper! I had to do something with it, right? Sooooo, here it is! The paper is Heidi Grace Designs and the boot is from Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge and the HOWDY comes from an old stampin up set I have called Cowboy Kid.

Birthday Sundae challenge

Birthday Sundaes is having a challenge this week and I'm entering this card in it. I love this little giraffe from Create a Critter! And the stamp is from Stampin' Up. I'm totally addicted right now to making cards. And loving every minute.
