Create a Critter #45---Busy as a Bee

Hi Bloggers!

I have been busy...as a bee...hehehe crafting today.

I have a bunch of upcoming projects due that I am trying to get a jump on.

Also trying to catch up with the Create a Critter series over at Love that Bug.

Today's card is the bee, bee hive and tree from the cartridge.

Another very simple card and easy to put together.

Hope you like my card.

Now off to get the kiddo's.

We are playing ball tonight!! The first game in weeks. With all the rain we have been having the fields have been too wet to play.

See you all later :)

6 Baby Cards---Using Bugaboo Stamps

Hi Bloggers!
I am going to try and get this post completed before the power goes out here....There is a HUGE thunderstorm moving very fast into the area.
I had these super cute Bugaboo stamps that were perfect baby card images. Also some paper that I picked up on clearance that has been waiting for the perfect image.
Light bulb...hehehe...I decided to make some very simple baby cards.
I do not know of anyone who is having a baby but just felt like making some cards.
So I took the two images and 3 different designer papers and made some A2's.
The images are colored with my copics and I added some buttons, ribbon, twine and gel pen stitching for extra details.
The great thing about these cards is I have enough paper left over to make 2 more of each card.
I don't like wasting paper and my scrap pile is growing daily so using as much as I can from a page is the best.
I hope you like my very simple, easy baby cards. Now I just have to find someone who is having a baby :)
Thanks for stopping by....see you all tomorrow

Create a Critter #38---"Sweet" Card that is so "Stinkin" Cute

Good Morning Bloggers!

I have a quick post for right now....my son is calling me to come play Lego Star Wars with him :)

This is my card for the Create a Critter Series over at Love that Bug.

Isn't this skunk so "stinkin" cute....sorry it was an easy one!

This again is using all scraps and my white gel pen. That's it...an easy card!

Create a Critter #39---Yes I am Going Backwards :)

 Hi Bloggers! I am continuing my Create a Critter cards for the

Love That Bug Challenge and here is my card for today. This is card #39 and if you have been by the last few days I am going backwards...I am trying to make as many cards as I can before the series is up which is coming really soon.

This card is with the Hedgehog, flowers, ladybug and phase which is a flower and circle. I used paper from my scrap pile which happens to be recollection and kraft paper for the card base.

I did add sparkly brads to the center of the flowers and one layer on each flower is popped up with foam dots.

White gel pen stitching and a stamped sentiment

I so love how this card turned out. Very girlie which I like.
In Stacy's series she does not use stamps but I did add a stamped birthday sentiment which is perfect for a little girl. The stamp is from My Pink Stamper- Pink-alicious set.
So this card will be entered into the following challenges:
Love that Bug- Create a Critter #39
Claudia & Company- Challenge #82- Girls Birthday

I hope you like my card....see you all tomorrow
