Now onto my card that 

I have  made to enter into a few challenges

So sorry about the poor picture,

I am having the HARDEST time taking decent pictures lately!!!

Anyways......

I started out making this card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge

using the sketch from Retro Sketches

I designed the whole LO in the Silhouette Studio using the adorable apples

from one of my cut files from A Snapdragon Snippets

After cutting the apple and all the layer out 3 times I stamped each one with a 

different Peachy Keen Stamps face from the Simple Sallies Face Assortment

Added some glossy accents to the cuties with the glasses

and white gel pen to the eyes and mouth and some extra doodles on the stem

The sentiment is from My Creative Time~My Teacher Rocks!

stamp set that I heat embossed using Creative Inspiration Paint 

White Embossing Powder on the stitched circle die also from

My Creative Time.

With a little stitching up both sides of the designer paper

and the apples on Action Wobbles

(how fitting I thought especially with the adorable sentiment)

I have a cute Teacher's card.

What do you think???

Off to get the kiddo's ready for school!

Have a GREAT day and thanks for stopping by!!

Here is the card  I made....

I used the adorable 
Fly Away With Me Stickerz

and added paper from DCVW~ Nana's Kids
to the balloon.
I then cut the whole balloon out
and attached it with the action wobble to the back

For the basket, I used one of the other balloon's basket

(whoops...made a mistake and thankfully had another one)

Cut that out and attacked it to Kraft cardstock

then used 

Trendy Twine in Black Licorice

to add some texture and dimension.

So what do you think??

Boo!! Halloween Challenge Card

Good Morning Everyone!!

I am suffering the beginning of a cold and feeling not so great so I am posting this then going to rest for a while till the kiddo's get home and the afternoon of chaos begins!

For my card today I used this weeks challenge sketch over at

Fetch a Sketch

Here is my take on that sketch

My card base is from Stretch Your Imagination

The Paper is from Bo Bunny

I used George and Basic Shapes for the circle and rectangle cuts

That adorable monster is from Mini Monsters

I attached googly eyes and put him on an action wobble...to cute to spook for sure :)

For my sentiment I used some metal letters I had in my stash and hot glue gunned them in place

All the edges were inked with Tim Holtz ink.

For the inside (since this is double sided paper) I cut the card base slightly smaller in white and attached it.

That way I can write my message inside.

I am entering this into the following Challenges:

My Creative Time~ Throwback Thursday

Fetch a Sketch~ Challenge #9

Tinker Planet~WCMD

Fantabulous Cricut~#82 Challenge Me Monday

Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow :)



~~Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Day~~

Good Morning Everyone!

It is time again for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!!

This week both card team have come together for our challenge, to make get well cards for a very special little boy. Angelo, who is the grandson of Margie from Bella Bug Creations, is going through a very difficult time right now. He underwent brain surgery last week and will begin chemotherapy next week. You can read more about Angelo at this post over at Margie's blog http://bellabugcreations.blogspot.com/2011/06/angelo.html. We hope that you will all join us and make a card for Angelo too.

Angelo is such a sweet little boy and I know he will LOVE all the Get Well Cards we send him.

For my card I used the Create a Critter Cartridge for the cute Whale.

He was cute at 3".

His body was embossed with my cuttlebug for alittle texture.

I then attached him with an Action Wobble...he looks like he is swimming :)

The sentiment was computer generated by me.

I added eyelets to the corners as well as to the sentiment and then threaded some ribbon through the two on the sentiment.

I hope Angelo likes this and can't wait to bring alittle happiness to his cute face!

Please join us this week over at Whimsical Wednesdays for this weeks challenge and put a smile on a little boys face!



You're a real Fun-gi

Hi Blogger friends!
I have been so busy today...cleaning and sorting through the mass amount of stuff in my craft area. I have not cleaned it really well in a long time and it was much overdue!
I have gotten so much done...organized all my designer papers by brand, organized all my embellishments into their RIGHT containers :)
Put all my scrap pattern paper in one container and scrap colored paper in another container.
Cleaned up all my ribbon...I really need a ribbon carousel (hint, hint Chris..if you are reading this)
As well as made a list of upcoming projects and blog hops that I am participating in. I have lots of work to do :)
The good news with all of this is I found lots I didn't know I had, forget where they were and TONS of extras for some giveaways :)
In between all of that I made a cute male card. During my recent trip to the stamp store I found this really cute unity stamp with the "You're a real fun-gi" sentiment and a cute mushroom stamp.
I used the sentiment and will save the stamp for another project because I wanted to use an action wobble. I cut the mushroom from Simply Charmed at 3.5", the shadow at 3.75" and the matching layer at 3.5". Using my gypsy I removed the cut face and added the super cute face from PKS.  You can't see in the picture but the mushroom wobbles and I am just in love with how cute this came out! The card is pretty simple which I like and the wobble just makes it! I hope you agree :)
Don't forget to come back tomorrow to see my new DT project over at Whimsical Wednesday. I can't wait to share it!
Hope you all have a GREAT rest of your day.
