"Together is the Nicest Place to Be"~~ LadyBug Card

Hi bloggers!!

What a busy day it has been here. The weather was beautiful so my husband and I got tons done outside. Unfortunately for me...alittle too much sun :(

My sunburned shoulders will not be happy with me tomorrow.

I did put together this card for the BugBites~ Grillin' and Chillin Bug Hop Part 2.

I cut the ladybugs from Create a Critter and used my Unity Stamp for the sentiment.

Hope you like my card.

Have a GREAT night :)

Bug Bites~~ Bug Hop project and Last day to Bug Hop

Good Morning Bloggers!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day long weekend and spending time with family and friends and grilling yummy summer food!

For my Paper Playtime DT post, scroll down or click here.

Today is the last day for the Grillin' & Chillin' Bug Hop hosted by Barb over at BugBites.

If you want to join in check out my post here. There is yummy candy to be won at all the blogs so make sure you check them all out! You have until tonight to comment on my post from Saturday, link here, to win my candy :) I will draw a winner tomorrow!

There is also a challenge at BugBites that my card for today is being entered into.

The challenge is to make a project with the hidden bug from the hop.

This is a simple A2 card with the scrap paper from my caddy that I did for this hop.

The ants are a SVG free file from SVGcuts.com and the sentiment is from Block Party.

The sentiment is cut at 3" and the ants at 1".

The ants are attached up on foam dots and the sentiment has some simple gel pen details.

Again a very simple card but so cute!

Have a GREAT day and see you all later!

Grillin' & Chillin' Bug Hop!!

Welcome to BugBites first ever Bug Hop, Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop!  

To celebrate the beginning of summer, Barb over at BugBites is hosting two consecutive weekends of Bug Hops.

This weekend it is all about the Grillin’, May 28-30.

If you've come from visiting Amber at Pixi Perfect Creations you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Grillin’ & Chillin’ Bug Hop, click HERE to start from the beginning.

Each designer along the bug trail is featuring a project based on the Grillin’ & Chillin’ theme. What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at BugBites for a chance to win a Big Prize.

But, there’s a twist. Your project must included at least one Cricut cut and at least one of the critters that have been hidden within some of the bug stop blogs.

Be sure to visit all the bug stops to find all your critter choices.

While you are looking for the critters, be sure to check out the blog candy that each designer has to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!

For my project I made a must have caddy for all your BBQ's

This is a 4pk root beer container that I covered with red checkered paper. Fun and easy right?!?

I inked the edges with fire brick ink.

The sentiment was made with SCAL and I welded the letters.

The Grill is also an SVG file cut with SCAL. I "hung" the utensils with brads and added alittle extras with my gel pen.

I also made an invite to a BBQ

I just got the Block Party lite cart and this cute burger and sentiment was on it along with other summer BBQ images.

I used the same paper as the caddy for the matting of this A2 card.

I dug through my stamp collection and mixed and matched to get the stamped image.

If I do say so myself....I really like this card. Makes me want to have a BBQ and invite you all :)
