Celebrating the Occasion Challenge #16

Hi everyone!  

I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #16 is up and it was a great one---Happy Birthday~must have a party hat!!  

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!  I cannot wait to see what you create!

Loved this challenge!  I had the Amusing Animals stamp set from Scrappy Mom's Stamp for quite some time and didn't know when I was going to get to use this particular sentiment.  I have a few friends having birthday's in July and one of them is a dog lover...figured what better way to wish her happy birthday than with a poodle card!  Hope she likes it!

The poodle is cut from Create a Critter at 3". I only used the 2 layers because I wanted to use my Peachy Keen Stamps for the face. Once again, the sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Stamp.

Happy Creating....

Be impressed :)....

 Wow, I got a card and a layout done on the same day!  Are you impressed?

You should be :)....I am!!!

 The above card is for my Mom for Mother's Day.  I had 3 brothers and my husband who served 2-year LDS mission in Russia so the little doll holds a special place in all our hearts.  

I have wanted to do something fun with it since I got the Paisley cartridge so this is the occasion!  

I love how it turned out.

Peachy Keen Stamps--Let's Face it Friday challenge

Cricut Cardz Challenge--Mother's Day 

I have said it before and I will say it again, but I love when I can do a layout for a challenge.  These pictures were taken so randomly and I just love the way they turned out.  We had to sell our bunnies and I was so sad, we are trying to figure out how we can get some more!!

Fantabulous Cricut--bunny

Hope you enjoyed my take on the challenges!!

The Russian Doll is cut at 4.5" from the Paisley cartridge.

The bunny is cut from Just Because Cards and the flourish is from Gypsy Wanderings cut at 4".

Spring Showers and invites!

 Once again, I had another few pictures I had been putting off putting onto a page, but decided I wanted to do them for a few of the challenges out there right now.  I need some extra suggestions on scrapbook page challenges, anyone know good sites?  Most of the ones I follow are for cards.

Die Cuttin Divas was having a sketch challenge and that is where my inspiration came from.

Fantabulous Cricut is having a April showers challenge

Cooking with Cricut is also having a April showers challenge

No better way to celebrate April showers than with jumping in the puddles they make!!

I used Plantin Schoolbook for the words, cut at 1', paisley for the umbrella cut at 3' and India art for the rain drops. The paper is from CTMH.

My Little Lady is turning 2 at the end of this month and this is the invitation to her little party! 

I love how they turned out and look just like the birthday plates I found!

Love my cricut, gypsy and Peachy Keen stamps!!

Lady bug is from Create a Critter, cut at 5', took out the contours of the face and stamped my own!

Have a great and happy weekend!!!
