You are my sunshine...

We are loving that the sunshine came out...we were beginning to wonder if we would have a summer here in Idaho, or just a spring.

This card was done for my monthly card club...the theme was to use yellow and orange.  

The sun is cut from Create a Critter and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamp set Amusing Animals.

I hope you are having a sunshinny day!!

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....

A few cards....

  I know I've been missing in action a little lately, I am getting ready to bring baby #4 into our family.  In fact, my due date was yesterday and baby still hasn't arrived so I am getting a little anxious.  Hope baby decides to come soon.  In the meantime, I decided to take time off of preparing and do some creating yesterday. 

The above card was made for my son's Kindergarten teacher.  The apple is from Create a Critter and the stamps are from CTMH.  I used my peachy keen stamps for the apple's face.

The card below is for my monthly card club.  The theme was gratitude and I've been wanting to make a long card for a while.  Gypsy Wanderings has some really fun border cuts and I loved this dragonfly one.  The paper and stamps are from CTMH.  The little crystals are just from my stash.  I cut the 'cloud' from Just Because Cards!

I hope you enjoy my cards!  I hope to be back to regular crafting in not too much longer....I miss it when it doesn't come very often!

2 more challenges...

 I got a few more projects done while the kids were outside playing in the backyard!  Loving all of these challenges...it seems like that is the only time I get something done.

Challenge #4 is to create a Mother's Day theme.  I already have the cards made for Mother's Day but I needed to do something with these adorable pictures of my kids.  My kids really do bring me so much joy, love and bliss and I feel so lucky to have them!  I truly am blessed with great kids!!

 Challenge #7 was to do a scrapbook page!  Love this challenge...need so many more of these kind of challenges.  Used create a critter for all the cuts.  I cannot believe how much this kid has grown up!

I hope I can get a few more done tonight, if not, tomorrow it will be!  Hope you enjoy my kreations!

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!!!

This Stinks...

(sorry this picture really does stink...I need a new camera!)

I have a family member going through a hard time right now and wanted to make a card to help cheer them up.  I cannot even image the hardship and frustration she is going through. 

I hope this brings a little smile to her face!

The Cuttlebug Spot... Felt Challenge

Cooking with Cricut...Funny Pun
More than Favors-Wacky Wednesday...Something Funny

I cut the skunk from Create A Critter at 3.5".  The circle card is from Tags, Bags & More cut at 4.5" and the turquoise circle was from my scraps. I had the cute little felt flower in my stock of things to make hair bows with, but I think it fit the card way too well not to use it.

Cooking with Cricut...

Cooking with Cricut is having a Lion or Lamb challenge!  

On the inside, it says....It's your birthday!

This was created with Create a Critter.  The lion was cut at 3.5".  My little nephew will love it.

Projects...

 

My house was seriously lacking some St. Patrick's Day green, so I decided to throw something together. The LUCKY was cut from Printing Press on my gypsy at 1 inch.

I have so many friends having babies in the near future (or already did) that I needed a cute gift for them.  My friend was saying how much she loves diapers for burp clothes so I thought, why not make them CUTE!  I loved how they turned out.  Each shape was cut at 5" using Create a Critter, Boys will be Boys or Plantin Schoolbook!  

Enjoy your weekend!!

Beary fun :)....

Smile...

Wow, I really struggled with this card.  I wanted to use a cartridge cut that I hadn't ever used and didn't know if I would really ever use it.  So, I tried the hedgehog.  

Boy, this was a hard card to make.  

I was doing it for the Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge over at Two Scraptastic Gals.

For having such a HARD time with this card, I think it turned out pretty cute!
