My Paper Crafting Challenge-Pink!

Hello my crafty friends, happy hump day to all!!  As you know if it is Wednesday that means it is a Cricut challenge over at My Paper Crafting.  Our challenge this week is PINK. I love pink, yes I'm a pink kind of girl, after living with 7 males in my house, I need my pink. lol  Actually I love all colors but am very font of pink.  So I made a little 3x3 card using a pink card base, I know it doesn't look pink in the picture but I assure you that it is, I guess my flash washed out the pink color.  It is kinda pearly paper, very pretty in person. I love this size card to grab quickly when you may need a little card for a gift or gift bag.  I put Hello Kitty with her little friend in the center of the card and stamped my border and  sentiment. When I think of pink, Hello Kitty comes to mind. lol  Go to My Paper Crafting and check out what my design team sisters have for you, lots of inspiration I assure you!  Then join in and link up with us. We love when you get crafty with us and who knows what you could win! So check us out, see the rules and the prize at My Paper Crafting.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Pass It On! BBTB2 Challenge

Hi my crafty friends, happy Monday to you all! Not sure where the weekend went but here it is Monday once again. So you know that means it's time for a new challenge at BBTB2! Our sweet and talented design team sister Sarah has a special challenge for us.  She wants us to make any project using any Cricut cartridge and PASS IT ON to brighten someone's day. Well I have a friend who has been through a lot in the last year, so I made this project to pass on to her hoping that it will brighten her day and make her smile. I made a vertical mini and you can make it out of toilet paper rolls, but I didn't, I just made my tube out of paper.  I used Straight From the Nest Cricut cartridge for my butterflies. I used black and yellow stickles on the butterflies.  The papers I used where from my stash, some from K&Co a long time ago. I love these papers but never really knew what I wanted to do with them.  So thought the years I've used a few here and there. I really love them in this mini!!  I'm not sure if I will put ribbon on yet or not, still thinking on that.  I added a magnet to the flap to keep it down, a rose from ACM (in the wedding section), a doily from My Creative Time, and some branches from the Martha Steward branch punch.  I left the inside plain for her to do what ever she wants.  Each page has a tag and there are 6 pages.  Here is a link on how to make the mini if any one is interested. Ginger from My Sisters Scrapper is an awesome mini maker, I just adore her work!!!  I hope you like this little mini, I think it is just too cute! I hope it brighten my friends day cause she so deserves some happy mail!  Go over to BBTB2 to check out the awesome inspiration  my design team sisters have for you and then follow our simple rules and link up with us! We love when you get crafty with us! Until next time...Hugs!

Wow I Can't Believe It!!!

I can't believe that I was chosen over all the ladies that applied for a position on SOUS (Stuck on U Sketches)!!! How cool is that?! What an honor to work with such talented ladies!!!  I applied for the die cut part of the DT which will be every other Friday. So much more doable for me during the summer.  With summer being busy with mowing and other summer things, I wanted something that wasn't so demanding on my time. So when I saw that SOUS was having DT calls for different parts of the design team I applied. Now never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get chosen, just the opposite actually. So imagine my surprise when I got an email from Leah telling me I was chosen!!!! Golly how did that happen?? I don't know but I'm so excited to be part of this fabulous team!!  I start in June, June the 14th will be my first post with SOUS so I hope you come and visit me and the whole SOUS Design Team! Thanks for visiting me today and sharing in my awesome news!

My Paper Crafting Digital Dessert Fridaze

Hello my crafty friends, I want to thank you all for praying for me.  It must have worked because I am finally feeling better after about 2 months.  It feels good to feel good, it feels good to be out of this flair if that was what was going on! lol  So thank you to those who said a prayer for me!!!

Now onto my project. It's Friday and you know what that means, yep weekend is here and it is time for another Digital Dessert Fridaze at My Paper Crafting!  I picked a really cute digi to send to my grandkids in NY.  Melin has the cutest digi's and if you don't want to color them she has a color digi along with a black and white digi! So when you buy the digi it comes with both!!! How awesome is that! So the digi I chose is the "I Whaley Love You" whale. Perfect to send to my grandkids to let them know how much I love them. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color my whale in then I fussy cut him out and placed him on a side step card.  Then I used Life's A Beach Cricut cartridge to cut out some waves to place on the steps of the card and the sun from Mickey and Friends (I think) with a cute Peachy Keen face on the other side of the step card. The sun I had left over in my stash that I didn't use on another project and I thought it was perfect to put on this card. A little glossy accents on the water, eyes, and the heart spouting out and I was done.  I have some stickers to place in the with the card to send to them because what kids doesn't like stickers?! lol  So go check out what digi's my design team sisters have used, pick up your free digi today at My Paper Crafting and then get crafty with it and link up with us! You know how much we love when you get crafty with us!!

Lace Tag-Tags & ATC's at My Paper Crafting

Hello crafty friends!  Today is Tags and ATC's over at My Paper Crafting!  And our challenge with our tags or ATC's is Lace.  So I used lace on a tag to go in my anniversary book.  I used a die for my tag shape, then cut out a rose out from the Cricut cart Art Philosophy and used my MS branch punch to place behind my roses.  My sentiments come from My Creative Time and the lace is just some scrap I had in my stash as is the brad that I used in the hole with my lace. Some twine and that's it.  Go check out the awesome tags and ATC's that my design team sisters have made over at My Paper Crafting, I promise you won't be disappointed!

My PaperCrafting Challenge

Hi my crafty friends, I hope all you wonderful mother's had an awesome Mother's Day!! Mine was very nice.  I have a favor to ask of you all, I need some prayers.  I've had a rough month and a half and I need some energy and to feel well again. The Lupus is just taking so much from me right now but I am hoping that this soon passes and I can be good to go for a while once again. So please say a little prayer for me if you would. Thank you!!!

Ok now for the Cricut challenge over at My Paper Crafting is lace.  I didn't know at first if I wanted to use real lace on a project or if I wanted to use a Cricut cut that was lacy. Well I decided to go with a Cricut cut that was lacy.  I used Art Philosophy for everyone including my card base and the colors I went with are brown and yellow. I used brown stickles on my butterflies and some pearls, one pearl I colored pink with my Spectrum Noir marker.  The size of my card is a 5.5 square card. That's it, just a simply card. I hope you will go see what my DT sisters have made, you won't be disappointed at all!! Then think about linking up with us with a project of your own. To see what the rules are and what you could win, go check it out at My Paper Crafting. You know we love it when you get crafty with us!!!  As always thanks for stopping by today!

Digital Dessert Fridaze at My Paper Crafting

Happy Friday my crafty friends, since it's Friday you know that mean it's time for Digital Dessert Fridaze over at My Paper Crafting.  I used the digi called ConGRADulations.  I figured since graduations are coming up I'd make a graduation card to put in my stash.  I colored this digi with my Spectrum Noir markers and then cut out with a SB's Nesti.  I then used a ticket die and stamp for "it's your day".  My card base is a gate fold and I glued my ticket and digi on opposite sides of the gate fold base.  Then I stamped the inside with some graduation stamps.  Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! Go check out the other digi inspirations my design team sisters have for you, I promise you will be inspired and while you are at My Paper Crafting pick up your free digi that Melin gives each Friday!!!  Then think about coloring it and linking it up with us! We always love when you get crafty with us!!!
