True Love

I was asked to be a Guest Designer for the very  Talented Monica from monicacreates.blogspot.com   I am super excited to be creating something to share with all of her wonderful followers!

Since Valentines Day is just around the corner I decided to make my husband a card. My favorite color is PINK and he just LOVES when I do the "distressed" look sooo voila..... it was only obvious for me to combine the 2 and TRUE LOVE was born!!! Enjoy!!
And thank you so much Monica! Congrats on hitting and exceeding your goal of 100 followers!!

Recipe for True Love:
Background paper is from the DCWV Birthday Extravaganza Matstack
"True Love" Cut at 2 1/2" from the Tie the Knot Cricut Cart
Rafia tied around the Mat and topped with a simple flower
Entire card was then grunged up using Distress inks
Easy Peasy!!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!

First Mini Album FINISHED!!!

Well it took me a long time but I finally finished my first mini album!!
I think it turned out super cute! Obviously I made mistakes and learned a lot of do's and don'ts for my next album, but it was definitely a FUN learning experience!

Here are photos of the finished album! (sorry they are a little dark, I gave the album as a gift and then forgot that I didn't take photos so I had to do it quickly before the birthday girl took it)

Let me know what you think!!

MPS Challenge

I'm sorry for not posting yet this NEW YEAR!!~ This is actually going to be a short one also since it is 3:30 A.M. !! good grief I'm exhausted!


I am posting a photo of my entry in My Pink Stamper challenge.
Robyn had a great idea for her blog hop- you had to go to each blog and find the "Keyword" to figure out what the challenge was.
the words all made up the phrase "Do you want to join us in the challenge? Make a card scrapbook page or something fun with my pink stamper stamps or the color pink"

How exciting!
So I chose to do BOTH! I used the color pink (My favorite color) and a sentiment from MPS "More punny-licious" stamp set so enjoy my lil' poodle and have "Poodles of laughter"!!

My first Mini Album part 1

This is my first video posted to YouTube. It is also my first try at making a mini album! So I hope you all like it. I know I made a few mistakes and have some lessons to learn, but it was fun! And as far as crafting goes, isn't that what is important?? :-)
So sit back, and enjoy! And don't forget to leave me comments!! Good or Bad! I welcome all criticism!

Happy New Year everyone!!!! Embrace this new year with all you've got!!

New Years Weekend

Well I am sooo SUPER Excited because I am leaving tomorrow for a FULL weekend of Scrapbooking/Crafting with my sister and 2 nieces!! My sister is my best friend and she has the most adorable little girls, age 3 and 5, who just LOVE crafting, so this should be a GREAT weekend!
This will be the first time my sister will be using the Cricut (enabler alert!~~) lol Once she uses it I'm sure she will be hooked! I know I was!
I will post more next week of the things we were able to accomplish.
For now, here is a sneek peek of what I will be working on.
It's my first Mini Album, so far so good!
Let me know what you think!

Happy Holidays

I just wanted to do a quick post telling everyone Happy Holidays! I have been so busy working on my Holiday Crafts that I haven't had much time to post! But I'm hoping after all the craziness of Christmas and New Years is done, I can post pictures of all the stuff I have been working on. *Plus I wouldn't want anyone to see gifts I have made* LOL

I get a little giddy around this time, I love the cheer and joy that everyone seems to have right before Christmas! And this is the first year that I don't have gifts to finish wrapping on christmas eve!! Yay me!!! I get to sit back and enjoy this time!
So to everyone;

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!!!

* Keep the spirit of Christmas alive- somewhere out there a child is told not to believe and their hearts are being broken! *

Entry for The Pink Stamper Challange

The Pink Stamper is having a "Color Challenge" Using the colors Teal (blue), Green and Brown!
I created this adorable Skunk Layout!
Who doesn't love a blue/green skunk!!?? TOO CUTE!! :-)

I used the "Create a Critter" Cricut Cartridge and cut the skunk at 4 1/2 inches

I also cut out the word "Sweet" with the same Cart at 1 3/4 inches

The Mat was embelleshed with some green ribbon and a little inking of the edges with Tim Holtz Distress ink to give it dimension!

It is all laid on an 8" x 8" sheet of DCWV paper from the "Green Stack"

***BONUS- This paper is made with 70% recycled paper"***

Isn't it so "Stinkin'" Sweet??? :-)

Purrr-fect Kitty Card

Ok so I have to admit- I am NOT a cat person! I am a Dog person all the way!

So when I saw this Cat on my new "Four Legged Friends" Cricut Lite Cartridge, I was a little clueless as to

what I was going to do with it.

But Then I found the "Pawzitively Purrfect" Sentiment from Joy's Life Stamp Set and it hit me!

This has to be a Cat with ATTITUDE!

So I added some glitz again with the Star Dust Stickles and then a few pearl embellishments to make it

PURRRFectly Divine!!
