Throwback Thursday Challenge!!!

Hello everyone!!! I have been so busy with school and weddings that I have been neglecting my blog!! I figured I'd get back into it by participating in Emma's Throwback Thursday!

I made this card for my boyfriend's mother who absolutely loves dragonflies!

This is from the live simply cartridge, which isn't that old but is one of the older Cricut Lite Cartridges.

The dragonfly is cut at 3"

I embossed his body with the Swiss Dots folder.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stampers Birthday Crazy set.

Background paper is from DCWV Summer Dream Stack.

I used stickles in the circles on his wings.

Hope you like it!!



Happy Birthday Mama!!

Yay!! Today is my Mama's Birthday!! She is 49 years young! She was worried about being so close to fifty, but she is beautiful at any age. We had a lovely Barbeque at home and now movie night!!!

My Mama was looking through my latest issue of Cricut magazine and absolutely fell in love with this cute little bee who was used on a couple of the projects inside, so I decided to use him for her card this year.

I cut him from Create-a-Critter at 3 1/2".

I used my Gypsy to hide contour on his eyes so I could glue on my googly eyes!

The card is 5x5 with two layers.

 The ribbon is 1/4" satin ribbon from Walmart.

Stickles made his little wings shine and Stickey-doos made them pop!

 The sentiment is from the Greetings stamp set!

The background paper is from the DCWV Nana's Kids. I just love Argyles




 

 






This is a cute b-day coupon I made her! The icon is from the Slumber Party Cartridge cut at 4" The face is from Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face assortment





Here it is on the inside top flap of her card. I used a Martha Stewart punch to make matching photo corners to hold it in place. On the back it says,"Good for one pedicure!"

Hope you like it!

Happy Birthday Mama!!



My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge #7

Here is Challenge #7! All that was asked was that we make a scrapbook page!

I had been wanting to scrap these photos since March when my Mom, my Soulmate and I got together for a movie night! We all wore our favorite jammies and had the best slumber party ever!

My layout is 12x12.

The background paper is from the Birthday Extravaganza stack.

My title is from the Cricut Lite Slumber Party cartridge cut at 4"

My little floral stamps are stamped in brown ink.

Hope you like it!

Challenge #8 is coming up!



My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge #4

Challenge #4 is to make something for Mother's Day! Since I've already made my Mom's card I thought I'd make one for my Friend who is a new young mom. I already had My Pink Stamper Stamps and Block Party out so I mixed them together and here's what came out! It's not as traditional but I'm sure my friend will love it!

My watermelon is from Block Party cut at 3 1/2"

The background paper is Girl Dots from Hobby Lobby.

Ribbon is 1/4" from Wal-mart.

My sentiment is from MPS Stamp Set Fruit and Veggie Puns. This set is a must have for anyone with a Cricut!

Hope you like it!

Coming up is Challenge #5

My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge #3!!!

Yay! I'm keeping up! For the third challenge of the say we had to make something Breast Cancer themed. I decided to make something 3D since my last two were cards. This has truly been a day of challenges for me since I'm stuck working without my beloved Gypsy :( Luckily the amazing people at the Provo Craft Warranty center have a new one on it's way to me! I can't wait. Thankfully I've seen all of Robyn's videos so I can navigate very well around my Expressions. You can see all her videos at

http://www.mypinkstamper.com/p/projects-videos.html

I used one of the goodie bags from the Cricut Lite Slumber Party Cartridge cut at Fit to Page so it'd be as big as I could cut on a 12x12 sheet of pink cardstock.

It gave me a 3x3 box so I cut a 2 3/4" piece of light pink and used the D'vine Swirl Cuttlebug folder to emboss it.

The ribbon is 1/4" bright pink from Joanns

The heart brad is from Hobby Lobby  

My sentiment is stamped in bright pink.

I tossed some leftover Easter grass inside to complete it 'til it's filled

I've never known anyone with Breast Cancer, and I pray I never have to. My heart goes out to all the women we've lost to it, and to all the strong survivors of it.

Hope you like it!

Next is Challenge #4!

My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge #2!!!

I'm catching up! For the second Challenge we were asked to make a project using Kraft cardstock. Immediately I thought of a more masculine card. Normally I don't use Kraft cardstock on my project, but I thought this was an awesome challenge just to see what comes out of it!

I used the Kraft cardstock as my card base.

My cute hamburger is from the Cricut Lite Block Party cartridge cut at 3 1/2"

I couldn't help myself and i had to put Stickles on the lettuce! I think it look adorable.

My background paper is from the Nana's Kids stack.

I stamped my sentiment on a 1/2" border of Kraft cardstock and the stamp is from MPS Stamp Set Family & Friends.

Sticky-doos and my ATG gun help keep it all together!

My card can be used if you're invited to a BBQ and you make a dish, or as invitations to one!

Hope you like it!

Here I come Challenge #3!



Last Day of School and Teacher Appreciation!

Well yesterday was the last day of class! For this semester anyway. Since Tuesday was Teacher Appreciation Day I decided to make Thank-you's for my four professors I had this semester. I truly appreciate all they do.

  

Of course my card is A2 size.

The background paper is from the Faith Stack at Hobby Lobby.

My swirly apple is from the Cricut Lite Celebrate with Flourish Cartridge and is cut at 2".

My sentiment is from the Greetings stamp set.

I used my beloved ATG to put it all together and Sticky-Doos to give my apple dimension.

The 1/4" tan satin ribbon is from Joanns.

Hope you like 'em!



Inspired Heart Thank-You Card!

My boyfriend's Nana volunteers her time at our Cathedral and she asked my mother and I to take the gifts up to the altar for Palm Sunday Mass!! We were so honored and excited so my Mama asked me to make her a thank-you card. Here's what I came up with.

The Holy Grail is cut from The Inspired Heart Cricut Lite Cartidge at 3 1/2"

The paper is from the Faith Stack. Both of these coordinate really well.

A corner rounder and border punch added dimension.

My sentiment is stamped in Christmas green ink and the stamp is from Elegant Greetings.

Hope you like it!



Throwback Thursday Challenge!! Cricut Lite!

Hello! This time for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge we have to create a one or two page layout using a Cricut Lite Cartridge. The cartridge I chose is Meow!

This picture I took of my cat, Jack Mamba in our backyard this past fall. He stands out so much I had to make a page for him.

Here is my 12x12 layout! The background paper is from DCWV The Pets Stack! The strip of striped paper along the left side, and the paper used to mat the photo are also from this same stack. This Cartridge and this Stack coordinate so well!

The title "Here Kitty" and the paw border are both cut at approx. 3" I did my best to use solid colors that match the background paper. 

My ATG gun helped me put all the elements of this page in place! This was a fun challenge, can't wait for the next one!

Hope you like it!
