Wishing you happiness beyond measure

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a GREAT day! 

Today is my day to post over at Joy's blog and the card I made was inspired by the sentiment :)

This beautiful stamp set is from Joy's Tag You're It Set 2  

 I added an action wobble on the measuring cup :-) 

The measuring cup is from the From My Kitchen cartridge.  The hearts are from the Baby Steps and George and Shapes cartridges. 

I used Xmas Red stickles on two of the hearts. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a fun, crafty day!

We are a great pear

Hello everyone! This week Joy's Life Design Team will be showcasing projects that include food. 

With the holiday rush you might not have time to make a big breakfast, but who says you can't make a quick and thoughtful one? 

Before we headed to do some shopping Saturday I made my hubby a quick Nutella and pear toasted sandwich along with a card. He truly is the best because he's so patient with my crafting addiction hobby ;-) We really are a great "pear". 

This sentiment is from Joy's Yummy Puns stamp set. This set is so fun! 

As hard as I tried I could not get a good photo with both the card and sandwich together. We've been having rain and overcast these past days.  

 The card base is my absolute favorite shaped card from a cartridge. It's from Wild Card cartridge. The pears are from the From My Kitchen cartridge. I can't remember which cartridge the bows are from, I just hit the search button on the Gypsy and searched bow. 

 The pattern paper is from Echo Park. Here you can see the pears are on foam for dimension. 

Have a fun, crafty day!

Mission Impossible

** Click HERE for my blogaversary giveaway **

Good morning everyone! It's time for another Krafty Girls challenge! This week's challenge is Mission Impossible. All you have to do is create a paper craft that someone helped you create by embossing, designing, cutting, or doing anything that helps you finish your project. You could have your spouse, children, neighbor, friend, etc help you on this challenge. 

For my card, my assistant was my lovely husband. He tries to be involved with my crafting so I try to teach him everything I can in the few minutes that he has available. He helped me by embossing the mat with the Cuttlebug Polka Dots embossing folder. 

The cake is found in the From My Kitchen cartridge (Page 62, Button 35) and the fork is from the Baby Steps cartridge (Page 38, Button 18). The mat that they're on... I can't remember, sorry :-( 

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Sweetest Cupcakes set. 

Don't forget to join us here!

Thanks for looking and have a fabulous week!

Happy Birthday!

I haven't made a birthday card in a LONG time (at least it feels like it!) 

Birthday Sundaes is having a challenge - get messy! Here's what i did! 

I cut this cupcake in white cardstock -it's from the From My Kitchen cartridge. The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Simple Sentiments. 

I went ahead and colored the pieces with Tim Holtz Distress Inks using the blending tool. 
circle/"cherry" - Barn Door
the top of the cupcake - Spun Sugar 
the silhouette-like of the cupcake top - Victorian Velvet
cherry leaf - Crushed Olive
bottom layer of the cupcake wrapper - Broken China
top layer of the cupcake wrapper - Faded Jeans

 I cut the scallop circle and circle also in white cardstock from the Art Philosophy cartridge. 

 I colored it using the blending tool also. The scallop circle is colored with Broken China and the circle with Wild Honey. 

 I then sprayed it with only water with my mini mister to give it a blotchy look. (not sure if you can see it) Hopefully you can in at least one of these photos. :/ 

I used Perfect Pearls with Perfect Medium to give it some shine and finished it off with very little doodling on the cherry and wrapper. 

I also inked the edges of the patterned paper with Broken China. Again, here's the final outcome :) 

I'm also linking this up to:

21 Goals

Good morning :) My birthday was this past Friday so I made a layout on goals I want to accomplish for this year! [p.s. the pictures are terrible :( I misplaced my camera so I had to take these with my phone and the weather didnt help]

"21" is from the Cuttin' Up cartridge and "goals" from Simply Sweet (goals was cut out with the shadow feature both times)

This cut is from the Hello Kitty cartridge. The face is from Peachy Keen Princess Assortment :)

These two cuts are from My Kitchen, the face also from the Princess Assortment.

This cutie patootie house is from Handy Man !

My goals range from learning new recipes, going back to school, and purchasing our first home. I included a small photo mat for a picture of the hubby and me. The lined paper is from DCWV All About Girls stack, I just trimmed it until I got the look I wanted. I used Fiskars Notebook punch on the side to give it that notebook look hehe I also used Tea Dye and Vintage Photo distress inks all around the page. :) Thanks for looking!
