Sing a song of happiness

Hello everyone and Happy Monday!

Over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog we have another challenge for you this week, Sound of Music. All you have to do is use something musical on your creation. 

I love the pattern paper I used and did not want to cover it up, so I decided to just add one die cut. The paper is from DCWV's Celebration paper stack. 

I actually created this cut in my Gypsy using Elmo's Party and Baby Steps cartridges.

The music note is from Elmo's Part and the hearts from Baby Steps and I just welded them together.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Music Speaks stamp set.

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

** Click HERE for my 100th follower giveaway ♥ **

It's been a while since I've made a birthday card and my stash is running low, so a birthday card it is! 

I re-discovered the Once Upon a Princess cartridge and like the first time, I'm in love! The girl and balloons are from that cartridge. 

The face on the girl is from Peachy Keen's Princess Face assortment and so is the one on the pink balloon. The face on the blue balloon is from PK's Boy Mates assortment. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Sweetest Cupcakes set. 

 The doll is mounted on two layers of foam tape to "pop" up! 

As for the balloon string, I just got white string and used a copic marker to color it into the color I needed. 

The balloon patterned paper is from a paper stack I've been hoarding since last NOVEMBER. I got it on my first and only Hobby Lobby visit! I live far from all of them :(
Anywhoo, here's the card again! :) 

I'm linking this up to:

Birthday Sundaes Challenge # 43

It's time for another challenge over at Birthday Sundaes. Challenge # 43 is to create a birthday card using the following picture as inspiration - it must include a HEART and a birthday sentiment on your card front!  

Here's my take on it. 

The cupcake in the center is from Sweet Treats and the other two are from Once Upon a Princess. 

 The adorable faces are from Peachy Keen's Christmas Character Face assortment. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Sweetest Cupcakes set. 

I used distress inks to ink around the edges of the cupcakes and liquid pearls -I can never get them right :(. Also, I used zots to make the cupcakes pop up.

Thanks for looking!
