Kaboom!

** Click HERE for today's Made Especially for You post! **

Hello everybody once again! It's Monday and we have another challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut!
This week's challenge is Kaboom! Fireworks Celebration! Make a project with a firework, sparkler, or other big "boom" project.

I LOVE shaped cards, but I hardly ever do them because sometimes they come out too big or too small for the envelopes. I decided to make one to hold some cash for my younger brother so he can buy some fireworks for 4th of July :-) 
The firecracker is from the Summer Celebrations cartridge - I've said it many times, but this cartridge really does have everything for summer celebrations LOL!  
 This cute face is from Peachy Keen's In Stitches assortment. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Simple Sentiments stamp set. 


Don't forget to stop by and say hello to the new DT members! =) 
Join this week's challenge here! 

Thanks for looking!

MEFY - 4th of July

Hello! We are officially midway through the year! Independence Day is coming up this Wednesday. Over at Made Especially for You we have a new challenge. All you have to do is create a 4th of July card using bling (rhinestones, pearls, gems, etc.) 
The image is Star Digital Stamp from our sponsor, The Stamping Boutique. I colored it in with copics.
 I love this paper and didn't want to cover it more than I already had. It's from a stack I got at Hobby Lobby. I can't remember the name 100%, but I'm almost sure it's All Seasons 2.  
 Don't forget to join us HERE! 
This week the prize is 3 images of the winner's choice from The Stamping Boutique.
Thank you for stopping by!

flip flopping fabulous!


Hello everybody and happy Wednesday! 
Did any of you catch Craft Wars last night? =)

This week over at Joy's Life DT we are playing with summer colors: Orange, Yellow, and Turquoise. 

I created this flip flopping fabulous card ;)
It's a standard A2 size card. 
I ♥ this sentiment. 
It's from Joy's NEW stamp set Pun in the Sun!! You can find it HERE! 
The flip flops are from Life's a Beach cartridge cut at 1.30".
I added the flowers from George and Basic Shapes cartridge cut at 0.26". 
I then went on to add glossy accents to the strap and flowers. 
I'm not sure if you can see, but I cut extra flip flops and just layered them beneath the main ones.
All of the pattern paper is from Echo Park's Paradise Beach paper pad. 
Thank you for looking and head over to Joy's Life DT blog to see more summer inspired projects!
