Sister :)

Hello everyone! 

For the past two weeks, the hubby and I have been on a "staycation" and I'm sad to see it end :( His brother flew in from Virginia and we took some time off. 

For today's challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog, you have to use the color yellow and use triangle. 

 I welded the word "sister" on my gypsy using the Simply Sweet cartridge.The triangles are from George and Basic Shapes cartridge.

The cute little girl is from the Peachy Keen Stamps's Darren and Laura Lee stamp set. I paper pieced her dress. I stickled her headband with the Yellow stickles.

The Sky's the Limit LO

Hello everyone! I hope everybody had a fabulous weekend! 

This week's challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is Spring is in the Air. All you have to do is use a kite or balloon in your project. 

I decided to make a layout for my Project Life album since I've been dying to use the page protectors with four 6x6 spots. This one was super easy because the design was a layout already, I just embellished it.  The balloons are from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. 

The sentiments "The Sky's the Limit!" and "BIG {{{Hugs}}}" are from the Scrappy Moms Designer's Choice stamp set.

The face on the pink balloon is from an oldie, but goodie Peachy Keen stamp set: Everyday Character Face assortment. 

The face on the yellow chevron balloon is from Peachy Keen's Funshine Face assortment. This face is one of my favorites ♥

Project Life cards

Hello, hello!

This week we have a fun and super easy challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! All you have to do is create a project with a heart. Easy peasy! 

Like I had mentioned, I'm really loving Project Life. These cards are from a swap that I'm doing with one of my instagram buddies.  All of these tags were done super quick because I used Echo Park paper (Hello Summer Kit) and just embellished them. 

The sentiments on these three cards above are from Joy's Life Stamps. They are perfect for Project Life! 

On this card I used the heart from the Doodlecharms cartridge. :-) 

 The sentiments on the three tags above are My Creative Time. 

Thank you for stopping by! 

Have a fun, crafty day!

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

  The lined paper is from DCWV's Vintage paper stack. 

I welded the words "Washi" and "Tape"

Dino-mite!

Hi!!!

It's time for another Challenge Me Monday challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut. This week's challenge is to make a Birthday project using a candle. Remember: You have to use at least one Cricut cut! :o) 

I've said this before, but I gotta say it again... I ♥ DCWV's Celebration stack!!

The background paper is from that stack and I definitely did not want to cover it up!  The green strip is from Echo Park, I can't remember which paper pad though. 

This little Dino fellow is from the Create a Critter cartridge. 

The sentiment is from Joy's Life Lot's of Pun stamp set. I wanted to stamp the sentiment three times, but there wasn't any more room for the third since I had adhered the dino already. I even tried to lift it's tail and forgot to adhere it back down before I took the photo! Ooops! The face is from Peachy Keen's Boy Mates face assortment. 

 Dino with bling? whaaaa LOL The bling is from our fabulous sponsor this week, Zva Creative.
At first I thought their bling was going to be like bling you find at your local craft store, but the moment I tried it I could really tell the difference. I love it! I don't want to use it all LOL 

Check them out HERE! You'll fall in love too!

Hello, hello! It's time for another Challenge Me Monday challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut! This week's challenge is Trains, Planes, & Automobiles. All you have to do is Make a project using some sort of transportation (Bus, Plane, Train, Car, Bike, Etc). 

The airplane is from Pack Your Bags cartridge and the cloud is from Create a Critter cartridge. I used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink to randomly ink up the cuts to give them a different look. The sentiment is from Joy's Life - Pun In The Sun stamp set. 

I added pop dots on both the airplane and cloud for dimension. 

My card is very simple, but that is because I didn't want to cover the darling pattern paper! Crazy, I know! The plane paper is from Bo Bunny's On the Go collection.  

Anywho, don't forget to stop by Fantabulous Cricut and join the challenge HERE!! :o)
