Center of Attention

I am so proud of myself this is the first circle challenge I have actually got a project ready in time to enter.  For this challenge we were to create a center piece and use at least 2 Cricut cuts. Here is my entry.

For my daughters 2nd birthday in June I have decide to have a Minnie Mouse theme as she is obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  I am not sure what the actual count on the flowers came to, I just kept saying anther mat full should do it.  I would say about a bajillion.  lol  The flowers and ears were cut from CTMH:Art Philosophy.   I may replace the bow with a larger one made from some wired ribon if I find some I like in my travels before June.  Hope you like it

Textured to Perfection

Here is a fun little paper bag Haunted House I made and am entering in the Textured to perfection Challenge at Moxie Fab World.

I embossed some black cardstock with a purple core and then sanded it to bring out more purple. I cut the little shutters by hand and sanded them as well I also added some stickles for a little glam.

 Mr. and Mrs. Enstien (hehehe) were cut using the Cricut Happy Hauntings Cartridge.  I cut all the layers from white cardstock and the colored them using Copic Markers.  It is a technique I have been wanting to try for a while.



I was sooo excited to light it with a battery tea light and see the yellow vellum glow.  Sadly shortly after these pictures were taken Bentley got a hold of it and destoyed it.  Far too bummed out to make a new one.  Oh the joys of motherhood. It was super cute while it lasted.

Sketch Challenge 8.11

Hello here is my last minute entry to this weeks Sketchy Thursdays Challenge.  I really enjoy using sketches, it's nice to have that tad of an idea planted in your head when you start a layout.  It cuts back on gears grinding in the brain, lol.

This was this weeks sketch.

And here is a cute Easter LO I made

I have had this paper for a while.  I think it's just the cutest ever.

Fanatical about Botanical Challenge

Hello, here is a card I created especially for the Fanatical about Botanical Challenge over at Moxie Fab World.

Sentiment : My Pink Stamper

Paper : K &Co.

Cardstock : Recollections

Cut : Kate's ABCs Cricut Cartridge



I own quite a bit of botanical style paper and never seem to be able to cut it up or cover it with pictures.  So the collection grows and grows.  This is why I like to participate in challenges, they force me outside my box. This was a fun challenge for me, it runs until August 8th.  Lots of time for you to make your own botanical creations.

Stamp It! Cards Week Challenge in Moxie Fab World

Hello, that last month has been so busy with 2 weddings, a quilting retreat and my Daughters First Birthday.  There is STILL a postal strike/lockout here in Canada, a bad and good thing I guess.  I am unable to mail out the prize from the last hop, but the temptation to order things online isn't an issue.

So I have finally created a project for a challenge.  I made this card for The Stamp It! Card Week Challenge in Moxie Fab World.  Although I don't have a specific person in mind, it is nice to have a baby card on hand.

I made this card using Stampin' Up's Baby Tees Stampin' Round Jumbo Roller.  I order it a while ago and have been eager to use it.  It is just the cutest.  I paper pieced the middle tee and gave it some dimension with a pop dot.  The word baby is from My Pink Stamper Friends and Family Set.

Hope you like it.
