Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day! To all of our service men and women who have served or are presently serving...Thank You!

Today's card was made for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge, week 141.



I decided to do the square card. For my flower accent, I cut out three of the same flower from my cricut in different sizes. One at 1 1/2', 1 1/4" and 1" and then just layered them on top of each other.

MPS Challenge

Hi Everyone! Happy Saturday! Below is the card that I made for the challenge over at My Pink Stamper. The challenge was to make a Father's Day Project. I decided to make a card for my Father-In-Law. I used my gypsy to cut out the "rivetsqr" on page 120 of the All Mixed Up cricut cartridge. I welded in DAD in the plaid paper and then cut out a piece of blue 1/4" bigger to go underneath the top layer. I then put some eyelets in the corners and popped up the greeting with some dimensionals.



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and take a look. I appreciate it! Have a great weekend!

Wild Card #22 and #23

Good Morning! Happy Friday! Today's wild cards are #22 and #23 in the book. Enjoy!

The first card I will be showing you is #22 in the book called Quotes. I cut everything out at 6". I kept it pretty simple. The only thing I really added were some aqua stickles along the scallop frame.




The second card is #23 in the book called Thinking. I used fit to page and everything was cut out at 6". I added a little flower and some faux stitching to try and dress it up a little.



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! I really appreciate it!

Good Morning! Today's card is a card I made to play along with the sketch over at Mojo Monday week 139.



I love their sketches and I am quite pleased with how this card came out. I think it came out so cute! So sorry for the bad picture, I can never seem to photograph reds or purples very well. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Wild Card--Doily

Hi! For the next card in the Wild Card Series, I chose the Doily Card--#21 in the book.



I think I have said this before, but if not let me just say again how much I love this card. This has got to be my all-time fav card shape from this cartridge. I used fit to page and cut out everything at 5". I wanted to keep it really simple, and I think it turned out so pretty and elegant. I used some puffy pearl paint to accent the rose and the edge of the card and then tied a simple bow at the top. I didn't use a sentiment. I will either put a sentiment on it when an occasion comes up or leave it blank and use it as a note card for someone. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wild Card Friday!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! The next 2 cards in the Wild Card series are the Wave Card and the Pinwheel Card. I actually had a lot of fun making both of these cards. I hope you enjoy them!

The first one I am going to show you is my take on the Wave card, #19 in the book. When I was looking at the image of this card in the book, I kept coming up with Christmas card ideas. Instead of making the card AND envelope, I decided to make the card the envelope. I put some adhesive on the sides and the bottom of the folded card and then made a tag to go inside. I thought this would be so cute to go along with a platter of cookies for one of my neighbors. I used fit to page and cut out everything at 6 3/4". Tip: This is considered a tri-fold card, so if you decide to make both the card and envelope using the fit to page feature, make sure you cut the card out first to get a accurate dimension that they can both be cut at.







The second card today will be the Pinwheel card, #20 in the book. I have to say, I see so many possibilities with this card and the envelope is so cute! I ended up making mine a "Thinking of You" card. As you spin the pinwheel, there are Hello phrases in different fonts, when you open up the card, it says Thinking of You. I used fit to page and cut out everything at 6 1/2".





Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! I truly appreciate it!
