Throwback Thursday Challenge

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. :) I was able to get a card done for Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge. Yay! The rules for the challenge are to use a Retired Cartridge of your choice and make a project with it. I love this challenge! I have so many retired cartridges that I never seem to use anymore so this was the perfect opportunity to dust them off and play. :)

I decided to get a jump on my Christmas cards for this year and when I noticed that Christmas Cheer was on the list of retired carts, it worked out perfectly! Here is my card:



It normally takes me a few times designing my Christmas cards before I find one that I like enough to send out to family and friends but I really like how this one turned out, so this may be the one! For my card, I used Christmas Cheer and cut out the Santa suit at 2.5" You can't see it very well in the picture but, there is white flocking on all the white pieces of his suit. I used a stamp from My Creative Time's Inspiring Words (Accents) set. They go perfectly together don't you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and taking a look at my latest creation! I really appreciate it. I hope you have a great crafty day!

Hi there! I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! I am hoping to get in some crafting and maybe a little bit of organization done this weekend.

It was really hard for me not to use my cricut, but that's what makes it a challenge right? :) I was given a bag of those butterflies last year and this is the first time I used them, so I was glad to be able to use some of my stash.

Throwback Thursday

Happy Saturday! I hope you are having a great weekend so far! I am, other than the heat!

Last night I was able to sit down and make a card for Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge. It has been awhile since I have participated in one of Emma's challenges so I was so excited to actually be able to get to do it. :) This time the challenge is to use any Lite cartridge and to incorporate some bling on your project somewhere.

Here is what I came up with for the challenge:


I used the Lacy Labels Lite cricut cartridge and cut out my image at 2.5" I was really unsure about my color combo choice at first but I think it is finally starting to grow on me :)

I am also adding this to the tic-tac-toe challenge that is going on over at CAS-ual Fridays. I met the requirement for the bottom row.

Thanks for looking at my latest creation and I hope you have a great crafty day!

Cricut--Lacy Labels
Card Stock--Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie (SU!)
Patterned paper--SU!

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hi Everyone! Today's card was made for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge over at My Creative Time with Emma. The challenge for this Thursday was to make a project using the Celebrations Cricut Cartridge (or any older cartridge) and having it be a birthday theme. This is only my 2nd time playing in her challenges, but I am loving them and find myself looking forward to Thursdays now. :) This is what I came up with:



The card base is a 5' square card. I used my gypsy and made the scallop square 4.75 x 4.75 and then used hide contour to hide the holes. I cut out the hat at 4" and the phrase at 2". The scallop square is popped up a little using dimensionals.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look!


Supplies Used:

Cricut--Expression & Celebrations Cartridge
Stickles--Aqua
Paper and cardstock--DCWV
Stampin' Up!--Dimensionals
Misc.--White signo gel pen, atg and zig 2 way glue pen.

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hi Everyone! Today's card was made for the Throwback Thursday challenge from My Creative Time with Emma. The challenge was to make a card of your favorite holiday from the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge. I decided to make the Heart card, #36 in the book. I don't really know if Valentines Day is my favorite holiday, actually we don't really even celebrate it. When I started thinking of what to do for this challenge, all I could think about was every holiday I spend with my family is special to me. As a matter of fact, my family makes every day special so what better card to make than a love card. :) After 19 years of marriage, my husband and I still leave little love notes for each other around our home. I cut out this card and the frame at 4 3/4" and the icon was cut out at 2 1/2" and then I used some DMC thread to sew through the frame, popped it up with dimensionals and used some Glossy Accents on the little heart icon.




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