Hello Friend

Happy Friday!!

Who's ready for the weekend? I know I am!

As I was perusing some challenge blogs last night, I came across a couple that I knew I wanted to play in so I was able to whip up this card to link up.

I know I have already said this but I am having so much fun playing with my Cricut Explore and rediscovering my cartridges! This card went together so easily. I cut out my Hello Kitty from the Hello Kitty Greeting cartridge and sized her to 2.75" in height. I love this Hello Kitty cartridge, it is just one of my all time favorites!

I will be entering this card into these challenges:

Happy Thursday!

I wanted to stop in real quick and show you this cute little encouragement card that I made with the 

Rainy Days set from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

I decided to make a 4.5" square card and create a little scene. Isn't that little girl darling? She is from the Rainy Days set from KaDoodle Bug and that file is one of the ones that is on the retiring soon list!! She will be gone soon. Yikes!! The clouds are also from the same file. I cut out the clouds twice, once in white and then again in a silver mirror cardstock so that I could layer the silver behind just a bit for the silver lining. For my "rain drops" I thought the sequins worked pretty well and added the sparkle that I love. That sentiment from the Simply Said set by Scrappy Moms worked perfectly for my card theme!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge--Sugar Rush

Happy Tuesday!!
Today is my very first post as a Scrappy Moms Stamps Design Team Member! Yay!!
Today starts a new Terrific Tuesday Challenge.

The theme for this challenge is Sugar Rush (Anything Sweet)
For my project, I decided to make a little gift bag and fill it with some yummy candy.

.I was blessed to get a Cricut Explore for Christmas and I had so much fun rediscovering some of my cartridges again. For my bag, I cut it out of the Baby Steps cartridge and sized it to 6.75". I then found those cute little skates on my Nifty Fifties cartridge and sized them at 2" and placed them onto the front of my bag overlapping the window just a bit. That fun sentiment from the Candy Grams stamp set went so perfectly! I simply placed it onto a strip of white cardstock, notched the ends and then curled it just a bit to give it some dimension when I adhered it. I added just a bit of shine by adding some clear Wink Of Stella to the "ROLL" on my stamped banner. I finished off my bag with some sequins and bling as well as a bow.
I hope you will stop by the Scrappy Moms Blog to see the fabulous creations my wonderful Design Team sisters created for this challenge as well as entering the challenge yourself! I would love to see what you create!

Love You Card

Happy Sunday!

Tonight I have a sweet little card to show you that features that cute little girl from the

Sweet Love set from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it so I figured I would get a jump start on making some cards. I knew I had to use this little cutie for one! She is on the retiring soon list though, so if you would like to add her to your collection, you might want to head over to KaDoodle Bug and buy her before she is gone. You can find her HERE.
