A Blog Hop and Teacher Gift

It is just after midnight here, and I have just finished 2 projects. The first is a little teacher gift I made for my son's teacher, as tomorrow is the last day of school, the other is my project for an upcoming Canada Day Blog Hop. What better way to get back in the swing of things, than with a blog hop??



There are some really amazing artists who will be participating, and there are going to be some awesome prizes, so I hope you all come check out our patriotic hop tomorrow - July 1st. I love my project, and am really excited to share it with you!!

Have a BBQ!

It's Wednesday!! That means it's challenge day over at Cricut Cardz Challenge. Today Mary challenged us to come up with a Cook out or Picnic themed card. One of my favorite things about summer is the BBQ, so I decided to make a card to invite some friends over to a BBQ! Here it is:



Isn't it adorable?? I love how this card turned out. I used Simply charmed to cut the hamburger and hotdog. I cut the burger at 2.5 inches and the hotdog at 2 inches. The cutie face stamps are from Peachy Keen - love them!! The sentiment stamp, which I cut in half (gasp!!) so it would fit on the page, is from MFT. The paper is all Stampin Up, the ribbon is form Michales and I used my black and white Gel pens for all the stitching.

I hope you all hop over to CCC and play along with us :)

Some challenges:
Creative Inspirations - stitching
Bearly Mine Challenges - summertime
My Time to Craft - here comes summer
Creative Inspirations - summer
Delightful Challenges - fun in the sun

Hopefully back...

Well here I am! finally back online. We have had 2 week with no internet - that was fun - and my life has been chaotic at best. Although I have managed to get my design team responsiblities fulfilled, I have NOT been a good blogger! But I'm back.

Today's card - which was supposed to be posted yesterday - is Paper Playtime's Challenge for the next 2 weeks. The challenge is to use your country's colors (in my case Red and White) and a digi on a card:



The digi is from Praire Fairy and the paper is SU and CTMH.

Tomorrow I will be back with my Cricut Cardz Challenge post, and some info about a Canada Day blog hop I am taking part in. Happy to be back :)

Movie Night

It's friday, which means it is challnege day over at Flaunt it Fridays. The challenge today is to use any cut from the Robotz cartridge. I decided to use my very favorite thing from that cartridge the FONT!! Don't get me wrong, I love the robots, they are really cute, but I think the font rocks :) Here is a simple layout I made, using this font.







I am so far behind with my scrapbooking!! The baby in these pictures is now 5 1/2!! The page is about a Family Movie night we had when Cars first came out. It was a surprise for my son, and as you can see from the pictures, he was happy!

So come on over, play along with us! Have fun with the Robotz font :)

Flaunting Tigger

It is challenge day over at Flaunt It Fridays. The challenge today is to cut Tigger and the Ducky from the Pooh Font Cartridge. I love this cartridge! I think those little characters are so cute, and I really like the fonts too. Here is what I came up with:



I have been really missing my scrapbooking, and was excited to create a scrapbooking page for this project. I think it turned out really cute too! I used the font from the same cartridge, and I used the George and Basic Shapes to cut the photo mats. I think it turned out really cute :)

Tacky Tuesday

I was so excited that I got to be a guest designer this past week for Tacky Tuesday, a Monthly challenge that my gifted and talented friend Ruthie co-hosts at her blog September Ninth. The challenge this month is to cut a car, any car. There are two options for the sentiment. You can either use the word "roll" or the word "wheel". Here is what I came up with:



I wanted to make a girly car, so I chose the car from Paisley. The paper is all from CTMH, and the stamp has a typo in it :) What are you going to do?

I am really behind with my blog posts, this was supposed to be on Tuesday, and my Cricut Cardz Challenge card is late too... So here is my plan to catch up - tomorrow I will post my Flaunt it Friday DT submission, Saturday or Sunday, I will put my CCC card. Then I will be caught up :) Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Paper Playtime

Oh my, I have been a bad crafter and a bad blogger lately. Life seems to be constantly getting in the way :( I keep saying I will try to get better, and then, somehow, I just don't... hopefully soon. Anywho, it is Monday, which means it's Paper Playtime day. The challenge this week was to come up with a TALL card. here is what I did:



Cute eh? The owls are from a Cornish Farm Stamp Set that I have been eyeing for a while, and just picked up last week. They are colored with my SU markers - I am not thrilled with the coverage, so next time I might try my Prismacolors... The paper is a mix of SU and CTMH, with the patterned paper from CTMH.

I hope you all pop over to Paper Playtime, see what the Queens came up with, and play along with us. There is a great prize this week, a My Pink Stamper set of stamps, so come on out and play!!
