Cricut Cardz Challenge Holiday Card

It's Wednesday!! That means it's challenge day over at Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge today was to create a holiday card using any cartridge or color. Here is what I came up with;



Isn't that the cutest penguin?? He is from CAC and the Santa hat is from Pooh and Friends. They "ho ho ho" stamp is My Pink Stamper. The patterned paper is from a DCWV stack, and the rest of the paper is from Michael's. I think it turned put so cute!!
The card is a 4x4 and the layer is 3.75x3.75.

Sorry for the lack of links, I am on my iPhone, and have no clue how to do them on here :) I have just been such a bad blogger this summer, that I wanted to at least get my post up on time. Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Summer fun!!

Man, this summer is being brutal for my blogging. I am either at work, or at the camp, and that's about it :) So much for being a good design team member... I am getiing my projects done, but not posting them to my blog. I am so far behind.

Today is digi challenge day over at Paper Playtime.Each of the DT members has been given some wonderful digi stamps to make a summer themed project with. I bought a Bind it All last week, and decided to break it open and make a note pad, and I am thrilled with how cute it is :) I chose this ADORABLE Gillian stamp from Praire Fairy Designs. Here is my project:



Don't you just loved it?? I think Gillian looks so suumery and cute!! I colored her in with my Prismacolor Pencils and used a CTMH alphabet set to stamp the word "NOTES". It is a 6x4 note pad, and fits perfectly in my purse!!

Everyone should come and play at Paper Playtime, there are tons of digi stamps to be won!! Hope you are all having a great summer!!

HERE IS MINE:

I decided to make a mini Canada Day album, and I am so happy with how it turned out!! The maple leafs are all cut from Create a Critter - my favorite cartridge, and so is the Beaver - isn't he cute?? All the words are cut with Robotz - my go to chunky font. The tags are all from Sweet Treats. Almost all the paper is from my scrap boxes. I am trying to use up what I have :) Most of the card stock is from Stampin Up or Close to My Heart. I have no idea who made the patterned paper, sorry - one of the problems with delving into my scrapbox. I used ribbon from Michaels, and my white and black gel pens to do the doodling. Supe cute eh??

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 :)
