Oh Snap!

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! I'm SO excited that the weekend is finally almost here. It has been the longest week, but I survived and now I get to rest and relax this weekend :) I have a lot of craft work to do. Next weekend, I'm also hosting a card making/scrapbooking class/girl's night out with some friends of mine so I'm going to prepare for that too. Fun times ahead! :)




Today is Friday so it's another Friday challenge over on the Scraptastical Kreations Facebook Fan Club Page. Our challenge this week was a color challenge. We could create any project using only the colors red, tan, and black, as well as a SK pattern or digi stamp. I decided to put together a super quick and fun card using this adorable crab from the Ocean Wonders Pattern Set. I cut the image out with my Silhouette, put all the pieces together, and then did some doodling with my white gel pen. My cardstock is from SU. For some added touches, I added Bakers Twine and red pearls. My sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps (Amusing Animals set). What do you think?

Well, I hope you liked my card today. Thank you so much as always for stopping by. Have a wonderful day :)

Two New Cards!!

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday! Sorry for not sharing a project with you yesterday. I was so exhausted after work yesterday, I came home and crashed and was asleep by 8 :) To make up for my lack of projects yesterday, I have two cards to share with you today so I'll get right to it :)





For my first card, I decided to use this adorable image from Scraptastical Kreations. This particular image is called Pocket Full of Love. How cute is he?!?! :) I downloaded the SVG file into my SCAL program and then cut it out with my Silhouette. I chalked around all the edges, put everything together, and then did some doodling with my white gel pen. The cute little bow in her hair is Bakers Twine. I then created my card base using SU cardstock. My DP is from K&Co. I adhered my image to my card base using dimensionals and then added pearls and a ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.





For my second card, I used this adorable pattern from My Scrap Chick. This particular pattern is from the Beach Bears Pattern Set. I cut the image out using my Silhouette and then ran her swim suit and the waves through my Cuttlebug using my embossing folders. I inked around the edges, put everything together, and then did some doodling with my white gel pen. For her eyes, I used my Peachy Keen Stamps (Princess Face Assortment). I put a little bow in her hair using some Baker's Twine. For some finishing touches, I added roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and dew drops. My sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps (Sun Kissed set). What do you think?

Well, I hope you enjoyed my cards today. Thanks so much as always for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)

Good Day Sunshine

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I'm feeling a little tired and achy today, I sure hope I'm not coming down with anything. I think it's just allergies though. I did manage to make it into the craft room for a bit last night and I have a card to share with you today.






For my card today, I decided to use this adorable cut from My Scrap Chick. This cute little girl and beach chair are from the Bella and Baxtor at the Beach pattern set. I downloaded the SVG files into SCAL and then cut everything out using my Silhouette. I ran the umbrella, her shirt, and hair band through my Cuttlebug using my embossing folders and then did some doodling with my white gel pen. I used a face stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps (Princess Face Assortment) for her cute face, then added some pink chalk for blush for her cheeks. I put everything together and then created my card base. My DP is from DCWV. I adhered my image to my card base using dimensionals and then added some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and some pearls for some finishing touches. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps (Sun Kissed stamp set). What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thanks so much as always for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)

Sweet Baby Girl

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! :) Did you have a nice weekend? We had a wonderful weekend here. Just got to spend some time with my wonderful husband and then some time with my family Sunday evening for a nice dinner. My step-brother and his wife just had a baby girl so we got to meet her and oh my is she beautiful! :) I made my card today for them as a congratulations on their beautiful baby girl :)




I cut the adorable little carriage out using the Sugar and Spice Lite Cricut Cartridge. I ran the base of the carriage through my Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from DCWV (Nana's Nursery Baby Girl stack). I cut the main piece of DP out using my Elegant Edges cricut cartridge (that's how I got that gorgeous swirly border around the paper). For some finishing touches, I added a small bow using Baker's Twine to the base of the handle of the carriage. I then added a larger pink bow and a rose from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thanks so much as always for stopping by. I have a super busy week and lots of projects to share with you! See you back here tomorrow :)

Having Fun Layout

Hi everyone and Happy Saturday! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Hubby and I are going to run some errands today and then tomorrow we're going to my dad's for a BBQ dinner which I'm looking forward to. It's just so hot here, it will be nice to just sort of hang out and veg a bit this weekend :) For my project today, I decided to create a scrapbook page layout using an adorable pattern from Scraptastical Kreations.





The cute little bear jumping rope is the Jumping Rope Pattern over at Scraptastical Kreations. Isn't she adorable? :) I cut her out using my Silhouette, inked around all the pieces, and then ran the bow, shirt, and shorts through my Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then put everything together and then added a pearl to the center of the flower on her shirt. Next I created my layout using SU cardstock. My DP is from MME. I added my photo mat, then adhered the bear to my layout using dimensionals. Finally, the "Having Fun" sentiment was cut using my Cricut and the Playtime cricut cartridge. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thanks so much as always for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend. I'll see you back here on Monday. Hugs!

Happy Birthday - Scraptastical Kreations Friday Challenge

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! So glad it's Friday and the weekend is almost here :) Any exciting plans for this weekend? I'm not sure what we're doing tomorrow. On Saturday, we're going to my dad's for a family dinner/get together and I'm looking forward to that. We'll probably do something fun tomorrow just me and hubby. It's been a long week so we could definitely use some R&R :) Well, today is Friday so that means it's a new challenge today over on the Scraptastical Kreations Facebook Fan Page (every Friday we will post a new challenge on the fan page and you will have one week to play along). We can't wait to see your creations! :) Our challenge this week was to create a card using a pattern or digi stamp from Scraptastical Kreations and at least one stamp on their project.






For my card today, I decided to create a card using this adorable birthday girl bear from the Let's Celebrate Pattern Set. I cut the cute little bear out using my Silhouette. I ran the party hat, the dress, and the balloons through my Cuttlebug using my embossing folders. I then inked around my images, put everything together, and then some doodling using my white and black gel pens. I then created my card base using SU cardstock. My DP is from MME. I then adhered the bear to my card base using dimensionals. I then adhered the balloons and then used Bakers Twine for the balloon strings. The sentiment is a stamp from Hero Arts. For some finishing touches, I added a bow (tied with my Bow Easy) and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thank you all so much as always for stopping by. Make sure to stop by the Scraptastical Kreations fan page over on Facebook and join in the challenge. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)
