Thank You!

Hello my crafty friends!  Hope you are all doing well today... oh dear this weather...that's about all I can say at this point.  It's supposed to snow again here tomorrow... I think that might mean our campus Earth Day clean up might not be happening....who would have thought I'd still not be wearing sandals yet!  icky!  But oh well!  I needed to work on some thank you cards and I have been looking around the Silhouette Store a lot lately and I have been impressed with all of the various cards they have... I love when I can cut funky card bases!  It makes card making oh so much fun!  I am in love with this card base right now... it's  a wheel card from Lori Whitlock-- I LOVE her stuff!  Hope you enjoy my card!  And yes, yes, I know, I know as you spin it the saying stays the same-- I wanted to do a variety of sentiments but I only have a few stamp sets at this house! So it's a bit repetitive! :)

CardzTV Challenge! Cute as A Button

Hello my crafty friends!  I am trying really, really, really hard to NOT complain about the weather that we are having but wow... seriously it's April... I am so ready for Spring...this snow is making me super sad!  But on a good note it's time for another awesome challenge with my design team friends at Cardz TV.  Our challenge this week is "cute as a button."  So we are asking you to create a card, project or layout using buttons!  Super fun right!  We would love to see your creations so please link up with us!

The card as well as the telephone are Silhouette cut files!  Love this card shape!
I hope you can see the button is the center of the telephone!  
The sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps Simply Said--love it!!

CardzTV Challenge 27--Mix It Up

Hello my crafty friends!  It's time for another awesome challenge with the amazing design team at Cardz TV and the projects definitely won't disappoint! I loved this challenge because it gave me the perfect reason to pull out some of my patterned papers so I could find 3 that coordinated well and that I really liked.  I knew that this house needed to be cut out... and I honestly forgot all about this stamp set having this sentiment and I knew it was perfect for this card.

I do hope my friend who gets this in the mail knows I am so thankful for the window she opened in my life!!!!!!  Thank you M!

Cardz TV Ch# 27 "Mix It Up!"

Make a card, layout or craft project mixing 3 patterned papers
Starts: Fri, April 5
Ends: Thurs, Apr 18 @ Noon EST
Prize: 1 set of Cardz TV Stamps 

Here is my project for this challenge:

Cut is from Miss Kate Cuttables

Could You Be Any Sweeter?

I don't think I could be any sweeter....haha!  Well my crafty friends I hope this post finds you well and that you are having a wonderful day.  I have created this little cutie for you today using one of my great stamps from Fresh Brewed Designs and this month we are starting a new challenge at FBD and it's all about Sweet Treats!  Hence the use of "Cherry Cupcake Cutie" and the great sentiment is from "Skinny Minnie Is Sweet."  Love this little cutie!

I was in the mood for something not so girly and I pulled out the yellow polka paper and used that as my inspiration-- I can't seem to move away from mixing colors with black-- it seems to just ground my cards :)  Hope you can find some time to join us for some sweet treats!
