Arrrrrrr!

Yikes!  Arrrrrrrrggggg!  Migraines getting in the way of my crafting is enough to make me want to talk like a pirate!  Well it's Monday and that means it's time for a challenge over at FCCB Challenge Me Monday! This week we are hoping you join us for a pirate theme!  Pull out those cartridges and find a pirate theme...I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how many cartridges will work for this :)  Put on your creative caps and join us! 

Bots of Fun!

Hope your Thursday has been bots of fun :)  haha!  My Thursday has been insanely busy and the next few days will likely continue to be as tiring and long.  Oy! 

I hope you enjoy my card for the day-- love the robot I cute out-- just using one layer-- and he still turned out pretty cute.  The eyes of course were needed and twine...ya just can't make a card without twine.  I love the paper I used...the flip side is actually robots--which triggered me to think I needed to make a robot.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms and love how it looks with this card :) 

Release Day #3

Good Morning my lovely blogging friends :)  I hope this finds you well and loving that it's Wednesday--which to me means it's almost Friday!  I am still having a blast playing with my BugBites411 stamps! Again I'm telling you...these are BugBites that are enjoyable :)

Stop on over BugBites  to check out the super fun sneak peaks that my friend Barb has created called "All Year Round."  I don't think you will be disappointed in your visit--she has some really great sayings that can be used...yep you guessed it...all year round :) Please know that if you stop over each and everyday of the reveals--Aug 1-7 and leave a lovely comment she will be giving away a BugBites stamp set for each day on August 8!

I hope you enjoy the card I created to highlight these adorable stamps!  This little guy cracks me up!  The idea for this card came to me at 3 AM one morning-- I had to get up out of bed to do a rough sketch!

I finally did it...

I ordered some twine...it arrived on Tuesday and tonight I was finally brave enough to cut it!  I fear I am going to run out as I only placed the order for the sample sizes-- I mean really do I need the large cones??? Hmmm probably not but it did take some bravery to make the actual cut.  I placed my order for the twine from The Twinery the shipping was quick and I really like how it feels.  I also picked up some from my my local craft store that is made by Jillibean Soup and that is the bright green I used for this card and the other colors are from The Twinery. 

Entered in the Birthday Sundaes Challenge which was to use the colors: orange, green and white!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

Ah so some friends invited us to a Twin's game and we had a blast...even though the Twin's were defeated by A LOT!  But we had a great time anyway!  Lots of laughs were had.  I do really love the new punch I used for this card--it's really quite fun.  I did also use the Boy Will Be Boys cartridge--which has a ton of fun chunky cuts--which I really like. Here's to hoping you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Slooooooow Down Speed Racer....

This card design kept me up alllll night last night.  My bestie just recently moved to Kansas and yesterday she was pulled over for speeding...and I'm sure in her fabulous fashion managed to talk her way into getting only a warning versus a ticket!  But I really love how this card turned out.  I wasn't sure about creating the shape but I think it turned out cute.  This was one of the very few cuts I have made with this cartridge and I think it has a lot of fun cuts!  I might have to spend some more time with it!  I have also decided I must purchase some more twine...I'm getting tired of using the yellow, black and red that I have.  I do fear however if I buy some it will appear on each and every single one of my cards :)  Well, I hope you all have a fabulous evening! 

Be sure to check back this weekend on my blog and as well and at Operation Write Home  They have some fun planned for this weekend and I will be playing along with them and offering some fun blog candy :)  Can't wait to see you all this weekend!!!!!!!!!!
