Time for a little apple cider!

Hello friends!  I hope this post finds you well.  I must admit I needed to step away from the Halloween decorations and cuts and create this little cutie for you today!  If you know me then you know I am in love with my Keurig!  It's a life changing appliance if you ask me!  And of course I found thee perfect sentiment to use on my tag from my friend Barb at Bug Bites 411 she's crazy talented and this sentiment is from her stamp set Autumn Splendor--if you don't have it in your collection I'd highly recommend it!!!

Cuts used:

Happy Monday everyone!  Oh my goodness I can't believe how chilly it's getting here in MN.  After being gone for a few days in KS I can't believe how cool it is here...yikes!  Time to put away the sandals and bring out some real shoes.  It's Monday and it's time for another challenge with the lovely ladies at Fantabulous Cricut! Today the challenge is to create a project with the color purple and include a monster or a bug in it!  Don't forget of course that you need to use your Cricut :)  I can't wait to see what you create!!!

Oh dear.... I have been Coffin a lot this weekend!  I am working on some Halloween treats and I've been coffin like crazy!  I decided to stop at a local dollar store and found some super random gummy candy that I knew would be perfect for these projects!  I pulled out some random Halloween paper that I had...it's almost all DCWV.  So check out my project!!!

Ahhhhh if you have not been over to Bugbites! blog to check out her fabulous new stamp sets you are soooooo missing out!  I highly recommend adding these great stamps to your collection-- you won't be disappointed and she is offering them at a fantastic price.

I am convinced that this stamp/sentiment from the Misletoe set is my absolute favorite!  Love it sooo much!  And I really love how this stamp allows you to use it even during the non-holiday season! I will be back this weekend with another one of BugBites stamps used in a non holiday way!  I can't wait to see what you create with Barb's amazing stamps! 

Here's my card-- the cricut cartridge I used was the "Campin' Critters" and the paper is mostly SU! except for the fun blue polka dots--that's from Creative Memories.  I apologize that my photo doesn't show the sentiment well in real life it looks fab if I do say so myself!

You Rattle My Bones!

Good Morning!  Hope this post finds you well and enjoying a lovely Wednesday.  Things have been quite busy here and I hope you're still enjoying all of the fantastic cards that have been showcased Barb's BugBites Blog.  I can't wait for you to get your hands on these stamps-- they ROCK!  I know you will need them for all of your Halloween and Winter cards!  Tomorrow I will show you that they can even be used for non-holiday cards--so after you oh and ah over today's post be sure to remember to stop on over tomorrow :)  (ahhhh nothing like a shameless plug for one's own creations :))

Here is my scary skeleton that was cut from the Happy Hauntings cartridge-- the layers of the skeleton have been popped up with dimesionals that were cut to size---oh dear me that was quite painstaking--but the finished product turned out to be cute!  I LOVE how the letters in this sentiment stamp look like little bones...muuhahaha soooo hilarious!  Enjoy :)



Dear Santa...

Hello my dear blogging friends!  Hope you are enjoying this lovely brisk weather.  I created this card as part of the sneak peak for Barb at Bugbites this week she is highlighting two of her brand spankin' new stamp sets that she will soon have ready for purchase! 

Yesterday I had some cards posted using her "Magic Spells" stampset and today I am using the sentiment from her "Winter Wishes" stampset-- LOVE it!  Well I actually love them both but I think now that winter is quickly approaching this will soon be my go to set.

Oh and get ready for this...hold on ladies...this is the ONLY sheet of Christmas paper that I have in my whole house...shock...gasp...can you believe it... I was digging through everything in a panic knowing I needed/wanted Christmas themed paper-- oh dear I am going to have to go out shopping for some ASAP!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  I know I did. I spent some great time with a friend on Friday and Saturday-- we stopped and checked out the Stampin' and Scrappin' Expo at the MN State Fairgrounds-- oh my goodness-- soooo many crafting ideas are floating around in my head now!  Love checking things out there and of course I had to pick up a few new goodies.  Hopefully I will be able to put some stamps to paper and get some projects posted! 

I hope you've stopped over at my friend Barb's fangtastic blog!  Yes, I said fangtastic!  She is releasing two new stamp sets and you won't want to miss out on them... they rock!  I hope you enjoy my creations with her great sets :)

FCCB Challenge #77

Ahhhh my bloggy friends...it's Monday!  The weather here in MN was warm the last few days...which I think officially means that summer is over.  I am looking forward to my favorite season... hockey season...so I guess I have something to look forward to :) 

However, it's Monday and Monday  means that it's time for another fabulous challenge at FCCB.  This week we are having challenge #77.  And the challenge is "Make Some Music"  I hope you decide to join us by creating a card or project with an instrument or some music notes on it-- just don't forget to use at least one cut from your fabulous cricut. 

I look forward to seeing your project!!

Frightfully Delightful

I decided I simply had to create for yet another challenge :)  Today I decided to take a peek at the Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge and found this cute little sketch challenge.  I certainly took some creative license with it...but it was fun.  I was dying to use my Monster faces and my Mini Monsters cartridge--so I decided to put them together for this card.  Perhaps I got a little heavy handed with my white gel pen and sponging...but kinda gives it a creepy feel if you ask me :)

Hello Thursday...which means Friday is right around the corner.  I am hoping it's a quiet weekend that will lead into a busy few next weeks-- I think perhaps I shouldn't wish too hard for it to be quiet and that might backfire.  I hope you 've been enjoying my posts to help celebrate the release of my friend Barbs Bugbites Stamps!  Don't forget to stop by her blog--today is Day 4 in the sneak peaks of her stamps!  I just know you will need to have these stamps to add to your collection!
