A Splash of Color

Happy Monday...ahhhh it's Monday...so that means it's time for another FCCB challenge!  I know you are as excited as I am for this challenge!  The challenge today is to showcase a splash of color...so we are asking that you create a card or a project using the color yellow.  I had NO idea that I rarely if ever use yellow and this was most certainly a challenge for me. 

I used my Pack Your Bags cart to cut out the sun and then decided the sun needed a smiley face so I pulled out my Peachy Keen Stamps for a little face.  I used most Stampin' Up paper but the checked yellow and white is from Hobby Lobby.  The ribbon is from the $ Tree and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Sun Kissed stamp set.

I hope you decide to join us!  Please link up your project and don't forget to include atleast one cricut cut!

The Best Ship of All...

Happy Tuesday blogging friends!  Oh how I wish I could stamp on my lunch break everyday!  Ahhh maybe one day that dream will come true.  I had to play with the others over at Scrappy Moms! and today for the Terrific Tuesday challenge is to use the Pack Your Bags cartridge!  I love this cart!  So I was happy to pull it out to use for this challenge.  I of course had to add a cute sentiment to complete this card--it's from Scrappy Moms--love it!  Hope you do too. 

I used mostly random papers from my stash.  The solid paper is almost all SU but the bright yellowish orange color is from one of those random paper stacks from M's-- I was sharing with a friend that I just had to find some paper to match the bright yellow colored twine from The Twinery--looks like I might have been successful J--let me check my stash :)  And the cute blue DSP is from creative memories.

Have A Fun-shine Day!

Oh my it most certainly was NOT a fun-shine day here in MN.  The weather was crazy today-- I had to do some walking outside for work this morning... by the time I was back to my office I looked like a drowned rat--not a pretty sight!

So who wants to talk about my lovely and talented friend Barb-BugBites 411 again today?!?! She has created some new stamps and today begins the first day of her launching the new set. It's called "All Year Round" and I don't think you will be disappointed with it at all--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!

Today I am highlighting another one of the stamps from the set: "Have a fun-shine day" from this great collection! I hope you enjoy :)

You're A Lifesaver

Does a friend ever call you just when you need it?  Almost like you're thinking...hmmm I really need to talk and all of a sudden...ring ring!  I love when that happens.  I swear my bestie just knows when to call me!  Heck she's probably checked my blog and knew I'd been crafting like a mad woman so she knew something was up!  Ahhhhh nothing like a great friend to make your day :) 

I am still madly in love with Scrappy Moms Stamps! and this sentiment is again from their "Quirky Quotes" set--which is brand new and I highly recommend that you check it!  This set was just highlighted on the FCCB blog for SMS being an amazing sponsort!  I highly recommend you checking out their stamps...I know I'm off to place an order so I can get some more of their lovies in my hot little hands.

FCCB Challenge #67--Pool Time!

Ahhhhh it's pool time over at FCCB and we are sooooo happy for you to be joining us!  This week we are celebrating some pool time!  We'd love for you to create right along with us and link up back at the FCCB site.  Please make a water themed project or card--remember to use atleast one cricut cut in your project!  I can't wait to see what you create.

Here's my card for today's challenge.  This little cutie is cut from the Pack Your Bags cartridge and the paper is almost all from America Crafts or just somewhere in my stash :)  And I LOVE her little face...seriously sooooo stinkin' cute!  Love me some Peachy Keen Stamps!  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper.
