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!!

Who's excited?!?!?!?

I have been dying for months and months keeping this a secret from all of my bloggy friends...but I will be a Guest Designer for Scrappy Moms!!  <faint>

More crafty goodness to come but I just had to share my news :)







You Rocked It!

I'm not sure who rocked what?!?  But this card came to mind when I received some Unity goodies in the mail today and one of the sentiments was "you rocked it" and I immediately thought of a rocking chair.  So of course I had to find a chair that fit my needs.  And I found this one on the Kate's ABCs cartridge.  The paper is from my stash and of course the twine is from The Twinery. 

It's possible I might be addicted to Unity Stamps :) And it's Friday...so I had to join in on the Friends With Flair I know I looooooooove checking out all of the fantastic talent each and every Friday!!!  Stop on over!  You won't be disappointed!

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 :)

Ahhh feels like Monday!

Oh my blogging friends I hope this post finds you well...I can't believe it's Tuesday...where the heck did the weekend go.  Mine was great--spent some time with my family and we had a great time.  I decided that it was time to get back to my Cricut--the poor thing has been terribly abandon and I had to make at least one card with her tonight and decided to share it with all of you!  I came across some challenges I decided to enter and many of them focused on Grandparents Day--sadly all of my grandparents have passed away and I miss one of my Grandmas a lot-- this card is in her honor!
I remember my Grandma sitting at the kitchen table and she always had a deck of cards in her and...she was a world class Solitaire player and she'd whip any of her children in a few hands of Pinochle :)  And we grew up playing Tripoley for pennies for years and years--and you knew best not to ever cheat if you were playing with G-Ma...if you cheated you were done playing with her!  Ahhh my family now always enjoys playing cards--this weekend we played a lot of "Golf" and we are known to pull out the Tripoley board now and again!  Miss you Grandma!

You Are My Sunshine!

Hello Friends!  I hope you are all having a great Friday.  I decided I had to pull out some more Unity Stamps again today-- I think I might be falling in love more and more each day.  And did I mention I might be in love with my new "tiny attacher" yep...it's a stapler...but it's soooooo cute!  Love it.  This card is a whole bunch of randomness if you ask me...I did some paper piecing, did some shading, did some paper tearing...and it actually looks pretty darn cute if you ask me.  I will be linking it up at Unity Friday Friends With Flair!

Cricutless!

Hello my bloggy friends!  I hope you're doing well and enjoying the day.  It's soooooo warm here in MN today--at one point I thought I was going to melt right there in my office.  Yuck!  Tonight I finally had some time to do a little creating.  I am soooo far behind on challenges that it makes my heart sad.  But I did stop over at  and visit Emma's Throwback Thursday and her challenge today was to go Cricutless...yikes...that's almost like going nude to me!  Yikes!  But I managed to leave my cricut alone and create a card using "black, green, purple and orange" for this old school cricutless challenge. 

I was inspired by the great work or her design team.  But I decided to be quite simple with my card and I used a couple new Halloween stacks from DCWV.  All of the punches that are used were from SU! and the ribbon was just in my stash.  I hope you like it!
