FCCB Challenge #84 For the Birds:)

Happy Monday Everyone!!! And Happy Halloween to all of you too!  I decided for the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut for this week that while the challenge is "For the Birds" so we are asking you to create a project with a bird...or turkey...or something to do with a bird!  I decided to use one of my favorite cartridges to create a "Pilgrim Bird"  I had a stamp from BugBites that I wanted to use on this set but I just couldn't figure out what to stamp it on to make it look right... so I simply left it off!  I do hope you can find some creative time to join us at FCCB for our weekly challenge!  Please remember we love seeing your Cricut being put to use on your projects :)

Super Bird!!!

One of my favorite things about Sunday is checking out the fun challenges over at Birthday Sundaes.  I am delighted to be one of the Guest Designers highlighted on their blog today.  They have a wonderfully talented Design Team so I was tickled to be able to share on their blog!  I do hope you enjoy my card! I was looking for something super fun so I decided to create "Super Bird."  The Three Birds on Parade cartridge is one of my all time favorites!  Love it soooo much!

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 :)

Fangtastic wouldn't you agree?!!?

Bad Blogspot!

Perhaps it was an operator error but my post from yesterday that I had all set up did not cooperate with me and while I was out of town it decided not to post!  However here we go again...

My lovely and talented friend Barb at Bugbites is working on releasing not 1 but 2 fabulous stampsets that you will for sure what to check out--because they are amazing!  One is called "Magic Spells" and the other amazing set is "Mistletoe." 

Barb has chosen some great guest designers who are showcasing her great stamps and you won't want to miss them...fortunately for me she selected me to help her as well :)  I LOVE these stamps and I know you will too!  So stop by and be sure to place your order with Barb! 

Here are two cards from the "Magic Spells" set!  Enjoy!

Love this little ghost :)

Yee Haw!

Happy Sunday everyone!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend.  I hope you enjoy the card I have created for today-- can you believe it no twine was cut for this card!  Shocking right?!?! :)  I am entering this into the challenge at Cricut 360 and the challenge this week is the "Old West."  The Old West...hmmmm this was super tough for me.  I actually had to go out and purchase a sheet of paper that had any sort of a western theme to it---I knew somewhere in my stash I had something but I didn't have time to "dig."

I am still loving this cartridge-- I don't even like birds...but there are so many hilarious birds on this cartridge I just can't get over it!  I hope you all have a great Sunday!  See you tomorrow.

Yay!!! It's Friday!  I am excited.  I'm soooo tired...but so glad it's Friday.  I have been having so much fun creating cards to highlight the great stamps that Barb has been showing this past week!  Remember just a couple more days to leave some comments...and you could be selected to receive a stamp set!!! 

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 had fun creating this card-- I love the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge...they are so funny!  The random birds all just crack me up.  I can't wait to create a few more birds that I have in mind for some future posts :)

Swimsuit Contest Entry!

My little bird today is chillin' by the pool!  He's got his inner tube on and his little flippers--he's ready for the waves.  I am entering him in a swimsuit contest...errr I mean a challenge.  Barb at BugBites is having the 2nd part of her grillin' and chillin' challenge and this is what I came up with!  I used all paper and goodies from American Crafts-- it was from a package I picked up at Marshalls a bit ago for just a few dollars.  The little bug is a sticker from my random stash of stickers and part of the challenge was to add a bug/critter we found while on the Bug Hop!  I just received this cartridge and I think I might be in love!!!
