Happy Retirement!

So a friend had asked me to help her make a card...well she had planned to make the card but sometimes I can't stop when I start something so I just did the whole thing :)  It was for a police chief who is retiring!  I think it turned out pretty fun!  He doesn't have much hair so the whole head of gray hair made this card pretty funny too!  Hope you enjoy it!  If you don't have this cartridge I HIGHLY recommend it!  I will be linking this up for the Anything Goes Challenge at  My Craft Spot.  Hope you like it!  I'm just not ready to start on my Valentine's yet!  Maybe tonight?! :)

FCCB Challenge! Boys Rule!

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope this posts finds you well and having a great day.  It was a long weekend here filled with work but I managed to find a little time to craft.  I hope you are excited for another challenge with my friends at Fantabulous Cricut.  This week we are having some "Man Time."  So I can't wait to see you man themed projects!  Don't forget to add a cricut cut!!

Did you see that I also used some amazing paper!  It's from a kit from Boys Rule Kits they are our rockin' sponsor this week at FCCB!

Prepare to be shocked and you check out my projects today...this summer will be almost three years since we were in Chicago for a Twins game.  It was a fabulous time and we had a blast!  Hope you enjoy my scrapbook page-- yep go easy on me... I do NOT scrap at all so this is a rare project :) Haha!

My attempt at scrapbooking :)

Hockey!

Ugh...what a day!  I can't believe how just this weekend I was running around outside with no coat enjoying the lovely spring weather and today...well wow... I had to bust out my coat, mittens and a hat :( I was so looking forward to spring and was loving that I could finally see the grass---but as I look out my window all I see is blowing and drifting snow!  

But I will not let the weather get me down too much!  For this post I am sharing a card I made for some great friends whom I spent last weekend with-- ahhhh it was so much fun!  We spent time in St. Paul and had a great time at the X!  A good time was had by all...well maybe not everyone but I know I had a blast.  My friends are huge hockey fans so I found this card to be quite fitting for them and even tailored the colors to their team!  I am entering this card into the challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion.  The challenge over there this week was to create a thank you card but to make sure it included a tag!  I really love how this card turned out!  I hope you enjoy it too!!

When's our Tee Time?

I'm thinking Spring and golf that's forsure...I'm not really impressed with the fact that we're suppsed to get more snow here in MN.  Ugh I'm ready for spring to get here!  This card I have put together for a few birthdays--so I have made multiples of this one. I found the original design on Momo's blog and I thought it was sooooo amazing I had to make a few for myself.

Ahhhhhh a new toothbrush!

Sometimes there is nothing better then a fresh new toothbrush!  A couple of days ago I cracked open a new manual toothbrush...only to remember that soon in my hot little hands I will be the proud owner of a new Soniccare toothbrush--wow!  As you can tell I'm a little excited.  So I took a little time to create a card for my bff's sister who is sending me the new brush!

The toothbrush is a cricut diecut from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge, the stamp is from SU! as is the orange paper, the striped paper I believe is DCWV! 

Enjoy!  Sorry for the non-quality photo--I'm working on that!!
