Another Chicken!

So I just couldn't put the chicken away.  I decided to stamp her just one more time and decided NOT to flock her-- shocking I know!  But I think it turned out great.  A very simple card.  I had to have the designer paper with the animals on it-- soooo super cute!  I will have to go back and see if I can figure out what company that great paper is from-- I had just picked it up at my local craft store.  

I used some more punches in this card and I really enjoy using my punches. I did also add some crystal effects to the different parts of the chicken-- as you can see in the bottom photo I tried to show some of the crystal details. 

I think it might be lacking just a little something... but I don't know what that little something is??  Suggestions are welcome-- perhaps I will just hold off and add a sentiment when I send this little cutie off in the mail.

Valentine's Day Box

Ahhhh I'm so sad the weekend is coming to a close!  But I was able to play a little bit today and I decided to create a small little box using my SU! matchbox die.  I used some random papers I had lying around and placed some chocolate nuggets inside.  I covered the nuggets with white address labels--super easy peasy and cut out matching little hearts with a small heart punch.  A cute little Valentine treat!

Pink and white paper from a DCWV paperstack

Punches: SU! mini heart and label

Just Chicken In

Hi there just "chicken" in....hilarious if you ask me.  Today I stopped at a new stamp store I'd never been to before and picked up some yellow flocking and this cute little chicken stamp along with a couple of other goodies I most certainly probably didn't need--but spent less than $20 so I was quite pleased with myself.  I have been dying to use my new MPS Even More Punnylicious set but couldn't find the right chicken to use, but I think this one shall have to do!   

I also stopped by the lovely and talented ladies at http://www.stamping411.blogspot.com/ and decided to again play with the great sketch they have posted for their Saturday Sketch Challenge.

Flocking Obsessed!

Oh dear I hate to admit it but I am officially obsessed with flocking...seriously I better hide my flocking and my Create-A-Critter Cartridge because clearly I just can't stop using either one.  I am in love with this little monkey--heck I know I say that about all of the little critters I cut with that cutie cartridge.  For this card I aslo used my cuttlebug again and I must say I love that little machine--it adds soooo much without any work at all.  Ugh please ignore the not clean edges it's clearly time for me to replace the blade on my trusty old cutter.

You're A Deer!

Hey everybody!  I hope you're doing well tonight.  Thanks for stopping by.  I needed to make a thank you card for my friend Jackie who is my super duper SU! demo and I just placed a sweet order with her so I wanted to send her a little card to say thanks!  So, I decided to take some time to play with the Wacky Wednesday Color Challenge that was posted by Paula at www.morethanfavors.blogspot.com  The challenge this week was to use brown, pink and green!  So of course I had to use my Create-A-Critter yet again to create this card.

Mooooooooooo--velous!!!

Tonight I decided to take some time to play with my Cricut yet again and decided that I just couldn't put my Create-A-Critter to rest just yet.  As I was surfing I noticed a Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge at http://www.twoscraptasticgals.blogspot.com/ Part of the challenge was to use your Create-A-Critter Cartridge--so of course I decided I MUST play! 

Check back later tonight or tomorrow as I will be doing yet another challenge with this cartridge!

I LOVE this little cow and I have created this card many times but realized I had not yet posted one of these cutie cows on my blog!  So here she is!  I think she's moo-velous!

Paper: SU for solid colors, Polka Dots is unknown

Ribbon: from J's store

Stamp: My Pink Stamper-- LOVE those stamps!

Get Well Soon!

Tonight I made a card for a woman I work with who is home recovering from surgery.  I am hoping this little pig brings a smile to her face.  I decided to let my Cricut rest a little--shocking I know!  But I wanted to do a little water coloring-- clearly I am a little rusty as I can't remember the last time I picked up my aqua painters, but it didn't turn out too bad.    I hope you enjoy it as much as I hope the receiver does :)  Sorry for the crappy picture--one of these days I will figure out my photography!  Have a lovely evening!
