I'm sooooooooooooo excited!!

I am so super excited to announce I have been chosen, along with many other Fantabulous ladies, to be on the Design Team for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! This is such an honor and I am soooooooo stinkin' excited I can hardle contain myself!  Yay! 
I will be posting every other week along with the other Design Team members--whom I'm super excited to be playing with!  How fun!  I am really looking forward to this adventure!

A whole lot of green!

I love green... it's pretty much my favorite color and this card looks like my craft room blew up and green was the only color I could find.  I also decided of course it was time to hang out with the lovely ladies over at Stamping 411 to participate in another one of their fabulous challenges-- I just LOVE the challenges these ladies present.  I used a vast array of supplies and unfortunately a lot of what I used is stuff I have had for years and I am not sure of the company :(  I apologize for this but I hope you still enjoy my card!  Thanks for stopping by!

No... the B does not stand for Barn!

Hey everybody!  I hope this post finds you all doing well and having a good day-- no snow here in MN where I am at but brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it sure was chilly today!  I decided that I just simply had to join in a couple more of the challenges I came acros-- Love the "Get In Shape" Challege over at http://jitterbugginchallenge.blogspot.com/  it provided me with yet another excuse to pull out my Create-A-Critter cartridge-- hmmmm definitely gonna have to hide that from myself!  And I aslso decided to play with the lovely ladies at http://morethanfavors.blogspot.com/ who are hosting the Wacky Wednesday Challenge--it was a farm theme!  So I think my card fits in quite well.  I also just came across the wonderful and  talented K Andrew and decided to add my card to her challenge as well! 

The barn was a little tricky to put together without the use of a Gypsy for welding-- perhaps if my husband is reading this super close today he will see my *hint*...okay not so much a hint as a blantant request for a Gypsy:)  I will be sending this card of to one of my friends who considers herself a "farm girl"  I think I'm about as close to the opposite as one can get!  But I do know she will love this card...okay I hope she loves it.  The "B" on the barn is the initial for her last name...not signifying that B stands for barn :)

So many challenges...so little time :-)

There are soooo many fun challenges out there this week and I had a blast playing with a handful of them I came across while searching some of my favorite blogs!  The Creative sisters Linda and Patti-Lynn at http://lindascreativity.blogspot.com/ had a challenge today to use something that is embossed--I embossed my coffee cup!  Challenge #48 at http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/ was also to emboss!  So I thought I'd would enter this challenge as well :)

Also while I was wandering around the Internet I noticed yet another cool challenge and this was found at http://cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/  The challenge presented here was to use a cup!  So I took a look through my cartridges and found a cup that I enjoyed!  And lastly for this card I also embossed as that was the challenge at http://cookingwithcricut.blogspot.com/  the ONLY cooking I really do is with my Cricut!

Cricut: Lyrical Letters for the coffee cup

Paper: dsp DCWV stack, SU! Sahara Sand solid

Ink: SU! Sahara Sand

Punches: SU! small oval and key tag punch

Stamp: saying is from MorningStar stamps

Other: I used a white gel pen to do some random marks around the card

I love daisies!!!

I suppose it's a little too early to be making cards for Mother's Day but I decided that for another challenge with the lovely ladies at http://stamping411.blogspot.com/ I would create a Mother's Day card using their sketch challenge for the week.  I had to have a new toy to play with so I went out and picked up the Cuttlebug quilling dies-- my oh my soooo cute and fun to play with.  I did have a 50% off coupon so that made the purchase even more worthwhile.   It didn't take long at all to put the card together.  I used some of my neglected nestabilities dies and am pleased with how this card turned out.  Thanks for checking it out!
