Miss Me???

Hello my crafty friends-- I have MISSED you all sooooo much!  Holy moly I finally touched some crafts supplies tonight and it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!  I missed my paper oh so much...and my tape gun...and my stamps...and oh I missed it all!  The house is not nearly as clean as it should be but I am happy :) hehe!  Things are finally starting to settle into place with the new place and the new job!  So all is well!  I hope all of you are doing awesome.

I have missed participating in challenges so of course I needed to find a great challenge to participate in and I think I found just the perfect one!  I am in love with the cuts that are created by and available from the awesome and talented Lisa at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons---if you are looking for some great cuts-- you definitely need to check her out-- and her DT-- wow some serious talent there!  PPPR is having a challenge and it's all about Get Well Soon cards-- so I created this card using the bear and side step card from PPPR!

I used two stamp sets from CardzTV Stamps.

Cardz TV Love In a Jar Challenge!

Hello my crafty friends!  Hope you're all doing well. I have been missing my blogging and crafting a LOT! But training has been going well for my new job so hoping that once I am back home it will keep going so well!  My design team friends and Mary at CardzTV Stamps have some great cards this weeks challenge!  This week it's all about "Love in a Jar." Make a card, layout or craft project using something you'd put in a jar!  

Father's Day Challenge #30

Happy Friday Everyone!  It's time for Challenge #30 with my design team friends at CardzTV!  This week it's all about Father's Day so pull out those Father's Day stamps and get crafting!  I hope you enjoy my project-- it's a little treat box that will hold a little something... I just don't know what the little something will be yet!  I hope you like it!

This is a photo of the grill with the lid closed completely!

The cut is from SVG Cutting Files

And here is the grill partially opened with a couple steaks cooking!

The part with the steaks on also comes up for you to place treats inside!

Huge Thanks!

Hello my friends!  Hope you are all doing well and having a great Thursday!  I am a little sad as tomorrow I will be starting a new job... definitely NOT sad to be working...but a little sad to no longer have my days to craft til I cramp!  I do love having crafting time-- but I am looking forward to human interaction between 8 and 5 :) haha!

This card was created using a fun sketch I found on my friend Jo's Funday Friday Challenge Blog and I think it turned out pretty fun!  The elephant is from Miss Kate Cuttables and the great sentiment is from Jaded Blossom Fish On--some great stamps in that set!

Sparkle!!!!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!  There is still some time to create for the 24-hour challenge at Fresh Brewed Designs.  The challenge is all about glitter-- or sparkle if you try to avoid the good ole glitter like I do :)  Glitter scares me... a lot...one because I don't use it for guidelines for a non-profit I make cards for but I also get it ALL over the place no matter how careful I am :) hehe!

I kinda love this adorable coffee shaped card!  My photo doesn't showcase the great sparkle that this lid has in real life-- so you will just need to use your imagination! hehe!  Happy Hump Day everyone!

I love a good BBQ!!

There's not much I love more than a good ole BBQ!  I can do without the rain and bugs but I do love hot dogs on the grill!  I have been unpacking and just haven't had a lot of time to craft so I took a quick break to whip up this card!  And I am super excited as I was able to enter it into a couple of challenges along the way!

Cuts are from the Silhouette Store

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Guest Designer!

The lovely and talented Lisa of, Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons has allowed for me to be a guest designer for her....how fun is that?!?! Lisa has the CUTEST cut files, digital stamps and paper.  If you have not been to her site, you definitely need to get there soooooon!   You will not be sorry and her prices are fabulous! She also gives way a lot of Friday Freebies! Who doesn't like free stuff right? Hope you enjoy my card!

I am sooooo in love with this cut file!  It's called Rainy Day Critters and it's so fun to cut!  I did add some glossy accents to the boots, tongue and umbrella but it's a bit tough to see!  Aren't his eyes hilarious?!?!  I love how he's hoppin' on one leg---lookin' like he's dancin' a jig!  

The sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps Toadally Awesome--you know you need it :)
