Fishing You Were Here

Oh my I was hoping the snow would miss us...well it did not :(  Oh well!  I do live in MN I should probably be used to the weather by now.  So I did have a little time tonight to create this card to add to my Operation Write Home stash.  I decided to link it up with a few challenges out there as well there so I hope you enjoy my card. I like the colors I selected and think this will be a great missing you card for OWH!

The Deets:

Paper: DCWV and SU! (is the enclosed glitter paper OWH safe???)

Cut from Cricut Nifty Fifties

Stamp from K. Andrew Designs

Challenges Entered:

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge: Pirate or Fish

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge: Square Sketch

My Craft Spot Challenge: Make Us Laugh

Chick Challenge #19

Well...so far no snow yet here in MN...but they are predicting lots and lots.  I am hoping the snow bypasses us completely!  But we shall see.  I did find some time however to do some stamping.  Hello LOVE this new stamp from the Ippity collection from Unity.  And I knew it would be the perfect stamp to use for my card for the sketch challenge over with the love chicks at the Chicks challenge with Ippity blog.

The Deets:

Paper: Mostly SU! and DSP I believe is MME

Ribbon: $Tree

Stamp: Unity!!  Ippity Itty Bitty

Happy Monday! Let's Shake!

Good Morning friends!  I hope this Monday is treating you well.  I am not at all looking forward to the snow that is predicted but I had a nice relaxing weekend that will hopefully carry me through the long snowy week!  I would be perfectly okay if the snow decided to miss us here all together--but I doubt that will happen.  The card I have to share with you today is for a customer contest on Pinterest-- I will be emailing it to the amazing Angela from the Amazing Unity Stamp Company!  If you would be so kind as to go in the next couple of days over to Pinterest and like my card!  I'd really appreciate it! 

But enough blabbering... this card is a shaker card--I think it turned out super fun.  I had never made one before so will definitely change up a few things when I made another one-- ie. I wouldn't use black glitter again! :)  Enjoy!

This is the card lying down and all the beads are all over!

The Details:

Paper: SU!

TGIF!

Yay it's finally Friday!  I am on duty all weekend...but alas it's still Friday!!  I love Fridays because it means the weekend is here...but it also means it's time for Unity's Friends with Flair every Friday you can create a card or comment on all of the other amazing cards that others have posted in order to win Unity stamps--ummmm hello does it get any better than that?!?!  I think not :) Stamping and Free Stamps...hello sign me up!

The card that I made for today was inspired because a friend asked me to make her some good luck cards--so of course I couldn't say no.  As I was doing some checking of my favorite blogs I noticed that the lovely Cathy at Creative Cutter Room is having a challenge.  And the challenge is to create a shaped card...hmmm so my gears were definitely turning at that point.  I've been big into monster cards for a few weeks now and knew it had to be a monster.  The shaped cards on the Mini Monsters cart make these cards super easy to make!! Love that!  I also did some minor surgery and dissection to one of my new Unity stamps--yes I know I took the scalpel to it and I love how it can still all be put together :) This is my new favorite Unity stamp!!!

My top heavy MN ducky!

Oh my goodness--my card has a lot going on right now and it's super top heavy!  Taking a picture was quite the challenge.  I've had this card in my head for a long time but I just didn't know quite how to execute it!  But I think I did a pretty decent job on this :)  Lots of challenges will be entered with my heavy duck!! And I am in love with this sentiment--it just makes me giggle--I love me some Scrappy Moms!!

Soooooo many layers--oops!

FCCB Challenge #99: Fancy Trims

I'm sorry if you don't know what Go-Go Juice is... and believe me if you don't that's totally ok!  I have a guilty pleasure...BAD TV.  So I was watching some TLC and there was a program on...and well Go-Go Juice was brought up... oh my oh my!  But anyway it was the inspiration for this card :)

Also I would LOVE for you to create with us at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday!  The challenge this week is to use trim...it can be lace, a border, or any other trim you can think of!  Also I would highly encourage you to turn off your word verification--yikes it has gone to two words and it is super hard to read.  I love leaving comments but hate when I can't read the words :(  Yikes! But enough of my soap box ramblings.  I can't wait for you to pull out your cricut to join us--don't forget we need at least one cut!

A slightly late Valentine :)

So I've been waiting to create this card until my goodies arrived from Jaded Blossom so this is a slightly late Valentine :)  I decided to enter a challenge the challenge at Jaded Blossom in hopes of becoming a Guest Designer for them!  Here's hoping I have a chance :)  Not so sure it's scary...more like super cute! hehe!

I also decided to use the sketch and pick 3 challenge from Cooking with Cricut.  They offered a great sketch and I decided to add brads, stickles and ink for my pick 3!  And of course a cut from my Cricut.  I used the Bump in the Night cartridge--hellooooo awesome cuts!
