To My Favorite Chick

You know that feeling when you make a card that you just love, that you keep going back to look at, that just makes you smile?  Have you ever had that feeling, or is it just my and my weirdness?  Anyway, I had that feeling today when I finished this cute little card:

I don't know what it is about it, but I just LOVE this little card!!!  I think I'm going to send it to my mom (she collects chickens).   I designed it on my Gypsy so I could get everything just the size I wanted.  The card  measures 5.5" x 5.5".  I got the sun and hills and the hen from Country Life, and I got the three little chicks from Simply Charmed.  I added a stamp from My Pink Stamper's Tweety-Hoo Puns, some chalk, and some stitching/highlighting lines, and it was all done!  I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I hope you like it, too.

I'm entering this little card in the Tacky Tuesday's Challenge that is going on right now (we're supposed to use the chick from Simply Charmed). 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  If you like what you see on my little blog, I'd love it if you'd become a follower.  Oh, and I love reading comments...they make me smile!  :o)  Have a wonderful day!!!

Love You a Latte

There are so many great challenges going on right now!  Cricut Cardz Challenge wants us to use an image of a cup on a card, and Scrapbookaholic by Abby is having a SEI Challenge #3 in which we are supposed to use the color pink on a project.  So, here's what I came up with to enter into both of these challenges:

This is an A2 size card.  I got the cup and the sentiment from the Lettering Delights Sweet Nothings SVG set.  I drew the oval in Make-the-Cut, added a ribbon and some gems, and I was all done.  I hope you like my little card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Whatever the Weather...

I am just so excited to show you the card I made today!  It took a lot of work, but I finished it, and I just LOVE it!  Here it is:

Isn't it just so fun???  I used a file from the Lettering Delights Sweet Nothings SVG set for the card base...it's the last file in the set.  Then, I used the Lettering Delights Weather Girl and Weather Boy SVG sets to cut the weather icons and the little girl and boy.  I used Make-the-Cut to cut out all of the files. The sentiment is computer generated, and  I added some embossing with my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots and Polka Dots embossing folders.  Then, I just added a ribbon, and it was all done!  It took a while to put it all together, but I think it was worth it!  Imagine all of the possibilities you have with this card base...so cute and fun!

I'm entering this card in three challenges:  Crafting with Cristina's Interactive Card Challenge, Cooking with Cricut's Emboss It Challenge and Fantbulous Cricut's Weather Forecast Challenge.  I hope you enjoyed my card...thanks so much for stopping by!  :o)

You Rock Card

Well, I finally got the chance to make another card today. I go a few days without creating anything, and it just feels like FOREVER!!! I think I was getting a little "V-Day"ed out...too much pink, red, and heart-shaped stuff!  But I finally got some inspiration...and I have a lot of inspirations for this card.  First of all, I've been saving bunches of card sketches from The Sweetest Thing, and I've been dying to try one out.  This is the one that inspired me today:

Also, Card Creations and More by C is having a challenge in which we are supposed to use black, white, and one other color, and My Pink Stamper is challenging us to participate in her blog hop by using black and other colors in a project. Finally, I REALLY need some Thank You cards!!!  So, here's what I came up with:

Sorry, this isn't the best pic...it's a really gloomy day today.  It may be hard to tell by the lighting, but I did use only black, white, and teal.  I designed this on my Gypsy with the sketch above in mind.  The guitar came from the Hannah Montana cart, and the circles and rectangle came from Birthday Bash.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I got to use my new Cuttlebug on this card, too.  I used the Seeing Spots and Stars embossing folders.  I added a few stitching marks, and I was all done.  I hope you like this simple little card!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

WOW!

There's a GREAT BIG giveaway over at Create N Craft...they are giving away a Your Story package!  WOW!  I just wanted to share.  You should definitely go check it out!
