Warm Wishes

Click here for my BLOGAVERSARY GIVEAWAY!!!

What?!?!?! Two posts in one day?  No WAY!  Well, it's true, and I can't believe it!  I have another little card for you today.  Here it is:

This cute little cup came from my Winter Frolic Cricut Cart.  I got the card base and circles from my Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cart.  The sentiment came from Pink By Design's Tags and Treats Stamp Set, and the snowflake came from PBD's Snowflake Stamp Set.

Looking at this now, I realize that the layout is a lot like the card I posted earlier.  Ha!  I guess I'm in that kind of groove.  

I'm entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #92: Warming Up With Hot Cocoa.

I hope you like my little card...thanks for stopping by! :)



Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #21: Christmas in July

Happy Tuesday!  I hope your holiday weekend was WONDERFUL!!!  There's a new challenge up at Celebrate the Occasion.  This week's challenge is to create a Christmas project without using the color red.  Here's what I came up with:

This is an A2 sized card (4.25" x 5.5").  I got the tree from Winter Frolic, but I changed it up a little bit.  I wanted a more fringy-looking tree, so I cut 1" strips of two colors of paper and punched them with my Martha Stewart grass punch.  Next, starting at the bottom of the tree, I layered the punched strips, alternating colors.  Then, I just turned the tree over and trimmed off the excess.  Finally, I added on all of the decorations, Stickled them like crazy, and added a little gem with my iRock.  I really love how the tree turned out! :o) 

The sentiment came from Pink By Design's Christmas Wishes Stamp Set, and I got the twine from the Divine Twine Assortment Pack (also from PBD).  By the way, the background paper looks a little red in the photo, but I promise is really just dark pink. :o)

So, I really hope you'll head on over to Celebrate the Occasion to see what the other Design Team members created and join in on the fun yourself.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!



No WAY...Hee, hee!!! & Winter and Winter Warmies Challenges

No way!  No way, no way, no WAY!!!!  My little froggy card made the top five at Fantabulous Cricut!  Hee, hee!!!  I can't believe it and I'm SOOOOOO excited!  Thank you guys at FCCB for the recognition...his really makes me smile!  Just thought I'd share.  :o)

Okay, so now that I have that out of my system, I've been working today on another one of Fantabulous Cricut's challenges...Winter Warmies.  For this challenge we are supposed to create using some sort of winter clothing/accessory on our project.  Well, when I saw this, I immediately thought of my froggy and decided to put some winter clothes on another animal (this was before I found out I made the top 5).  So, after lots of thinking and browsing through my little cartridge handbooks, I decided to dress up the Create a Critter giraffe.  I am also entering this in My Sheri Crafts' Winter challenge.  Here's what I came up with:

With the flash...

...without the flash (I can never decide which is better).

So, for this card, I used my Gypsy to add some winter clothing to my little giraffe.  I got the hat and scarves (she needed 3, of course!) from the Winter Frolic cartridge and the boots from the Paisley cartridge.  I did some trimming on the boots so they looked more like snow boots and not rain boots.  Then, I added some chalk, some ribbon, and a sentiment from My Pink Stamper's Winter Punnies stamp set, and she was all done!  I just love this card...the giraffe is so cute in her blowing scarves!  I hope you like it, too!  :o)

Snow and Snowy Delights Challenges

Fantabulous Cricut is having a Snowy Delights Challenge this week.  The challenge is to create a project and incorporate snow or snowflakes.  I'm also entering this in Momo's Snow Challenge.  Here's the card I came up with:

I used Create a Critter for the froggy, then I used my Gypsy to add a hat and scarf from Winter Frolic.  The snowflakes came from the Christmas cartridge.  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Winter Punnies stamp set.  Frogs are my favorite animal, so I LOVE this little guy.  I hope you like him, too!  :o)



My First Challenge Entry

Well, I decided to try my hand at a challenge.  Paula over at More Than Favors has a Wacky Wednesday Color Challenge, and I thought I'd give it a try.  Here's what I came up with:

I used the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge (I LOVE that one) to make the whale and the cloud.  The scalloped waves are from Winter Frolic.  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Even More Punny-licious stamp set.  I added some stitching lines, brads, ribbon, and little tiny seed beads, and viola!  I think he turned out so cute!  So, I hope you like him!  :o)
