Cupcake Birthday Blog Hop Winner

Wow! I took a little longer than I hoped to pick a winner for the Cupcake Birthday Blog Hop.  My life has just been CRAZY lately...I've been preparing to move to a bigger house (with a dishwasher...YAY!), and I've just been losing myself in a mountain of boxes.  Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to more crafting (and hopfully some challenges again) once I'm settled in my new house.

That being said, here's the winner of the Martha Stewart stamp set:

Congratulations Fot!  I'll e-mail you to get your  mailing address. :o)

Thanks for stopping by today...I'll have some more projects for you next week! Have a great Fourth of July weekend!



Galactic Birthday

Happy Monday, everyone!  It's my Pink By Design day, and I can't wait for you to see what I created!!  Hee, hee!  Here it is!

I also made a video to show you how I made this 5.75" square easel card.  It's a little long, but I had a lot to fit into the video.  I hope you enjoy it, though.  Here it is:

The sentiment for this card came from Pink By Design's Animated Greetings 3 stamp set.  It was a new release for June.  I really love this Animated Greetings series!

I'm just super happy about how this card turned out!  I just think it's so cute...I hope you do, too!

By the way, I hope you've checked out the Pink By Design Blog.  Projects are posted daily and there's an awesome Community where you can share your own projects and join in on some fun challenges.  I hope you'll go visit and become a follower today. :o)

Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #19: Celebrate Summer

This week at Celebrate the Occasion, we're celebrating summer.  The challenge is to create a project with a sun on it.  Here's what I came up with:

I decided to do a pretty simple shape card for this challenge.  I got the sun from Create a Critter and the card base from Wild Card...I used my gypsy to hide the inner circle that's usually on the base.  I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but the orange on the card is glitter paper.  I added some inking and a sentiment from Pink By Design's Summer Vacation Stamp Set, and my simple little card was all done!  I hope you like it! 

Now, I hope you'll head over to Celebrate the Occasion to see what the other Design Team members created and then join in on the challenge yourself.  I can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks for stopping by today...have a great week!

This is an A2 sized card.  I got the image of the cupcake from the Lettering Delights Cloud Nine SVG set.  I crimped the cupcake wrapper piece with my trusty paper crimper, then I added a little shading to the chocolate icing dollop using my daughter's colored pencil. :o)  The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Rock On stamp set.  The background papers came from the DCWV Sweet Stack.  I hope you like my little card!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge # 65: Summer Sun

Happy Monday!  It's time for another Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut!  This week's challenge is to create a project with a sun on it.  Here's my project:

I decided to make this cute little pillow box for my hubby.   He loves those Hot Tamales candies, and I thought this would be a cute way to send him some.  I got the box from the Lettering Delights Pillow Boxes SVG set. The cute little sun came from Simply Charmed, and the sentiment came from Pink By Design's Summer Vacation Stamp Set.  I added a little ink and some ribbon, and my cute little gift box was all done.  I hope you like it!

I hope you'll head on over to Fantabulous Cricut to see what the other talented Design Team members came up with, and then join in on the challenge yourself.  I can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by! :o)
