Monogram Notecards...

Sorry for no-post yesterday....I had a hard time sleeping the night before and quite literally got no sleep.  So I wasn't feeling up to doing anything yesterday!  I'm feeling more awake today, but I think I might be getting sick....but I digress....

Today I made these monogram cards that I am going to send to my grandmother....just 'cause.  :)  I am submitting them into the BBTB Monogram Challenge. 

I used Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for all the cuts.  I cut the card and the background pieces at 4".  I cut the letter at 2.5" and added some rhinestones for sparkle.  I used CTMH paper packet, Mayberry.  I think she'll really love them and they'll make her smile! 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Make A Wish...

Hey ya'll! 

Today has been a lazy day here in my household!!!  I have been working on cards, but that's about it.  It doesn't really count as "work."  :)  Both my pups have been sleeping most of the day....I did forget to mention that we got a new puppy almost a month ago!  <see pic below>  Her name is Lady and I am super glad we got her.  At first I was thinking what did I get myself into, but she has been awesome.  We were looking for a playmate for our other Chihuahua.  He started getting weird and really "clingy" and I thought he seemed sad.  It took about a week, but he loves chasing her around the house.   It helps him burn more energy too!  So it's been good for everyone! 

So back to crafting.... This is a birthday card that is going to be entered into the Peachy Keen 07 Sketch Challenge and also the Cardz TV Challenge #103. 

The paper is from CTMH "Cherry-O" collection. 
The "Make A Wish" stamp is from CTMH set called Piece of Cake.
The brads are from CTMH.
The cupcake is from Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge. 
The face on the heart is from Peachy Keen Stamp set called Princess Faces.
I used stickes in the flame and on the candle. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Round Mother's Day Card...

Hey ya'll!  I'm back again with another Mother's Day card....which could actually be used anytime for mom!  If you are wondering why I'm making so many M-day cards, it's because I am participating in the OWH Mother's Day Challenge and trying to make as many cards as I can for the troops!  :)  They are due by March 20th to shippers.  You might see some other cards thrown in, but will probably be mostly MD cards. 

This particular card is going to be submitted into the Mojo Monday 230 Challenge.  The challenge was a sketch challenge and you were also required to use a square or circle card.  I am also joining in the link-up party with Sarah over at Pink By Design!

Cartridge - Wild Card "Doily" cut at 5"

I hope you guys have a glorious day!

Elegant Mother's Day Card...

Hello!  Today I have a lovely Mother's day card to share with you.  This one isn't being entered into any challenges.  I love this card!  It is on the small side at 4.25" tall, but it still has a lot of room to write on the inside!  The color is actually a light blue, but it looks kinda lavender in the picture.....I need to get my light box built already!  I'm a horrible procrastinator!  :(  Need to work on that! 

Cartridge - Wild Card
Card Stock - CTMH
Pattern Paper - October Afternoon "Fruit Stand"
Ribbon - Dollar store
Stamp - My Creative Time "Mom You Rock"
Pearls - CTMH

I hope you all enjoy and have a fabulous evening!  :)

Colorful Mother's Day Card...

Hey, hey, hey!!!  Today I have this lovely  Mother's day card that I wanted to share.  This is being submitted into the FCCB Color Challenge.  I really love how it turned out and was quite surprised at myself.  It's been a while since I have done any cards.  I needed a break from life and now I'm back w/ mojo flowing!  :) 

The challenge was to use purple, turquoise and green in the project.  I just used all three colors and went bold!  These are some of my mom's favorite colors, so this card will be going to her!  I used Wild Card cartridge for the argyle design.  I love argyle!!!

 The stamp set is from Emma from My Creative Time.   It's called "Mom You Rock."  I bought this last year and used it a few times.  I love her stamps!  The sparkles are, of course, stickles!  :)  All the card stock comes from CTMH.

 The paper flowers and butterfly are from Close To My Heart.  I inked them with matching CTMH ink in Dutch Blue, Green Garden and Hydrangea.  The awesome purple polka dot button comes from Purple Pumpkin.  This button is a size large and measures about 1"...maybe slightly over.  This size or smaller is perfect for cards.  When I first bought from them I didn't know the difference.  I purchased mostly XL buttons.  I haven't used any of those yet, bc I'm unsure how to fit them onto cards.  Those buttons are about 1.5".  I think those buttons were made for scrapbook pages.  But we'll see..... 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed!  :)  Have a great day!!!
