My Blogiversary
I have been so busy that I completely forgot my blogiversary!!!
May 10th, 2010 I decided to create my blog so I could enter challenges, never thinking that I would ever be accepted as DT Members on any of them!!
And my followers!! WOW!!! Thank You so very much!!! And everyone that comes by to see what I am up to. I so appreciate all of the awesome comments!!!
To celebrate, I am having a little give-a-way. There are several things that I can't craft without and I have decided to give three of these away, so you can see why I love using these items so much.
First is Cutter Bee Color Bee Scissors. These are great for everything. Even small pieces and tight places that you need to snip. Second is Tweezer Bee tweezers. I love these a lot! You squeeze, pick up and then unsqueeze. Holds small pieces so I can glue them wonderfully. Third is Quilling Glue. It comes in these little bottles that last a long time. I'm also including the cap with the little tip on it. That gives a nice thin line of glue. On most items, that's all you need. Great glue that holds tight.

All that I ask is for you to be a follower. I know, I usually don't make this a requirement for my give-a-ways. But since it is my followers that have gotten me this far, that will be a requirement this time. Also, and I am so sorry about this, please have a United States or Canadian address. This is due to the cost of postage. Also, only enter once and leave me either a blog address or email address so I can get in touch with you if you win.
I will hold this open until this Sunday which is May 26th. I will use random.org to choose the winner on Sunday evening. Good luck everyone! So looking forward to another great year of blogging!!! :)

Time for a new challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2 and our wonderful DT Sister Sarah is our hostess this week. She has challenged us to make a project and pass it on. You can use any Cricut cartridge and any theme. Just make a new project and pass it on to someone.
I decided to make a thank you card for one of my head cashiers at work. She is such a big help to me.
I cut the flower from the Sesame Street Seasons cartridge. It can be found on page 31. I cut it at 3 inches. I mounted it on a label that I cut from Lacey Labels. It is shape #41 on the overlay. And I cut it at 2.75 inches. The bg paper is from My Mind's Eye-Dolled Up 6x6 pad. My sentiment is from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps. I finished up my card by adding some buttons to it. Head on over to Bitten By The Bug 2 and check out what my DT Sisters have created for inspiration. Awesomeness for sure! And while you are over there, check out what the rules are of our challenges are and the head to your crafty space and create a project and pass it on!!

April Showers-May Flowers
I know it's the dreaded Monday, but hey, it's also the start of a great new challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2!! Our hostess today is the wonderful DT Sister Melanie. She has challenged us to make a project using flowers from any Cricut Cartridge. I decided to use my much neglected April Showers cartridge to make my card. I was going to make an A2 card, but I cut my watering can and flowers to big. So I opted for a 6x6 card instead. I'm glad I did. I decided to pull out my Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Ovals and Scalloped Ovals Large, and cut this great base to put my cuts on and layers for the inside. I popped up my base. I cut the watering can and flowers at 2.50 inches. The flowers can be found at the # 29 & 39 spots on the overlay and the flowers are at the #22 & 32 spots. I also cut an extra of the base piece for the watering can so I could pop it up and put my flowers between the layers. I then popped it up on the base piece. I added some faux half pearls from Recollections. I also embossed the flower stems using Cutterbug Bird Call embossing folder and the flowers with the Polka Dots folder. The sentiment tag is from My Craft Spot as is the sentiment that is stamped on the tag. The tag is from the Tiny Tags stamp set and the sentiment is from the Tiny Tags 2 set. The bg paper is from Echo Park-Sweet Day 6x6 pad. I finished off the front with some seam binding that I dyed and crinkled.
Head on over to Bitten By The Bug 2 and check out what my DT Sister's have created for some inspiration. Awesomeness for sure!! While you are there check out the rules to our challenges on the sidebar. Then head on to your crafty space and create a new project using flowers from any Cricut Cartridge!!

Buttons!!
Morning, morning!!! Hope all is well with you this fine Monday morning!! Are you ready for a new challenge at Paper Playtime? Our theme this time is 'Buttons'. I searched my Silhouette files and decided to make this card. It is called Card Kit Floral. It cuts the one base piece and then the flower, leaves and butterflies. I love how they turned out. I took a piece of orange cardstock to use as my card base and to cut the butterflies from. I cut extra butterflies so I could have some for the inside and to add to the top of the two on front so I could pull the wings up to make then look like they are in flight. I also added some small faux pearls down the body part. On their picture of this card kit, they have a great big gemstone in the center of the flower, but I added this big orange button from Bo Bunny to mine. I love it!! The sentiment is a wooden stamp from Inkadinkado that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I am well please with how this turned out. A CAS card. I'm starting to really like doing these.
Our sponsor for our challenge is The Robin's Nest with a $15 gift certificate to their online store. There is some great stuff over there!!!

Mom
Good morning everyone!! Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was fabulous. Spent a lot of time in my Crafty Room!! Now I'm ready for the new challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2. Hope you are, too. Our wonderful Susan is our hostess for this challenge. She has challenged us to make a project honoring Mom. We also have a Guest Designer today~Michelle Criswell. She is so very talented.
I wanted to make a shaped card, so I cranked up my Gypsy Girl and pulled up the Elegant Edges cartridge. I welded to of the Eyelet 2-oblong shadows together to make my shaped card. This cut can be found on page 52. I cut the oblong at 4.75 (2 of these), 3.75 and 3.00 inches to make my layers. 'Mom' was cut from the Mother's Day 2010 cartridge. This cut can be found at the #6 and #16 spots on the overlay. I then coated Mom in Crystal Stickles and the flower part in Cotton Candy Stickles. I added some faux pearl flourish's from Recollections. I finished off the front with a double bow using some ribbon that I dyed and crinkled. I added the sentiment on the inside. It is from the 'Mother's Day' stamp set from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps. I'm real pleased with this card.
