Flowers

Today starts a new linky party at Pause Dream and Enjoy and also we are welcoming some new ladies to our Design Team!! Please head over and meet them and check out their projects. You won't be sorry at all!
Our challenge is to use flowers on our projects. Now, you can make any type of project that you want to just as long as you use flowers.
I made a card. I know, no surprise there at all. I used my Silhouette Cameo and cut these tulips that I purchased from the Silhouette Store. It is file #58446. The labels that I put my sentiment on are also from the Silhouette Store. They are file #48777. The great pattern bg dp is from Echo Park-Sweet Day 6x6 pad. I love it. My sentiment is from the 'Mother's Day' stamp set from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps. I popped the sentiment mats up and added some bling on each end to finish it off. I also popped up the middle tulip.
I sure hope you plan on checking our the projects that my DT Sister's have made. I promise you that they are awesomeness for sure!!! And I also hope you plan on joining us for our Linky Party. You have until May 11th to link up a project. So looking forward to seeing what you make.
Hope ya'll like my tulip card!!!! :)

Happy Birthday

Morning!! Hope ya'll had a great weekend and are now ready for a new challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2? Our talented DT Sister Diana is our hostess this week. She has challenged us to use a Cricut cut of a birthday cake on our project. I decided to make a tag. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More to cut my tag. I cut three so it would be thicker. The cake I cut from the Birthday Bash cartridge. It can be found on page 25. I cut it at 3.5 inches. I added a little glossy accents, a little Sugar Coating White Glitter and some Wink of Stella to my cake and candle. The sentiment is from a wooden stamp from Stampabilities. That's is for me today.
Head on over to Bitten By The Bug 2 and check out the projects that my DT Sister's made. Awesomeness for sure!!!! While you are over there, check out the rules of our challenges in the sidebar. Then head to your crafty space and create a new project using a Cricut cut of a birthday cake on it. You have until Sunday, May 4th to link up your project. So looking forward to seeing what your make!
Hope ya'll like my tag!!!! :)

Cardz TV 'Anything Goes' Blog Hop

Hope ya'll checked out the 3-D teams half of the blog hop yesterday. If not, then you missed some awesomeness for sure!!!
Today is the Card teams turn. Now, if you came here from Lynn's then you are on the right track. If you just stopped by to visit, well thank you. Why don't you join us for our hop. Head to Mary's and start from the beginning. There could be some blog candy along the way. I know Mary will be giving 2 sets of her awesome stamps away to one lucky follower/commentor. So you don't want to miss out on that chance!!
We are showcasing Mary's newest stamp sets. You can see them all by going here. The one I chose is 'Girl Talk'. I just love this set. I chose to use the 'Girls just wanna have Fun!' stamp. I headed to the Silhouette store to hunt a great cut to go with this sentiment. I found this darling Born To Shop Girls In Car. It is by Stinkin Cute Paper Piecings and is file #45094. It reminded me so much of my BFF and myself. We love to shop together and 'have fun'!. And it fit us perfect. She is blond and I am brown headed!!. I didn't cut the phrase to put on the tag. I hand wrote 'BFF!' instead. The bg dp is from Ki-Girly Girl pad. The sentiment tag is from Jaded Blossom candy wrap die. And to finish off my card, I put the car on an action wobble!!! I so love how it turned out!! I'll be mailing this one off to my BFF really soon!
How about some blog candy from me? Just head over to Cardz TV Stamps and see which stamp set you would most love to have. Leave me one comment and let me know which one it is and a way for me to get in touch with you if your the winner. The only catch is that you have to have a U.S. address. I will pick by random.org and announce the winner on Monday evening.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello!!! I decided that since today is my turn to present the Daily Project at Exploring Cricut and More that I would show ya'll the Mother's Day Box Card that I made. I got this file from the Silhouette Store. It is by Lori Whitlock and it is file #56779. I think her box cards are awesome. The wavy paper is some that I found in one of my paper drawers. I don't know where I got it, nor how long I've had it. But I thought it would be cute on this card. My Mom loves flowers of all colors so I did orange, pink and blue. I also put some rhinestones in the centers of the flowers. I really like the 'MOM' cutout. The sentiment is from the 'Happy Days' stamp set from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps. I popped the top sentiment piece up on one thickness of foam tape.
That is it for me today. I sure hope you have been checking out the daily projects that my DT Sisters have been showcasing each day. If not, you have really missed some awesomeness for sure!! Also, have you entered our challenge? Well if not, you still have time to create a 'Spring' project including at least one flower. You have until 10pm, EST tonight to link it up.
Hope ya'll like my box card.
If you have a Silhouette, go check out all of the box cards in the Silhouette Store. They are pretty impressive. :)

Spring

Happy Friday!!! Hope ya'll have some great plans for the weekend.
But before you get started on them, why don't you take time to join us for our new card challenge at Cardz TV. Mary has challenged us to make a card for Spring. When I think of Spring, I think of the new flowers blooming. I so love all of the different kind and variety of colors. I searched the Silhouette Store and found these great flowers. They are file #28024 and I used my Cameo to cut them. I got the grass from the Silhouette Store also, but I'm sorry, I totally failed to write down the file number for it. The clouds are from a punch. I put my sentiment on the inside. It is from Mary's 'Think Spring' stamp set. You can get you very own set by going here.
Head on over to Cardz TV and check out the cards that my DT Sisters made. Awesomeness for sure!!!! Then head to your crafty space and create a new card for Spring. Who knows, you just might be the lucky one to win one of Mary's stamp sets. And you have until Thursday, May 8th to link.
Hope ya'll like my card!!!! :)
This is my last challenge as a Cardz TV DT member. Mary will have a new team for the next few months. I plan on trying out for the next term, so I won't be far away. Please check out Mary's new team starting soon. I know they will have some awesomeness for sure for you to be inspired by!!

Thank You

Morning! Hope ya'll have a most awesome Easter. We had a fabulous time at our daughter and son-in-laws. It's always great to spend time with them and the grands.
Now it is time for a new challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2. Our wonderful and talented Caroline has issued us the challenge of using a bird on our card or project. I decided to use the little bird on the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I haven't used this cart is forever!!! I cut the little bird at 2.5 inches. I used my Big Shot and cut a Spellbinders Label Eight and put behind my bird. The bg paper is from Heidi Grace. The sentiment on the front is from the 'Heartfelt Wishes' stamp set and the one on the inside is from the 'Birds and Bees' stamp set. These are both from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps.
Head over to Bitten By The Bug 2 and check out the projects that my DT Sisters made. Awesomeness for sure!!! While you are there, check out the rules for our challenges in the sidebar. Then head to your crafty space and create a new project with a Cricut cut of a bird on it. Can't wait to see what you make!! You have until Sunday, April 27th to link up your project.

Bloom!

I hope ya'll have a wonderful Easter and are now ready for a new challenge at Exploring Cricut and More? Diane has issued a 'It's a Spring Thing' challenge. Make a card, layout or paper craft celebrating Spring and include at least one flower.
The Silhouette Store has this great 5x7 card by Snapdragon Snippets that I just love. It is file #57570. I thought it fit this challenge perfectly. I used my Cameo to cut everything out. It has two options for the card base. One with brad holes and one without. I chose the one without. And I just love the flowers. The lily is just the perfect shape and the other flowers complement it. I popped the sentiment piece up on one thickness of foam tape and added some orange rhinestones at each end. The sentiment on the inside is from the 'Rejoice' stamp set from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps.
How about heading on over to Exploring Cricut and More and check out the 'Spring' creations that my DT Sisters made. Awesomeness for sure!!!!
Then head to your crafty space and create a Spring project and link it by 10pm, Saturday, April 26th. We so love to see what ya make.

Are you ready for a new challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2? Our wonderfully talented Brenda is our hostess this week and she has challenged us to make a project for Easter.
I went super simple with my card. I used the New Testament cartridge. I cut the Crosses on page 52 at 5 inches. All of the sentiments are from the 'Easter Blessings' stamp set from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps. The inside sentiment says: For I know that my Redeemer lives...Job 19:25. Told you it was super simple!

Easter Treat Box

Well Saturday is here. How I wish I was off!!! But I'm not. I do have a project to share with ya though. It is my day to present the Daily Project at Exploring Cricut and More. I'm still working on Easter goodies for the grands. Today I used a clear plastic box from Jaded Blossom. Just scroll down the page a little when you get there and you will find them. I found this cute Chocolate Bunny in the Silhouette Store. It is file #2171. I think it is so cute with its pink ribbon around its neck. I used a small faux half pearl for the eye. The grass is from My Craft Spot Fancy Edges Metal Dies. The tag is from a Quick Kutz Tag Die. I tied it on with some Blossom twine from The Twinery. The sentiment is from the 'Happy Days' stamp set from Mary-Cardz TV Stamps. I covered the back side of the box with a piece of dp from the Doodlebug Design-Springtime 6x6 pad. Then I filled it up with some candy.
Have you been checking out the Daily Projects that my DT Sisters have been presenting this week? If not, you have been missing out on some awesomeness for sure!!! And also, have you entered our challenge? You still have time. Just create a new project for Easter using at least one frame and one embellishment and then link it by 10pm., EST, tonight.
Well, that is it for me today. I'm hoping to be able to get into my crafty room this afternoon when I get home. That is, if it isn't a beautiful sunny day and I decide to spend it outside!!
Hope ya'll like my Easter Treat Box!!!! :)

God Bless You!

Morning ya'll!!! Are you ready for another card challenge at Cardz TV? Mary has challenged up to make a card for Easter. I didn't want a cutesy card. So I got on the computer and started hunting in the Silhouette Store for some for Easter and was Religious. I found this awesome Easter Cross. It is file #56993 and is from Lisa Norris. I fell in love with it!!! The base is A2 size so it covers the front of the card. It has a stained glass look to it. I coated each of the rays with clear Wink of Stella Brush. The cross is fabulous with the drape on it. The sentiment is from the 'Count Your Blessings' stamp set. The inside sentiment is from the ,Easter Blessings, stamp set. You can find these and Mary's other fabulous Cardz TV Stamps by going here. A very simple, but I think, powerful card.
Head on over to Cardz TV and check out the Easter cards that my DT Sister's made. Awesomeness for sure!!! Then head to your crafty space and make one. Then link it by Sunday, April 24th. Can't wait to see what you create. And just maybe, you will be the lucky one to win a set of Mary's stamps!!!!

Happy Easter

Good Monday Morning everyone!!! Hope your weekend was wonderfully sunny and warm. Ours started out that way Saturday and then turned to rain Sunday. :(
Are y'all ready for a new challenge over at Exploring Cricut and More? Diane has challenged us to create a card, layout or paper craft for Easter. And you have to use at least one frame and one embellishment (buttons, brad, jewel, etc.). I decided to make a layout for this challenge. Shocked ya there didn't I?! I just want to be prepared for at least one of the Easter pictures that I'm hoping to get. I used my Silhouette Cameo for all of my cuts. And all of the cuts were bought in the Silhouette Store. I love this Frame. It is by Jamie Koay is file #17672. I think it is great cut in the purple. I added the white back so you can see the cutouts better. The Journal Card is by Sarah Hurley and is file #38618. The tulips are by Lisa Norris. I didn't cut the goofy face that went with it because I wanted to use these Peachy Keen Stamps face stamps. These are from the Piles of Smiles set. I used my white gel pen to white some eyes and a red glitter pen to redden some noses. And yeah, I smudged the top of one of them. That's cus I decided to stamp faces on them after the fact. Ya know, after I got the glued down and decided that they just need to have faces to make them super cute. I used some purple rhinestones from Hobby Lobby in the center of the full flowers for my embellishment. The bg paper is some open stock that I got at Hobby Lobby.
Well that is it. I hope you will head over to Exploring Cricut and More and check out the Easter projects that my DT Sisters made. You will see some awesomeness for sure!!!
Check out the rules for our challenges in the side bar, and then head to your crafty space and create a new project for Easter. You will have until 10pm, EST, Saturday, April 12th to link it up. Can't wait to see what you create!!
Hope ya'll like my Easter layout!!!

"Count Your Blessings" Card Blog Hop

Hello my Crafty Friends!!! If you got here from Debbie's, then you are in the right spot. Wasn't her card most fabulous?! If you just stopped by to say hi, well hello! How about joining us for our 'Count Your Blessings' card blog hop with Cardz TV. We are showcasing one of Mary's newest stamp sets, 'Count Your Blessings'. You can pick up your very own copy right here. You will want to start from the beginning at Mary's and hop right along. There just may be some candy along the way. Mary will be giving 2 sets of her stamps to one lucky winner that will be chosen by random.org. You do have to be a follower of Cardz TV.
Now for my project. I have fallen in love with the Box Cards. I think they are so cute. And they fit inside an A2 envelope!!!! I have bought every file that is in the Silhouette Store. And I plan on making every one of them at some point. For the blog hop, I have chosen the 'Birthday' box card. Seems like all of my fellow employees are having birthdays at once, so I want to be prepared. I cut it the size it comes in the file. This one is file #56156. I used this great Chevron papers from an Echo Park-Splendid Sunshine 6x6 paper pad for the bottom part of the box. Went with a solid green for the flaps and the back. The cake, present and stars are made from scraps from my scrap collection. I used my Clear Wink of Stella brush on the starts and candle flame. I did some doodling on the top flaps with my Clear Star Gel Pen. And the sentiment is of course from the 'Count Your Blessings' stamp set.
Now, I didn't take a picture of any blog candy, because I think I will give you a choice. You can choose one of Mary's stamp sets, I will purchase it and sent it to you. You will need to have a U.S. mailing address. You don't have to be a follower of my blog and I sure wouldn't turn you away. Please only leave one comment and leave me a way to get in touch with you to let you know if you win.

Easter Basket

Good morning everyone!! Don't know what happened to my post for Pause Dream Enjoy Linky Party that started this morning. But anywho, here it is! Better late than never!! :)
Janis challenged us to make 3-D projects for this Linky Party. Since I'm trying to get stuff made for the grands, I make this super adorable Easter Basket. I used my Silhouette Cameo. The basket is from the Silhouette Store. It is file #56784. The Easter paper I used is open stock from Hobby Lobby. I got it last year, but while I was there yesterday, I noticed that they are still stocking it. Now, the little Bunny Nuggets pattern is from SVG Cutting Files called Nugget Heads. I think they are just adorable and perfect for an Easter Basket.
That is it for me today. Hop on over to Pause Dream Enjoy Linky Party and check out what my DT Sister's made. Awesomeness for sure!!!! Then head to your crafty place and create a 3-D project and link it by Monday, April 14th. Can't wait to see what you come up with!!!
Hope ya'll like my Easter Basket!!!! :)
