Early V-Day Card Share!

Hello everyone!  I know it's been a couple of days since I've been on we had a wonderful time in Cleveland with my Hubby's family and we had a fun tea-party/sprinkle for our baby number two coming soon!  So, after I got home last night I made a few cards and I wanted to share one of my V-Day Cards with you...

I used background paper that I found in the dollar section of Target ( came with a pack of 6 different sheets!)  I cut a slip of pink paper and ran it through my Texture Boutique and the swirl A2 folder.  I then cut the purple and pink heart out using the Love Struck Cartridge, and I had added pink stickles before laying the purple heart layer ontop of the pink.  Finally I added two pink I-Rock gems, and finished with the word "love" from MPS everyday sayings stamp set! 
Thank you for looking and all coments that you leave me I love them!
Happy Crafting!

This fun little card is for my valentine ( aka the cutest little man I know! ), who absolutely loves trains!

I used the Create a Critter Cartridge for the train and the hearts, as well as the little saying blobs of "steam".  I used my white gell pen and black one for the eyes and to add outlining around certain parts.  I used my I - Rock tool for some "bling" on the wheels, and I used my red and pink stickles for the hearts and for the "steam" puffs... plus what cute kid v-day card doesn't have some delightfully tacky saying??? So I just had to put Love Choo out of an alphabet stamp set, hehehe!

I have other fun news to share... if you go to The Busy Bug they are giving away a cartridge a week!  That's right, how awesome is that!  So stop by for your chance to win!!!!

My Pink Stamper Birthday Challenge!

Hello again, just me your fellow scrapper with another card for a different challenge!  My Pink Stamper is having another awesome challenge for her Birthday... all you have to do is make something that co-relates to birthdays... so I decided to take the time and make my Nephew's 2nd Birthday Card now and use it for both purposes!

I used my Elmo's Party Cartridge to make this card ( one that is not seen very often, but I love it! ).  If you have any little ones in your house this is a must have cartridge!  And the only other thing I added were some stickles for the dots around the confetti!  Did I mention that I used My Pink Stamper Everyday Saying Stamp set? Can't get enough!  I think this card is just too cute and I know he is going to LOVE it!  But shhhhh.... it's a birthday surprise!

Cricut Cardz Challenge Entry!

Hello, sorry it has been a few days since I could get on here my family had that wonderful little flu that was going around... thank goodness that is over!  So now I can finally post my Cricut Cardz Challege Card!
The challenge was to use any cartridge that had a snowman on it:

I used my Snow Friends Cartridge for my happy dancing snowman!  I ran my blue card through my Sizzix Texture Boutique and the divine Swirls A2 folder.  I took an extra peice of white shiny paper and gave it a tearing affect along the bottom, and I used one of my snowflake stamps stamped in blue, cut around it and added some large bling in the middle to show the snow he's dancing in.  Final touch was with the two little "buttons" on my snowman from my I-Rock tool!

Thank you so much, and go check out the other entrys or enter yourself!

A Happy Little Birthday Card!

Hello, Hello, Hello!!!!  I have had some great scrapbook shopping experiences in the past two days!  I finally got my hands on some Stampin' Up Stamp pads, yay!  And then today I went to a "garage sale" of types in which the lady was selling all of her scrapbooking stuff and I made out like a bandit!  So after finally straightening and getting everything reorganized and in new homes I sat down and made this fun Birthday Card!  Hope you enjoy!

I used brown cardstock for the backing, added a yellow cardstock which I ran through my Sizzix Texture Boutique with the swiss dots folder.  I then stamped with Classic Cocoa from Stampin' Up and My Pink Stamper Everyday Sayings Stamp set.  I cut a strip of the candles from my Birthday DCVW paper stack.  Finally the cake was cut using my Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge, toped with some added stickles in gold and white, and a final touch of I-Rock Bling!
Happy Crafting!

Two Page Layouts

Hello everyone!  I first want to thank all of my followers for inspiring me to keep sharing my work, my responses from all of you have def. made me feel welcome!  Now onto some two page layouts that I wanted to share with you that I have been working on as of late...

For these two pages I used my Basic Bootcamp Cartridge for the letters, except for the letter B which I used a chipboard to make the title stand out more against the busy background paper that I bordered through the middle of the pages.  Since the "stars" paper was double sided I cut two more strips out and flipped over to the blue color and used my EK success paper trim punch.

I used my Cuttin' Up Cartridge for the title of these two pages and my Create a Critter Cartridge for the second page animals ( I LOVE this cartridge I think I only say that million times a week hehehe!).  I also added some paw print stickers going across the middle of the pages for an added touch.

I appologize for the glare on some of the pictures, I was in a bit of a rush today!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!

Happy Crafting!
