I bought this stampendous sentiment stamp awhile ago and decided I better pull it out and make a card. Isn't it adorable I have not used CAC in a long time and it should fit a few challenges.

I hope you like it.I got the paper in MI., while I was there, it was someones birthday and I had to make them a card. I think I got this paper at Walmart when my BFF and I did our midnight run.  The stamp on the dotted paper looks out of focus, but it isn't-- I don't think I will stamp on dotted paper again.

Good Morning Friends,

I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow, so I made this cute little card.    She knows she is having a boy and I made this card to match all the baby items that I purchased.  Aren't there just the cutest little clothes out there? I had to stop my self. I really lucked out apparently they had a special scrath off mystery discount day . I scratched off 30% not bad.  I was pretty happy about that. On to my card.

 I kind of used this card as inspiration: boy and elephant

Good Afternoon, Everyone,
Here is a card I made for a couple of challenges. I was able to leave some comments last night, I'm thankful for that, but I was not able to leave comments on all the blogs I visited. I'm hoping all the bugs will get worked out.

Create-a Critter is where the squirrel image came from  all the papers are printed and cut from the mystical garden imagine cartridge, except for the blue polka dot paper is from DCWV.
The stamp sentiment is from My Pink Stamper stamp set "Punny-licious"
the ink is  Tim Holtz scattered straw.
I'm entering this into a couple of challenges.
CTO:  Polka dots
DCD: squirrel

Have a great night see you later. Diana

Sunday Evening-

Good Evening,

I hope you all are having a great day.  We are enjoying 68 degree weather here, it is quite a nice day. I have a design I did today to enter into the MAG challenge.  I thought My design was due today and it is not due until next week, so I decided to do some other designs, which more will be finished in the next couple of days. Hope you enjoy. 

For Mag challenge it was to use only page#59 of Create a Critter-- This was one of the easier challenges. I added some Imaginesce studs to the points of the star to give it a little masculine bling. 6x6 card

I appreciate you visiting and leaving comments,

If any of you dear followers see any thing please don't hesitate to let me know

FRIDAY-Cooking with Cricut Challenge

Well I never entered this into a challenge It was just a series that I was doing for myself, because My goal was to use every stamp on the set before I bought another set.  Well a challenge came up that this fits so here it is-- The other part of this card was ---Amy, asked Does that pink cow give strawberry milk? and guess what it does, that is why the card next to it is strawberry milk. Thanks Amy great idea

Wednesday- Hoarders and challenges

The other day I happened across a show on TV, while I was putting the OWH cards together. I spent a few hours watching hoarders.  I was fascinated and saddened. They actually call these people SICK
Sensitive, Intelligent, Creative and  I think the K stands for knowledgeable, but don't hold me to that.  I had heard of this show before, but had never watched it one of the episodes was about a man who hoarded rats, of all things. They became like his family after his wife ( age 39) had died of a sudden heart attack, they became his companions and family.  The two that he started with soon became 2,000.  When the neighbors started complaining about rats by his house Authorities came. They treated the man very humanely and they were very concerned with his pet rats. These actually were pets, they were domesticated rats. At the end of the show they had found homes for 500 of the rats so far, which in so doing this, is helping this man through his grieving process.  I highly recommend watching at least one of these episodes-- What did I do ?

Put it this way, it was trash day in our neighborhood that night, I even borrowed my neighbors garbage can.
I have another load for the women's shelter and some for goodwill. It's not like I have a lot of stuff, but I have what I need and for that, I am grateful .  That is why I want to share the card I made today. Have a SUNNY Day

MORE -WEDNESDAY- No one is perfect and MPS punny-licious stamp set with CAC cartridge

 This was my original -the third one I did not care for the pattern underneath and the owl is too small for the card.

 I accidentally pasted the owl the same way as the first one that I did not like-- dah!!!- that was at the Cricut Circle there was so much going on there I wasn't paying attention.

Then, for  the fifth and sixth one I had forgotten to put feet and the beak on . I was going to post these pictures as the finished project and I looked and  I thought something does not look right here. Then, I realized ---- no beak? no feet?

 The process of the owl went like this: the top one was made larger and with the plain purple on the inside  I like this one the best and this is what I will stick with cut @3", although 3.25" would have worked also-- Remember I'm trying to keep this series all looking the same.

The Paper Variety

For paper Variety the challenge was 1-2-3 elemnets

1. Die cut 

2. punches 

3. googly eyes

Recipe

5x7 card

I used Create A critter for the chick cut @4"

the grass was cut at 1/12 from straight from the Nest cart. and everything else was done with punches, glud and foam tape and of course ATG.

Most of the paper came out of my scrap box.

This is only the second time I have used this create a critter.

I love this cart everything is so quick and cute. I think I'll have to make some more of these types of cards.

THURSDAY--

I made this for the Mag challenge and the CTO Celebrate the Occasion (New  Home) The idea for MAG was to use CAC cart and only the images on Page 50.
I knew I wanted to enter the CTO challenge to support my teammates ( the other half, Team 1) The challenge there is to make a card for a new home

I cut the volcano out 7 times to make the roof- The brown part of the roof is the bone, the columns on the side and the dark brown fence are also the bone . The fence and the bushes are made out of the dino the fence is made of his feet upside down the bushes are his back spikes , then I used copic markers to shade the bushes.

Booo Hooo  I just went over to Mag challenge, I thought the challenge ended today -- and it ended yesterday
That is OK I still had fun doing it and I'm entering it in CTO
